We stopped by this restaurant after visiting the IKEA nearby and wanted to take my parents to experience an American restaurant. We aren’t local but are very happy about our experience here! The portion is huge and food is very reasonably priced. We ordered too much food and ended up packing most of the the food to go. The location was great, right next to the ocean so you got the full ocean view. It was a hot day when we were there and we almost felt like we were at a beach in Florida, which we really loved for living more to the south end of CT (near New York). The service was great and the food came pretty quickly. We liked every dish we had. The fries were really good! The only thing might be more at the bland end is the mahi mahi tacos. I’d come again if we visit this area again!

For a Monday afternoon this place was packed! I took it as a good thing. Cool beach vibes from the nearby ocean. No bad seat at this place! Good music, decent food and great beer. I got the crispy chicken sandwich and it was good. However, get the sashimi tacos… you won’t be disappointed!

The best Lobster roll I had in long time, service is 5 star, you can enjoy the view to the beach.Great place

I have been to dive bar many times and love the new renovations they just made to expand! 12/10 recommend. Great bartenders, great beer, great atmosphere! I haven't been able to try the food yet so that's next!

I had the peppered tuna salad and my husband had the shrimp poboy tacos. Both are amazing and make us want to come back to try out other menu items. At 10pm on a Wednesday, the place was hopping. Includes some nice putdoor seating options. Be warned, the kitchen closes at 10pm and thanks to the awesome servers we got our food order in at 9:55pm. If you want a quiet conversation though, go at lunch! Couldn't have any kind of conversation due to the noise level.

Out of this world burgers! We had to stop for lunch on our way South on a long trip - the host was welcoming and helpful, the atmosphere was lovely , the view stunning and the burgers were absolutely scrumptious. We tried the "Bourbon and blue" burger and the "figtastic" burger - they both were delicious, and so were the fries. Try their iced tea which was very enjoyable too. Will certainly keep them in mind next time we are passing by the area.

It's small but they are expanding. Party of four, got burger sliders (comes w/3), blt, pulled pork sandwich and a cheeseburger salad. All was good. Got there about 12:15, not too busy. When we left there was not a seat to be had, super busy.

Fish Tacos were really tasty

Huge burgers and good fries. Service was good.Some standard pubby food on the menu. The two different stuffed burgers we ordered were cooked just as directed, and very, very good.Do yourself a favor and try a burger!

great experience and environment
