Betty HopkinsApril 21, 2017Love this place! The food is always plentiful and I think the prices are reasonable for what you get. I had crab legs and steamed shrimp. Both were great!
We find you get excellent service, sizable portions and delicious seafood. My only dislike is that they use dill pickles in the tartar sauce. Tartar sauce is so much tastier made with sweet pickles
DavidFebruary 1, 2014While some call the atmosphere charming, I call it run down, crowded and a potential fire hazard. But the fried oysters are delicious!
- Andrea McCoyAugust 4, 2013Crab legs and boiled shrimp are always cooked to perfection. Love that the veggie of the day choices are not drowned in butter.

Alicia DunnApril 29, 2013Blue collar seafood dive shack heaven of happiness. This gets my thumbs up.
- Crabs are awesome and fish and chips are one of the closest to English I have found !!
Rachael A.July 20, 2013Two thumbs up!! Great food and super friendly service from both the servers and bartenders :)
KellyFebruary 5, 2017The lobster mac and cheese was good, but some of the food was lukewarm, which was a let down.
Tits McGeeJune 16, 2015FYI the shrimp is not deveined. If that bothers you as much as it does me don't order it.
Tia StoreyJuly 16, 2011I've definitely had better...sad to say because I was looking forward to this place..
