This is some good barbecue. I ordered the chicken and…read morepulled pork combo with collard greens and potato salad. The chicken was five-star worthy, especially with the tasty BBQ sauce. The collard greens really surprised me...in the best way. I usually think of them as just a side, but these were so good I could have made a meal out of them alone. The potato salad was solid, too. I personally prefer a bit more egg and onion, but it definitely tasted fresh and homemade. I got my order to go, and when I unpacked it at the picnic table, I realized there was no silverware. A small hiccup, but it did make things a little awkward..I ended up improvising with a straw. Not a big deal, just something to double-check on takeout orders. Overall, a great barbecue spot. I'm looking forward to coming back to try the ribs and maybe some dessert next time.

This place was literally empty at 9:00 a.m. on a Friday morning for their breakfast which should say everything we should have known we should have turned around before eating food that made us feel ill... . It seem to be run on a skeleton staff of two or three people and was not very clean I should have looked at the negative Google reviews before going here because there are a lot of them and they seem to be valid with an owner who then attacks people who leave negative reviews... What a horrible horrible place.... Don't take your hard earned money here bring it to restaurants that care and serve quality homemade food not cafeteria garbage

The pulled pork was flavorful and tender, the sauce (there were four choices) was perfection, and the Mac and cheese was incredible. It was cheesy, thick, and delicious with big soft pasta. Wow! The place is very small, but the people that work there are so nice. The food was made fast and it was amazing. Perfect for when you need some good barbecue!

The building nearby is currently under construction, but surely the location would be much more welcoming once the construction is complete. We ordered the smoked fish dip to share, and I had the fish and chips. The smoked fish dip came with round crackers. I liked that it had a hint of smoky flavor without being overpowering. I'm always a fan of fish and chips, and the portion was generous! The only downside was that the fries were placed under the fish, so by the time I got to them they were a bit greasy and soggy. The view is truly a great selling point -- we spotted birds, fish, and what we believe were dolphins!

We ordered, fried gator tail, my husband had a tuna poke bowl and I had the grouper bites with an order of french fries. Everything was very good. Service was quick friendly and from our table we saw the beautiful Kings Bay and it was so pretty.. we didn't realize we could sit at the tiki bar, which was right down the path and sit closer to the water, but we'll have to come back to this place and try that out. It's all the same food both places. Everything we ordered you had a choice of fried, blackened, or grilled Our server came back three times to see if everything was good was very attentive and everybody there seemed to work like a team, which makes it nice. .Our total bill came to $69. If we would've used cash, we would've saved three dollars. They also have a gift shop with a bunch of different shirts and Stuffed manatees. You also can book to take a cruise right there out on the bay or to go swimming with the manatees. There is also an attached hotel in boat docks. We will definitely be back there!!!
