Went here today for the first time and was pleasantly surprised. Service and food were both great! Crab legs and steamed shrimp were delicious. Will def be back.

No longer a seafood place. They kept the same staff but are now serving Italian fare. Too many other good choices nearby. Roma's, Mad Italian, and Maria's Old Italian are not afraid. The glowfish aquarium is particularly out of place.

Lack of staff is one thing but quality of the food is another. The food doesn't taste the same as before the remodel. Will be getting seafood elsewhere from now on.

Food was so-so. Lighthouse chicken was great, but the sides were cold. Hubs for the all you can eat shrimp. We were told that the first batch was overcooked so it took quite a while to receive our order. When his shrimp finally came, they too were overcooked. It's possible we went on a bad night. More people were at the outside bar area than inside.

This place is awesome. The food was great and the service was better. The blonde bartender, didnt get her name, always asked if i was good needed anything. The other crew was just as nice. But man the food left me speachless!! Buttery and very fresh!! Told all my trucker friends about this place. Thanks again!!

Very friendly staff and clean restaurant for low key eats. Food was good with complimentary hush puppies (tho I wish they wouldn't fry them in the same oil as onion rings).Full bar for those who imbibe.2 minutes off rt-95 with easy on/off...and a wayyyy better choice than a welcome center or rest stop.

Good food, great service, despite some of the negative reviews (mostly pertaining to service) I have eaten there 2 times, both waitress were excellent, food came to table in a timely manner and was cooked appropriately, will return

Perfect place for out-of-towners!We were driving from Philadelphia to Charleston and spent the night in the area.We didn't want to stay in the room and order room service so we looked on Google maps.Friendly employees!Delicious food!Reasonable prices!

This was down right the worst sea food restaurant I've ever been to. My wife asked for catfish nuggets,and I don't know what type of fish they gave her but it definitely was not catfish. My experience here was absolutely awful. I'm from Mississippi, the catfish state, and I think it's disgraceful the food I received her and very expensive. My fried shrimp was precooked shrimp that was battered and re fried. Just terrible that this is Virginia seafood. I would give them no stars if it were an option. Do better Virginia!!!

We kind of ended up here because the place we were going was PACKED... so we looked up what was close. We were back and forth because of the mixed reviews.... But... okay So, we went on a Sunday and we went as soon as they opened up. We were the first ones there. They give you complimentary hush puppies and they were so delicious!! My boyfriend got the seafood platter. The crab cake was super salty... but it had a good flavor. The calamari was just okay. It was fresh... but just okay... and then he had large shrimp but they didn't seem large. They just seemed regular. The onion rings were great though! Overall for his meal, it was okay. His mom had a cheeseburger and fries. They made it exactly how she asked. Well done with her selection of toppings. She was pleased with her meal. I had high expectations for the pork chop meal and was completely let down. It honestly didn't taste like anything. It was fried well. Like not overcooked or anything... it just had no flavor at all. Just tasted as if it was coated in plain white flour and fried up. I had sweet potato fries with it and they were okay. Normal sweet potato fries. The best item we had all together was the fried catfish nuggets... Man oh man were they delicious!! I would go back just to eat that. They were cooked to PERFECTION!! The 4 stars really came from the catfish nuggets and how fresh and delicious they were and from our waitress. She was soft spoken and just so sweet!! A little pricy. Our bill was like $86. But they had a sign up saying that they will give you a 5% discount if you use cash. I'm not sure if everything was fresh because they had just opened.... But overall, i was pleased and I would go back.
