My mother is an avid sweet tea drinker and she was very disappointed in the sweet tea. I had gotten a Sprite My Son had gotten a Coke. and the drinks were flat. When I asked the waitress if the drinks were fountain, she said yes and I said OK. I believe something's off and she said oh yeah we know it's flat. So I said OK. Is there another option like a lemonade and then she said well it comes from the same machine so it's also gonna taste the same way.

Grilled chicken sandwich nothing special- not enough seasoning. Small indoor seating area- only 4-5 tables. We asked for food to go since we're visiting and they only had one very small container of ketchup they could give us Overall: The pulled pork sandwich is the highlight, but the rest of the meal and the limited seating make it a mediocre experience. Convenient for a quick stop, but not a standout dining destination. Based on this, I give this establishment a 2.5 out of 5 stars.

A bit pricey but again, you're paying for the location. Good music in the background and friendly service. Would stop again.

The wings were good, though the sauce was drizzled on rather than fully tossed. Cons:The fries were just okay. Despite staying to enjoy the live music, our wings and fries were served in to-go containers, and we weren't provided plates--expected to eat straight from the boxes, even though plates were clearly available behind the bar. Beer and cider selections were also more limited than expected. Overall: The venue has a great atmosphere, live entertainment, and decent wings, but the limited drink selection and the inconvenience of eating from to-go containers indoors significantly affected the overall experience. Therefore, I need to give this one a 3 out of 5.

This grilled chicken sandwich is housed between two brioche buns and includes melty Swiss cheese, shredded lettuce, tomato, and mayo. It is hands down the BEST tasting grilled chicken sandwich I've ever had, and I get it every time. It comes with fries too. Onto the drinks... they have their own signature cocktails including dockside punch (like watermelon jolly ranchers? I found your drink) and the orange crush (orange juice cocktail fresh DELIGHT)! Cocktails are served in sturdy large plastic cups and easy to carry around. Most of the servers are very friendly and helpful. The atmosphere is so cool.

Our service was good, and our waitress was attentive and helpful. We had an appetizer platter.

We also ordered the Spicy Steamed Shrimp. Unfortunately, they weren't spicy at all. They were basically steamed shrimp with a little Old Bay sprinkled on them. We mentioned it to our waitress, and she brought us some extra Old Bay to make them tastier. They also had what looked like a really fun bar menu with some unique drink options. We weren't drinking, so we didn't try any, but there were definitely several that caught our eye. There was also a live band playing at the Tiki Bar, which added a lot to the atmosphere and made the evening feel even more relaxed and fun.
