One of the best restaurants in holden beach! We ordered a bunch of different things and everything was too delicious. The waitress we had was also super friendly.

Poorly ran. Poor service. Poor management. Poor food. The only reason they remain in business is surely due to the lack of competition in the area due to the mom and pop Holden beach township.

I used to like this place better. The food was okay not great. The service was not that great. Overall I don't think we will be back to eat, but the Bloody Mary's are the only thing we will be back for. They make some really good ones!Parking: Unknown but sometimes not enough for all patrons.Kid-friendliness: It seems very kid friendly.

The Maryland crab cake was close to a Maryland crab cake. Well worth it.

An outstanding restaurant, service and food were great. Maryland crab cakes were delicious. Our server, Nikki provided us service that was above and beyond expectations, she was the very best, friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. Lobster Bisque and oysters on the half shell were perfect. We will definitely return soon.

Fun and casual environment, good food, nice portions. The servers are super friendly and attentive. This is my go-to ocean front local dining spot. I like the surrounding restaurants but this is my "all-around" favorite. I usually order the tilapia - it never disappoints.

Great location. We visited on live music night. It was so loud inside we asked to sit outside where it was a little cold and dark. Great selection. Food was good. I got oysters with a side of amazing slaw. Wife got fettuccine, which was just ok. Service was really good. Prices were what you'd expect. Would visit again on a different night.

I would've given 4 ⭐⭐⭐⭐ but we weren't asked how we wanted our oysters & the waitress was doing her best but we had to signal for her twice. Also, the oysters were gritty & in my case, I only ate 4 of the 12 oysters. They were beautiful oysters, they just hadn't been cleaned enough. Also, the shrimp burger was a patty of some sort, not fried shrimp.

We experienced an airy beach atmosphere with attentive service. However, the food was lacking. We ordered beer cheese nachos with chicken. The chicken was frozen, gummy grilled chicken pieces. All of the food tasted very quickly put together and just okay. The best thing our party of 6 tried was the Alfredo. Wouldn’t eat here again. Lots of stairs if you have older people in your party.
