I totally get the shortage’s of staff going on now a days. That’s what was happen there. The staff was not friendly. When I went to pay with a credit card, was warned that when I pay with a cc I would pay a surcharge. Who actually totes cash around now days? Didn’t have the cash (esp when they charge 17 bucks for a fish sandwich) to foot the bill. I still tipped without that surcharge. But, so easy to see that this place has difficulty hiring people when they do this and it impacts what people tip the folks that work here. Owners need to rethink the cheapness here.

Bartender was not busy. I was one of the few customers there and ordered lunch at the bar. She was too busy talking to her co-workers at the end of the restaurant and didn't even get my order right or pay much attention at all (she forgot items I had ordered and never noticed). I didn't even bother telling her about my missing order items because she had not paid attention enough to enter them into the computer so I did not get charged for them and I just decided it would be better if I just left because of the poor experience.

Before Paul McCartney concert, we enjoyed a fantastic meal at a local favorite spot. Delicious cole slaw, shrimp po boy, crabcakes & she-crab soup! Great service and cute tee-shirts for sale. Will absolutely return!

The most amazing raw oysters I’ve ever had. The crab legs were cooked to perfection and well seasoned. Everything was absolutely delicious and the service was extremely nice and fast. Our server, Keisha, was an absolute joy!!! I will definitely be coming back regularly and I want her to serve us every time!! Amazing and you should definitely try it out.

The food was greasy, but good. I got the Captain's Basket with fries. The cocktail sauce was superb as were the fries. Oddly enough, for an upscale restaurant, they gave me 3 squeeze packs of ketchup, but had a bottle of Texas Pete on the table. Spoilers: it wasn't OG Texas Pete. The "complimentary coleslaw" was more like cabbage salad, but still tasted okay. The kicker was when she brought our check at $56-something. We asked for refills and she takes our check. When she comes back, the bill is $65! Sixty-five dollars for food we could have got at Mayflower for way less. I won't be back. It was nothing special.

2 stars for the good waiter. I'm extremely disappointed with the food here for 40 bucks you wouldn't believe what they brought out to us. It was enough for a baby's meal. If you go to a crazy crab chain restaurant in the area you get wayyyyyy more food. Feel bad paying 100 bucks for what little we got.

Love the rum buckets. And captain basket is great

Nice atmosphere and folks. Clean facility. But, the crab legs were overcooked and basically the same for the Oysters and shrimp and scallops. A little tough, rubbery and under seasoned. The she-crab soup was okay, but I didn't finish it.Stop by for a beer and a cracker or something, but the meals do not measure up to the prices.

Customer service was excellent. appitizer of steamed scallops tasted great! Fried flounder was ok. Draft beer was a bit flat. Crab dip was good but had small pieces of shell in it. Kids chicken tenders tastes great as well as the fries.

Ordered 1lb king crab legs. Received 2 legs, barely any meat, the tiny bit of meat there was, was dry and “fishy” and tasted old. We paid $75 for literally nothing. If you want good crab legs, don’t go here.
