We came here with a group of 12 for a bachelorette trip and overall had a great experience. We were…read moreoriginally told the wait would be 1.5 to 2 hours, but we were pleasantly surprised to be seated in under an hour. We sat outside, enjoyed the live music, and the atmosphere was perfect for a group celebration. Service was quick and attentive, especially considering how busy they were. Food wise, the pimento cheese dip was unfortunately not a hit for our group. It had a very thick, almost paste like consistency and was difficult to spread. I also ordered the corn and crab bisque, and personally was not a fan of the sweeter flavor. For my meal, I ordered the summer salad and absolutely loved it. I finished every bite. Our server also highly recommended the first three fish options on the menu, and everyone who ordered fish completely cleaned their plates. Portion sizes were very generous. The only issue we had was the bride's steak being overcooked, but the manager personally came over, addressed it, and made sure everything was taken care of. Overall, great atmosphere, live music, generous portions, and solid service. A fun spot for groups and celebrations!

We came here on 01/23/2026 for dinner at about 6pm with a party of five. This was my first time…read morehere; however, everyone else in the party has previously been to the restaurant. The restaurant is very large with indoor and outdoor dining areas, and it is casual, but classy. Overall, we had a great experience. The host was fine; however, lacked empathy and customer service skills. He was a full 30 seconds ahead of us, and if we wouldn't have been tracking him with our eyes, we wouldn't have known where to sit. By the time we got to the table, he was nowhere to be found; however, the menus were in a pile on the table. Our server, on the other hand, was very pleasant. He was kind, caring and kept us informed and checked in on us frequently. The table shared the crab cakes and the blue crab claws, both of which were very good. Of course, the complimentary hush puppies are definitely a hit as well. For my entree I had the Grouper Louisianne. It was a tasty piece of fish, that came with a great side salad and a super delicious twice baked potato. Other than the host, the other reason for the minus one star, was the unusually long time it took between the salad course and the main course. It was a full 20 minute wait, after we were done with our salads, for the main course to arrive. Otherwise, I would likely try the restaurant again at a future time, if something brought me back to the area.

It was too dry but we were hoping our toddler would eat it. The green bean medley was good as just a simple veg side. It's long beans with mushrooms and onions. The onions and mushrooms i could've passed on but it wasn't over seasoned which is what I needed The twice baked potato was good, very cheesy and I think it has bacon in it The grilled fish sandwich was great. Nice sized fish & the Cole slaw is good here, almost fruity. It came with a ton of fries that were cooked well. The bread is soft & the tartar sauce went well with it The crabs were cooked perfectly and so sweet. I almost wish we'd have gotten an extra cluster for $18. It's always busy at this place. They told us 35 mins for the wait but it took maybe 20. It filled up as we left though. They have a gift shop and beach access to entertain you while you wait + a loud speaker so you can hear them call for you. The lot is across the street and it fills up as there's other businesses here but usually someone leaves within 5-10 mins so just have someone get on the wait and then go find a spot if you have more than 1 person

The pics are from 11/24 so the food may be prepared a bit different but is always good. We started with the lobster spring rolls, crab beignets and the mozzarella and tomatoes. All were delicious. They don't skim on the lobster. Each piece has a half of a lobster tail. The crab beignets are crispy on the outside and filled with crab. The dinner menu is not big but I think I have tried everything except the ahi tuna which my son gets consistently and he loves. Our latest visit I got the shrimp and grits for the first time and it was amazing. The mushrooms on the grits complemented the dish well. The staff is welcoming gives great recommendations. We will of course be back.

The food was decent overall, but the menu was a little disappointing because there weren't many healthy options to choose from.
