"We were looking for somewhere on the water to have lunch while on vacation, we were able to grab a table outside with a short wait. Our party had burgers, prime rib sliders and the ranch chicken wrap. The food was very good as was the service. Prices were reasonable and we will come back next time we visit!"

"I was kind of disappointed with the clam chowder. It definitely needed to cook more. The potatoes were quite hard. It also lacked the thickness of true New England clam chowder. We also got three grouper sliders. They were pretty good… My suggestion would be instead of putting them on a regular yeast roll they should do a real slider bun and slightly toast it .
They have a really decent beer selection in the atmosphere is spot on. The next time I go, I will try something different but definitely do recommend"

"Had a great visit today. Sat out by the water and it was really nice. Had some turtles hanging out and even a baby gator. For appetizers we had tge crab balls. They were very good. Then I had the buffalo shrimp wrap and my wife had a French Dip. Both were good. Also I tried the New England Clam Chowder and found it to be really good too."
