I'm hoping things improve for this business. I rarely give ⭐ but my experience here was terrible. The service lagged. It wasn't very busy. There were 3 workers that we saw. My husband has really long hair, without even looking at us the waiter exclaimed, "I will be right with you ladies". Even after noticing he was not a she, no apologies at all. When we received our order the coffee was cold (like someone accidentally turned off the pot). Our order took forever! When the food came out, the food was cold and the refried beans were undercooked and gritty. I dared not to try the sunny side up egg. We left, with everything on the table. We briefly mentioned our issues to the staff so they were aware of the situation. Another customer also had problems with their order previously. I wish for success for every business but something needs to change here or the success will not come! I pray they are able to make the necessary improvements to thrive.

Great restaurant! Fast and friendly service. The food was amazing as well, the fish and shrimp were crunchy without being overly breaded. Overall great experience!

Food is over priced. Refried beans were from a can. Tortillas were not fresh instantly got hard I had the fajita and shrimp, surf and turf. Whatever mess that was the lady almost burned my mom with the coffee pot. It was my birthday dinner with my family from out of town totally disgusting. We ended up having to get McDonald’s on the way home, waiter was halfway decent and then the staff covered over us like they were ready for us to leave. Highly disappointed.

I had the seafood sampler with fried shrimp and grilled shrimp. Both were good, but I preferred the grilled. Coleslaw was lacking something. Our server, David, was awesome and attentive.

Wheelchair accessibility: They have a ramp right in front of the handicap accessible parking spaces.

Tonight I had one if the best burgers I’ve had ever. It’s definitely one of the best on the island. The patty was cooked perfectly, seasoned well and juicy. The server was pleasant and efficient without being too hover-y. The fries were also very well seasoned and crispy. We will definitely be back!

Arrived at 10:45am for brunch. Finally ate 85m later. Service was friendly, but little-to-no acknowledgement of the wait. Not busy; three other tables when we walked in, 7 when we finally left. Food was fine.

The food was great, especially their coconut shrimp. Filled me up and was overall very satisfied with my experience. If you decide to come here I recommend asking for the server David. He was very attentive and was always there at any given moment. He made me and my family feel welcomed into the restaurant as though we were regulars and overall made it a great experience. I’d go back simply for the great service he provided!
