Friendly staff, good food, lots of items to choose from. Would eat there again. Can get crowded, some items are a little pricey.

The food and drinks were great. Second year we’ve gone here for dinner (this year we celebrated my mom’s birthday who passed away before being able to come back). I will say, the waitress we had wasn’t friendly. We had a big party and we were split up (which was fine) but she only came around to the bigger table and I asked her if I could pay for my half and she rolled her eyes and said no, never asked if we wanted a drink etc. I went to the bar which was fine(those guys were so sweet too). The real MVP was Cassie (hope that’s correct) who went out of her way to come to our table to talk to my 3 year old and gave her stickers and a bracelet. It made my daughters night ❤️ We will be back, and hope to see Cassie and the bartenders!

The Sheepshead over grilled asparagus and risotto was one of the best meals I’ve had in the area in quite awhile. Amazing job, Chef!!

Ashley was our server and went out of her way to take care of us, even offering to go to their coffee shop next-door for a chai latte for me when I asked for a hot Tea to warm up with! She might be the most attentive and genuine server (and probably the best we’ve ever had at any restaurant)! I’m not normally one to leave reviews, but her friendly & attentive service absolutely needs recognition! The sweet potato fries were out of this world! Albeit, a bit pricey but the absolute best I’ve ever had! My husband and I had the fillet Oscar which was exceptional (and without the hollandaise sauce - not needed in my opinion)! We will Definitely be coming back more often!

Great food. I tried southwest egg rolls, shrimp nachos, boneless wings. Our waitress was top notch. Definitely a must stop while in the area.

Avoid. Two members of our party got food poisoning! Seems like the Mahi Mahi was improperly stored or tainted through poor food safety practices.

Wheelchair accessibility: Inside only. Outdoor seating is almost all high tables. Call ahead as indoor seating is limited.

Crab Dip is a must

Decent menu options. A tad pricey for what you get, IMO, but definitely serves the need for a good meal. Our group experienced everything from massive nachos, to delicious filet cut, to burgers, to a chicken sandwich. All was good. Overall a good choice.

My wife and i, and friends of ours, had a wonderful lunch outside recently. The food was delicious, servings were big, and their drinks very well made. We also had a great wait person!

Several major problems with my experience. First, the inside was FRIGID. We had a fan blasting on high on a cold November evening. There was a constant draft from one direction or another. I had chills by the time I left, even after they turned the fans off. Second, the hidden fees and pricing are sleazy. There's fine print on the prices being CASH ONLY, but they don't specify how much they increase it if you pay card. The meals were so overpriced, I don't know how many people are coming with enough cash to cover their bill. Last and the worst, I arrived tired after a long conference. My father and I ordered "From the Sea" meals, and the restaurant failed to notice that they forgot our hushpuppies! I was so tired that I didn't even notice that they never arrived until we already paid. It honestly makes me mad we paid $75ish dollars for two mediocre meals. I refused to even consider asking for a drink solely because they don't list drink prices! The 4+ stars this place has is not worth it, and I honestly wish I could get my money back.
