Surprised at how good the food was and the portions! Friendly staff. 1st time customer... will be back to try the crabs with some family and friends. The pretzel and crab appetizer was delicious! I had crab cakes (lots of crab) and my BIL had the Chesapeake burger... he said his was really good as well.

The crab was great and had a lot of meat inside it. But my shrimp was not done all the way. Other than that it was good.

Was ther recently for a birthday celebration! It use to be AMAZING! Not so much now.:I was recently there to celebrate my sister's birthday. We have been there many times and the quality and portions have been amazing. Not so much this time! Sadly...The crab pretzels were cold and the dip was runny and the small portion of cheese dip was also cold.My daughter got the AYCE snow crab legs and we had to ask for butter and the cracker tool. My sister got the AYCE shrimp and the seasoning was SO overpowering she couldn't eat them! We ordered drinks and my sister had her long Island tea made 2x and she sent them both back. We spent almost $200 there and i am not so sure we will be back. Such a disappointment!My daughter never got a refill on her water the entire time we were there.So disappointing.Sent that and after days, NO response!!

Cozy and simple, just a great place to stop in, relax, and enjoy some delicious seafood. Friendly service and great desserts, the peanut butter is the best you'll find anywhere.

If your not one of the regular dirtbag bikers at the bar, you won't have an enjoyable experience.

My husband and I stopped here on the way home and we are so glad we did! It’s your typical local bar and grill appearance on the outside but the inside is newly renovated and the food is amazing! It’s a smaller place and has a small staff so everything is cooked to order so the wait is a little long for food but SOOO worth it. The price for the huge portions is a steal! The crab cake is the size of the plate and has no filler at all! Server was so nice and personable. Definitely a great place we found and we will be back!

Food was mediocre.....absolutely no seasoning! However that could be overlooked......but the service was terrible. The server was visibly aggravated and made for a very uncomfortable dinner. They weren't even busy, so that was even more awkward bc it seemed like her attitude was directed solely to our table/group.

Ordered boneless wings for appetizer...40 minutes later they bring out chicken strips that were cut up in pieces because they were out. They were out of the ribs as well. 1hr 15 minutes later and we're waiting on a simple burger and sub to come out

Waited over an hour and a half with a 16 month old who was so hungry. Got our bill and left. The waitress made excuses for why the food never came out. We watched people who came in after us, get their food. Drove the 30 mins home with a crying baby. 1 star for customer service and the food normally is 5 stars.

I’ve been here multiple times since I moved to the area. The first time I went it was great. After that the service has become awful. Tonight it took an hour for my husband to get a burger. My shrimp came out and I was completely finished with it by the time my side came out. They didn’t ever bring me my hush puppies, which is the whole reason I wanted to go anyways. The food is good here but the service is always extremely bad. How can I ask for the hush puppies that never came when the waitress won’t stop by for more than a second? I won’t be back.
