First time dining here today … ordered the Coconut Shrimp w Broccoli Collards Coconut Shrimp were so hard you could barely chew, Broccoli no taste at all, no sauce just bland, collards were good and the only thing I could eat and enjoy …I can honestly say this was the worst dinner I have had since living here ( one year ) service was good ,Music was good … my friend who was with me ordered almost the same .. her take back home she threw in the garbage !

Right from the beginning server was amazing. Very nice gentleman. Ordered warm crab dip! Yum. Had crab stuffed flounder, collards and red rice. Just delicious! Best collards I’ve ever had. Tap beer was cold and crisp. Definitely a place to go.

Went in before 5. Beat the crowd. Wish I could remember the waiters name. He was fantastic. The crab and artichoke dip is a must get. With the food and staff this is the place to go

This was the first time here. I had heard so much about this place and the food. It had been a very long day so We ordered the Hot Crab & Artichoke appetizers which was served with Fried or Baked Pita Bread (cut in triangle pieces) and a drink which was a bit too strong. The main courses were the Fried Captain Platter with side Shack's House and Caesar Salads. The appetizer was AMAZING...It was cheesey with Crab meat. The side Salads were very good also! The Main Courses were Fried a little too long(were hard) and I only received ONE(1)Shrimp.
I was a little disappointed ? with the drink and main course but will revisit again sometime in the future.

Parking: The restaurant is located in a small shopping area with other shops so there is plenty of parking available.

We just ate on a Friday night service was so slow. Waited for a long time to even take out drink order. I got snow crab and it was not good at all, tons of seasoning that I did not request . Mom ordered fried oysters you could ring oil out of them. Husbands flounder was soggy and red rice was dry. No straws had to ask the bartender. Went back up to ask the bartender for silverware. I was watching as my husband walked off he shock his head as he looked at the server who was talking with the table next to us. Will not be back. AND beware of MKT they just pick a price for whatever they feel like charging. Avoid the place.
