    My husband don and his deviled crab

    Best seafood around. My husband and I go alot and have never been disappointed from the staff to the food it's absolutely phenomenal.

    We waited for 40 minutes before being seated. After we were finally seated, we waited another 20-plus minutes before the host came over and asked if the server had attended to us, which they had not. The server eventually came and apologized, stating she had no idea we had been seated. We then endured another long wait for our food, which turned out to be quite disappointing. I don't believe I we will be eating here again, if we do it will be for the hamburgers. We chose seafood, and I don't recommend it.

    so we're in wilkesboro because stuff happens and needed something like dinner and the cutest of chicks was hoping for something like fish... so we are in hill country heading to a place what's made a name selling ocean-based victuals. after a short drive across town we pull up on a twenty minute wait and a pick-up line five cars deep that stayed that deep for the next hour and a half. our twenty minutes went by pretty quick, we got a booth and Katie swung by with hush puppies and went off to get some coffee and hot water for her tea (we bring our own bags because it's the south and ain't nobody has hot tea but the chinese) as we figured dinner out... I went with the catfish special plus slaw and potato and MLB had the flounder with potato and salad... salt and pepper catfish was unlike any I've had before, lighter and flakier than is typical and barely fishy at all but still with the distinct cleft. eats just as well plain or with lemon or cocktail sauce as is your pleasure. slaw is chopped and not overly creamed, captain's taters are thin and round and more delicately seasoned than you're likely to guess. the flounder was similarly light but had a mild fishiness to it that makes me go 'yumm! fish!' side salad with a well mannered blue cheese was fresh and bright next to the baked tater plus sour cream.

    We found this place on Yelp looking for seafood after the NASCAR race. OMG such fresh shrimp & the light batter on my husband's was perfect. Our waitress could not have been sweeter & efficient!! Too bad we don't live down here because we would be going frequently!! It's a comfortable place to eat & the music is playing at a much appreciated lower volume!! You won't regret going!!!

    Beautiful steamed crab legs

    First time ordering here. Crab legs were Beautiful, clean and full of meat! The peel and eat shrimp were perfectly steamed and seasoned. Baked potatoes and salads were fresh and tasty. Would not hesitate to recommend and we will certainly be going back again soon!

    Great place to eat locally. We usually get it to go and it's just as good. Haven't had anything bad here ever.

    My husband got us lunch here a couple of days ago and that was the biggest sandwich I have ever seen. It was delicious.

    Great service. Good food. Try grilled chicken salad. Delicious! Prices are reasonable in this high inflation time.

    Service was great! Food was pretty good, but I wish they would use real butter instead of that fake oil butter stuff.

    If you're in the area just stop and eat and they have a microbrew right across the street. I had…read morecrews working a project and for two weeks they ate at Dooleys almost every single day. The smash burgers are fabulous but the Ruben is crazy good. Super friendly service plenty of parking and even outdoor seating when the weather ain't this hot.

    This place is good for bar food but nothing special…read more We got here about 1 on a Sunday, not very busy, but the hostess walked away as we walked up and it took a few minutes for someone to seat us. When we were seated, we were offered 3 different table choices instead of being brought to a table. A general area was indicated and since neither of us had been here before, it was a bit chaotic. Had to wait a few beats for a server, but she was friendly when she arrived. We started with the potato skins which were all topped inconsistently - some had more cheese, some more bacon, and some skimpy all around. My friend got the burger and she said it was delicious. I got the steak grilled cheese which was salty and the meat wasn't easy to consume. I was under the assumption this would be more of a grilled cheese, but it was really bread with melted cheese and steak stuck in between. We both got fries and we did enjoy those. The decor is of Wilkes over the years which was pretty cool. I did notice the sign above our table had Wilkes misspelled - I don't know if that was a typo of the town had a different name previously. I'm unsure if I'd choose to come back here again. If so, I'll probably try a burger.
