We would honestly go back just for the fish & chips alone. Don't order the oysters. They all had shells/grit and weren't released from the shell so that was a bit of a mess to eat. Never had oysters come so hard to eat. This visit was saved by the fish & chips. Only major complaint was being turned away today with the excuse of "I think we're only doing reservations for Mother's Day?" like it was a question. Idk are you? It isn't posted anywhere on the website or Facebook. So, we couldn't have known as I stood there, a mother with three children next to me haha not a great feeling. Plenty of empty outdoor tables with no one seemingly waiting and we know they offer a limited menu downstairs outside which I would've happily taken, but wasn't offered.

It's a beautiful space on the waterfront. The view is amazing! The server was very sweet and she had the most beautiful eyes (Madalyn), very attentive. The food was eh...nice live band. My shrimp on the shrimp basket was way too salty

Website says Friday happy hour 3 to 6. $1.00 oysters (very good) $2.00 drafts and 50% off select appetizers. Well I didn't get my $2.00 drafts after asking about them. When the bill came I get a lame ass excuse. The Shrimp Tacos were ok. I am glad I didn't order another draft at 5:45. I won't be making plans again. I would try again only if convenient.

The place is beautiful but the food is not good, my butter has a hole in the bottom (?), the syrup container dirty and sticky, the potatoes saggy to much salt and black pepper. The service no deserve more than 5% but we give 20% trying to be nice, BUT FOR SURE NEVER visit that restaurant again.

I'll give a 3 star because it wasn't totally horrible but we were so disappointed tonight. We came here about 2 weeks ago for the first time and had the best boil bag seafood dinner we've ever had. Loved it so much we invited another couple to come back with us tonight because we raved about it. We both got appetizers awaiting our combos for 2 boil bags. After waiting a long time we literally had seafood served to us that was so full of seasoning it burned our mouths the whole time we ate. I feel like whoever prepared the bag almost made it a point to put too much seasoning in it. It was piled in the bag. I was so embarrassed that I brought guests. Then we ran into some other friends there too and they said the exact same thing. It really kinda sucked ? really wasn't a great second experience for $120 per couple..... bummed to saY the least.

Though, the atmosphere is beautiful. The service is absolutely terrible. We went to dinner at 7:45, it was not until 8:50 until we got a part of our food. We ordered wings, fries, and crab boil. We only received our wings. We saw numerous tables who came in and ordered after receive food even a table of 10. We discussed the issue with the manager and he offered no substantial response or solution for the lackluster service despite being not busy for a Thursday evening.

Great food , the fish sandwich, and hushpuppies are without peer. The atmosphere and view is spectacular. My server gets an A for effort and a B- for execution. The young blond petite bartender definitely suffers from permanent bi+c# face. It's clear she has always been attractive and has not had to develop a personality or social skills to go along with her looks. When her looks fade she will ve working the day shift at the VFW pouring whiskey and coke or Pabst draft.

We ended up going here on a Wednesday night with no reservation and was able to be seated immediately. We went further all you can eat crabs for $49 a person and pictured below is a picture of what the tree looks like when it comes out. Crab legs, shrimp, corn, and a potato. After the first tray, I only got crab legs, and shrimp. The shrimp were huge! The crab legs were also huge and very fresh. For my drink, I got a Shirley Temple with ginger ale. When they say all you can eat, they mean all you can eat! We usually get too full around the fourth tray. I had to stop eating the shrimp because they were so big and just try to finish up my last tray of crab legs. The view is nice. It sits right on the water, so going when the sunsets or on a beautiful day they have the doors open, and you can feel the breeze. Even in the winter you can eat outside on the heated patio that's enclosed. Some nights that even have live music.

This was my first time eating at Holy Mackerel it was so amazing. I ate so many crab legs. My Server was Lisa Marie and she was amazing. Thanks for the great service.
