My takeout order was not ready on time which wasn’t the issue I don’t mind waiting for good food. Ordered smash burgers but they were not smashed and tots were way undercooked not even warm.

Blue Gill and Cod ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Highly recommend.

Very good food at very reasonable prices. Always great service. Worth a little drive time. Will be on our regular rotation.
