The crabs were fair at best. They do not do free refills on drinks, soda is over $3.00 profit margin is huge. if you have more than 5 people they automatically put the tip on your bill and you only get one check, they will not bill separately. The waitress was very nice and good service, but because of the rest and being a local down here, we won't be back.

Are server was great and made sure that we had everything we needed. Ribs were fall off the bone tender and sauced perfectly and the sea scallop platter was cooked just right and a good size portion as well. Will definitely be back

One of the better places in OC for crab cakes. Not much in the way of atmosphere, but so what? And the prices are much more reasonable than some other local restaurants. So don't judge a book by it's cover. I hit PGN every trip to OC!Update: Went to OC in September. Went to PGN for dinner. Lump crab cakes were not very lumpy at all. Probably using a cheaper crab supplier. That being said, the crab cakes are ok, not good or great.

The service was fantastic! And the French fries were the best we've found in OC so far! The cheesesteaks were ok, nothing special. But the cheeseburgers were quite good. And the Cole slaw was great! Would recommend ?

The waitress was attentive and friendly, but that was the only good thing about this place. The food was ridiculously overpriced for the type of venue it is. It has a small diner feel, with fine dining prices. The food doesn't warrant the price they charge, since it is mediocre, run of the mill food. They don't have a lot of variety, and a plain fried chicken meal is over $30.00, and it serves one person. They offer all you can eat crabs but they are very expensive and the menu clearly states that they don't allow sharing. The atmosphere, at least when I visited, on the off season, was not very friendly. There were a group of tipsy locals, older women, that were pretty loud and crass. Not great for a relaxing meal experience. Overall, not a good fit for me.

I ordered the seafood platter as take-out and half of the plate was just fried bread with no seafood inside. I live a little farther out so I wasn't going to drive all the way back, but this was very disappointing.I paid $40 for sub-par fried bread. Will not be going back.
Great deal for AYCE crabs in OCMD! Everything was cooked perfectly and the service was impeccable

If i could rate this place 0 stars i would. I am 26 years old and had my ID accused of it being fake because the “picture didn’t look like me” The other coworkers were telling her that it was me and she still would not let me use it. We asked for a different server and she claimed that no one wanted to serve us. They are incredibly rude and ignorant. They treated me like I was a child and embarrassed me in front of the entire restaurant claiming i was underage LIKE I SAID I AM 26 YEARS OLD. DO NOT GO HERE! Extremely unprofessional. I am still very heated about being treated like a child. She told me “you need to go get a new picture then” Her coworkers were telling her it was CLEARLY me. She said “you don’t have freckles in your ID” MAAM THIS WAS TAKEN IN THE WINTER AND I AM AT THE BEACH I HAVE FRECKLES BECAUSE OF THE SUN! AND I BARELY HAD MAKEUP ON?! i obviously did my makeup for my ID picture. you should know this living here right? but no. i had multiple forms of identification she refused to use them. She was truly the rudest human i’ve ever experienced. The people sitting next to us even exclaimed how messed up it was to do that and i clearly am over age. I think she is just bitter unfortunately which is why if you want a nice dining experience do not choose here. VERY unorganized. When i asked to speak to a manager they all just looked at me.

First time in the area, and the food was amazing. Our server was very attentive to us and never left for too long without checking on us. I'm looking forward to going again.

So we walked in at 9:05pm and they told us they closed at 10. Website says 11. A few minutes later some more people walked in and they said they close at 10:30. So what is it. That's bad for business. Food was good. Restaurant needs cleaned up.

What a terrible mannered people. It says on Google they close at 11. We got there at 930 everything seemed fine. We got 1 pound crab leg it was real skimpy and dry for 33 dollars. We ordered 2 fried seafood platters. Then all of a sudden at 955 the whole crew 10+ started rushing to clean up and close and literally rushed us out the door. Also he changed my bill from 119 to 127 when I checked out. Absolutely a grimey place and management!!!!
