Unique was an old ice house. Order at the counter and find an outside seat. Known for boiled shrimp.

A mainstay when we visit the area. A "no-frills" establishment that offers local catches and cold beer. What's not to like? They do cash only, so plan ahead, but there's an ATM onsite if needed.

One of a kind! Delicious, reasonably priced food in a casual waterside setting. The boiled shrimp were perfectly cooked and super flavorful. The ribeye was also unexpectedly good. Will be heading back as soon as possible!

First off the food is good. However there was a staff member who came out at the end who was very rude. We came in on boat and had our water cups with us, he about lost his lid outside. I understand this place makes their money on alcohol sales but I have a 5 year old with me who is drinking water and honestly water from any establishment lines doesn’t always taste the best. He brought us a different water but made a much larger deal than was required. We didn’t make a fuss and removed the cups. The entire outdoor seating area witnessed him yelling. We bought other drinks and lots of food.

It was okay here, but also quite chaotic. Not clear for a first timer what to do, which line etc. Not great if by self as can’t have someone grab a table whilst you wait and can tell them when order where you sitting. Food was fine and a good price I suppose but a long wait. All things considered probably wouldn’t bother unless already in area. It was authentic, very popular, good portions for price so giving it a good review for that - 3.5 stars.

Great food as always. Get your order figured out in advance, send one person to place the order and get the drinks while your party finds a seat. They get very busy.

As an environment friendly person I would recommend going somewhere else to eat, everything is plastic or Styrofoam. Plastic eating utensils plastic cups plastic straws, Styrofoam to go boxes which they use as your plate. As someone trying to reduce plastic and protect the environment this is a big step in the wrong direction they are part of the plastic pollution not the solution. And the service was slow and I ordered the tilapia which was spicy, and as someone who doesn't like spicy food this is a red flag.

Can't go wrong with the food here...the shrimp and the crablegs are great and the buckets of drinks are the way to go. Live this place. The only thing bad are the no-see-ums. Bring bug spray!

First time visiting and wasn’t impressed. When you first arrive parking is a nightmare. I ended up parking across the street. When you walk into the restaurant there's no one to seat you, there’s no sign up front that tells you that you have to stand in this long line going out the door at the back of the building to order your food which is located at the bar with one person working a register. Waited in line a good 40 mins, very small selection on menu, waited another 30 mins for our food. I ordered the crab claws which didn’t come with the correct utensils. When I asked the waiter he stated the owner wouldn’t buy anymore because customers would steal them or they’d get thrown away. I struggled with the crab claws the entire dinner and it definitely wasn’t a fun experience. I just can’t believe when you spend over $120 for food and drinks that you can’t get good service or the proper utensils to eat your food. I found the waiter and everyone we came in contact with at the restaurant to be very rude with the patrons. Would definitely not recommend the food or service at this restaurant.

The most unassuming place you will find. My father in law brought me there (he lives somewhat close) and by the outside I was hesitant. It just looks old and run down. Get inside (cash only also beer and wine only), he had raved about the steamed fresh shrimp with Old Bay Seasoning and it did not disappoint!! WOW! A meal in itself. Some COLD beer and nice views. I definitely recommend it. We went during a storm and stayed dry inside. There is great outdoor seating on a sunny day. I also had the clam chowder and while it wasn’t bad, it was not something I would go there for. But the shrimp, yes I will be back! So 4 stars due to the chower. Go try this gem!

You need CASH only. Seafood place but awesome seafood. Limited menu always a line to get food. You have to go up to the bar/counter to get your own food. Great local place.
