We were really hoping for a big salad with seafood. Nope….and only two choices of salad dressing on their side salads. The entire menu is fried, fried and overcooked. I ordered the shrimp kabobs and stuffed crab. The poor shrimp didn’t stand a chance..so overcooked that they were impossible to enjoy. The stuffed crab was mostly bread…..think the worst Thanksgiving dressing ever. I didn’t find a piece of crab. My companion ordered shrimp scampi…again, way overcooked. His fried shrimp was also overcooked. I will say that the coleslaw was very good. We took the cornbread and hush puppies home and fed them to the pigs.
I have to go on a diet after eating all that yummy food

I considered leaving one star but honestly my experience wasn't bad enough to make it lower than two. I order the fried stuffed crab dinner (cheapest menu item) ,and I'm sorry, but it was the worst tasting food I've ever ordered in my life. I'm not a crab connoisseur, but it didn't taste like it had crab in it, instead it tasted like it was just food from a waste disposal. I usually suck it up and eat anything regardless of how bad but I honestly couldn't stomach this. My wife's steak was also poorly flavored and hardly seasoned for the price (ribeye combo, $30.95) and the shrimp that came with it was overcooked, and one if not both of the items upset her stomach shortly after we got home. Everything else on the menu may be fine but I am hesitant to even consider taking the risk of going back. Again I'm sorry for the poor review if this is a rare mistake but it's what I experienced, everyone else enjoy what you like.

Early dinner with friends. We had reservations and were seated quickly. The waitress was prompt. The food was ok, but not great with limited selection. For example, they offered only 2 types of salad dressing.

I have visited this restaurant twice now - both times it was awful. The fish is greasy almost as if they do not drain the food before serving it. This is true for all their fried food. Shrimp were overcooked and rubbery, the sides left me wanting any other restaurant. Here's a tip, the best item they serve is their pickled onions - wow, so good. The other food is best left uneaten.
Always great food and service
