The place is a great stop when traveling through the DELMARVA. there a a real fun roadside attraction vibe and the decor is perfect!!! Don't change a thing. I loved all the foreign money on display. The lady behind the counter was a superstar she deserves a raise. We wanted to sample a bunch of items and she helped us get what we wanted without too much extra food and kept the price reasonable. We sat outside and she even ran the food to our table. Nice touch! Man the crab stuffed shrimp was delicious and super fresh. The Mrs had the crab cake and I tried it, top shelf shellfish!

It's a long drive into the middle of nowhere to a very charming beachfront town but it was a dreary and rainy day. We easily parked in the large gravel lot and walked inside and were immediately sat at a table by the water with a lovely view. Our waitress was prompt and super friendly. We chose to get the crab hush puppies and were thrilled to see they were made fresh and hot to order and tasted phenomenal. We devoured them quickly. We decided to split the fish taco meal since it was lunch for us and it came with two large-sized tacos and cole slaw. It was a nice portion for an entree and was easily enough for both of us for a lighter lunch. Really delicious sweet tea so I took some to go. Small gift shop attached and tons of seating inside and expansive views of the water with a back wall of windows all around.

So happy we stopped here! Great food, great view, and great service. Best and biggest oysters…read moreI've had in a while. Make sure to give them a try.

Date of Visit: 7/29/2025 Wednesday…read more Stop No.3 on the Foodie Trail After having a wonderful morning driving the back roads of NC I finally came to the Bay Bridge Tunnel (BBT). After crossing it was getting close to noon and again I investigated another place, this one. After reading a couple reviews and viewing some pics, after all I am a dive connoisseur, I needed to stop here on my way north. After navigating US13 I found the place, just how it appeared on line. Made my way inside and from the moment I entered I knew it was a locals and I was welcomed. I started with a Rolling Rock in a bottle not an oil can. Not even looking at the menu I ordered a cheeseburger and fries. The bartender even read some specials to me but no I didn't take her advice. She had mentioned spaghetti and meatballs w/garlic bread. The burger take a bit to cook, it was a fat one. The burger arrived and it looked great w/LTO. Then someone ordered the special and it came out. Don't get me wrong the burger was grand but I did just have a burger the day before and spaghetti and meat balls looked better. Next time I'll listen. The burger was cooked properly and the fries were crisp and puffy. I would order again for sure. Lesson learned, take the special when out of town. Peace.

What a great find in the cute town of Urbanna!…read more Stopped in for a late lunch on a beautiful afternoon and it was still packed inside. After eating the yummy food, I can see why it was still busy! Drinks has a fresh squeezed limeade and hubs had a beer and we both enjoyed them. Shared the pulled pork sandwich and tried both BBQ sauces and all of the above was excellent and a good portion of pork. The house made chips were also good and we got a side of their homemade ranch and honey mustard to dip the chips in! Dessert did not disappoint as we also shared the amoretto pecan pie! So good! They make all desserts in houses and it was hard to choose just one! Just means we have to go back to try another one! Service at first was a bit slow due to the restaurant being packed, but our server was kind and sweet, as well as apologized for a little bit of a wait. There is a large dining room, with a few high top tables and a mixture of large and smaller tables for seating, as well as a large bar area. Will be back to try more of the yummy food and pies!

I think this time was even better! We arrived around 230 on a Saturday, lucky for us happy hour started at 3 and we had a 30 minute wait for 6 people. Literally perfect timing because no one was waiting before us and about 10-20 minutes later the waiting area became packed for that 3 o clock happy hour. Side note: happy hour is from 3-7, 7 days a week! The service was phenomenal, the whole staff was so nice and accommodating. While we waited for our table, we were able to order a cocktail from one of the waitresses. We also had a baby with a stroller and they made sure we had plenty of room once we were seated at our table. The food was amazing, I'm a fan of cooked oyster but i decided to be a little spontaneous and try them raw. I was pleasantly surprised at how fresh and clean tasting these oysters were. It reminded me of eating sashimi. My wife and father in law had the lobster rolls, they both loved them! My son had the double cheeseburger from the happy hour menu, literally cannot beat this deal. $6 double cheeseburger with fries on the boardwalk is unimaginable lol. I had the Nashville hot chicken, which was good but maybe could've used a little more flavor. But the quality of the sandwich as a whole was spot on. I really don't have any complaints, this was the highlight of our day. My in laws live in Wisconsin but they travel a bunch and they said that these oysters were some of the best they had ever had. They would never see 1$ oysters where they live, so I'm glad we were able to come here and create this memory together. If you've ever debated whether taking the trip to the strip is worth it, it is! Definitely check this place out!
