I was all set to give these folks a five star review until I looked at my receipt more closely. My wife only wanted a crock of soup, which was a seafood soup. They didn’t call it chowder but I think it could be considered chowder, although it was a darker color. She also wanted the fried pickles, which were good but the spears were fairly large and thick (I prefer the slices instead of spears anyway). I had what they call the “Trio,” which consisted of a crock of soup...

What’s happening with the fish sandwich 🤷‍♂️ filet was so small I had to eat with no bun! Been changed the (fish filet) so many times I’ll have to move on to another entree find a good supplier and stick with them

We had a really nice experience here. The food was nice overall. The French onion soup was decent, coleslaw, the fried pickles, the pizza, everything was tasty. We also enjoyed the sweet potato fries and the regular fries. The portions were great, and the whole place had a calm, chill vibe. My toddler had a great time too!
Our servers were very friendly and attentive. Overall, a great spot with good food and a welcoming atmosphere. We’d definitely come back!
