The chicken wings are the only reason why we'd ever come back, if that... our waitress had a bad attitude and the bartender was more concerned about her phone. The outside used to be really nice, the fire pits weren't even on and the bar outdoors was a mess smh. Hire classy not trashy waitresses 👌

Food was good, service was 10 of 10! Nice, spacious and open atmosphere! They have a back patio overlooking the water. It was a little chilly when we went but looking forward to sitting out there on a warmer day!

Went out of our way to eat here. The website said they are open Monday evening. They are closed. Very disappointed.

Came in on a Monday. No one to greet you at the door. Seat yourself. Okay… two tables inside eating and one outside just getting ready to leave. We sat outside, the waitress came outside to take care of that table leaving 7 times, never even looked our direction. Waited about ten minutes and left.meanwhile, we went to hoaks right down the road which was busy but they took us right in, server was at our table within minutes

Outside area needs a massive manicure. Weeds every where, grass needs cut. Cushions were off the chairs. Not very pretty

Came for the first time lastnight with a group of people for a birthday party. After reading reviews I was very nervous to try
Well the reviews didn't lie. Blackened swordfish bites were horrible we told the waitress and she basically ignored it. Fried clam dinner inder cooked same thing the waitress didn't care. The waitress kept forgetting drinks and seemed bothered. Rest of the dishes were subpar at best. I dont know how anyone can run a restaurant like this. On to the DJ or lack there of you would have been better off saving money and turning on a radio. What a horrible experience and a horrible night. To top it off it was one of our friends birthday and the waitress was like yeah happy birthday whoever it is and walked away. Do not waste your time or money on this horrible establishment. In times that everything is so expensive you need to do better as a business. For a Friday night it was dead that should have been a sign as well.

Went over here a few weeks ago for the first time to have lunch. I lived right down the street and have been wanting to try their 99 cent wings. The host was pretty good despite him disappearing momentarily throughout our lunch. The wings weren’t the best in the world but it was definitely not bad given the price. Wasn’t a big fan of their fries though and their drinks tasted like straight up syrup (in a bad way). Also I loved the amazing view!

The worst meal we’ve had ever from any restaurant. All 6 dinners were wrong and the service was poor. I would not recommend to go here.

Enjoyed a great dinner out on the patio on a Friday. A ton of people (including my fiancé) had ordered fish fry’s so I am assuming that’s what slowed down service. Portions were absolutely huge! Staff were courteous and attentive. Definitely a place to revisit.

This is the most poorly run establishment I have been to. The hostess was gone for 15 minutes- came back, sat us, and then told us we had to get up from the table and wait at the bar because others had a reservation. The food wait was over an hour. The band was supposed to start at 7:00- it was past 7:30 and they still didn’t begin. They randomly charged some people 10.00 to hear the band and others didn’t get charged. This could be a really cool place- but it needs to be managed better. The service was bad and it was not up kept well.
