For 7:30 pm on a Saturday night, I was expecting a crowd. But only 4 patrons. Now I know why. The staff acted like we were aliens because we ordered, food. I guess it is a place to get drunk. Food was terrible. Grilled fish and shrimp was raw. Hamburger staek was Salisbury frozen steak with can gravy. Stuffed grouper was ok at best. With drinks was $140 for 3 people. No appetizers, deserts, or mixed drinks. Never will we go back. The place across the street, I don't know the name because we are tourists here, was packed. Probably should have ate there. The building looked like a 6 th grade shop class built it.

Stopped by with a party of 8, the restaurant was not that busy, no one acknowledged we were there. A customer sitting at the bar cleaned a table off, when we went to the bar to order drinks the bar tender told us she “normally doesn’t serve that table”. We waited and no one came to serve us, we left without eating and no recognition. I’ll not be back.

Decent food and service, a little on the pricey side but to be expected in the area. The servers were nice and the seafood was all really great. I would recommend the seafood over other menu items, especially the shrimp.

Recommended dishes: Fried Captains Seafood Platter for 2

For one I ordered a captain’s platter for one and for the price of 32.00, I didn’t feel like the amount of food received warranted that kind of price. My sister ordered a basket and basically got the same amount of food and yet it was $18 but mine was $32 I guess bcuz it had the word “captain “ in the name. On the menu it said that it comes with fries and deviled crab. When the meal arrived the fries were potato chips. There was no deviled crab, just 2 small crab balls no bigger than the hush puppies and they didn’t taste very well either. What a disappointment! If you advertise fries and spuds on your menu make sure you give the customers the real thing instead of homemade potato chips. That is so misleading. And give the customers their money’s worth on the platters

Seafood was superb. Bake potatoes were strangely overcooked or something. Although not real busy, the serve team was not heavily attentive.

I didn’t feel like cooking so my kids and I ordered take out (we got a variety of foods)! They were quick to get my order prepared, very nice, and the food was absolutely delicious!! The steak bites are a new family favorite! I can’t recommend them enough!

This is more like a bar with a restaurant instead of a restaurant with a bar. The food was ok and the servers seemed overworked and understaffed. I'd honestly say that for the price, you should go to one of the other great restaurants in the area. If you're looking for a bar with decent food and a good atmosphere than this would be a good place for you.

I can’t get down to South Georgia without hitting this gem. Staff is like family, food is killer, and the tunes get better and better over time. A must stop, must eat.
