    Gritts a ya ya, southern rolls, calamari, grouper, all very good. Must eat here if you are anywhere close. Best dinner I've had while on vacation in Santa Rosa. Nice shops to visit while you wait.

    The grits and anything are great. Shrimp YaYa is their version of shrimp and grits. They also sometimes have a special that is the fish of the day and grits, which I also loved.

    Excellent blackened grouper with house salad (I substituted the house salad in place of the two sides). Perfect! Paired wonderfully with a Chardonnay (buttery). Grits and soul rolls were excellent too

    This place boasts an awesome Bloody Mary & Mojito with muddled fruit. Both are a must if you enjoy alcohol. If you are dining there, I understand the seafood is quite nice & they are pet friendly.

    I love the happy hour! A dozen oysters for $5 Yea! Good drinks 1/2 price too! The artichoke / collard dip was unique. Calamari was crisp and delicious. Well done!.

    The grits are to die for!! The oysters are on point. The key lime pie is a must, and I'd also like to recommend the pineapple mojito. Amazing!! ****
