Owner degrades all of his employees and talks to them as if they are dirt. He will fire employees the chase them out of the restaurant all while degrading the in the process. As a former employee this happened to me. I would hate to see it happen to any more people than it already has !

This place needs a big turnaround. I’ve been here 3x in 20 years (or about that), and every time I’m disappointed, which is a shame because it’s a great location and the only bbq spot in town.
The big problem is that they really don’t seem to have fresh BBQ. They could BBQ fresh, but our plate was obviously reheated in a skillet with lots of grease.
The wait staff is great though, and a good spot for a beer

Meat was dry and flavorless. Bloody Mary was watered down, didn't even taste like tomato. We didn't get one of our food items until after we were finished eating everything else. Never got any refills on water. I can't recommend this place less.

All the staff were smiling and friendly. Very welcoming. The food? Meh. Corn on the cob was overbooked, but cold. Pulled pork was cold. Cornbread was stale. Nachos were soggy. Cocktails were weak. Sweet potato fries were hot and delicious we had high hopes

We were at this restaurant last year it was fantastic. We came back this year with 12 extra friends. We called ahead since such a large party ( 24 ) for lunch on a Friday. Only 10 other people in restaurant I ordered a coke, I was told we may not have that. Waitress came back with drinks including coke. Were told no pineapple or peach to make margaritas ( which we had last year). Placing order I ordered Mac & cheese bites (on the board as a special today) was told I got the last order. I asked for a refill and was told I got the last coke. Bartender outside is separate and not able to give us his cokes or water ( his words). Our apps were cold. Waited 1 1/2 hours and still did not receive anything but apps. Told that boss called and asked how things were and they told him out of everything and his reply was “ I’ll be in later”. Poor waitresses tried but were lacking in customer service and avoided us like the plague. We paid for our drinks and the cold apps and left and cancelled our orders. Absolutely horrible experience not customer friendly at all. Very sad that the “new” owners let this happen to a great spot by the water.

Out of items on menu including drinks food was brought out uncooked when asked for a manager was told just talked to owner on phone and was asked how thongs were going waitress told him not good and would be back later. Originally was told he was out getting soda. Owner was clearly trying to avoid confict when story changed as to when he was to be back

We had eaten here years ago and enjoyed it. This time the food wasn’t as good. My boyfriend’s fries were totally dry and his burger was just OK. I liked my quesadilla , but the pork was a bit dry. Overall service was slow. Judging by the reviews it seems they are reheating the meats which decreases the quality significantly . We will be back because the atmosphere is great and the food still had potential.

We arrived 30 minutes before closing after a long day of driving with kids on a family road trip. We were treated so well and everyone went above and beyond to make us feel welcome despite the late hour. The food was great but the service was excellent! It’s right on the beach and there’s plenty of things for the kids to do like play volleyball or corn hole while waiting for the food. They also gave our little food and let them feed the fish in the pond. I would recommend them to anyone and if we are ever in the area again we will make sure to stop by 🩷.
We had a half rack of ribs and they were tough, gristle and sauce was a little help. They were very understaffed. The staff was running their butts off but the place is so big and they did all they could do. BTW the coleslaw was tasteless but the baked beans were good.

Good food. A few burnt or jerky ribs in the bunch. Corn was luke warm. Waitress was friendly, but forgot the mac and cheese, seasoning for fries, and refills.

So aside from the bad reviews I seen I took a chance and went in here today. It was so quiet and peaceful , my ribs were so tender and tasted great , the beans were soft , Cornbread was ok I prefer sweet cornbread but it was made good . The only complaint I would say is the potato salad tasted a tad bit watered down. Other then best ribs I have had in a long long time. Highly recommended

The cheesy mac n’ rib was phenomenal. The bbq melted in your mouth and the Texas toast was cooked perfectly. The great food coupled with the great view makes this a big win!
Poor service and food—dirty outside bar.
