I ordered a bacon cheeseburger. I was asked how I liked my burger cooked. I had requested for a medium rare cook, and received medium well cook Grey burger, no pink. It wasn't dry and tasted good, but not cooked properly. I informed the waitress, and she said she'd inform the cook. Nothing else came of it. No visits, no apology. I was having lunch with my boss and didn't have the luxury of sending it back and cooked properly due to time restriction. I was disappointed in how it was handled (or not) in this case. I had heard bragging on how good this place was, so I was excited to try it. Now, I don't know if I'll make the trip back to have the steak.

Kiara was amazing to us! She helped us with all of our questions and was so kind. If you ever happen to stop here I would 100% recommend the seafood stuffed mushrooms and the bourbon glazed salmon!

I was really let down by this restaurant. I will say, the staff was exceptionally friendly, kind, and accommodating. The restaurant has a beautiful view and a huge back porch. That’s the only good thing I have to say.

My margarita was disgustingly sweet, and even with some added limes, it was more like a jolly rancher than a margarita. We ordered fried pickle chips for appetizer, which were fine, albeit bland. For dinner we ordered the fried gulf shrimp with fried okra and Lima beans, the special pecan crusted triggerfish with green beans and spinach salad, and grilled shrimp and French fries for my toddler. I did not get the okra (I got hush puppies instead), my dad did not get the salad (it was forgotten and then they brought a Greek salad, and then finally a spinach salad), and my daughter got fried shrimp instead of grilled. The food took over an hour to arrive and almost half of it was incorrect, but with a toddler, we didn’t want to waste any time asking for them to correct it as we were already hot and hungry.

The food itself was all so bland and lackluster. The shrimp was fresh, but my daughter’s popcorn shrimp were undercooked. There was no flavor - no spice, no seasoning. The Lima beans did have a nice smoky taste and the hushpuppies were spicy, but beyond those two, there wasn’t any good flavor. My fried shrimp were soggy and oily. The French fries were mushy.

My family paid as fast as we could and left. This was our last night at the beach and it was just a big let down, food wise.

Amazing 👏 🤩

Family was over from Ocean Springs this weekend, so we did lunch at Tin Top this Monday to close the visit out. As always, it was amazing!

Got there about 11:45 and able to walk right in and be seated. It was a big muggy, so the group opted for inside this visit…but outside is always the best! Great views and with the covered patio and ceiling fans, that’s always my preference.

The table started with Oysters, of course. Went with The Dirty Dozen and the Sampler this time. As always, delicious.

Lunch choices today were Grilled Fish plate, Blackened Shrimp plate, Shrimp Poboy, and the Club sandwich. As always, portions were huge and food was excellent.

Best part of the whole meal was our server, Elizabeth! We eat out all over South Baldwin, and I’ll put her up against anyone at any restaurant. She is the perfect blend of southern sweetness and charm, with a quick wit that can keep the table laughing all day. She knows the menu & will never steer you wrong, and your glass will never be empty. Ask for her when you go, you’ll thank me!

Had the pleasure of sitting with Colin (I think that was his name). He was attentive, knowledgeable, and took great care of us. We will be back, and will be asking for him!

So good. Wife had oysters, I had a ribeye. We were both very pleased.

We went in on a Saturday in the middle of the afternoon. After a 20 minute wait to be seated and 10 minute wait for our waitress to arrive; it took over a hour for our food to show up. We were looking to fine the waitress to leave when the food came. We saw another table leave. Food was not anything to brag about about. We will not be returning.

We were told 80 min wait, only took 45. Our server was very attentive and the food was delicious. Will go again. Crab cake appetizers were delicious as were stuffed mushrooms.

Went there for our 20th anniversary. The lady who sat us never made eye contact with us. Waited for 10 minutes for the waitress. After that everything was excellent.

Food was amazing! Elizabeth was very knowledgeable!!! She knew the specials and menu from front to back. Funny, sweet, and very professional! Will most definitely be back!
