Great food and service. Parking and getting a table can be an issue but the wait is worth it.

They must have lost their chef or something because most of the photos here look really good, and people seem to like it. The clam chowder was gelatin. The waitress was seriously offended when I spoke to her privately about it and asked for something else after 2 bites. She was argumentative, but agreed to swap it out. The other part of my order was 2 tacos, it was not taco day or anything, but how can you mess up tacos? The meet was 50/50 beef and straight chile powder. I tried to stomach as much as I could to appear like everything was OK, but eating just the lettuce, it clearly wasnt. The taco shells were cold and hard, not even warmed. Wow. I'm not here to bring down an establishments review rating, and the onion rings appetizer was terrific, but I have not experienced food this bad in a few years. Another person at the table only ate 2 bites of their grilled cheese. I didn't want to ask.. seems like other reviews recent are similar. Hopefully they can get back to the old way and find a chef because it looked like a cool place.

I came for good chicken tenders and fries. I didn’t order them because I’m a picky eater. I came with a specific craving and mindset, knowing you make your dipping sauces from scratch. You used to have the best hand breaded tenders around. Fries, you switched to an even cheaper Gordon’s product to go with the cheap oil. But cutting a $15 Chicken Tender basket out of Random Chicken Breast, and proceeding to dry drop in flour? I’d rather have pre done tenders knowing they are advertised as tenders. I hope this was a one time thing. Hopefully, the kitchen has AC, as I see you have been closing early due to heat. Keep food good. Keep good staff happy. Prices go up, that’s fine. Please don’t cut corners. I pay for good food done right. Thankfully, the service is always top notch.

If you like clam chowder this is the place. The perch is also quite good. Also a good selection of sandwiches. Min

Seriously the best food around! Always our first choice if we decide to eat out! The owners and their kiddos all work there and really make it feel like a family atmosphere that everyone can enjoy!! Tina makes the best home made soups!!! And if you like Mexican food I suggest trying Toms Nachos!!
You can't go wrong if you go here!!!
The locals seems to like it, always a full parking lot. Service was fine, seated right away, food delivery fairly quickly, and correct. Décor is pretty ordinary for its seafood themed concept, though use and wear are becoming noticeable. A very loud restaurant, sounds seem to amplify within these spaces making it hard to have on a conversation. Food, probably the biggest let down of the experience. For a restaurant with such longevity, my expectations may have been unrealistically higher than they should have been and the source of my disappointments. Three dinners ordered at our table, Tuna Melt, Shrimp Basket, and the Lobster Mac & Cheese. Tuna melt, though flavorful, was a bit nauseating – literally, the amount of butter/fat used to fry the sandwich was far too much. The fries on both the shrimp and the tuna plates were conservatively cooked, limp, warm at best, my guess is they were pulled from the fryer a second before the peak of their cooking and left to sit under a heat lamp where they steamed to softness as they cooled. The Lobster Mac & Cheese was, in my opinion, a display of culinary incompetence, the lobster, barely detectable, if you’re not going to use the appropriate amount of lobster at least add the flavor, say from a stock made from the shells of the lobster. The cheese in the Mac & Cheese was broken and gritty, not at all creamy, not the definition of cheese, edible but not delectable. The experience was perplexing, believing longevity and customer loyalty would lead to an enjoyable experience. Unfortunately, unrealized expectations.
