Eliot PardoApril 11, 2015Everything is so mothershwackin' good! The burgers (dem buns!), the tortilla soup was fantastic, buffalo blasters were a spicy little treat... can't wait to try more stuff!
Michael MorganAugust 24, 2021Great food! Affordable too. I also like the fact that they serve alcohol here and have a pretty good size selection of beers on tap. The fish tacos are BOMB! The burgers looked great too.
KatNovember 18, 2014The beef is too dry, the grilled fish would be fantastic if they made it much less salty, so I settle for the chicken which are great. I prefer the fish if they could fix them. Great little place!- Kevin DulinDecember 31, 2016Beef wasn't great in the burger but the bun was great. Fish tacos were fantastic. Good soup and beer list, and great value for money!
April WaltersApril 2, 2020Everything about this restaurant is so damn perfect. The crews also are very accommodating and never tried to do unnecessary works that bothered me. I highly recommend this restaurant to everyone.
Ed BurckhardtOctober 29, 2015Killer Shwack fish tacos no breading or deep frying very tasty. BBQ chicken salad just plain awesome! Real friendly crew they make you feel like family.- Travis McclendonJanuary 13, 2016My "Big Al's bacon burger" was very tasty and juicy. Must double up on the meat patty. Cold beer on tap is a winner!!!
Billy AmpAugust 22, 2019One of the best Salads I’ve ever had! Fresh, nice outdoor sitting after a great beach day!
- Robert DeshaiesAugust 3, 2015burgers, fish and breakfast all freshly made, tasty and quality. Prices are very reasonable and a great locals spot.
David SkinnerApril 16, 2017The pulled pork tacos were excellent. Don't forget the $1 cookies. Fries are great too.
TimNovember 15, 2019Great local restaurant! Burgers were really good, likely the rest of the food is too!- Get the Shaka Fish Tacos, you won't regret it. They're spicy so ask for light Pico if you can't handle it.
CharlieJune 29, 2014Very Delicious whole wheat Breakfast Wrap Egg whites, Spinach. mushroom and ham. Delicious Salsa.
QuitoAugust 26, 2012Me and my wife always make a point to stop here on our way back home. The turkey burgers are outstanding and the service is great!!!
Bridget WillardFebruary 17, 2014Try the Feta Spin Fins (appetizer). They're like spinach dip in wontons!
