Food was good but I don't recommend the mixed drinks. Two sips and nothing but ice for $10. Learned my lesson once, drank beer.

Great crab cakes (could have had a bit more broil and crunch on outside but flavor and texture of inside was ?). Quick service, yummy hush puppies, coleslaw, and fries. A great local spot that is always busy and everyone knows each other. Worth swinging by for quality seafood if in the area!!

Fresh seafood, great service, and reasonable prices. The owners are involved in day to day operations and ensure a great experience. Fresh Market for seafood, salads, and desserts. A full kitchen menu featuring seafood and landlubber entrees. A bar with cold beer and fun cocktails. A market for seasonings and gift items. Great merchandise!

Small in size but amazing in every other way. Super friendly staff. Quick service. Cold beverages. Hot food. And the flavor...ah the flavor was directly on point. Our party had steamed shrimp with a side of hush puppies and a crab cake basket! The crab cake was chock full of crab meat, lightly fried to a thin crispy outside layer. The hush puppies were hot and tasty with butter. The shrimp were hot and peeled easily and were dipped in butter, an awesome combo! If you are on the fence about giving this place a shot ...GET OFF and try it!!! You will NOT be disappointed!!!

Ordered takeout. Food was ready and waiting when I arrived. Order was correct. I was greeted with a smile. My mom got a bowl of the she crab soup, it was loaded with crab and she enjoyed it very much. I ordered the fried platter with a choice of crab cake, scallops, shrimp, coleslaw and waffle sweet potato fries. It also came with hush puppies. Everything was cooked nicely and the batter was light and tasty so the flavor of the seafood came through. We will be back.

I decided to try this place on a trip from out of state. Went in prior to dinner to see the layout and ask about specials since this is a market and restaurant. Came back for an early dinner with high expectations. The atmosphere is great as a seafood restaurant should be. The menu is extensive and has enough for the whole family. Service was prompt and seemed to be smooth. Or so I thought. I was surprised that the appetizer was completely missed and not delivered. Worst then that one in our party their meal was wrong not just once but twice. To top it off for a restaurant to say fresh crab cakes that was laughable. Puck pressed, no lump meat, no old bay, mushy probably frozen is just not a thing. Too bad I thought this was going to be a great place. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else.

Awesome place! Bar, restaurant, and you can even grab fresh fish to go. The she crab soup is perfect, too!

We went in early Friday for our anniversary as we were visiting the area. Service was spot on and food was delish! Mussels appetizer was my fav. Try the crab cake! Cheesecake was sooo good! The owners were lovely! Wish you best of luck! Don’t forget about 101 on main if you get to Blackstone!
