Do not get the fish and chips. Rip off for $27. they are frozen fish sticks from the supermarket. Tough and not crispy. 0 stars.

Service was fine, although server did not bring any sides with the entree.
February 2026
Peel and eat shrimp were absolutely delicious and cooked perfectly. Only one had been neglected to be deveined.
My crab salad sandwich desperately needed seasoning and less mayo. Husband's lobster roll was more like a lobster salad, stringy small bits of lobster with too much mayo. 7 bucks for a bottle of Miller high life should be illegal. Our server was wonderful! Very friendly and attentive! Probably won't return.

Food came out fast, service was great! I got chicken cheese steak, wish I did regular cheese steak but that my preference. Was still a good time! Also had Cajun burger, that was great!
