Great place, great food, great service. The price matched the plate. I’d recommend the low country boil and the fried fish platter. Absolutely love.

I am in love with this place, the double cheeseburger is on point! Everything is pretty awesome, including the taste in music. Me, my bestie, and mom were grooving to some 80s! It was so much fun!

Seafood nachos are to die for!!! Huge portions, plate is size of XL pizza and lots of shrimp. Reasonable prices. Will definitely go again. Even after eating more than half I still had too many to fit in to go container.

Really good food and drinks, super fast service. I got a fried fish po-boy and my husband got some gumbo and oysters. The oysters were the freshest and most delicious we've ever tried. Loved the Bloody Mary drink, also!
