Great atmosphere, hand-spun beer, great food truck and mimosa flights!“

“I can’t say enough good things about this venue and the owner Kimberly!! She truly values community and making her venue free and accessible to everyone. The venue itself is spacious inside and out, and it’s very comfortable and cozy inside. We hosted a charity oyster roast and it was the perfect place with so much room outside to set up our oyster tables and other various tables/tents. They also have an awesome selection of bottled beer/draft/full bar etc. 1000/10 experience, thank you Kimberly!!“

“Great food, even better people and atmosphere. As locals, we are weekly visitors. (well maybe more like three times a week on occasion.) We have NEVER not been satisfied. Ask my husband- it’s hard for ME to be satisfied. lol. But truthfully this is a gem of a spot, and consider yourself lucky if they get to know you and your order. Because this is “that kinda place”“

“I love Tortugas. My friends and I go every weekend. The staff is fantastic. Daniel Blevins is the best! He is always looking out for me and my friends when we are there, never feel unsafe with him around. Chad and Ray are great too. Love seeing their faces walking up the stairs.“

“Most excellent dinner and drinks! Highly recommended! Waiter was very helpful with food and drink selections.“

“Down in NC visiting family and they recommended Jebbys. Ordered the Old bay wings to start and they were as good as any spot in Maryland. For dinner, I got the gumbo and it was phenomenal. My wife loved the pot pie. The southern chicken and the pork chop were both also awesome. Love the family style vibe. Homemade dessert to finish - can't beat it. If I lived here, this would be my go to. Best meal I've had in NC.“

“Restaraunt across the street was hour and a half wait so we went in here. Definitely a dive bar with not much on the menu. Our server/bartender Lisa was super friendly and brought our little man some fries to keep him happy while we were figuring things out. Jalapeño poppers was what you'd expect from a dive bar, but cooked well. We all got burgers and they were pretty decent. Lisa can definitely mix up some drinks. Glad we stopped in and would love to come back without the kid to enjoy some live music“

“I’ve only been once, but will definitely be going back!! The bread was wonderful!!“

“My husband and son and I went Saturday for dinner and as always, it was delicious. The crab dip always spot on and the best around. A special Thank You to Tanner our server, he was awesome and did such a wonderful job and made sure everything was spot on for us to have a relaxing and enjoyable dinner. Tanner you were awesome and your personality and how you deal with your customers was great, please keep that up. My heart went out to you and I felt bad after the table next to us ran you and spent $200 if not more and left you such a crap tip, that was so wrong. But don't let people like that discourage you, keep doing you, because you were great!!!“
