My sister and I stopped by there for lunch today. The server was awesome I think her name was Teresa. Very sweet. We got our food it was awesome the fish and the shrimp and the red rice and corn was awesome. Hush puppies were great and we had chips and crab artichoke dip. We definitely left full and happy. We'll be going back.
Well we got there at 8:30 and the closed at 9, so there's that. Wait staff, we'll call them "B", was unpleasant (due to late hour I suppose) ps it was the 4th of July too. I did notice that the manager and other wait staff were pleasent. Got fish and chips from the under 10 menu, really good. Hot, not many to cook for at this point. No hush puppies although others had them. I didn't complain then so I probably shouldn't here either.... none the less I like their hush puppies. I was just nervous to ask an already uptight server for something else.Dining room is in need of new carpet and sprucing up (this makes two restaurants in two days that have gone too long without new carpet... it has a smell)
Not sure if we hit an off night or what the deal was but my son and I walked in on this Saturday evening and was told it would be a 45 min wait. The restaurant was empty when we arrived at 7:15pm. I thought that maybe the back was full. When we were seated, it too was empty. How is it a 45 min wait for an empty restaurant? Yes, I took pics.Also, we were told there was no outdoor seating. I’m staring at a few outdoor tables.Removed another star after being served. It seems as if the waiters only have 1 table to themselves. The dining area didn’t get busy until 9pm. The already absent staff was even more absent with the influx of patrons. My food was good but the service certainly turns me off to ever returning here.

My husband and I ate here Sunday afternoon, for the first time. Our server, Mindy, was hospitable and attentive. The view from our booth was delightful! The food was good and fresh. The portion sizes were decent and the prices were reasonable for the quality of the food served. I had the seafood platter and my husband had the popcorn shrimp. Each meal came with 2 sides and both were piping hot. Our only suggestion would be to drain a little more of the excess oil from the fish before serving. Overall, we were well satisfied with our experience!
This was walking distance from my hotel. The service was quick. Which was important because I was on a schedule. The food was good and the price reasonable, more so than some of the other places nearby. Actually went twice over my five day stay. All the meals i ate and that my companions ate were all good. I even enjoyed the fried okra.
