Do not come here. I have a reasonable standard for bar food and drinks. This place did not even sniff the low end of the spectrum; they took 2.5 hours to produce our food. We ordered tacos and wings, the simplest of food to make. The tacos had raw shrimp (pictured below) tossed into a tortilla straight from a freezer bag. The wings were also terrible, and incubated in the fryer for the least amount of time possible, which contradicts the insanely long wait time for fried chicken. The chef at this establishment should be put in a maximum security prison. The experience was beyond terrible, as it ruined the dinner and quite possibly the entire evening. Do yourself a favor and do not come here.

I never write reviews but this is the worst place I've ever been to my entire life. Food took 2.5 hours to arrive, they served us RAW SHRIMP in our tacos, I actually ran to the bathroom and threw up. The most disgusting restaurant experience ever. Every single person in our 8 person party was given their meal 30 minutes apart. Quality of the food was so awful, you could find better quality food in prison. The chef had to have been on drugs. I am traumatized.

No pictures because I was just too disappointed to care. Wanted to give this place a try, but ended up feeling let down with sub par food and a hefty bill. That being said- our waitress/bartender was fantastic! Super friendly, helpful and prompt! Great customer service! Wanted to order the 1/2 pound peel and eat shrimp, but the waitress advised that they are served with the heads on. That's a big "Nope" for me. Moving on, tried to order a frozen drink. Waitress advised that none of the servers have been taught how to use the commercial blender yet. So no frozen drinks available. Okkkkk then.... We then proceeded to order the 1) crab balls. Decent enough, but just 6 balls for $14 !!! 2) Spicy fried shrimp, but they weren't spicy, just the dollops of dipping sauce was $14 again. 3) Fried corn - 2 for $4.00, but was just a tough, tasteless frozen Cobette of corn with a weird caramel? Butter type of coating. Very tough and just odd. 4) The Tuesday Lunch Special - "Cajun Meatloaf with fries", fries were ok, but the meatloaf was a thin, dry slice of meatloaf, stress on the thin and very dry, with no gravy, just a shake of sone type of Cajun seasoning orange powder on top of the sad meatloaf. Finally, #5) The Caribbean quesadilla- just a flavor lacking lumpy, barely grilled chicken quesadilla, which needed more cheese to go with the bland, nursing home tasting chicken. Not sure what qualifies it as "Caribbean", because we couldn't taste of find it. The best thing? The small house salad.

Ok so. First we will never go back. We went and a group of our friend went. Friday night... only our table and another table of four. It took over an hour and a half to get our food. Cold and over cooked. Ridiculous. And the chef kept coming out and sitting at the bar to have a drink while we're waiting!!!

Start with the good: the oysters were good, fresh, just the right size. Drinks: had a margarita. And yuck, lots of sour, no tequila Had dip too yuck. Greasy, little taste Service was lacking too

Kari was amazing, attentive and knowledgeable. Not just with her bartending skills but also about the area. I am so grateful this place was open in early December during the off season as everything else appeared closed at 10:30 pm when I got off of work.

Went to a comedy show here. Owner is cool af, but whoever runs the mic is bad for business. He needs to learn how to talk on the mic and not deep throat it and maybe be actually funny. Shoulda talked to they boys in blue outside after his wife threw that chair. Won't be back...

4 Aug 2022 I travel a lot for work and pleasure this was rated 4 stars. We ordered raw oysters on half shell and peel and eat shrimp. The oysters were not cold. They were gritty. The peel and eat shrimp had no flavor. BEWARE they smoke inside the place. Our silverware was dirty. It was basically a rough biker bar!

May be a great place for smokers, but we drove 30 mins to check out the place of the good reviews. They advertise “non-smoking.” Since I’m allergic to smoke and don’t want to smell like it any way, I would not have wasted my time just to walk into a smoky atmosphere with people enjoying their cigarettes. Walked in, ordered a drink, sat outside to drink it and left. Such a disappointment. Please change your advertisements to “smoking allowed.” It’s important to those of us not wanting to be in a room with cigarettes.

The bartender was funny as hell and lifts the spirits of the patrons. She was very attentive when it came to an empty bottle of beer. I didn’t even have to ask because she was watching my beers and had another waiting. The shrimp was amazing

Excellent place to hang with the locals. Good food, great service and a good variety of adult beverages to choose from.
