Cranberry Margarita - did not taste the cranberry at all. Fish tacos - very bland, possibly using frozen fish. Very dated decor. Server never came back to see if I needed anything until she brought the check.

The seafood served here is fresh and cooked perfectly. They are very generous with crab meat. The crab cakes are almost all crab meat unlike some restaurants where they are mostly breading. I enjoyed the broiled seafood platter which included shrimp, flounder, scallops, and a crab cake. I also enjoyed the potato cake. It is made with shredded potatoes instead of mashed and they are mixed with cheese and served with sour cream. The restaurant is located right on the water. I highly recommend it.

I ordered the fried oysters. It was 1/4 oyster to 3/4 breading. Very disappointing. A waste of time and money.

Fish taco was bland and 2 pcs of fried lump of battered fish. The cabbage was dry/old. Couldn't tell if the mini cup of salsa was for chips or fish. Burger was decent, nothing special. Good fries though!

Grilled fish taco was like something from WaWa.. Two pieces of fish no bigger than a fish stick for two tacos. Stale chips on side, tiny bit of salsa loaded with red onion. Sickening sweet coleslaw on taco instead of shredded fresh cabbage, no seasoning whatsoever and overwhelming taste of stale sweet coleslaw on cold flour taco shell. Waitress was surly and extremely slow and place Was not busy. Haven’t been in years and they aren’t serving quality food any more. Come on you all can do better. Decided to reschedule an informal group Of 23 to a DeadRise for a birthday dinner.

Actually the food is really good if you can get what you want. If you come after 7 be ready, they are out of everything. I had a gift certificate for $150 I came in tonight and left with approximately $55. I arrived after 7, no baked potatoes so I changed my order to blackened salmon and a salad. Wasn’t long before the waitress came back and said, “I’m sorry we are out of Salmon.” At this point I should have left but no … I got something that I wasn’t in the mood for; Crab dip and a salad. Yes, the dip is good but not when you aren’t in the mood. I just want to know why the MANAGER doesn’t know how to order enough baked potatoes and salmon. I actually wouldn’t have even came had I known. I wasted the rest of my gift card on something I didn’t even want. The waitress was very nice, it was not her fault and the food if you can get what you want is amazing. I will not be visiting for a while, I’ll go to HARPOON LARRYS, I have NEVER been told they were out of anything , especially baked potatoes 🤯

The food and service were really good! I had the shrimp tacos. The staff were nice and it was the perfect amount of noise, quiet enough to talk.

My favorite spot, corner of the bar looking out on the water, cold drink and some good food.

We just wanted soup & probably the fish tacos and a drink. We were told no she crab soup because it was part of the special. Previously, the waitress had said since only 2 , should be fine. Then yesterday I called to order take out & was told no take out after 5 p.m. It was literally 5 p.m. We might look for a little more flexible and welcoming place. We usually go every weekend and sometimes, more often. So, drive away clients ... Who's the manager/supervisor? Need a new one.
