Our crab legs were slightly overcooked. There wasn’t a whole lot of flavor on the muscles we ordered in wine and garlic butter sauce, and the salmon was cooked perfectly. It’s was good just not great! The staff that interacted with our table were all very friendly and

Your typical seafood chain restaurant. Nothing special. Convenient parking behind the restaurant.

Food literally took forever. Our waitress didn’t use anything to record but memory our order so it came out wrong, and hair in wings. Don’t recommend anymore.

A pleasant surprise on Main Street: good seafood at reasonable prices. The Pepperjack Crab soup was was tasty and had some zip, though the portion was somewhat meager (see pic). The Bayside oysters were terrific, served with lemon, cocktail sauce, and horseradish. The Bloody Mary was bold, spicy, and amply decorated. For dessert, the made-in-house key lime pie was very good, with a crust whose flavor stood up on its own. Coffee was OK.Service was excellent, attentive without being intrusive.I wish there was more attention paid to the decor and ambiance; I felt like I was eating good restaurant-quality food in a frat cafeteria.All of the above plus tax came out to just $40 - a great value.Parking: I was surprised to find many open parking spots right on the Main St. But it was before 5, and the place got much busier later.

Awful Arthur's restaurant offers an engaging Monday night experience with their entertaining Music Bingo, infusing an extra dose of fun into the week. The staff's friendly demeanor and deep knowledge enhance the dining journey, ensuring a pleasant visit.The array of beer options caters to diverse tastes, providing a refreshing accompaniment to the meals. While the atmosphere might feel a tad awkward and dull at times, the specific events, like Music Bingo nights, compensate for this, making the experience enjoyable.A notable highlight is their menu's flexibility; for those avoiding seafood, every dish offers an alternative meat option that surpasses expectations, elevating the dining experience. Awful Arthur's might have a subdued ambiance, but the events and menu adaptability make it a worthwhile spot for a memorable night out.

Great casual, tasy food, with friendly waitress. We wanted something quick, unique, and healthy. We ordered a salad with fresh tuna, and a crab cake sandwhich. Both were delicious. Our waitress was excellent. Others near us, with a bigger appetite ordered steak, shrim, and dessers. All looked and smelled amazing....if im in town again I"ll def. Come back and try those.
