“Mike's bites is amazing! We always go multiple times on our trip to the island and have been going since it 1st opened!! My husband and I love the hotdogs and of course my daughter loves the Italian ice! Mike and his staff are very accommodating and always so nice! Can't wait to be back to see you guys!”

“Really wonderful iced chai with almond milk! One of the best we’ve had. Great black coffee, too. The staff were friendly and there was nice outdoor seating. We would definitely return on our next visit!”

“DAVID, OUR DINING EXPERIENCE WAS EXCELLENT. THE FOOD WAS "ON POINT". THE PORTIONS WERE MUCH LARGER THAN EXPECTED. ALLISON AND HANNAH WERE VERY ATTENTIVE. THANKS AGAIN FOR A GREAT ”

“Cool spot on the water. Food is decent (average pub food). Service and atmosphere were excellent when we went on a Sunday night, we were seated quickly (despite a bit of a crowd) and our server was great.Wings were tasty. Fish sandwich lacked a little flavor, but was overall good.”

“Once again the pizza was perfect, crispy, thin crusted and just what we needed after a long day floating on the river. We were pleasantly surprised to find the new charcuterie added to the menu since our trip here, same time last year. And in a pizza box! Couldn't be better. Unless you chase it with the frozen lemonade or frose'. Which we did.Vegetarian options: The veggie pizza with white sauce is the best selection on the menu imho.”

“After taking out a personal loan, I was going to get dinner at the Maritime Market for me and my 2 teens. I saw the sign for Side Wok, checked out their menu, and ordered my kids "go to" General Tao's chicken with brown rice, and myself a side of mixed veggies. The sauce and chicken were tangy and crispy, the brown rice was perfectly cooked. I loved that they made it original, I found the char on the veggies absolutely. I understand people have different tastes, but I am truly baffled by the poor stars on the food. Thank you Side Wok for a delicious meal I didn't have to cook.”

“We’re big fans of this place and visit regularly when we’re in town. In all my. years on this planet, I have never had better cookies and cream ice cream. And I’ve had a lot of cookies and cream ice cream in my life. There were tons of Oreos, and they were actually still crispy. Not soggy as is typical. When they say fresh-made, they mean it!! Chef’s kiss for John & Lil’s. Seriously.”

“Great lunch sitting outside on a beautiful day. Good menu selection. Nice service too, the owner perhaps? Dog friendly, outside at least. Too bad we're not local!”

“This spot has been on list to try for a while now and I finally got the chance to stop in. It was totally worth the wait. We were greeted with a friendly smile and a warm welcome. I was given a menu but I asked what was a favorite vegan dish. I decided on the owner’s favorite the ramen noodle dish with tofu. This is a ramen dish without a broth and it served with a white creamy goodness sauce!!! They offer a peanut sauce as well but I went with a ginger sauce. To topIt off I got the coconut cake with the blood orange filling…there are literally no words ?…I’m speechless and so happy with my dinner!!!!My expectations were far exceeded!!! The food was outstanding!!! Service was WOW!!!Not that it really matters but the bathroom wallpaper was adorable too.”

“Google, you guys gotta fix this. You’re missing two categories. Cleanliness & Pricing. Get it together guys, get it together.? Anyway, I give this restaurant five stars in 5 categories for five reasons. Great food for one. Good atmosphere for two. Good customer services for three. Cleanliness for Four. And pricing for Five. So all in all, Little Bits Grill gets 25⭐️’s. Can’t go wrong here. Definitely a taste of southern. And the burgers are very healthy. Just good everything all the way around. And I’m a healthy guy(tummy wise!), and I can really put it down, but I was just barely able to finish my meal… But do you see this burger though?Wheelchair accessibility: Definitely wheel chair accessible.”

It has tomatoes, onions, peppers, mushrooms, and cheese.

The food was delicious and even though the place was crowded and people were waiting, my food was presented hot and they kept the coffee coming. I'm retired military and I know what a good team looks like and they have that here. Michelle Gardner and Lindsay Hamilton should be awarded and commended for great customer service.”
