I cannot say enough wonderful things about this restaurant. Ample parking and quick seating started off the great experience. The restaurant is right on the beach for a relaxing view while you dine.

I wish they had a reservation system but it was first come first serve. We were given a pager and quoted a 2 Hour wait.

We were seated right away and we’re taken to a covered outdoor table. Our drinks came out fast and they were tasty. We got some of the insulated mugs, and the quality is really nice.

The food was not the best although the pulled pork nachos were good. The ribs did not have a grilled taste at all. It seemed like they had been boiled, cooked in the oven and smothered in sauce. They give you a very good portion of ribs in the bucket. I had the baked beans and they were good. The po boy was just okay, it probably could have been better but they place all of its dressings (mayo, lettuce etc) on the side, which is helpful to someone that likes it plain (me) but for those who like for everything to marinate together (my friend) it doesn’t work. The drinks were good.

This spot has a perfect combination of a tourist location but still has great quality of food and service, being off the beach. First time here, highly recommend if you are in the area. Food was fresh and hot, alot of outside seating, great overall.

Alligator bites and the Redneck lemonade are a must! The Tuna Dip was okay I’ve had better at “Off the Hook Bar and Grill” if you are seeking tuna dip. But overall the Food and service was great. The server was polite and very social! Food was fast as well so we weren’t left starving! I believe they have 3 different seating areas so you’ll find a place to sit and eat!

First off the place is HUGE! But don’t be worried. They are well staffed to handle the crowds! The service was amazing! The food was out within minutes through out all the courses. Absolutely delicious! The Mahi with mango salsa was the best I’ve had and I’m from the coast. The local beer selection was amazing also with tips from our waitress what to get. Decided to run to my car to switch into my bathing suit because it ended up a beautiful day and unfortunately the wait staff cleared my table but by the time I got back the waitress had fresh drinks waiting for us. Hands down this place is a 10/10!

So what you cookin!?!? Brown
First Timer Review, wait time was quicker than stated; so that was a plus! Our waiter was very nice and pleasant and was good with giving suggestions. We enjoyed seafood on this day, which consisted of the seafood platter with shrimp, fish, clam strips, scallops, cole slaw and fries (golden fried). Also pictured, popcorn shrimp basket and Frozen Daquiris which were A1. Food was fresh and drinks were refreshing. I will return

Very enjoyable first time dining here! We went right when they opened which was suggested to us as we tried going the night before and there was a 2.5 hr wait. We were seated immediately the day we got there right when they opened. We sat outside right near the water & beach. The service was very quick. The food was great! Excellent gator bites, very tender. Shrimp was good. We will most definitely dine again when back in the area.

Great place to have a drink and get a bite to eat! Love the deck overlooking the ocean. The area is very busy during summer.
