We own a bbq restaurant and we’re pleasantly surprised with the quality and taste! Light breading with great seasoning! Blackened scallops were tasty! Fried flounder was also tasty. Fries had a nice seasoning on them. Crab cakes were good. Portions were on the small side but the price was very reasonable. Would recommend to everyone.

Waitress was friendly but food was not as good as I thought. It definitely wasn't worth 50 dollars from the food we have gotten. Fries were salty and didn't look appetizing at all. Definitely won't be going again regardless of friendly staff.

We stopped by on our way home to Virginia because we always like trying local places. I ordered the new York strip med rare and it came out well done, besides that it was the thinnest steak I ever saw, about 1/4" thick. The salads, as other reviews I saw are mostly lettuce. My daughters burger was also over cooked. The french fries were greasy and limp. I would've given 1 star but the waitress was nice and the price was cheap.

No greeting upon arrival and the waitresses seemed hesitant to come to our table. We did get a good waitress though, and she made our visit more pleasant.

First time here. It was on a Friday night (July) Small restaurant but cozy. They had a computerized Juke Box...very nice....you can select your song choices! Ordered the lobster & spinach artichoke dip, but they were out. So, ordered calimari. It was nice and crispy like we like....but rather salty. When the manager? Came to ask how everything was, I mentioned it to him. He then had the cook immediately cook up another batch. They even asked if I wanted a different batter. I said without the seafood batter and just like that, we received another batch! It was perfect! We also had the buffalo shrimp and a burger which were both good! I would definitely go again!

I ordered the chicken Alfredo & it was very little to no sauce & the waiter was still going to charge for more & it was every bit of 12 noodles in my entrée. Noticed the side of Mac & cheese could’ve fitted in the palm of my hand. NEVER RETURNING. Over priced

What a great experience! The food was fantastic and the drinks were just as good! Demetrey was our server and he was awesome! Attentive just enough to make sure we were good without being overbearing! I got the salmon and my husband got the new york strip. We were happy with both! I have to recommend the asparagus because omg it is delicious!! I cannot recall the bartenders name but she makes wonderful drinks! I have to recommend the liquid marijuana!!! Sooo good! My husband and I went here for our 11th anniversary and were not disappointed! Thank you so much for a lovely evening!!

When we walked in , the cook let us know that if we were willing to wait, they would take care of us. We weren’t in a hurry so we sat down. The food was worth the wait and their service was wonderful. Very friendly guys!

Went last night. Service was okay, drinks were great. 2/3 steaks were good. Will be returning on a Tuesday. Ordered pink Whitney starburst drink. I def need the recipe. Boyfriend ordered Pittsburgh. He said it was delicious. Guy I’m assuming was the owner was great at the end. Discounted meal for small errors, that we didn’t complain about, he just seemed to take notice. We were shocked but did not complain nonetheless. Seriously though, the starburst recipe?

I ordered Crabcakes with Mac and cheese and French fries. The crabcakes need help, they were shaped like a flat hamburger, I am not sure what was combined with the crabcakes but it was not good. I literally took two bites and could not eat them.. The French fries were ok, I combined them with the aioli they provided which was actually the only thing that was good. And for the mac and cheese it looks appealing to the eye but I had to season because it did not have any taste. I am giving two stars for the restaurant, it was clean and the staff seemed nice.
