“We passed this road side treat while sight seeing the area....We had no idea that the choice made would be the best lunch of vacation!! With nearly 3000 reviews(as of this post) it's worth the almost 5 star review. The staff at the registers were personable and very helpful for the number of tourists that needed a little help deciding what to order.The food was made quickly and the taste/freshness was amazing!! We got Gumbo, shrimp "samwich", fish tacos, hushpuppies, and crab claws.The small sitting area outside was very clean and had all the supplies and sauces we needed for lunch.Sorry, no pictures- enjoy all the others.“

As soon as we sat down, she immediately gave us the food menu and took our drink order. She kept coming by to see if we needed anything. Alex displayed awesome customer service!! The food was delicious! Definitely will be back!!!“

“We had the shrimp dinner and fries -it was 10/10! Excellent! I had the blackened redfish sandwich and broccoli. I only ate the fish - it too was excellent!The only negatives the service was very slow. But they were busy. So we didn’t mind waiting. I was a little annoyed by paying two dollars extra for a side of broccoli. It was not listed under the premium sides so I assumed that was included in one of the sides.“

“So I've been coming here to eat for years. I've had dinner here countless times. Every entrée and appetizer I've had were exemplary. Sure, I've had the soup, but let's be honest. It's soup. Egg drops, and hot and sour are great, but there's nothing special about it. The sushi is top-notch. The owner makes it so the quality is second to none. Entrées are all great. If you don't know what to get, just get anything. You can't go wrong unless you order seafood and you don't like seafood or whatever. I'll eat here every day of the week and twice on Tuesday. Oh yeah, the best yum-yum sauce. I put it on everything. I'll bathe in it if I could. 4 stars overall. Three stars for the atmosphere because it's nice, but it's also standard looking.“

Our server was nice, however the service was extremely slow for a lunch time.Food did turn around quick from kitchen once placed but getting greeted, drinks, placing order, getting boxes and bill, to cash out was delayed. Only reason I would be hesitant to bring lunch guests here again while in town.“

Only thing that was off. No lobster dishes during lobster fest. They were out of everything but the live whole lobster. Not a big deal for us but we had wanted to get a lobster appetizer that they didn't have. Still we very much enjoyed it.“

“I was visiting from GA last year on my birthday. I specifically stopped in for the karaoke, but the gentleman hosting informed that he was about to call up his last singer. Without realizing the locals had overheard our conversation, everyone in almost unison proclaimed, "let her sing, let her sing!" Very cool way to be welcomed as this was not so much a vacation as it was a remembrance of my late mother who would always go on road trips here with me and my sisters to Florida. Thank you all for the hospitality. I hope to visit again soon.“

The food coming out of the kitchen looked amazing. Jennifer the bar manager was hustling and helping out. From working in the food industry you cannot predict some nights being busier then others based on the staffing they had. Would for sure return“
