Stopped here on the way back to MS from Dauphin Island. There’s not much in the way of food options once it gets past 8pm especially during the week. This is a little seafood restaurant with good food and pleasant staff. Arrived about an hour before they closed, and while the main area wasn’t full, they had a large party in the separate dinning room. Service was initially slow, understandably, and we sat at the bar and had drinks while we waited to take our order. Several of the items are market price so be aware and ask(more on that later). We ordered crab claw app, 1/2dz raw oysters and split what was initially a steamed seafood platter with 1lb ea crab/reds/shrimp but they were out of reds and we just got shrimp and crab legs. Again there was a large group when we showed up so things were a little slow to arrive. The claws were good, we ordered the spicy sauteed ones, but they were not spicy at all. Oysters were excellent, sweet and salty if not a little on the small side. The crab and shrimp were fresh, very large head on shrimp and large snow crab clusters. They were slightly over cooked, but nothing horrible. The food was all fresh and well prepared for the most part, my only complaint was the pricing and lack of notification. We saw it was market price for our entree and appetizer and asked for the price of the entree. It was reasonable for what they offered and we ordered to split. Should have asked about the crab claws, cause oh lawd talk about sticker shock. Did not realize 1/2lbs of blue crab claws was gonna run me $30+. The entree was $40 for 2lbs of seafood, $30 for 1/2lb didn’t add up in my head. Again make sure you ask first. The servers were friendly, we talked and joked the whole time, but no heads up on the $30 app?! I’m not too upset, and would go again, but I’ll be sure to ask next time.

The gumbo and stuffed crab was delicious. The garlic butter shrimp was good and it was my first time having grits. So I won’t rate them.

They have staff issues. Our server was fantastic, but the other two people seemed fairly worthless. She carried all the tables, and they sort of stood around. The gumbo was really good. The seafood salad (crab and shrimp) would have been great except there was too much shell in the crab. Just about every bite of crab had some shell. The ingredients were good and the portion was generous. Two of the salads, one bowl of gumbo and 2 diet cokes was $72 with tip.

Absolutely delicious seafood! Small little restaurant, unassuming from the outside and pretty rural location. Fresh seafood! The oysters were outstanding and entire meal was very reasonably priced! Good service and local vibe. Will be a regular now!!

Came here after our long drive to grab a bite to eat. The drinks were underwhelming, they were understaffed and the food was not what I expected for the price I paid. I’m disappointed that this was our first experience here on the Island. I understand inflation, but I go out often and the quality of service and food was just not up to par with a $40-$50 meal. Would not visit again.

Birthday gathering with family on a Thursday night. Table of 14 ready when we arrived. Drinks,apps,salads and entrees. Our server Jamie was outstanding. The manager came over,introduced herself and assisted running the food. Everyone enjoyed ourselves and the food was outstanding. Will most certainly be back. Have been eating here for many years and happy to see the restaurant is back like it used to be.

Great food. They were really busy and it took so long to get out appetizer the main dish came at almost the same time. Food was really, really good. We split raw oysters and the seafood sampler.

3.75 Place was clean. Service was extremely slow, over an hour for royal reds and crab claws and my wife’s shrimp meal. Crab Claws – $42 for a 1/2lb don’t mind paying it if you can eat all the meat of the claws. Good flavor but over done. $39 for a pound of Royal Reds. All over done, all hard to peel again flavor was good just over cooked. Don’t mind paying for good food but my portion of the meal was not worth $70. My wife’s $42 meal was not memorable.

Many years ago under different ownership this was a great place to eat. I recently revisited and it was the grossest most horrible seafood I have ever had other than Red lobster. It’s a shame so close to the Gulf and their food sucks!!!! I will never return there and I do not recommend anyone ever trying them. It’s a shame $87 for two people to eat and it was bad. Worst gumbo I ever ate, an absolute worst coleslaw, and the crab claws did not even have any meat on them. I could go on and on about what a horrible experience it was but take my advice and don’t find out for yourself.
