The broth was very thin, almost like broth. The shrimp was almost certainly frozen and farmed, not deveined, and cooked to the point of mushiness. I would NOT order this again. BTW, there is a seafood market right next door with fresh shrimp. There was a lengthy po-boy menu and that would probably have been a better option.

I was not disappointed. The moment we pulled into the parking lot we were treated with vintage vw bugs. A very good omen. The menu is vast and it all sounded so wonderful. As we stood there pondering our choices I couldn't help but notice the cleanliness and the decide. But what instantly drew my attention was the food being handed out. No paper wrap. No styrofoam here. Real plates and real silverware. . But the mountain of mouth watering piping hot onion rings called my attention. The old hippy he decided on the lot o burger with fries. And I had the veal tenderloin with those onion rings. Of course we had to have two frosty mugs of the namesake. Frostop RootBeer. Now I am a patient person and I will wait for fresh hot food to be served. So I didn't notice the amount of time it took. But any wait at all would be well worth it. The food was delicious and took me back to my misspent youth. People I am telling you if you are looking for quality and quantity. This is the place for you. The cost was reasonable. The owners are friendly and patient. But the real reason to make the trip is the food. They are the leader in every category: cleanliness, ambience, quality, taste, customer service, and quirkiness. This place has been standing along time. I hope they stay around a whole lot longer. We will return.

It brought me back to when I was a kid when I tasted that nostalgic root beer. The onion rings were on point and so was the club. The kids did not leave a bite of their hamburgers, so it is safe to say they liked it and it was big enough for three teenage kids.

What a gem we stumbled on here! We had the sample platter for a starter, shrimp, fried tomatoes and lemon pepper wings. Simply amazing! 2 of us had the corn crab chowder which we agreed is one of the best soups we've ever had! For meals we had the Sammy Davis chicken (5*) the Sunrise burger (5*) and the fried ribs( was a 2nd choice as they were out of the snapper. To me, I rate a restaurant on how I feel when leaving, was not worth the money ? Would I come back? We absolutely will, may even do it tomorrow before we fly home as there are so many other meals I'd love to try. As a bonus, the chef came out to greet us and we couldn't compliment her enough.

I attended Hotworx's advertised Sip & See event and left feeling extremely disappointed. The…read morepurpose of this event was to welcome the community and attract new members prior to opening. However, my experience was the complete opposite. When I arrived, I spoke briefly with one of the owners and barely received a greeting in return. From that point on, there was no communication, no acknowledgment, and no guidance. I ended up walking through the facility on my own, and no one else made any effort to speak or engage with me. This did not feel like a business that is interested in welcoming or gaining members. What makes this more upsetting is that I had already secured a membership weeks ago, fully supporting the gym before opening. Being treated with such a lack of warmth and communication during an event meant to build excitement and community has caused me to seriously rethink my decision to join.
