Great experience! The food and service were both wonderful! They offer 4 covered outdoor tables (ceiling fans) if you're dining with your doggo (water bowl was offered). Big variety of food & alcoholic drinks are available. Public parking is located all around. They offer 3 table breads: wheat rolls, pumpkin bread, and jalapeno cornbread (so yummy). We tried the special of the day (baked white fish), tuna steak , crab cake app, & coconut shrimp app. Both main dishes were delightful! The crab cake was good and the coconut shrimp/ pineapple sauce was also good.

The food was delicious!! I had pot roast, mashed potatoes with gravy, cabbage and jalapeño cornbread. And peach cobbler to go. Ask for Natalie! She was awesome!!

The food is good, but pricing is a bit ridiculous. You can order a vegetable plate with 4 vegetables and the price is $18-19, over $4 for iced tea, add in the credit card charge, then the land trust charge, and you are paying $25 for 1 person. Oops, don’t forget the tip. You get the point.

This appears to be a standard Southern “meat and 3” but it is far from it! They are rightly proud of their crab cakes and She Crab Soup. Both were delicious! And the vegetable “sides” were also exceptional. I know it sounds crazy but the stewed tomatoes were the best I’ve ever had anywhere! This place is a local treasure! We’ll be back.
The service was great the food and portion sizes are phenomenal. We had the “loaded” onion rings, chicken fried steak and chicken fried chicken. Both were fried perfect and juicy. Gravy was thick and flavorful. Would definitely recommend and will try again if we make our way back down this way.

VERY RACIST MANAGER! 7/20/25. I was so looking forward to dinning my first time at this restaurant. I was with a party of 6, service was good until the end. The bill was paid, we left a NICE TIP for the server. We exited, the restaurant, stood out front and talked about 10min, then went to our vehicles. As we proceeded to leave, THE MANGER KNOCKED ON THE CAR WINDOW, WE ROLLED IT DOWN AND HE SAID.. THE SERVER SAID YOU GUYS "DID NOT" LEAVE A TIP!!!! A YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME??? YOU WAITED UNTIL WE GOT IN OUR CAR TO LEAVE, AND CAR TO LEAVE TO APPROACH US, AFTER WE STOOD OUT FRONT AN ADDITIONAL 10MIN TALKING. I SAID TO HIM WE ABSOLUTELY LEFT A TIP, A NICE TIP AT THAT. HE PROCEEDED TO SAY, WELL DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT. NO, IM GOING TO WORRY ABOUT IT BECAUSE YOU CAME ALL THE WAY OUT TO OUR CAR AND MADE THAT STATEMENT. I BET HE DIDN'T THINK WE WOULD COME BACK IN THE RESTAURANT TO ADDRESS IT. EVEN THE ONES THAT HAD ALREADY LEFT THE RESTAURANT, TURNED AROUND AND CANE BK. I ASKED TO SPEAK TO THE SERVER AND THE PETSON THAT BUSTED THE TABLE BECAUSE THERE IS NO WAYBYOU DIDN'T SEE THAT TIP WHEN THE SERVER HAD ALREADY CLEARED THE PLATES OFF THE TABLE. IT WAS ONLY OUR DRINKING GLASSES AND THE TIP LEFTED ON THE TABLE. SO WHY NOT APPROACH US WHILE WE WERE STANDING IN FRONT OF THE RESTAURANT AN ADDITIONAL 10MIN. BETTER YET, WHY APPROACH US AT ALL( THE ONLY PEOPLE OF COLOR, THAT WAS IN THE ENTIRE RESTAURANT) ??????? WE ARE CHRISTIANS AND WE WOULD NEVER EVER GO TO AN ESTABLISHMENT AND RECEIVE SERVICE AND NOT LEAVE A TIP. EVEN IF THE SERVICE WAS BAD, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A CONVERSATION HAD. THE FACT THAT THEY LIE, STOLE THE TIP, EMBARRASSED US, GOD WILL DEAL WITH ALL PARTIES INVOLVED. I HATE MY FIRST EXPERIENCE WAS LIKE THIS, BECAUSE THE FOOD AND THE SERVER WAS ACTUALLY GOOD. BUT I WILL NEVER AGAIN GO THERE. AND I WILL CONTINUE TO SHARE WHAT HAPPENED UNTIL PEOPLE BEGAN TO TREAT EVERYONE THE SAME, REGARDLESS OF COLOR!!!!!
They helped me convince my daughter to try new cuisine/ food.
She loves the grilled tuna. She was also nice enough to save me some of my own darn food!
Her smile was priceless. The she crab soup and house made onion rings held me over. 🤌🏿
