Cool atmosphere and great service. I got the "Lobstah Roll" and it was really good. It's a cold sandwich on a hogie bun. My Moscow Mule was good and so were the hush puppies and Konk fritters. I'd definitely recommend eating here. Prices aren't crazy...Read More

Option of eating inside, outside. And.....over to the "other side" which is a indoor bar. The inside was very nice, family friendly. Outdoors was a nice beachy feel. Then the "other side" bar, is definitely more of a 21 and over astomphere. ...Read More
