“We went to Sam’s Beach Bar today and I got the Grouper Fingers basket. It was excellent! 5 large fingers with very crispy breading. It was so good my husband decided to order the same thing to go for his dinner. I opened up his container and was shocked. 2 small fingers with mushy white meat and instead of a crispy breading it looked like it was battered. Neither the breading nor the meat tasted the same. Very disappointed. I love Sam’s Beach bar but I will have a hard time getting my husband to go back.“

“Grilled options are amazing love the cat fish and lobster rolls“

“I went to Brian’s Place for the 1st time Tuesday night and brought my sister and brother-in-law who were visiting from Virginia. What a wonderful dining experience. We were met and welcomed with a warm friendly smile and we’re seated immediately. Jamie was an awesome waitress and encouraged us to try a couple of the specials. We were not disappointed. The meal was incredible…. Kudos to Chef Brian. I will definitely be back and will bring others with me. It was definitely a unique and wonderful dining experience.“

“I stopped in after getting my equine supplies nearby. Every once in a while I get hooked on fish. This, was one of those days. I got the 2 piece fish dinner, with slaw and hush puppies. No problems, everything was good, as usual. What did bother me? When my order was ready, even though I was a 'dine-in' customer, they handed me a plastic bag with a paper box inside and tons of napkins. A WHOLE lot of PAPER to throw away after I walk 7 feet to dine at a table! (I get the premise, Covid and all, but our planet is paying the price now, too!) On top of that, you now have to ask for ketchup and other condiments, again due to Covid they do not have those condiment pumps active anymore. I asked for ketchup and tartar sauce, which come in those little plastic packets. (Now, we're using MORE plastics, too! Poor Mother Earth!) You know? In theory, those little packets of condiments 'should' be a safer alternative to the pumps.....BUT, figure in that these packets get handled alot, by probably multiple people and that safety factor decreases. The person who took my order and HANDLED my debit card is also the same one who grabbed a handful of packets and put them in my food bag. ALL the while wearing gloves, for safety. The same pair of gloves. WHY does that MATTER, you may ask? Have you ever had problems opening one of those plastic packets? You tug and tear but no luck. Normally, you might be tempted to bite it open. BUT, IF you DO, you are putting anything that was on the staff's hands into your MOUTH! THEN, once you DO GET it OPEN, you squeeze the packet like toothpaste, and what usually happens? It's darn near impossible to get the contents out without them oozing over and around the torn opening you created to get at them! ONCE AGAIN, you just CONTAMINATED your condiments with any soiled matter that was lurking on the plastic! There MUST be ANOTHER way! A way to stay safe, while trying to stay ecologically friendlier... I've included pictures....of the pile of paper AND of the condiment conundrum! Stay healthy and stay safe!“
