We drove from Washington because it said you were open but you seem to be closed on Tuesdays even though that's not what a Google search tells you.

There is so much potential here. The food is underwhelming and the staff seem pretty unorganized. Would love to see this place get a face lift!!

First time eating there today! Great atmosphere. Cute, nicely decorated, clean and good food! Bar has lots of different kinds of liquor and beer. Laid back environment. We will be back.

What a great place. What a great little road trip to Dowry Creek and our first trip (Michael Jones) to The Salty Crab. Food was great and our waitress was fantastic! Lovely place and excellent scenery. We have to go back to try their awesome bar too!

First and last time for us. The atmosphere is so nice, wait staff was great, and a great waterfront view. Food was mediocre at best. I got crab tacos. They were terrible and I replaced with an Italian sub that subway would have made better. My husband got fried shrimp and they were just ok .

Had the shrimp tacos for lunch on a Wednesday. Delicious sauce. The house chips are perfect. Glad to have a place near by.

Came to spend time in the pool with my family. Day started ok, until we ordered a couple of drinks to enjoy pool side. The girl inside did not know how to make a basic martini and still seemed confused when I offered advice.
Left and came back (due to a storm) and after swimming for a bit, we decided to go inside for dinner. After looking at menus for several minutes we were told they were out of most of their appetizers, all of their seafood sandwiches and most if their chef specials. We asked for a few more minutes to reconsider. We were then told we could not do any substitutions ( I asked for the tuna with the risotto and grilled asparagus, as I don't care for cilantro rice or spinach that it came with). One of our party ordered a burger and asked for a side salad and we were told we could not do a side salad at all. She ordered the whole salad instead and added chicken. The chicken on top was frozen, cut all to horrid pieces and thrown on a grill top. I ordered the chef special grilled chicken w/mango salsa, risotto and steamed veggies....after over an hour wait, our plates were pipping hot as if they had been under a heat lamp for some time. My grilled chicken had the texture of frozen chicken and tasted of fish as if being cooked in the same spot as a fish order, the veggies were frozen and definitely not fresh and the risotto both tasted and felt like cottage cheese. Not worth 25$ at all.
Our waitress never checked on us, never refilled waters and never updated us on our food until we requested the manager. We will not be coming back.

Highly disappointed. Maybe I should start out by saying the sanitation grade is 91. We were immediately seated and then forgotten about. Once we finally were waited on, it took another 20 minutes to get our drinks. When she came back to take our order she stated she couldn’t find the food menu on her handheld. After we gave her our order multiple tables were seated and served before we got our food. The table beside us was complaining to their waitress about their food. There were three empty tables around us that sat dirty the entire time we were there. We finally decided to say something and not one but THREE employees were crowded beside the bar, one girl that was even sitting down. When we asked how much longer we got a very snippy “it will be right out. maybe 5 minutes” with no other explanation. It was more than 5 minutes and we watched yet another table be served. Seeing that it was a party of 6 of us, we tried to be patient but seeing even bigger parties be served before us was ridiculous. We were never asked for refills. We stopped a man who was walking by with food to check on our order and all he said was “I’ll check”. When we finally got our food, the nachos were cold and stale. Two guests ordered no tomato or lettuce and they had both. We have to immediately ask for boxes and the bill because we had waited 90 MINUTES at this point. When the waitress came back to check us out, none of the food had been placed on the correct tickets (3 checks). We had to repeat our orders multiple times. No one ever apologized for the delay. No one acted like they even cared that we were receiving horrible service. We never saw the girl who originally took our order again. Definitely not worth what we paid and not sure we will return based on how the entire situation was handled.

The server we had did not know how to take an order. Waited an hour to place meal order. They ran out of the special and ribeyes. Food was cold when finally received.

Kid-friendliness: They have a Pirate menu for kids.
