I’ve been here twice and have really enjoyed it. It’s a small little spot that situated right on the water and it’s just past the bridge entering Gwynn’s Island. It’s a perfect spot for a beer and a nosh. My husband and I decided to visit on the 4th of July. They were busy and as hot as it was, we were very comfortable eating outside on their covered deck. My husband had a cheeseburger with fries….he said it was delicious but “very no frills.” It didn’t come with the usual lettuce tomato, onion, and pickle, so if you want that, i guess you need to ask for it. He said the fries were great. I had the shrimp tacos. Loved them. We also enjoyed an appetizer of onion rings. They were delicious. Service was excellent. This is such a cool little place to check out…especially during the summer months. Good, uncomplicated, fare and great atmosphere.

We were camping at 1000 trails and needed a small diversion because of the rain, so 9n a lark decided to check out Gywnn Island. After a jaunt around the very cool world of Gywnn, stopped in for lunch. SO glad we did, what a treat! Tasty beverages, but the food…we had the fish tacos, a strip of fried flounder on each taco, and the crab cake platter with fries and onion rings, then we split everything. Possibly one of the best crab cakes I’ve ever had, and having lived in Tidewater for going on 40 years now, I’ve had a few! The onion rings were amazing, and the fries were out of this world. Have never seen them cut quite like that, and they were some of the best ever. Stupid me, I only took pics of the drinks, but I think you’ll find plenty on the site to get the gist. What a treasure, if it were closer, we’d be here alot!

Had the best time today. I’ve known about this place but after a 20 mile bike ride I decided to go there with my wife. Everything was perfect. My wife was so happy and I have no idea how much lunch was, it was worth it. We loved all the dogs and struck up a conversation with the table next to us. We laughed so much. I told them that I had a YouTube channel about amazing dogs (carbonpictures) and they invited us to their house!!!

Beautiful views! Loved eating on the deck outside. Great place with kids you can walk on the dock and enjoy the views. The wait was a little long but well worth it. I suggest making a reservation in advance if you can. I recommend the blackened shrimp tacos they were delicious!

I wanted so badly to like this place because it was highly recommended by locals. I think we caught it on an off day but this was a pretty bad experience. We waited for a table which was fine because we needed a high chair and couldn’t do a high top. It wasn’t a long wait. Our waiter took 15 minutes to get our drink order, another 5-10 to get an appetizer in, and I had to stop him from walking away a 3rd time to put in our food. Our food took over an hour, maybe an hour and a half to come out. Our waiter only came to give us an update when him and I finally made eye contact and I guess he could sense I was getting annoyed. We were trying to enjoy the time there as it was a nice view, but watching everyone else get their food was pretty frustrating especially for our 2 year old. When I got my food, I had eaten half my sandwich before I realized they had left the plastic wax paper in between my sandwich. I mentioned this to to our waiter who explained that should not have happened and offered me a free dessert, which I appreciated. I was so irritated at this point and our kid was well past his bed time, we boxed up our food and went home.

Ok, let me explain about these photos. The food was so delicious and the fresh aromas just completely distracted me from taking pictures before the food was devoured. Every single dish we ordered was uniquely crafted and just good ol’ wholesome yumminess! The staff was a lot of fun. You didn’t just have service, you had fun, personable people getting your order and bringing you the food. I wanted to order one of everything off the menu! Beer was cold and they always made sure we didn’t have an empty glass. I will be going back again! Oh! I almost forgot! The view of the water was beautiful! Everyone gets to enjoy it too!

Our friends had been told they should try this restaurant for their great food. We decided to go on an adventure to try out this restaurant. There is a busy boat ramp there which provided entertainment for my 86 year old mother. The restaurant itself is small and rustic, and the one lowered star was because it was noisy. It took a while to get the food, but it was well worth the wait. Everything was delicious. We definitely want to return. Our waiter was friendly and did a nice job checking on us.
