I am not a seafood eater but the people with me were. Everybody was very happy with her food.

We enjoyed the Flounder, crab legs and the Lobster roll, very reasonable prices. Everything was delicious definitely worth going back to for more dinners

We got a half pack of steamed oysters and started out strong - they were perfectly cooked and tender. The lobster roll was small, but that was fine since we'd filled up on oysters prior to the main meal ! Our server, Michele, was absolutely delightful.

The highlight was the porch - we sat in the corner under a gorgeous tree and it was an amazing way to appreciate the weather.

Low-key, good food, nice service, awesome for folks looking to spend a nice afternoon with folks they like.

Turned away at 8:18 because their kitchen is closed, should probably have the doors locked and hours displayed not open until 9pm for dine in, take out, and or delivery.

It was slow for a Saturday night , no waiting which was unusual , Although it was NCAA tourney first weekend...food was good ,served quickly ....adult beverages (offered) are worth a taste for their uniqueness. All the Staff was friendly & attentive. Definitely will return ...live entertainment on the outdoor patio some days.

Worst lobster roll I have ever had, picture attached. The waitress was honestly really nice and didn't even seem confused when I told her it was disgusting. It's almost like she already knew what I was gonna say. The atmosphere is mostly regulars but also has a dive bar feel(nothing wrong with that)

We went for lunch on a Saturday. We were the first people in the restaurant. The staff were great attentive and friendly. The food was good. We'll be back and I'll remember to take a couple of pictures

So my husband did the oyster challenge and so did 2 other guys but they made my husbands extra hot where it couldn’t eat but one! That’s was so unfair to him and they charged him for the oysters l! I say that’s so unfair! Maybe u should treat all fair!!! I mean t me that’s unfair!! What if u all would have caused him to have a heart attack! Like his friend lives hot stuff and he couldn’t even do it he said it made him feel very hot! We come there a lot but we won’t be back and I sure will let my friends and family know how unfair u all treat ur customers!!

Absolutely the best oyster bar experience I’ve had in years! All seafood is fresh, light and full of flavor. The oysters were out of this world and shucked crystal clean by skilled staff. I would 10/10 recommend as a must try oyster bar and grill ASAP.

First time visitor. My initial observation concerned housekeeping…my table near the window wasn’t wiped down. Grains of salt and pieces of cabbage (slaw) were present. Condiments on the table were in sticky, oily containers and were in need of wiping down.
Ordering, my side order from the lunch menu couldn’t be filled…no potato salad as advertised. I requested alcohol free beer but it wasn’t available. The fried oysters with collard greens were very delicious and satisfying and plated nicely. Cold slaw was included in the order but was served in a 2 ounce condiment cup…😕. Positives…the food was delicious. They honor military service and reflect a discount in billing if made aware. I’ll surely return as things I’ve identified are easy fixes by attentive management staff, plus, I throughly enjoy the delicious meal.
