    Great friendly service, fresh seafood any way you like it. The crab cakes are made in house and not covered in Old Bay or all filler!!

    Chopped steak with chips and sweet potato fries

    Wonderful staff and the food was fast and hot. Our waitress was super friendly and everything came out perfect. They accommodated our party of twenty with no issues. Will visit again when I'm back in town.

    Pick 3 with NC shrimp, flounder and crab cake with tavern chips

    This place is a hidden gem. The food was outstanding. I got the pick 3 basket with NC shrimp, flounder, and a crab cake with the house made chips. The crab cake was out of this world, good with lump crab and no filler. The house made travern chips and the house made ranch are a must if you visit. My husband got the seafood Mac & cheese which was pretty good as well.

    Blackened whitefish, grilled shrimp, onion rings and slaw

    This is a hidden gem at the beach. It is a small place with simple decor but great food and good service. The food was outstanding at a very reasonable price. Don't forget to try some AB pie! We will be back!

    Fat Fellas BBQ & Grille - The 2nd best part of my meal, free hush puppies.

    Bestie & I were hungry for some grub after working up an appetite from geocaching. We had high…read morehopes but sadly, we were in for a let down. First, the hostess places our menus down, breakfast side up & even though the cutoff was 11, we arrived shortly thereafter so I had hopes that perhaps I could have breakfast vs lunch. I was promptly shut down by our server. I settled on fried clams that came with fries and butter beans. The butter beans had to have been straight out of a can as they had no seasoning or meat flavor. Even after I salted them, they were still flavorless. Our server was kind enough to remove them. The hush puppies and my bestie were the highlight of my lunch. Especially after hearing our server tell Bob's wife that she would see what kind of breakfast she could get the cook to wrangle up for her. Now, don't tell me no and yes to a regular because they threatened to "go somewhere else." That is a direct quote from the regulars (I could hear their conversation because the restaurant wasn't that busy.) Because my fries were under my clams they were soggy and I only ate 4 of them. It pains me to give them such a poor review but neither of us were impressed enough to even want to return. I do commend them for being so community involved & charitable to our western neighbors after the storm. Just wish we had had a better experience.

    After seeing how much the owners of this restaurant did for Western NC after Hurricane Helene, I…read morewas happy to swing by and give them a try when bestie and I were in Newport geocaching. Unfortunately Fat Fellas just didn't hit for me. The decor inside and outside the restaurant was adorable and the service was fairly good. After sitting down we were immediately brought out some super tasty hush puppies with butter so I took that as our meal was also going to be super tasty. I ordered the shrimp burger with coleslaw and French fries and the meal came out within minutes of ordering. The fried shrimp were big, fat, succulent shrimp with the perfect amount of batter, but the coleslaw was a miss with absolutely no flavor. I ended up just eating the shrimp off my sandwich to avoid the bland coleslaw altogether. The fries were just fries and not anything to write home about. I also tried bestie's butter beans as one of the sides of the day, and again no flavor. Maybe we should've ordered BBQ for a better experience?

    We waited 1:45 to be seated, which we agreed to. We waited another 15 minutes to be greeted by a…read moreserver. Services was very slow. We were seated 35 minutes before we placed our orders. The water was very chlorinated. The tea was weak but sweet. The crab dip was mostly filler, not much crap with stale pita. The prices are outrageous and the market price for crab changed $20 per pound from check in to being seated. The food was overall not good. The crab legs were good, the slaw and applesauce was good, the firecracker shrimp they gave us as an apology were the best thing we had. The flounder, catfish, crab cakes and other sides were overcooked and bland. Our service continued to be super slow as we were only checked on 1 time the entire time we were eating. The server's attitude was very much an I don't care attitude. The manager came to talk to us about the bill after they asked us how we liked the food. The bill was $250 full price and they took off two of the meals bringing it down to $180. Very little was even edible for $180. This definitely seemed more like a tourist trap than a real restaurant.

But the food was just ok, not amazing. And for the price, I was expecting something more. I realize these kinds of places do most of their sales off tourists in the summer but they are open all year and many locals want to eat out too from time to time. Our lunch was $89 dollars and that should have produced some amazing lunch but it was just ordinary, and I could have done better if I had made what I had at home. I had stuffed shrimp, and they were basically sharp like I would get at nay grocery store with some moist crab cake filling on top. It wasn't bad, in fact I liked it. It was just nothing special and should have been better for the cost. One plus and minus on the soda's. The fill your cup as expected with your soft drink of choice and put a little half sized pitcher of your soda on the table so you can fill your own glass. I like that. But, I ordered the Diet Pepsi because they don't have any ZERO drinks and used to have diet Dr Pepper but got rid of that. But it did not taste like a Pepsi, I think someone need to adjust the mix and clean out the pipes. It sort of tasted like several flavors were running through the same pipes.

The place is small but clean. Had a good vibe and was very quiet. Just the way we like it. Easy to read menu. The food was excellent. Mike our server was great. We had the Calamari Fritti. It was very light and crispy. The Bang Bang Shrimp Po Boy Burger and Steamed Trio were Awesome. They ran out of Clams for the Trio but added extra Shrimp to accommodate. (Check out my photos) We also tried the Prime Cheese Burger and I have to say that was a Dam good burger. I was very surprised because a good burger is hard to find especially at a place that primarily has sea food on menu. For wine I had a glass of 1924 Double Black Cabernet.

The only weakness we saw was our waitress was borderline surly.

The restaurant is small, so l would recommend securing a reservation!
