We first visited this restaurant in April 2025 and it was absolutely amazing - great beer…read moreselection, incredible food, fair prices, and excellent service. We were so impressed that we recommended this place to multiple people and were genuinely excited to come back last Sunday. Unfortunately, this visit was a complete disappointment from start to finish. The service was noticeably worse, the beer selection was extremely limited compared to before, and the food was honestly some of the worst seafood we've had in years. We ordered the fried calamari and the mixed grilled seafood plate. The calamari was chewy, flavorless, and the batter had an unpleasant texture. The mixed seafood plate was even worse - the oysters looked, smelled, and tasted awful, and the fish, shrimp, stuffed crab and scallops were completely bland. Even the fried okra, which should be an easy Southern staple, was disappointing. We left wondering if they changed chefs or management because the difference from our first experience was shocking. Even my mom, who is far from a picky eater, could barely eat her food. It's genuinely upsetting because this used to be a place we loved and enthusiastically recommended to others. Sadly, after this experience, we won't be returning.

The service was excellently provided by a very nice and friendly server who had superb recommendations for appetizers and entries. The 1/2 order crab dip was a meal in itself, it was more than adequate for three people. The fried shrimp, as always, was excellent. A very light batter, fried to perfection. The blackened redfish, with artichoke hearts, grape tomatoes, capers with spinach and crème sauce, over a bed of rice, was one of the best fish entries I've had, anywhere. Just fyi, if you want a nice casual place to go and have a few beers, sandwiches, whatever, this is the place. If you want the fine dining, in a casual atmosphere, this is the place also. You can order anything off the menu from the Owl Cafe, which is upstairs. Their "finer dining" establishment. Go and enjoy.

We tried the crab dip and it was pretty good (tasted like hummus?) with house-made chips. I got a cup of gumbo that was warm (not hot) and a bit salty, but still enjoyable.

We ordered the Nole Burger (my husband's fav: BBQ, onion rings, jalepenos). It was excellent. I got Kickin Shrimp which were good; they had a spicy sriracha aioli that made it more like eating a buffalo boneless wing (not a bang bang style shrimp with a sweet and sour like some places). I actually wanted to order the Reuben but it was sold out! They said it's popular and they hand slice their meat. Next time!

There are some really tasty options here and service was good. We even got used to the frequent thud of bowling balls being dropped on the lanes to where we hardly noticed the sound. The charcuterie board for 2 was generous for $16 and was enjoyed throughout the meal. The Sully Sullenberger burger was tasty and the fries that came with were outstanding. I wouldn't come here again without getting those fries. They didn't need any ketchup. It's going to be noisy because this is a bowling alley/arcade after all. There is that thump of bowling balls hitting the lanes as well as plenty of kids. If you come for the food you can seek out the dining area back behind the bar to minimize the noise.
