It's not always on the menu, but the Orange Crush is a super refreshing cocktail.

It's a nice atmosphere, but if you're serious about your seafood-don't eat here.
Liz SesslerApril 17, 2011
You can pass on the lobster roll, but the scallops were great!
Christina LMarch 28, 2010

Note to self: Hurricanes & Hush Puppies... Yes.

Pass this one up. Fries and shrimp were mediocre at best. The hostesses up front were uncoordinated and sat a party before us that came in after. Waitress never filled up my overpriced fountain drink.

The drink "Tee Time" tastes like sweet tea... Try one, you will enjoy it. Try two, you will be drunk.
Justin DuffySeptember 11, 2012
I don't even like peel and eat shrimp but damn these are good.
Rory ParnessMay 24, 2014
The waitress sold us on the lobster roll, which was OK but the bread tasted a day old.

Honestly, the food ISN'T. THAT. GOOD. This restaurant is a tourist trap.That being said, the bar is great and a few of the bar apps are good. Maybe a tad overpriced, but good on happy hour special

Not sure who called this place a rock club. More like a tourist trap. Nice place to drink, but don't bather with the food. Much better seafood up the street.
