Went in on Saturday, June 22nd, for a relaxing dinner with my husband -- I wanted something…read moredifferent from the usual, and let me just say... I'm so glad we chose this place! There was no wait when we arrived, and we were immediately greeted by the sweetest hostess, Camila . Her warm smile and kind energy honestly set the tone for the night. Never underestimate how much a genuinely nice welcome can uplift your mood! Our server, Sherry, was just as lovely -- super attentive and quick to take our drink orders . She brought out a basket of hush puppies and OMG -- I am absolutely in love. These were hands down the best hush puppies I've had in the area -- crispy outside, soft inside, and full of flavor. I could've eaten a whole tray! Once I asked for a drink recommendation, Sherry didn't hesitate to help. My husband noticed they had lobster tails on the menu, and you know I had to go for it. I ordered the lobster tail meal with a baked sweet potato on the side. My husband chose the Amberjack cheeseburger with a side of mac & cheese . While we waited for our entrées, I hit up the salad bar , which was fresh and well-kept. The veggies looked bright and crisp -- no wilted greens here! When our food came out, I was truly excited -- my lobster tail was beautifully plated with thoughtful garnishes, but the real magic started the second I took a bite . The flavor was chef's kiss -- perfectly seasoned, with just the right hint of lemon and a buttery finish. I didn't even have to reach for extra butter -- it was already that good. Later, when I spoke to the owner, I found out the secret was something called Jimmy's seasoning, and trust me, it works! My husband really enjoyed his burger -- cooked perfectly and full of flavor. He even let me try his mac & cheese, and let me tell you... creamy, cheesy, and straight-up comfort food heaven. My only minor critique: the antipasta salad from the salad bar wasn't quite up to par. The pasta was a bit overcooked and lacked the zesty vinaigrette flavor I usually look for. But hey, if that's the only thing I could point out, you know the rest of the experience was top-tier! Before we left, I asked Camila if I could speak with the owner, and she kindly introduced me to Corona (that's what the regulars call him). This man is clearly passionate about what he does. We chatted about the food, and I even mentioned how I regretted not coming in sooner -- this place had been sitting on my "Want to go" list for way too long! Corona was genuinely open to feedback, even apologizing for the salad bar issue and thanking me for pointing it out. His love for the restaurant shines through, and it makes a world of difference knowing that the owner personally cooks the lobster tails to ensure perfection. All in all, this spot is perfect whether you're grabbing a meal with the family or looking for a sweet date night. The décor is welcoming, and the ambiance matches the menu beautifully. Oh, and one last thing... I brought home some extra hush puppies and reheated them the next morning. They paired so well with my coffee that I'm honestly dreaming about going back for more. Highly recommend!

Some friends wanted to go to an all you can eat buffet and I hadn't been to one in a long time so I…read morewas down to go. We found this place. The buffet was ok. My friends pointed out the Squid salad to which I happily went back for seconds on. I also got their Mei Fun, Spinach stuffed in Phylo dough, green beans, and shrimp. It was good. We all were satisfied and full by the end of the night. Mom wasn't thrilled about the cookies as she was hoping for the almond variety but they only had the Palmier kind which she said was ok. Even though online it stated that they were open until 9pm, they were removing food from the bar and cleaning the floors before 8pm. Maybe because of the Super Bowl or because they weren't busy? Not sure. Before we left they asked us if we wanted any drinks to-go and they provided them. Thanks for feeding us after a long day.

Now let's get into the food.. It not uncommon to see an up charge for brisket and burnt ends but unfortunately both were average. You might think this is great if you have not been to Texas. Great variety of sauces. They all delivered. Especially the spicy BBQ. Along with the sides. Baked beans, cheesy jalapeño grits, Mac n cheese. They left out our order of French fries so I am not able to rate them. We should have checked the bag prior to leaving. Desserts are phenomenal. Make sure to try each and every one of them.
