“This was an awesome gem of a resturant hidden in the woods. Such an intriguing history of the place. I LOVED their seafood - flounder, shrimp, fried oysters and will definitely be going back again. It was also great to meet the owners and family members that are part of the history of this place and land. They hosted the group I was with (CAPS) and really showed that Southern hospitality to us all. Thanks guys!!!“

If you love seafood but not necessarily the beach, this is the place to eat!!! It is better than any beach restaurants.“

“Awesome food, great people“

“I was on vacation with 3 other couples. we had a reservation on 8/22/25. Our server "Q" was great and did a wonderful job going over the specials and recommendations. The french onion soup was delicious. I am typically not a steak person, but decided to try the petite filet with garlic butter and the baked potato. It was phenomenal and I was very pleased with my choice. others got the ribs, lamb, lobster bisque, a plethora of sides, cheescake and lava cake....nothing was less than delicious. Bonus, I got engaged here as well“

“Their food was fresh and tasty. And the tortilla chips and sauce we ate before our meal was also very fresh and tasty. Also the folks working there were very nice and courteous! I will definitely make it a point eat there again when I’m in the area!“

“My family has eaten here a few times over the past year or so and it has always been good. We usually do the 'build your own bowl' and there are a lot of options. My kids like the white rice with avocado, tuna, and sweet soy sauce. In many cases I can split two bowls across three people making the price reasonable (around $25-27). Service at the counter has always been friendly and the tables in the restaurant are clean. Would recommend going there if you like poke bowls - much better than the ones from the grocery store and about the same price.“

“Food and service is excellent. The value is great for the amount of food you get. Sara L was polite and very attentive. The calamari was a huge portion and enough for 4 people as an appetizer. Every time we come here we leave happy and full and with some leftover for the next day. Highly recommend“

“Excellent service by Kareem. Food was good as always.“

“Very nice atmosphere, food and service. I would recommend this establishment for high quality food and a great place to order takeout.Great job.“

“Hello, Sailor is a coastal dream with food that hits like a sea breeze and service that makes you want to become a regular — and a huge part of that was thanks to Sally, who was absolutely amazing. From the moment we sat down, she made us feel like VIPs on a waterfront vacation, even though we were just here for dinner (and maybe a little escape from real life).

Now let’s talk oysters: WOW. Fresh, briny, and perfectly shucked — they tasted like they were plucked straight from the ocean with love and a tiny sprinkle of magic. If you’re even thinking about oysters, don’t hesitate. Just order them. Trust me.

Sally’s recommendations were spot-on, her timing was perfect, and her vibe was the right mix of warm, funny, and knowledgeable — like your cool friend who just happens to be a service industry all-star.

I’ll absolutely be back — for the oysters, the view, and definitely for Sally. Hello, Sailor? More like “Hello, new favorite spot.”“

“AWESOME FOOD GREAT SERVICE WE HAVE BEEN GOING HERE SINCE THEY OPENED“

“THANK YOU LUNCH WAS EXCELLENT TODAY THIS WAS OUR THIRD TIME COMING“

“This is our favorite Mexican restaurant. The staff is always very friendly. The atmosphere is a lot of fun with a bar section that makes delicious drinks. I recommend their chicken quesadillas, cheese dip, rice, beans, chimichangas. We have loved everything we tried but these are our favorites.

Kid-friendliness: This place is very kid friendly with lots of space to spread out.“

“Friendly staff and great food!“

“I love their chicken salad. I was so disappointed when they took it off their menu. The last time I was there I. asked the manager about it. He said they now run it as a special every other week. And to call each week to see if it was a special well today was my lucky day! I called and it was on special! I have to say I was disappointed when I saw they had cut back on the portion size and cost had gone up. But I wanted it that bad and paid the price! It was still as good as ever. I also tried their cheesecake and oh my it was awesome. I could not eat it all at one setting!“

“We have been going to Antico for at least seven years; the food is normally excellent. Last visit, I had the lunch portion around 2PM Chicken Capricioso and the chicken was tough, barely any artichoke. This review was more of a heads up to the kitchen. I was kind on the “4” rating for the dish, as your dishes are typically wonderful. Also, our waiter was too busy socializing to notice the needs of his other customers.“

“Excellent service, fresh and delicious seafood, stylish interior plus outdoor seating area - great place!“

“I have been here before but it has been quite a while but this was the first time bringing my mom. Very fun decor (nascar and football themed) We sat inside the bus located inside the restaurant which had little mini TV’s playing kids movies. Very fun. I ordered the BBQ plate which included 2 sides (Mac-n-cheese & baked beans) not your typical Mac-n-cheese - like curly pasta noodles and white cheddar cheese. Baked beans with yummy with onions & bits of bbq in them. The flavor of the BBQ sauce is good. I’m not a vinegar based girl so it was nice to have another option to dip my BBQ in. Husband said the ribs were seasoned well & not dry. Waitress was friendly and attentive. We will definitely be back!“

“Great margaritas and Great food“

“First time visiting this location of Red Rocks. Saturday afternoon was very attentive. No seating inside at time of visit so was seated outdoors.. which we didn’t mind. Server was respectful and polite. Only problems was ALLLL THE FLIES. Fans were circulating above but not really near tables to serve any purpose other than moving air. Owner/manager greeted everyone which was very nice. But you really got to see what can be done with flies… you could barely get food on your fork up to your mouth before they were all over your plate or trying to get to the fork. That made for an unpleasant dining experience. I’ve never ate on any restaurants outdoor area and flies were that bad.“
