This would have been 5 stars but the service was a bit slow and they seemed understaffed in the front of house. It took about 10 minutes to get greeted. After that everything was great. The "beer wall" is an amazing idea and super convenient. I had a bacon mushroom swiss burger w/ onion rings and my girlfriend has a shrimp po'boy with fries (pictured). Both meals were very good! The shrimp on the po'boy were well seasoned and you got a lot of them and the remoulade was spot on. The fries were perfectly crispy and had a nice seasoning. My burger was good and the onion rings were nice as well. The happy hour for cocktail drinks is also phenomenal. We will be back for sure!

The place is clean and the service is good. Excellent crab dip. I had the fried cod filets with beans and veggies of the day...all pretty good except the tartar sauce which was aweful.... relish, onions and a dash of mayo.... ugh. Wife had shrimp and crabcake with fries. The crabcake literally tasted like Italian bread crumbs with fish juice squirted on it. No sign of any crab. I recommend sticking with the appetizers and beer here.

Do not recommend.Food: $22 for my Cajun pasta. Sauce wasn’t even creamy or spicy. Meat had no taste or seasoning. My buddy had the seafood pasta for $28. They used velveeta cheese in the sauce! (When you grow up poor you KNOW the taste of Velveeta.) Another friend got a burger with caramelized onions. Those onions were so fresh they may as well have just been pulled out the ground.Service: I admit we had a large party but the waitress took an hour to give one friend his sweet tea that he ordered from the beginning. She forgot my drink entirely until I asked her to change drinks since I never received it. No bueno.Cleanliness: The female bathroom was gross (according to my friend.)

Made it in from out of town over an hour before close just tryna grab a quick bite while I booked a hotel. Hostess greeted us I asked if kitchen was still open she said yeah and asked if we wanted to sit at bar.When I made it the couple steps over to the bar bartender quickly told us drinks only. Obviously she was trying to get out of there ASAPDrove another exit up to buffalo wild wings!

Location offers a varied menu, good service, and pay by the ounce taps. Many seafood dishes are at market price. There was a reasonable offering of non-seafood meals.

We got takeout, the buffalo pasta was good if you're a fan of buffalo sauce and Alfredo sauce. Philly cheese steak was stuffed with meat which was nice. Old Bay fries were seasoned nicely. The crab dip was good but a little pricey.Inside the restaurant they have board games and card games you can play while waiting for your food. The staff was very friendly.

We had dinner here on Saturday night and it was delicious! Drinks were half off which was great! Our waitress was amazing - her name is Skyla - she was very efficient and friendly. The burger with crab cake was amazing!!!

We’ve had most of the menu and the food never disappoints. The servers are always polite, and the draft options are awesome. Lemon Pepper-Hot Wings my new fav!

Freaking delicious…I got the seafood Alfredo my husband got the fatty burger he says it’s good but this crab dip lordtttt its good

Amazing potatoes! And service
