Fresh, delicious, and absolutely worth it! The oysters were super fresh, and almost every dish we tried was amazing. The day we went, they had a special deal—shrimp cocktail for only $10—and it was so fresh and tasty that we wanted to order more! 🦐✨

Oysters 🤌 Had half a dozen, then went straight for a dozen more! Saturday sunset vibes were amazing 🌅. Busy but still got a table for our big group. Live music topped it all off.

Awesome beach side seafood restaurant. We sat ourselves outside, they had live music and cool picnic benches. Food was fresh and delicious. Clam chowder soup was amazing, as was the smoked fish dip! Blacked grouper sandwich was tasty. Highly recommend checking out this spot!

Rose was amazing! We simply love her service. The atmosphere in this place is unbeatable. We come here every weekend over summer and we can’t get enough of it. Definitely recommend and don’t forget to look for Rose.

Great as Always! We like sitting inside at the bar because it is quieter and cooler. But, outside is fun if you want a little bit more of a party! Food is Awesome!
