Go here all the time. Food is great, so is the service. 5 stars!

Went for the dollar oysters, expecting small, less desirable variety. They served large, meaty, delicious oysters. They looked like Duxbury Blondes to me! I'll be back for sure.

Terrible! Made a reservation two days Ahead and confirmed via text only to arrive to a note on the door saying they Were closed for a private event. Plenty of seats and a completely empty patio but they would not seat us. The manager wouldn’t even come out to speak to us after we waited 15 minutes saying she was “in a meeting.” Never again.

The food here is very good, comforting, flavorful. Drinks are delicious! The service was a little slow this last time, but friendly.

The food here is the best around a 30min drive window. However the service here is under par. I like to order online ahead so my food is ready when I arrive. I tried to place an online order today and it says open May 27th. I called and someone picked up and asked me to hold on for a moment, okay no problem. This moment turned into 40mins on hold and still no answer to place an order. I had my wife call on her phone and the same guy told her to hold a minute. We waited and waited still on hold for 30mins on that phone and no answer.
The service here needs to be replaced

If zero is a rating it be to high
Service is terrible, cant tell you about the food since we never received any. Took our order and then canceled it 5 mins before it's arrival . Told me id get my refund in 5 days???? What about the 5 workers that now get to watch everyone els eat lunch since there is no time left in there scheduled lunch to go anywhere else.
Order was cancelled so the could focus on a private parties business over a company lucnch order . Rude could care less attitude . We have 30 employees eat out every day , send clients out to lunch while they wait and will make sure we never give a penny of business there !
Just another example of an hourly employee ruining relationships of local businesses.

Great food good service. Little loud

Got the nachos as an appetizer, and between me and the other person in my party, we ate less than half as our whole dinner. Great prices, attentive waitstaff, but a little bit loud

Manager screamed and cursed at customers. Couldn’t believe my eyes.

Ben Rit

Horrible service. Couldn’t be more rude. Went out of way to make it a memorably bad experience.

Wonderful food 😋

The staff was delightful, pizza fantastic, we did receive our burger slightly undercooked from what was expected and the staff and manager were EXTREMELY responsive. We were not even upset and they still took it off the bill to ensure our satisfaction. Will be back

Only second time here. Bartender was great so I’ll start with that. As far as the food… appetizer of nachos was sent without an ingredient (roasted jalapeños) listed on the menu. Sent back only to return with slimy Jalapeños from a jar and missing a different ingredient (pico de gallo). Wings so dry. And there were only 2 people in the restaurant so kitchen was not busy. WOW.

We arrived for a slightly later dinner and were seated promptly. The service was quick, capable, and friendly. And, of course, the food was wonderful.

We had high hopes for this restaurant. Unfortunately, we did not have a great experience. Please note that we are not picky people and we have worked in restaurants as servers before, so we understand that things don’t always go perfect and we are not just complaining for the heck of it.
First of all, the quality of the food was just really bad. The shrimp tacos and the cod risotto were inedible. The appetizers were subpar as well. One of our beers was only three-quarter full because the keg kicked but we were charged for a full beer:not offered something else.
Also, the server seemed to be very confused about a lot of things on the menu. Did he have any training…? He couldn’t tell us the salad dressings they had. He offered us a kids menu, but then came back and advised us that he did not have a kids menu available, and that kids meals did not come with a side.
The bill was $200 for four plus a toddler. We understand that things are more expensive these days and we’d be happy to pay that at a place with high-quality food, but being that every single thing we ate felt like it came from a freezer, it was just ridiculously high priced.
We also did not mention anything while we were there because we were just trying to have a nice time out and we also know that sometimes online reviews hold more weight with management than just one off complaints at the restaurant looking for a discount. We really hope this place can figure things out because we would love to have another great restaurant option in this area!
