A little hidden gem nestled off deep in Colombiana. Don't pass through without trying this place. They may have some live music on the weekend, libations, some good seafood..and more. The service is not slow the food is good the price is right what else could you even ask for...? If you're not local It don't matter... The Local is for everybody.

Excellent food every time I’ve been!

We drove 30 minutes to try this restaurant because I was told it was fantastic. There were only two waitresses there that night and we knew that because it was the first thing she said when she walked up. She was in a horrible mood which was understandable since most of the tables were full so we didn't expect a lot. Multiple times when we asked questions about the menu or which drinks were available, she looked at us with a disgusted face and made us feel like she wished we weren't even there. The food was not good. I will never be back here.

Not the greatest but not the worst. Expensive for what you get.

Great little seafood restaurant, live entertainment on Fri & Sat nights, daily food specials, good selection of draft beers, plenty of bottled beer. Bartender/manager can whip up any cocktail you'd like.

Only 5 shrimp in my coconut shrimp basket, they were average size so I expected at least 8. The fries were very good. It was very loud because of the number of people in the small building. When we arrived there were 3 tables with no people, 2 had not been cleared yet and it was another 15 minutes before it was done. It took 35 minutes for our food to arrive one it was ordered. Okay for a Friday night.v

Food is good, especially the oysters. I’ve only ever seen one waitress and who I would assume is the manager/owner, both are nice. Drinks are good as well.

Great food and cold drinks.

Fried okra was good and generous portion. Fish was 50/50 meat/breading, took a long time order 'til table and it wasn't that busy.

We had lunch there recently and were disappointed with the experience. The fish was mushy and lacked texture. My partner ordered a hamburger all the way, hold the ketchup. It took a long time to get our food (3 tables were already seated and 2-3 folks were at the bar). What he got was literally a patty and a bun πŸ˜…. She had to go back and get the rest, and they don't have pickles. Who doesn’t have pickles??? The portion was ample but the meat was dry, like it had been reheated. I really wanted to have a place to grab lunch in Columbiana but I can't see coming back. Getting napkins and refills took ages, the server was very kind but I don't think she's been trained.

The OLD owners really did not understand the Local mentality (nor social customs).
NOW, this place is on fire! Great seafood. Great service. Good prices. What more do you want? Oh yeh, super friendly and when the weather is nice, there is a great, covered patio. And I love that their lunch is so fast!
