I truly enjoyed my lunch here with a friend. Jessica, our server, was top notch. She was friendly, patient and gave good feedback back. Restaurant was a little quiet but I could see it was going to get busy. The atmosphere was pleasant. There were TVs playing sports for those enthusiasts. Definitely will go back and ask for Jessica. I had the wedge salad and cup of chowder. My friend had lobster rolls, coleslaw and onion rings. We were very happy with the food.
I visited Lefty’s for a buck a shuck. Lilly was fantastic. The service was great, and the oysters were amazing.
Love sitting on the patio, listening to live music enjoying a shrimp po boy
