Great place to watch football. Wings are meaty, big and at a great price. Service was a little slow sitting at the bar but wasn't the worst

Kinda weird taco fillings (carne taco is made like fish taco toppings) but great menu with a variety of options. Beer could be colder.

It's a decent spot to grab a quick bite to eat. Nothing bad but nothing special about it either.

While spending the day on the beach, we had Pillbox recommended to us, so we ordered it to go. It was Saturday during Labor Day weekend, but we were able to call and place an order without any issues. The wait time for our food wasn't very long either! Was very impressed.

We tried the All Day Burrito and Blackened Chicken Club. Both were massive portions! They were equally as delicious! I ordered the tots with my Club sandwich and liked those too. However, the sandwich stole the show. Would definitely order that again! Cannot recommend enough.

If you're in the area, you gotta give this place a shot. Delicious food with huge portions. Great service all around as well from the staff, especially during a busy holiday weekend. You won't be disappointed!

Waited food for 45 minutes. Tall waitress never checked on us. She was checking other tables asking people how they are doing but never ask or wondered why we are the only table without the food.
We asked for water while we were waiting and she didn’t bring it.
Finally, we ask different waiter if he can check on the food. Turns out the food was never ordered.
Ignoring our table was very obvious and very disheartening. Hard to comprehend. Unfortunately, will not be coming back.

The customer service was great! They were friendly and prompt. All the food was good except the fries. The fries were too greasy and the inside of the fries were hollow.

Small place with good food but poor service. I think there were only 2 servers. We had to ask multiple times for straws, sauces, the bill, etc.

Vegetarian options: Veggie quesadillia was very good!

The food is excellent, and the Tortilla soup is especially outstanding. The atmosphere is friendly, and they offer cold beer.
