Tammy C: Everyone says the she crab soup is spot on, but I thought it was a bit salty. The crab cakes were great, as was the salmon. Fried oyster salad could've come with crispier oysters!
Samantha 💃 Lopez: Tyler, the waitress was THE best! Everyone's food was amazing... fried oysters, fried green tomatoes, grits.... YUM!
David Eisenberg: Fried oysters and crab cakes.
David Heiser: Great food and great service. Lots of local seafood. We loved the clams and BBQ Tuna with fried oysters, bacon, and mustard sauce.
Nancy Margolis: They were extremely friendly and very helpful in making a choice on what to eat. We had the tuna melt and the hamburger. A very good choice indeed..
