Don't judge a book by the cover. The food here was absolutley delicious. The absolute BEST ever crab cakes. Seriously nothing but crab meat and absolutely no shells encountered. My friend ordered the scallops and when the waitress brought her meal she said, "the chef did like how these turned out so she is making you new ones but you can have these for now." The chef was teaching another cook how to sear the scallops and because they weren't to her liking she seared more and delivered them to the table herself. She explained she was training someone and although the first ones weren't terrible, they weren't up to her standard. She had my friend try the second batch and watching the look of approval as she ate from the second batch told us everything. I HIGHLY recommend this restaurant. My other friend had steak and she was just as happy with her meal. There isn't much inside seating and because it had been so hot, we elected to eat inside, otherwise we would have eaten outside in the screened in porch area. Fantastic service and Delicious food. Atmosphere is nothing to write home about, but it's a crabbing town, so no frills is what it's all about.

Amazing food—absolutely the best crab cakes we’ve ever had—and delicious BBQ ribs as well. (Two of us shared a full rack with sides included.) Corn on the cob, hush puppies, potatoes all yummy. Seating inside and out, not fancy at all—come as you are. Outstanding service, fair prices. We learned the place has been opened only a month (as of August 2024). Don’t miss!!

Overall, this place was a great find. Food was very good for the price. To be honest it was perfectly priced. The only reason for the 4/5 starts was due to not having any bar items; was really looking to enjoy some seafood with a nice cold beer. Staff were very friendly. Looking forward to going again to try some additional items on their menu. I also had a lobster tail, but ate it before I started taking pictures; I was super hungry.

We have been eating here about once a week. We went as a group of 6 most recently and everyone's meal was top notch. We have had great meals here from crabcakes, lobster, veal, steak, and prime rib just to name a few. We enjoy the food, the service and the atmosphere. We highly recommend it!

Wonderful local place with an extensive menu that includes seafood favorites, hush puppies, as well as pork, chicken and beef options. Unique dishes as well as favorites. Bbq sauce was tasty and the homemade honey mustard with cranberry walnut feta salad was very fresh. We got the taco platter - very reasonable - taco Tuesdays- came with 12 tacos, cheese quesadillas and chips and salsa. Everything so far is very good and fresh. Lovely workers.

Went here for dinner last night with my wife and we were very pleased. We both had the broiled crab cakes and they were excellent. Sides were very good also, particularly the cornbread and tater tots. The place seemed short staffed that night, but the young lady serving us did a great job keeping up and remaining attentive. The atmosphere was simple, unassuming and very comfortable.
