Our group will pick a restaurant monthly to get together. We always schedule because normally we will have a group of 15 to 25 people. The food was very good. Our server was great and attentive to our needs. Atmosphere was good. Would recommend.

We were a party of 4 , we were seated 15 minutes later our drink order was taken , 15 minutes later she brought use our drinks another 13 minutes she took our order wasted 10 minutes trying to find a menu for the children, just to hear the printer had no ink. The flounder had no seasoning very blan. Kids chicken pasta with sauce was extremely salty. 4 clusters of crab were poor quality hardly any meat in them legs. Took it to go and gave it to the cats that hang out in the back of your restaurant. I did leave a 20$ tip because I'm not a jerk. 🤢 Gross!

The food was absolutely drenched in butter and nearly inedible. Service was very slow despite the place being almost empty. Prices were high, and the menus were dirty—not a good sign. I couldn’t even finish my meal. Definitely not worth it

My husband and I had the pleasure of Alexis being our server. She was very nice and did an exceptional job taking care of us! Her service was excellent!!! The food was great, from the calamari/crab stuffed mushrooms to the shrimp and grits and crab buckets! We will definitely be visiting again!

Our server was Jasmine, she was extremely attentive to our needs, knowledgeable, and provided some great recommendations. I went with the salmon and red rice while my wife went with the crab bucket. The service and food made for a great night. Will definitely be back to try some of the other recommendations Jasmine provided.

Enjoyed everything
This use to be a good spot to go get some good seafood. But lately I would have to say not!! The last time we went about 5 months ago, fish was dry, collard greens were sweet, things just weren’t the same. We had family in town a year ago and they loved it so much they wanted to return when they came back in town. Well they went yesterday and came back to the house so disappointed!! We were hoping things got better but evidently not. I hope things change back to the normal one day.

When I first walked in, I wasn’t greeted by a hostess for at least five minutes. When a waiter finally approached, he had an attitude and immediately told my dad and me that we only had 10 minutes to place an order.
After we left, I realized I had forgotten my to-go tray, so I walked back inside. By then, the waiter had already cleared the table. Another worker went to the back and came out with my food — but to my disgust, it had been pulled from the trash. I even asked her directly if it had been thrown away, and she lied to my face. I cannot explain how upsetting and disrespectful that felt.
Giving a customer food that was taken out of the trash is beyond unacceptable and deeply concerning. The lack of respect, honesty, and basic food safety shown during this visit is something I cannot overlook. I will be reporting this incident to the health department. If I could give zero stars, I absolutely would.
