We have lived in the area for 20 years and driven past it 1000s of times but never went until tonight...glad we did. Great wings and the pizza was surprisingly very tasty. Draft beer selection was nice and service was excellent - we will return.

Dang..Chicken sandwich was fully pink and raw and burger was equally raw. I had high hopes for this dive bar (I love dive bars) after seeing decently large crowds coming out the door the night before, but I just ordered take out and it was not something I would recommend. I will say the wings were great which thank god they were because the rest was inedible, but my pregnant wife was very much craving the blackened chicken sandwich and it was absolutely 100% raw it really did look like they rubbed it in seasoning and put it on the bun without cooking! Shocked I then decided I’d better cut my burger in half to take a look before digging in and it was equally 100% raw (I ordered medium rare)

Food was fine. Staff was very friendly. We stopped in after a concert. Thankfully, they were still open so we could grab a bite before getting back on the road. Nice beach bar/restaurant.

Food was delicious, Our service was good. Took a little bit to get all our food. Served it one or 2 lunches at a time with wait time in between. Our grandbabies felt it was loud inside. There is outdoor seating. We went on a Sunday. We had onion rings, burger, wings, chicken, and cheese quesadilla. No telling the issues we experienced were due to, but they handled it and we were happy and full when we left. Yum 😋

A loud ,more sports bar feeling place which is fine. But if you want a quiet evening this isn't the place for you. For food, we had a burger and the island (chicken sandwich). Both were good. My fries were a bit under cooked but they weren't horrible. Would definitely go back when in the area.

Had fried green tomatoes appetizer, was very good.

Main dish (blackened mahi mahi) was brought before even half done with appetizer. Was okay for what it is -- fish with a watered down glaze compensated with black pepper. Again, it was pretty good despite the description. Sides were okay.

Key Lime Pie for dessert was thicker than playdough and tasted chalky. There were chocolate sprinkle / shavings on it that made it even weirder.

Service was great, location was charming.

We were extremely disappointed with our dining experience. This restaurant came highly recommended as having the best chicken wings in town, so we were excited to give it a try. Unfortunately, the food did not live up to the hype.

Everything we ordered was overcooked, and in some cases, borderline burnt. The chicken wings were so tough and dry that I had difficulty tearing the meat off the bone—I even showed the waitress how hard they were. We also tried a few appetizers, but the quality was equally disappointing.

I ordered a pretzel, and it was so salty that it was practically inedible. For anyone with high blood pressure, I would strongly advise against ordering it. In fact, nearly every dish we tried was overly salty, which made the experience even more unpleasant.

Despite voicing our concerns, we were still given a full bill and ended up paying $78 for a meal that we could barely stomach. Most of it was left untouched—we tried boxing it up, but honestly, the food made us feel sick. This restaurant needs an inspection by restaurant inspectors. It was filthy. Im sure the food isnt safe.

We’re foodies who love exploring new restaurants and cuisines, especially American-style food, but this was far from what we’d consider quality. The food felt more like overly processed junk food than anything fresh or well-prepared. Sadly, we won’t be returning.

Every time I come here it’s great. I always get one of the two sisters. Simple food like wings/burgers but the drinks are strong but flavorful. The customer service is very friendly and quick

This place just delivers. No frills, just solid wings (extra extra crispy) and wonderful staff. That calamari was really good... Love those fried pepperoncini peppers.
