“My husband and I went to Admiral's to celebrate our 38th anniversary.Everyone from the host at the front door who took our reservation to all the servers who waited on us were very friendly and accommodating.Big shout out to Shannon our main server she was excellent, friendly, knowledgeable, and patiently answered all of our questions, which was a lot, since it was our first time eating there.The ambience is so inviting and beautiful, it is the perfect place for celebrating any occasion.Now for the food!Everything we ordered was delicious, seasoned to perfection, hot, and came out in a timely manner which I love!Loved their complimentary assorted bread basket with 3 different spreads. Our favorite bread was the jalapeno cheddar cheese called the "innocent bystander" and the maple butter spread. They were so good hubby ordered a basket of just those to take home. The first bread basket is free, but you pay for the next one, which we didn't mind because they were just that good! ?For appetizers I had the table side caesar salad, so delicious hubby had the lollipop lamb chops.For our entrees I had the lollipop lamb chops (oh my goodness)!! beer battered onion rings (the best I've ever had), and sweet potato praline,It tasted just like my sweet potato souffle, absolutely delicious!Hubby had the entree sized lamb chops, crab cake, and lobster mac&cheese. We didn't have any room for dessert, but if I did it would have been their key lime pie!Our experience at Admiral's was outstanding.If I had one little critique, it was that the bathrooms are outside of the restaurant like at the movies.Other than that we say BRAVO!??Y'all have got to give this place a try!! You can thank me later ??“

“Went for a friend's birthday and it was my first time going to a bar. All the workers were extremely helpful and came over multiple times to refill water or to ask if I needed anything. At one point I walked around trying to find somewhere to make a quick call but was too nervous to ask anyone for help — one of the workers (not sure his name) came up to me and asked if I was looking for something and directed me to a quiet place.Atmosphere was welcoming and fun. Drinks and food were tasty. Great little place!!“

“Great place for a night out! Our server was very nice and made sure to keep tabs on us and our food. When we got our food it was very hot! We got the crab dip and the basket of sweet potato fries. Definitely recommend both! They came out in a timely manner and were super flavorful. The crab dip wasn't overly crabby, and the sweet potato fries were reasonably sweet, they were a bit of a tad small amount though, definitely recommend getting two trays for four people. Will probably be back to try their fish and chips!“

“Great food, amazing staff, and good drinks! Best bang for your buck in Olde Towne for sure. Definitely a local's favorite and the Wednesday burger deal is almost unreal! $6.50 for Baron's burger & it comes with fries!!! Can't even get a fast food combo for that price anymore!“
