    Menus

    We dined around 6:00 PM and were seated immediately. I had the half and half seafood platter, crab cake and fried oysters. The crab cake was 100% crab, little to no filler. The oysters were delicious, lightly breaded and cooked to perfection.

    Avocado toast

    Everything was great! I got the burrito with scrapple and onion and it was nicely crisped and cooked. They got homemade hot sauce that was fire here's the gf's avocado toast that she says "was plentiful and perfectly crisped with homemade avacado"

    Beef bulgogi egg rolls

    We've been here twice since they opened and each time we had good experiences. The staff was friendly and the service was quick each time. They've revamped the inside and it looks great. Parking can be a bit challenging if they're busy, but that isn't something that deters us from visiting. On our first visit we ordered the beef bulgogi egg rolls and the blue cheese chips. Both were good but the eggs rolls were our favorite. I had the caprese salad for my main and my husband had the Spicy Honey Chicken Crunch sandwich. My salad was fresh and my husband said his sandwich was very good. On our second visit, we had the beef bulgogi egg rolls again, because they're that good. My husband had the beefy melt and I had the Twisted Grilled Cheese. I was a little disappointed with my sandwich because it was advertised as coming with grilled jalapeño corn bread, but the bread was more like a cross between corn bread and sourdough vs a traditional corn bread. I also thought it was a little pricey. The sandwich was $19 and I paid an additional $4 for sweet potato wedges. I will say the sandwich itself was very large, I couldn't finish it. It was good, but probably not something I'd order again. We will definitely be back.

    Came on a mid-afternoon on Saturday. Slightly busy but no wait for a table. Nice selection on the menu and the food was delicious! Very bright inside. Courteous, friendly and prompt service. Will come back in the future!

    Sausage burrito with hash browns

    Had the sausage breakfast burrito and it was to die for! By far the best one I've ever had. I added onion and tomato. It was so well made you got a bite of each item in every bite. I hate when all the sausage is in one part of the burrito but not here! Clearly they take their time when putting it together and it showed. Hubby had sausage gravy and he also loved it. But after a bite of my burrito he was convinced I made the better choice. We had hash browns and they were also good. My only suggestion....maybe add omelets to the menu and real home fries. The menu says home fries but they are hash browns. People were really friendly! Can't wait to come back and try the lunch menu. Also....pricing was fine! $14 for the burrito but the portion was totally justified! I could have shared it for sure.

    Grilled chicken sandwich and fries.  Delicious!   I also had the Caprese Salad which was the best I've had in this area!

    Slow service. Food is okay. They seem to run out of certain foods on the daily. It's cute inside though.

We stopped in around 3pm, just after the lunch rush, and sat at the bar. The bartender greeted us right away, took our drink order, and even walked us through the menu, sharing favorites and pointing out his family members who all help run the place. It was nice to see a true family-run operation. My wife ordered the combination platter (4 crab balls and 1/2 lb steamed shrimp) with onion rings and a side salad. I had the stuffed shrimp with crab. Both meals were excellent, well-prepared, and came with generous portions -- enough that we had leftovers to enjoy for dinner the next night. I saw a negative review calling this place "just a bar with overpriced frozen food," which doesn't line up with our experience. First, nearly every restaurant these days has higher menu prices (even our bowling alley charges $7 for a hot dog). Second, our food tasted fresh, not frozen. As for the "smell of sewage" they mentioned, all we noticed was the normal aroma of fried food. Overall, we had a great first visit -- good food, friendly service, and a welcoming atmosphere. We'll definitely be back.
