I’ve been here two times in my life and the food was really good every time the service was always amazing especially the hush puppies in the mozzarella sticks and the other stuff that I have ordered in the past but I saw that this place burned down which makes me really sad. I hope this place comes back which they said they will hopefully soon because this is my grandparents favorite restaurant to come to when they go to Myrtle Beach.
