We sat on the deck at sunset and had a beautiful view of the water! The grilled seafood Captain's platter was plenty of food and was delicious!

The fried shrimp were excellent, not overly breaded. Great views of the creek and tidal marsh. Our server was spot on. (This review is for the restaurant upstairs)

Fantastic seafood meals. Super friendly staff, and the new server, Adaron, was so friendly and quick to bring us everything. He checked on our table at least five times and was amazing. The shrimp were plump and perfectly grilled. I did not expect that in the tacos, but they were the same shrimp that my husband got in the grilled basket. A really cool vibe to the place and I imagine in season the outdoor deck eating is awesome. I also imagine this place gets packed in summer. We are here in March, but I can say that compared to the other restaurants that we have gone to this week, this is the best deal and the best seafood. (We've paid a lot more for lesser quality meals. I don't want to name them because all the businesses are struggling, and it is off-season, and the meals weren't bad- just saying this is THE PLACE to go to.)

Fantastic food and service right on the water. Highly recommend the tuna bites appetizer. The wings were perfectly cooked. My family had the chilled crab dip, wings, oyster po boy, fried fish tacos, seafood nachos, and fried buffalo shrimp. I have celiac disease and was able to eat gluten free with a very happy belly. Will be back. Quite the smorgasbord . Kathy was our server and she is a southern sweetheart.

The food was awesome. What made it better is that we stopped there because we got in late and they were one of the few places still open. They had just closed the kitchen and opened it back up in order to make sure that my family and another group didn't have to go search for something to eat. Thank you so much my kids were hungry!

Amazing service! The host that seated us was very personable and pleasant to talk with. Our server, Addison, was awesome and suggested local brews for my husband to try. My husband had the best po boy and I had the you pick 2 shrimp and scallops that were hot and cooked to perfection. Fries were hot, cole slaw was sweet and tangy. THANK YOU!!! We will be coming back here.

The food here is amazing. We went last night and I got the grilled scallops. They were awesome. My husband got the pick 2 and got fried shrimp and scallops. My parents got the flounder sandwich and fried shrimp. The scallops and shrimp were a lot larger than we were expecting. Unfortunately my toddler who is allergic to eggs and tree nuts didn't have a lot of options. What she would eat she couldn't eat and what she could eat she wouldn't eat. Other than that everything was great. The waitresses were super friendly and the food was so good that we came back tonight and got the surf n turf burgers to go. Definitely try that burger. So good!
