Customer Reviews

I can not say enough about this place. Nothing fancy BUT oh my goodness the food, service and people are amazing. We are originally from panhandle of Florida, so we know good seafood. This place has some of the best food we've had since Florida. The serving size is plentiful. Price is phenomenal. Definitely a family friendly restaurant. My husband got catfish and I got pick 2(clams and popcorn shrimp) both came with fries and coleslaw. Not only did we enjoy the food we enjoyed the company. They have other things than seafood too. Give it a try you will not regret it! We will drive the hour to go again and again. Sorry no pictures, too distracted by the food and portions.

That was the biggest Captain plate I ever ordered. It was good. There was only one employee because the other one had to leave with an emergency. She definitely took care of us.

I don't know about the atmosphere because we never dine in but my husband says the service is good but check your order to make you got everything you ordered because we order extra tarter sauce and have never received it not once. The fish and chips is awesome though and a big enough order that we can share and we always get full.
