I will always support this business. Y'all complaining about a mask, but if other restaurants did the same less people would be sick. Thank you for protecting my health and yours Sir.

Kids shared the crab platter and there was nothing left. Brisket was amazing as well! Hands down the best dinner I've had on Port Canaveral so far! Cupcakes and desserts, best German chocolate cupcake! If we are ever this way again, I'll be sure we stop here for dinner again!“

“TL;DR - Great food/service and high prices.I'll start off with the good, and there's a lot of that -Best brisket sandwich I've ever had. Had the one with fried jalapeños on it. Was seriously good. Hand breaded jalapeños and perfectly cooked brisket and bacon on an excellent roll. 3 homemade and really tasty BBQ sauces to top it off with.Best hush puppies I've ever had. Crispy on the outside, soft and flavorful on the inside.Good fries, good catfish, good sausage.Excellent service. Young lady running the front was a real pleasure to deal with. Some of the best service we've gotten anywhere in a long time.The bad - PRICES.$7 for 7 hushpuppies. Dollar each. $18 for a brisket sandwich, no side, not even a pickle. $18 for BBQ platter that came with 2 thin, dry slices of turkey that couldn't have weighed more than 2oz. 3 small chunks of sausage. And $1 upcharged catfish filet. $18 for a single deli sandwich, no side, no pickle.I enjoy good food all over the state of Florida and have absolutely no problem spending money for it. That said, while the food was good, I did not feel like I got my money's worth. 70 dollar meal for 2 adults and 2 kids, we left hungry.“

“Food was good. Our streaks were well-prepared. Firecracker Shrimp (appetizer) actually had a LOT of shrimp! The chocolate cake we had was very, VERY good. Service - at the front desk and wait staff - was friendly and personable. Overall, recommended!“

“This is our go to place for dining. The prices are great, and the food is even better.“
