“Oh my. It’s Friday, so it’s time for fish and chips. I was surprised; the best fish and chips in Florida. I didn’t even have to ask for vinegar. Perfect. Great mushy peas and the chips were nice and crispy. The family loved the bee sting burger too. Great work team, it’s obvious you have spent a lot of effort making sure things are top quality.“

“1/3/25…in town for one night, never been here, never heard of this place, just decided to try it. Stopped in around 5:00. The host asked if we had a reservation, we did not. She said “I’ll work you in” and seated us immediately at the bar. The bruschetta was the bomb! The fried chicken was totally out of this world! The service was outstanding! A must go to place!“

The service was beyond amazing and the staff made us feel like family. I am usually extremely picky and always find at least one fault….i could not find one and this place. It makes me want to move to Florida. I can’t wait to go back!“
