Donovan is a wonderful guy ! Helped us with the menu, stated the days specials and made some good recommendations . The ambiance is nice. The food is delicious with good flavors. Cornbread with whipped butter is out of the world. Great sea food spot.

This is a favorite for my wife and me. We eat here on a fairly regular basis and love their food and drinks. Atmosphere is great whether you’re inside or out. It’s always awesome to take a post-dinner walk down to Reed’s Lake as well!
