Hubby says the best Reuben he's had on the coast side. Burger was very satisfying. Not a fan of the fries, but that's purely stylistic preference. Your mileage may vary. Lovely service.

Might have been one of the best burgers I’ve ever had on the coast. Wife said the crab BLT was a 10/10

We came on a Wednesday at noon and it was closed.

The atmosphere is light and bright, casual and full of patrons. Our waitress was adorable and sweet and did a fantastic job. The food was generally good, I would just say that the seasoning is not quite there. The seasoning may be suited for the older generation who prefers a bit more bland. That being said, everything was cooked properly and there is salt and pepper on the table. Great restaurant for families, large groups, small groups, parties of two. We had the peanut butter pie for dessert and it was to die for.

I ordered the bacon cheeseburger with fries. The fries were the best french fries I've ever had, no exaggeration.

We neglected to make reservations and showed up with a party of 6. The wait was not too bad and it wasn't long before Josh showed up to take our drink orders. Josh was engaging, efficient, and made sure we were well taken care of. He added a nice little spark to our dining experience.

Every time I go to the beach I always have to stop here. The waiters are really awesome too! They have amazing food! the steak is so great every time I get it and big shout out to the cooks! Definitely would recommend having the family or friends come and try their food out and the selection of beverages they have too! definitely won’t regret it!

Very tasty juicy burgers! Marion Berry dressing on the fresh salad was excellent. We also had the halibut fish n chips as well as the French dip which came on a delicious soft roll.
Wil definitely return.

Our meal was awful. My husband had the steak and it tasted like it was cooked from frozen. Very thin, crusted on the outside and chewy on the inside. Definitely, not a $40 cut of meat. I had the Asiago encrusted halibut that was supposed to have a garlic sauce on it, but instead it was served plain on a bed of grease. We both had broccolini on the side that was barely cooked. I normally wouldn’t do a bad review, but for these prices I felt like I needed to. I had a bowl of chowder and it was vey good and our dinner salad was also very good.

You pick the food - meats , fish veggies. You pay for it at cash register- currently $14.99 per pound. Choose soup base. And it will be served to your table. Comfort food, not a date place.
