It was packed but the food came out quickly. I went with the fried shrimp dinner and I left a full, happy man. One last detail...holy cow that cocktail sauce was spot on! You can tell it's home made. Good stuff here!“

“I’ve been coming there every year since they were a smaller shop. This was the first year I was dissatisfied. My husband can’t stomach pickles, they put them on his sandwich after he asked them not to, the receipt showed the request. However when it came it had pickles. I sent it back, I know 100% they just took them off and gave it back within 3 minutes, so I complained and requested a new sandwich. They acted like they were mad at ME?! Excuse me, please do better. Sincerely a devoted customer, who will be back because the owner deserves another chance.“

“We went to the closest DQ by our rented beach house for a treat. This DQ team worked amazingly well together! By the time I paid for my order, it was ready! Then my friend ordered her treat and before our next friend could order, hers was done! Then, our other friend got his treats really fast also! This place was so very busy but they were like a well oiled machine! I’m very impressed by their teamwork, professionalism, and great customer service!“
