It was tough to peel, but it was worth every minute of it.. We had hoped for outside dining, but there is no seating outside on the water. it was freezing inside of the restaurant. We heard some other tables complaining about it as well. Again, we didn't eat anything else off the menu, but the crab legs and the spiced shrimp, and of course, the hush puppies that they give you when they first sit you at the table. This was all delicious. I forgot my son did get the crab fries. They were not great. Not what we would've thought of when we thought of cheddar crab fries.

I will definitely try them again from Roy's. I asked if they had any fresh fish but it wasn't available when I stopped by but he said he had some vacuum packed frozen striped bass.

I think a little clean up to both would make the store more inviting and would increase traffic.

Pros: Very good Carolina pulled pork sandwich. Additional…read moreseating is available outside, though it's only practical during warmer months. Cons: Fries had too much seasoning. 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.

I picked shrimp tacos and it did not disappoint…read more The only complaint was very slow service and we waited a long time between drinks then apps and then main course but waitress apologized and said only two people were working in the kitchen that night but the food came out hot and fresh so I can understand short staffing and it didn't affect food quality. Also with the garage doors open there was a beautiful view and wonderful environment but man o man--there were tons of flies all around. Not the fault of the restaurant more of nature but swatting 4-5 flies all night wasn't fun. Of that really bothers you I'd steer away from sitting inside--maybe outside they're not as annoying since there is open environment???

Same with the roasted Brussels. Rock hard and legitimately cold on the inside. While it seemed like decent quality ingredients they were prepared so poorly it makes me question the quality control throughout. Two stars because our waitress handled it well and was very nice. She exhibited the appropriate amount of shame for what her kitchen produced that one would expect. We will not be returning. At least until next year when some new owner will likely take over. We were really excited to try this place and just wish it was half as good as it pretends to be.

And the food is truly real. Don't worry about the price. For a comparable meal at McDonalds, Halls Supermarket will be less. And the drink selection is the best in town. Mexican Coca-Cola, Mr.Pibb, various hard to find drinks, all here. The environment is friendly with a mix of locals and transplants. The outside may look discreet but what counts is whats on the inside! And inside there is wholesome and goodness. Some place warm 'n fuzzy and somewhere to stick your head in. It's a true full service grocery store unique and one of a kind. There's only one Halls Supermarket and we're lucky to have it. I've always heard there are people who come here from miles around. I'm a believer.

It was a nice night tonight, so we sat outside and enjoyed the peaceful ambiance of the Potomac River on this spring day. They were short staffed but still had great service. We ordered 2 cheeseburgers and a chicken salad. The burgers were HUGE and well priced at $12.75. Especially for this view. Delicious fries with a well done cheeseburger. The salad came with warm grilled chicken and was perfectly crisp. We also ordered hush puppies which were 10/10. Definitely recommend this place for a nice day!

Only thing nice about this place is the view. Their website is misleading, the breakfast bar is an…read moreover priced joke. They had 6 things on the breakfast bar, most of which was not good. It is not family friendly and our waitress wasn't very knowledgeable about something as simple as what drinks they offered. (This is putting it nicely.) Only bar juices. It was almost 10 am and no coffee brewed. Messed up our bills, and they had the nerve to add gratuity because we were a group of 6 adults and 5 children. Horrible service, poor quality food. Avoid here if you are vacationing. I would have taken pictures but never thought I would write a review. This is my first yelp review I have ever done that is how terrible this place was and ripped off I feel.

I went because they had gnocchi on the menu and I thought how bad could it really be how bad can Italian food be right? I also had read in a previous review about their Caesar dressing and how it had real anchovies in it and it was homemade. I was super excited to have the Caesar salad with chicken as my meal as I wasn't that hungry and I love Caesar salad dressing with anchovies. I'm giving this place two stars because the waitress was extremely nice now granite we were the only people in the restaurant two other couples did come in as we were sitting there. Between the local reviews, the empty parking lot and then the country music on in an Italian restaurant I should've known. But we forged ahead. So we ordered the garlic basil shrimp as an appetizer, it was good. It was fine, but it lacked a lot of flavor. My son then had the gnocchi which he substituted the Parmesan sauce for red sauce and asked for a meatball instead of the chicken or sausage. I again ordered the big Caesar salad salad with chicken as my entrée, along with a glass of wine, that clearly had been opened a bit too long and not properly sealed. The Kohl's frozen garlic bread from your freezer section of your grocery store had more flavor than the garlic bread that came out with my son's dish the two meatballs that were huge in size had no flavor at all while the gnocchi was great and consistency. The sauce itself again lacked any flavor at all. My lettuce was not fresh the Caesar dressing if it was homemade was very thin and watery , and the chicken breast they asked for it to be put on top of it had no seasonings on it whatsoever. I would not go back here and I hope that you reading this considers it, this review and what all the locals told me, before you decide to go.

Our seafood pasta was delicious and loaded with a good amount of seafood. The prices are very fair and the service was good. The wine selection was ok. The food was very tasty, that's the most important thing. ( PS: It's completely authentic to have anchovies in a Cesar salad, but it's not commonly added in the majority of restaurants. Because anchovy is usually a love it or a hate it ingredient, it would be helpful to mention on the menu that the Nonna's Cesar salad dressing contains anchovies.)
