Staff is very kind and drinks were great! I ordered the soft shell crab dinner and there wasn’t much meat, for $25 wasn’t worth it

It wasn't that busy. But the server we had we really didn't see much. Was out of drink offten. Order a steak medium, but it was rare. Also didn't think bartender were allowed to drink behind the bar. Saw him take shots with the guest at the bar. While we were there he had 4 shots that we saw. And yes it was actual shots cause poured out the bottle he gave the guests.

Coconut shrimp dinner was awesome, with sweet potatoe fries (comes with cinnamon butter). The T-Bone steak was Ok. Taste good, but was just a really really thin cut. Never seen such a flat, thin T-Bone steak.

Just had lunch there, HUGE, MAJOR disappointment. EVERYTHING was served cold, my husband's French fries were cold and soggy and my COLD, mushy blackened swordfish was not enough to feed a 2 year old. Thank God the beer was at least cold. The waitress was mediocre at best. Needless to say we will NEVER be back.

I just ate dinner here this evening and came to write a review and read the first one which happened to be much like my experience and coincidentally has a picture of coconut shrimp that isn’t burned. I took my mom, my aunt, and my little niece out to eat after a fun day of shopping. My mom and I have eaten here often and are generally happy with the food and the service. All of the food was great except my coconut shrimp which were obviously overcooked and burned. They were VERY dark. My mom and aunty even commented on it. I decided to get some other dipping sauces and try to eat them anyway but they were mush in the middle and the burned coconut just sort of crumbled into dust in my mouth. They were inedible. I told our server who was very nice about it but sent the “manager” over who had a terrible attitude. Definitely not apologetic in the least. In fact she stood there and argued with me that the coconut shrimp is ALWAYS dark. “ that’s just how coconut shrimp is”. I explained that I love coconut shrimp and that this is not the case. They come out golden when cooked properly. As one can see in the picture on the review directly under mine. But this woman stood there and argued with me until it became quite uncomfortable and actually started to make me angry. This is not how a manager is supposed to handle this type of situation. We are very happy and fun people. We were laughing and having a great time up until this woman approached us with a terrible attitude. I expect a good manager to apologize, remove the food, take it off the bill (I ate 2 out of maybe 10) and ask us to please return again. This woman told me they don’t just take the food off the bill “just because a customer doesn’t like it”. She was insufferable standing over me speaking to me like I was some kind of imbecile. Had that not happened we would have shrugged it off and come back, but after this we will never eat here again. I would love to have taken a picture to post of how burnt my food was so everyone could see what this woman claimed was normal. Terrible management skills.

It would be a 5. The issue is you never know if the food will be awesome or less than average. Let me also add I made a small request about cooking the food through and the waitress said he always does.That is not acceptable for an answer.PLUS IT WAS NOT COOKED ALL THE WAY THROUGH !

Dumpy (in a good clean way) little corner bar with some really really good food... definitely a local hangout.. service wasn't bad but certainly not friendly..the atmosphere was dive like but I liked it more than I didn't as it was cozy..

We stopped by the Penn Grill for dinner recently. My sister used to live nearby and we went there often. I had a fish sandwich and sorry to say that it was soggy. My friend had a burger and loved it. The Key Lime Macadamia nut pie was excellent, and so was Danielle's service.
