The crab cake sandwich was really tasty and the old bay fries with cheese sauce dip was good. Small place with nice workers. 3 years later and we’re back but this time I had the crab cake and old bay scallops. Scallops were nice, soft and thick.

We stopped by for dinner and everyone found something to eat.

Good experience overall and the beer battered shrimp was great. The service was average, nothing extraordinary. The only bad thing that happened during our visit was that my brother’s fried fish tasted like pure egg. Thankfully, we got a discount off of the check, but I would come back to try some of their other stuff.

Food Poisoning just a Seafood Wrap away! By far the WORST experience I’ve ever had eating anywhere I’ve traveled. I will try and keep it short and matter of fact. But, this is insane! We noticed our wrap being made with no gloves on. We even heard the owner, Jay tell the young man to put one on, in which he did but continued to finish out the same wrap. First issue besides the no gloves being used is the SAME WRAP and SAME BIN OF LETTUCE. While he was almost done, I got Jay’s attention and explained what we saw and he was rude, indifferent and almost argumentative. He knew exactly what I was talking about and took NO accountability. His response, was that his employees wash their hands. Okay, buddy that makes no difference, when food is never to be handled without gloves. This guy shouldn’t be owning a restaurant. He wasn’t apologetic, accountable or understanding and stared us down when we left. His second response, was “okay fine I’ll have him make a new one.” This is insane to me, especially when I approached him kindly and discreetly! If I was local, I would be calling the health department on this place. Disgusting! Food Poisoning is waiting to happen here!

We did a very large takeout order, and they were quick and accurate and they were very accommodating.

Could not believe Jay’s has groper. The dinner with three pieces was too much for me. Could have been satisfied with the sandwich. Shrimp in the basket was very good. Liked the old bay on fries. Quaint little spot. Friendly and nice menu.

Wow, this was without a doubt the worst crabcake I have ever been served. I ordered the “Jumbo Lump Crab Cake Salad” and there was not a lump in sight. The crabcake looked like a lightly browned, limp patty of tuna fish salad. This soft dollop of stringy crab was draped over a pile of what appeared to be chopped and bagged romaine lettuce from the grocery store, brown bits included. I’ve never sent about dish back to a kitchen before, but this was so unappetizing that I had to.

Excellent service and better food, the Dallas Fish sandwich was off the charts. Coleslaw was just as thick and sweet as I like and wanted more. Get in!
