Amazing! Staff was incredible and friendly. Came in after driving 2 hours to the shore.drink and hot food within 10 mins. The cheese steak is amazing! Like actual pieces of steak! Coming from pa I didn’t expect that but pleasantly surprised! Good music. My waitress sam was very attentive and welcoming! Awesome member to your team!

The place has a very rustic vibe, food was delicious and the service was excellent. I almost didn’t go due to some negative reviews but I’m glad I did.

I’ve been going to Used To Be’s for years – fun, easy beach lunch, great weekday lunch specials, good, attentive, servers. This year, sadly, the food is awful – and I won’t return. I ordered the chicken & avocado special and the chicken was raw – I sent it back and got chicken “jerky” back. On a subsequent trip I , again, got “jerky”. I kept trying – on another visit I ordered grilled chicken instead of fried and that, too, was overcooked & unpalatable. Ultimately, I eat out for the food and Used to Be’s food is awful.

Awesome food and even better service. The waitress was one of the best we have had in a while and was very accommodating. Food was great. Callimari wasn’t good at all too chewy. Hit or miss with squid these days. Everything else was to die for. The sweet potato fries are the best in area. Will deff be back.

Local hangout but Bennie friendly. Good prices for draft and food. Some of the best wings around, honestly. Super friendly, fast service. Sit at the bar, we did.

If I could give this place a zero stars I would. Bartender, hostess, and manager were incredibly rude. We came and asked for a table of 6 and were told 15-30 mins. We waited at the bar and the bartender gave us such an attitude when we were trying to order drinks. An hour later we asked the hostess how much longer for a table. She told us about 20 more mins. We waited an additional 20 mins and asked the hostess and manager how much longer. They admitted that they messed up and that we would be seated immediately. At this point we have been waiting an hour and 30 mins. Everyone was extremely hungry so I asked the hostess for a time estimate in which she told me another 20 mins. I approached the manager who proceeded to yell at me about how I just asked 5 mins ago and that they would seat us when they had a table. I understand that running a restaurant and dealing with a crowd can be challenging and stressful but these employees were incredibly rude and ruined our night. I wouldn’t recommend this place. This place has TERRIBLE customer service. 0/5 stars.

My wife’s lobster roll was very good. But my fish taco was very dry. The calamari was ok a little under cooked. The staff was very friendly. I felt the sangria my wife had was a little expensive for a bar 12 each. Like the place the first time I went. Think I’ll pass the next time I’m in the area

My husband and I ordered the lobster roll. When it came it looked good the fries were crunchy the roll was buttery but the lobster was hard to find. The sandwich was a lobster salad, and had some lobster in it but it was mostly imitation imitation crab and mayonnaise. The bloody Mary we had was delicious. We’re definitely give that five stars. The lobster roll, is not a lobster roll it’s a lobster salad sandwich.

Great little place to break from the beach and get a bite to eat. It’s not too expensive and everyone who works there is super nice.

We really love this place and go pretty regularly. That said, I would love to be recognized by the host, servers, or bartenders, which I feel is just good service. The food is good, I just wish they acknowledged the regulars. I’m not asking for special pricing or free drinks, just acknowledge that you’ve seen me before and welcome me back. If it weren’t for that, this would be a 5 star rating.
