“Love to hit this old school food & bar place. As a smoker, I enjoy that I can light up inside the place and indulge in an adult beverage. Reminds me of older, better days- but the place does not wreak of smoke.
The crowd is laid-back and welcoming with occasional live music in the small venue“

The waffles are delicious and so are the specials - we love to see what they’re going to be each month! 10/10 recommend.“

“We went to blue ocean in Clinton. Everyone got fried clam strips. Portions are huge and reasonably priced. The strips were amazing! Our server Amanda was very friendly and kept checking on us. Will definitely go back again“

“Outstanding meal & service. Even though the crescent-loving crowd had gobbled them all up, the kitchen quickly responded and hot fresh honey-butter croissants were served! Only the bartender lady was less than top-shelf hospitality. Still a great experience. Steak-shrimp and Flounder-shrimp meals. Excellent salads with J Peters signature bacon/honey mustard dressing“

“First and foremost, the service was FANTASTIC.

This was my first time at Culvers so I asked probably too many questions and ordered with a lot of mods but the lady who took out order was patient and sweet as can be. The wait was not long and our order came out perfect, not one topping missed.

We went back up and ordered custard and a different lady who took our order that time was also perfection when it came to customer service. Our order came out quickly and accurately as well. We greatly appreciated her patience as we changed our orders on her when we discovered different options.

Yet another lady that was cleaning the dining room also made quick small talk with us when we were waiting for food. Just friendly faces all around!

I tried a butter burger and onion rings and they were both delicious but the pretzel bites with cheese sauce were my favorite! The vanilla custard reminded me of a place I frequented as a kid at the boardwalk at the Jersey shore.

I will definitely be back!“

“First time visiting and I can tell you it won't be my last. Food was excellent and the service was great. The lobster Alfredo was wonderful and my wife's ribs were good as well. Also enjoyed their calamari. My wife had lunch here with friends on Tuesday and asked to eat here on our anniversary. I can see why.“

“Being our first time here, the service was very good. They explained the menu and told us their specials. We got the double BBQ platter. The ribs were very dry and and rub was salty. We would not recommend getting those. The pulled pork was good though a little dry. The sides were the best part. We had the cole slaw and onion rings. They were outstanding. They had several choices in BBQ sauce for you to try. We will be back, but probably just get the pull pork sandwich.“

“What a great spot! Diverse/unique menu with delicious options, attentive service, lovely indoor/outdoor seating accommodations. We will definitely be back!“

“Great service! Food was wonderful, just what travelers needed. I was sad that they no longer had the harvest grain pancakes that I usually get with the Chicken Fajita Omelet. It has been replaced by a protein pancake. Overall, great experience. Thank you!“

“it just a beautiful place cozy friendly staff good food a relaxing place to eat and visit enjoy going there“

“had the buffett tonight for the first time and everything was fresh, warm, and delicious. the service was also great!“

“My hamburger steak was so seasoned I couldn't eat it, my granddaughter chicken nuggets was so salty she didn't want to eat them either, the ribeye was on the thin side and over cooked asked for medium. Service was on point and it was Father's Day as well and she did phenomenal. We waited for hour for table and there was no wiggle room to be had. Wall to wall people and very loud but we had a good time.“

“I moved recently and the food in my new city is bad. All I can think about is this restaurant. Everything is good here“

“Every time we’ve been here, it’s never been short of fresh and delicious! I also love finding a restaurant with diet Dr Pepper because it’s the only sugar free soda I like. Quality ingredients with a quality taste.“

“Great food, absolutely love thr location and servers!“

“Best Wings I ever had and totally recommend to anyone 5 stars“

“I love Skins Hotdogs. Have eaten at this location many times… however this is the first time I visited the restroom (and my last). It is absolutely the worst restroom I’ve ever been in. Walls and floors are nasty, faucets and sink look like they’ve never seen cleaner. Definitely could use some extensive cleaning and a facelift.“

“We ordered 2 hams for 2 different family events over the Thanksgiving holiday. The hams were excellent as always, and they were ready to go when they said they would be even though they were slammed!!! Great customer service and well run!!“
