Celebrated our mom’s birthday. Mostly everyone in our party enjoyed their dishes. I didn’t really care for the fried stuffed shrimp wrapped in bacon. I guess the bacon overpowered the taste of the shrimp. The staff was very nice. Nicholas was our server & did great. The atmosphere & view was excellent.

We had an amazing experience! My husband and I had dinner here for the first time. The staff members were wonderful, the food was really good, and the atmosphere was beautiful! Our server Austin was amazing and upbeat. He told us about the menu and what he recommended. We ordered the captain platter, fried pickles, and blackened cobia fish. We really liked it. The fish and all the seafood was fresh. The fried pickles are the bread and butter sweet pickles which we really good. Loved to come back definitely!

Food was good BUT the pictured items (captain’s platter) was the only thing worth the price (36.00) my husband got fried shrimp that was 30.00 and only came with 10 pieces of shrimp, with really nasty coleslaw (tasted like too much vinegar) my kids got kids meals that were 10.99 or 11.99 a piece. The chicken tender meal comes with two pieces of chicken. My daughter had the burger sliders and said they were ok. The atmosphere was way too over crowded. Our waitress was great tho!

Excellent evening! Short wait for outside table near the beach. Delicious food – we had taco trio and rack of ribs. Very well prepared – so happy that tacos were made with fresh CORN tortillas, not flour as so many restaurants are doing. Anyone from the west coast knows that tacos are made of corn torts and burritos are made with flour torts! View of the Veatch and surf were awesome and the sunset was the icing on the cake – there are steps down to the beach!

This place is amazing! The atmosphere is friendly. The service was quick. I ordered shrimped wrapped in bacon and stuffed with crab. It was served with a horseradish dip, which was good. I also had a cucumber, squash, zucchini salad and garlic mashed potatoes on the side. It was delish!!

To drink, we had the blue wave. It was alright and the souvenir cup really isn’t worth the price. Our entrees were the fish tacos, the trio, a bowl of gumbo, and the stuffed shrimp. Everything was fresh and hot! The staff was polite, helpful with the menu, and checked on us periodically.

We all enjoyed playing a little corn hole while we waited for our food. Waiter was so nice to take a picture for us. Just a beautiful spot to sit and eat great food!

The food was fantastic! I had the fried shrimp and my daughter had the calamari. Both were excellent! Great service and beautiful view of the beach. You can walk out the back door right into the sand and beach. 10/10
