My wife and I have been here multiple times before. Out go to order is : fried calamari, raw oysters, and 2 po boys. The raw oysters come out ice cold and fresh no fishy smell, the calamari is very well cooked and delicious, The po boys come on an amazingly baked bun and the sauce just ads so much dimension to the sea food. They never disappoint if you sit outside the service might not be the best though. I’ve honestly never actually had any problems here, 100% would recommend to anyone.

This place was decent. It was just my mom and I, and we were seated in a tiny corner next to a larger table. Close quarters to say the least, I could reach out and touch the people next to me, we were basically on top of each other and the staff had minimal room to move. The crab dip was pretty good but not worth the price and came with tortilla chips and bread? We just asked for bread. Honestly I think pita chips or a crostini would be a better choice and compliment the taste better. Same with the cocktails, I had The Quiet Storm rum mule and it was STRONG but flavor wasn't notable. I did very much enjoy my shrimp scampi with green beans and my mom enjoyed her shrimp and grits with thai chili sauce. Good crispy fries as well.

Great experience had the famous crab cake sandwich. The staff was great, and the food tasted great. I think they should make the crab cake a bigger portion for the sandwiches. Felt like the bread consumed. I did taste the crab care by itself, amazing.

We came for lunch and sat outside with our pup. It’s a high traffic spot bustling on the weekends, at least while we were there midday on a Saturday. We had a broad order of various seafood hits: Chowder, Crab Cakes, and Oysters. The oysters were local and very good - even had 3 pea crabs which took us by surprise after not realizing what they were, but lots of local lore about how they’re good luck. Chowder was pretty good. Best item was probably the crab cake appetizer. Our server was fantastic - really friendly and attentive despite being very busy and bouncing from table to table inside and outside. Will come back when we’re in town again. Nice lunch spot.Parking: Metered parallel street parking

The food was great! I had mussels in garlic butter with bread. It was absolutely delicious! My sister-in-law had a seafood pot pie that was great. Prices were reasonable for the quality and portions of seafood.
