Ohhhhhhhh it was so good, I might want to go visit my MIL more often now. Hell, I might want to buy a 2nd home there and maybe retire if I can hang out in this lil dock area and eat ice cream.

They were pretty busy during Friday lunch before a big holiday weekend. We got our meal to go because I did not realize that they were not dog friendly. Completely my fault because I did not check ahead. I knew that surrounding places with outdoor dining were so I assumed incorrectly. Not a big deal since there are lots of benches in the area to sit by the waterfront. I ordered the Grouper Salad sandwich, my husband got Thee special that came with 1/2 lb. peel and eat shrimp, crab cake, corn on cob with sides of cocktail and tarter sauce, and my daughter got the regular lunch special with came with shrimp, crab cake, and sauces. Unfortunately, my daughter's lunch only had the 1/4 lb. of shrimp when she opened her box so she had to hoof it back and wait In line again to get her crab cake and sauces. Thankfully, I texted her a copy of the receipt because they gave her a bit of a run around regarding her missing items. I should have gone in there with her. Several staff members asked to see the receipt and then asked if she was sure of what she ordered. If I had known they were going to give her a time, I would have taken care of it myself. Don't get me wrong, I get it. I worked in food service for many years but when a customer shows you a receipt, then tells you there was mistake, and is polite about it, the customer usually doesnt have to explain the issue to multiple people. It is off putting to put the customer to task for your mistake. They gave her a free small drink, which she appreciated. Other than the order mishap, our food was pretty standard. The tarter sauce was nice and thick but was warm. The crab cake was better than some I have had but a bit dry. I cannot say the meal was worth what we spent. My Grouper sandwich was the highlight but for $10.95 and no side it won't be enough for us to return. I am glad we got to try them out while we were there. We have lots of friends that love it. I think our experience would have been better if we had eaten there instead.

I got a two scoop ice cream in a cup with 1 topping, and was charged 8$. A price that, given the location and the extra topping, altogether isn't too egregious and something maybe as a footnote to a usually curt review. Unfortunately, the "two scoop" ice cream portion was insultingly small. I even asked if it was two scoops to be sure, and all three of the staff burst out in laughter at either something one had said or the pathetic amount of ice cream I had been given (who knows). The two scoops didn't even breech the top of the lid of the cup. I could have gotten more ice cream, that tasted the same, for less at somewhere like Dairy Queen. The only reason it has 2 stars instead of 1 is because the small amount of ice cream I did receive was decent.
