    Sunset from the dock

    Food was as fresh as fresh can be and cooked to perfection The staff was very friendly and helpful with the choice of food that you would enjoy The view from the restaurant on the water is wonderful we caught the sunset from their dock it was amazing Don't miss this place it is worth the drive plus the town is a real special place

    Toasted coconut Mai Tai
    Tanya B.

    We loooved this restaurant ! The people that worked there were so welcoming! I wish I had gotten all of their names . But literally everyone we spoke with was so friendly I felt like I was their friend from childhood . We got two cocktails one was the toasted coconut Mai tai which was really good but the sea side mojito I think won with the fresh mint . All of our food was excellent! My ribeye was the best in my opinion. But everyone's food was so good . We got two desserts the tuxedo bomb and the lemon blue berry cake . The view was amazing! Such a wonderful night

    Local seafood and friendly faces paired with a gorgeous marsh view! The scallops were perfectly seared and seasoned to perfection. If you are looking for good food and a great atmosphere, this is it!

    Fresh Ahi Tuna appetizer !

    Huge kudos & a big shout out to Locals for lunch today! I especially want to recognize Sydney for her kindness, calm presence, genuine care, and professionalism while serving my father and me. She truly made us feel welcome and well taken care of. Shout out to the Chef for the incredible Ahi Tuna and perfectly grilled Cobia -- absolutely delicious! And compliments to the entire lunch team for creating such a warm and memorable dining experience today. Thank you again -- we truly enjoyed every minute!

    We just left after a wonder lunch! Alex was our server and she was absolutely amazing! Attentive, friendly, and overall just great. Our food came out in a timely manner and was delicious! Hot and fresh! Prices are very reasonable. We are visiting from out of town and this establishment defiantly gives southern charm and hospitality. Will come back again when we visit again!

    Great spot with good views and food. Nice selection of beers. The crab bisque was outstanding, creamy but not too creamy. Bacon wrapped scallops were also outstanding. Crab cake sandwich was plentiful. Oyster Po Boy was really good with a nice amount of oysters on buttered bread with tomato and lettuce. Roe was our server and ready for business.

    Wow! Incredible! My wife and I both had blackened scallops with baked potatoes. She had the asparagus and I had mac-n-cheese, and everything was out of this world. For dessert we split a chocolate bomb and it was tremendous. Our waittress Tara was the best! We so enjoyed walking around the landing watching the sun set, and the gorgeous gazebo and water fountain.

    Thank you to the wonderful staff for helping me celebrate my husband's 40th birthday today. I had a cake made so I can give it to him and they were really nice about singing happy birthday and even got some of the restaurant in on it. I can't thank the staff enough. I hope they enjoy the delicious Publix cake I left them. Our dinner was excellent. I had the Mahi dinner special with Cole slaw and greens and he had his fried shrimp, mashed potatoes and coleslaw slaw. He accidentally got sweet potato fries but I ended up eating them lol

    Shrimp Dinner

    Passing through the area on a road trip. A local suggested this place, I can see why. The restaurant is located in town along the water front. A beautiful place to watch the sunset. We sat inside as someone said it was buggy outside. The decor was coastal and casual. I had the Fried Shrimp dinner and it was outstanding & fresh tasting. The Cole Slaw was delicious, homemade & lightly dressed. My husband had the crab cakes and said they were really good. The server Paula was a doll. Sunset amazing! If you are passing through give it a try. Highly recommend

    Blackened Corvina Fish, tri-color cauliflower, & fried Cabbage.

    Went to Locals for lunch and had the fish special (blackened Corvina) with fried cabbage and tri color cauliflower.... Chef Chad there knows his way around a kitchen. Definitely will be back.

    Great spot, locals love! The food was fresh and delicious. The service was friendly. And the ambiance was a comfortable, small-town, local feel. This restaurant is right along the water front in historic downtown St. Mary's, so you have the view of the water, if you want to sit outside on their patio. We sat inside, in the AC, since it was a very hot day. We were greeted and waited about 2 minutes to be seated, as the restaurant was starting to pick up for lunch. I ordered a sweet tea, fried fish & chips lunch special, with a side of Mac n cheese. The fish was a large portion and fried to perfection. The batter was crispy, and the fish fresh and flaky. I loved it. The Mac n cheese was good, but could be a bit more creamy in my opinion. My mom ordered the fried oysters with sweet potato fries, and she loved it! They also have burgers and sandwiches on their menu, along with pastas and salads. I would definitely return here for yummy seafood lunch.

We got in fairly close to opening, and got seated. 2 out of 3 tables were dirty that they seated us at. They stayed like that until we asked to have them wiped. We had to ask for utensils, napkins, etc after the food arrived. The server would drop off one thing for someone who asked for something that was missing and disappear faster than a blink before anyone could ask for something else that was missing. It was assumed the chicken sandwich was going to be a chicken breast or one larger sandwich sized piece since it came on a burger bun but it was multiple small strip so that was frustrating to eat they were mostly gristle so ate a cheese and lettuce sandwich with scraps of chicken. The cheese stick were your average mozzarella sticks but I was grateful for them and the grits were not bad. Only had one soft drink in the hour and half we were there, the refill never showed up after 2 attempts to request one. Wish the experience was better because it's the kind of atmosphere and location I would enjoy frequenting but this wasn't much different from my first experience here.

Pool tables are $1 per game and there's maybe 5-6 tables. My daughter won the chinese food claw game a few times and even got some jewelry so she was really excited. There's plenty of space and it's not fancy, but the kids had alot of fun and it's real laid back & casual. The lumpia was alight and the kids ate their hotdogs. Most who had the french fries liked them. I had the fried shrimp and wasn't impressed. There was thick crispy breading, but could taste alot of salt. I did not like it as much as some of the other dedicated seafood restaurants in town. The grits were just alright also. I guess my favorite was the sweet tea. The bathrooms were clean, but the soap dispensers didn't seem to work. The bartender/server was helpful and I liked the weird jukebox they had. This was our big event for the day and everyone in my family had a good time and enjoyed the visit.
