“We ordered “The Clamshell” with the clams and mussels mix and followed the instructions as printed. Everything was absolutely perfectly prepared and over the top delicious. We used the entire seasoning cup provided and steamed it in Sam Adams Cherry Wheat Ale and it came out great. The potatoes sopped up the broth and it was yummy. We didn’t need the supplied cocktail sauce or butter. Everything was so flavorful. We highly recommend!!“

“We held a rehearsal dinner for my son’s wedding at Caribsea! We were so pleased with everything from the planning to the final bill. The atmosphere was elegant and cozy, the food was fabulous, and the service was above and beyond! We had a lot of guests with food allergies… chef prepared specific plates for each of those guests, they labeled all of the food just in case we missed anyone’s allergy (we did buffet style for the majority of our 50 guests.) The final cost (even with an open bar) was a pleasant surprise. I gave Caribsea a budget and they stayed well under - I was shocked. The quality of everything was worth so much more. Everyone had a great time! I want to thank Vito, chef and the wait staff - everyone was so kind and so professional!

Vegetarian options: We had vegan, serious food allergies, and gluten free guests. Chef made plates specifically for their likings.“

“Excellent local restaurant. Great shrimp and grits. Owners are strong community supporters, as well!!“

“I'm going to give them them five stars for food even though they're mostly seafood restaurant. I could smell the fishies in the air LOL but I'm just the weirdo that doesn't like it I can tell that the seafood lovers love it and locals alike. And the employees there are always so smiley and just happy to help and make you feel good and not like you're a burden on them and that they don't want to be there. Like some people do and some work environments. Its a domino effect when the employees are bright and bubbly, the customers feel happy and they're more enjoyable and less likely to complain I mean. And now and then you'll have your one person that you just can't please. But here everybody is just so pleasant. I'm always happy to go pick up and ordered for doordash there. I only wish I got them more often! Lol. You guys rock! Keep up the good work!

Parking: They don't have a lot of parking spots. They have a couple up front and the Russians just gravel so you kind of got to find them where you can LOL. It's not too difficult.

Kid-friendliness: Definitely a family oriented restaurant. I'd say! They're amazing here! You can bring your kids and your grandma LOL

Wheelchair accessibility: Absolutely on one level even on the outside I believe! Nobody has no excuses to not come. Try this restaurant out now LOL“

“Early dinner ... we had shave ribeye steak subs and fries... DELICIOUSLY flavorful!! Tried the appetizer: Chicken Brocolli Cheddar Fritter Balls-- good gracious they were AMAXING!! House made ranch dressing for dipping. Another plus was really nice gift shop on site... plus HOMEMADE old family recipe fudges!!! WOW!! A really nice family feel to this place instead of just a bar hang out joint. Very nice attentive staff working here.“

“Croissants are so good! Very busy restaurant, there was a wait. Ok location, have to park in shared lot with other businesses & walk a ways. Food was good, nothing special. Would eat there again. Waitress was nice.“

“We ate at The Trading Post last night. The food was great and the staff was friendly. What stood out the most was how well the staff worked together. They were helping each other, filling glasses and delivering food for each other, the hostess never stopped moving…constantly checking to see if wait staff needed assistance. A great overall experience.“
