What a gem. Can't believe I've lived here this long and never knew it existed. Great food, atmosphere, and the kids loved the play area out back. I had lunch and dinner there yesterday!Parking: Main parking is small, but overspill is just next door. There are also docks for boat access just out back.Kid-friendliness: Great atmosphere for kids.

All I have to say is - don’t judge a book by its cover. The storefront may be unassuming but the inside and back are incredible. This may very well become our favorite restaurant on the northshore!The food was amazing, the service was friendly and quick, the pirate ship for the kids made for a peaceful experience for us as parents to enjoy our meal while keeping an eye on our little ones, and the atmosphere was overall incredible. The only adjustment we would have loved would be a safety fence to keep little toddlers safe from the dangerous dock/deep water.Will definitely visit again! Thanks for a great experience.

First time here for a girls' night. We shared 2 appetizers. I don't remember the official names, but one was the smoked tuna dip, and the other was the crawfish cheese dip. Both were excellent! Service was ok, I think we had a newbie, but she did fine! The atmosphere was great! The swing seats were awesome.

I loved that place until I went with my daughter for lunch. We received our bill of approximately $48 and when I got my credit card statement I had been charged twice. I went back to the restaurant and showed the manager my bill. He said “it was too late to reverse the charge but next time in he would by my group drinks.” We thought that was reasonable and agreed. We went with a small group and he would only give us one drink each (my daughter and myself). I was incensed and he said that was all he would do. Hence, I’ve never been back and I tell everyone I know not to go there because it’s run by a scammer.

Food was delicious! It was spicy, but so flavorful! I got the Baja shrimp tacos and my husband got the infamous shrimp po’ boy. We were both happy with the portion sizes and the quality of food. My I only complaint is that the Moscow mule was too small lol.

The drinks were great and worth it. The food was hit and miss. We got the Skipper dip, the shrimp tray and 2 kids meals. The kids' meals tasted great and all the food tasted fresh. Some aspects of the meal were underseasoned. The atmosphere was great and amenable to all ages. I would definitely go again, but I would definitely try something else on the food menu.
