Excellent customer service and atmosphere!Me and family walked in and got served by Alyssa and she was AWESOME. She was patient with us as we were very indecisive because they have a big menu and so many good things to pick from! It was my daughters late bday celebration and she was so sweet and paid for my daughters plate. THANK YOU so much Alyssa. You are the best. We will be back soon. Highly recommend this place.

Long wait. Hamburger too burnt, even though out we asked for medium done. Patty melt tasted bland, sea food platter was scanty and shrimp not fresh. Place is short staffed. Things can improve when they hire more people.

For starters, if you want to have a good lunch, breakfast or dinner, this is a place you should NEVER go too when on the pier. We waited 30 minutes for a server to get our order. It took them 45 minutes to make the food. And when the food was brought out, it looked frozen and not edible and the steak looked horrible. We asked for the check and waited 25 minutes for them to bring it out. also, to finish the story the glass of wine I ordered was brought after the food. HORRIBLE STAY AWAY.

We waited for a waitress for 30 mins and then for food for 40 mins. Then for the check for 20 mins. The food was bad. Especially the steak - it was horrible.

We ate dinner here on Nov 17, 2023 and it was horrible. We had Coconut Shrimp and Fish Tacos and both were bad. The Shrimp was over cooked and tasted like it was cooked in old oil. The Fish tacos were in old tortillas and hardly any fish. Don't eat here. Waste of money.

We go here often for the chowder. It is the off season and we got there at 2. Posted hours were 3 to 8 so we walked the boardwalk and returned at 3 only to be informed that they weren't opening today. What a disappointment. They could have put up a note.
