I am not going to rate this place any less than four stars, because I do not feel have tried a…read morevariety of the options this restaurant has to offer. Besides, the customer service was friendly and I interacted with a patron while I waited for my order, and our interaction was pleasant and informative.
I drive by this place quite often, but never know if it's open or not.
Well yesterday, I saw cars parked out front and I had time... I pulled right on in.
There is another restaurant located next door, but I have yet to see the doors swing open.
Nevertheless, I arrived about 3pm give or take a few minutes and two others were already inside.
I checked out the menu for several minutes before deciding to order.
Luckily an older gentleman was present, I was able to ask him "what's good here" - he likes the fish and mac n cheese.
While I was not in the mood for either, I will keep them on the radar on my next visit.
Everything is fried here, unless you opt for the crabs or shrimp in which they can be prepared steamed.
Well, I always love to try one's crabcake... so I ordered 1 crabcake and I have been longing to try someone's crab egg rolls... so I ordered 1 crab egg roll please.
While waiting, I learned about the restaurant's history and other staples in Suffolk. This man was super friendly and even picked up my vibe... "you're not from Suffolk, are you" - no sir. He could tell.
Evidently the people from the area can be spotted easily.
I waited maybe 5 minutes, and my order was ready.
The restaurant has some protocols in place to limit interaction with others and the employees.
Which is completely understandable.
I ended up trying my food about 20 minutes later.
The temp was still warm... a good thing.
I bit into the crab roll... I really couldn't tell if it was actually crab or just a regular egg roll.
After two bites, maybe three, I determined, this may be crab. Nevertheless, it wasn't too noticeable... not sure if I would try that again. I may have to order a regular one and a crab one to really tell the difference.
Onto the crabcake...
Well...it definitely has a lot of filler. In this case, I am not surprised by the cost anymore. I thought the price was a steal for a crabcake... but now I see, the price is right. You get what you pay for, but I was hoping for a steal.
Overall, I wouldn't count this place out, but next time, I am looking fwd to trying the fish and scallops.
Again, everything is fried, so I must be in the mood to try it, because if not I will not be able to give my totally honest review.
I so prefer steamed seafood, broiled, blackened even, but I will keep you posted.
In the meantime, check out the hours, because they are very limited.
Take care of yourself and enjoy life :)
