Shrimp burger was flavorful all around with perfect seasoning blend! The fries were a strange shape and deliciously crispy. The space inside is expansive - more expansive than it appears since the facade makes the place look like it's a smaller venue. The décor is well done with a perfect mix of rustic charm and comfort. From the bear statues to the wall hangings, there is so much attention to detail everywhere. Though we didn't bring a fur baby. The back of the menu makes it clear pups - and horses - are welcome!

The place is a little small inside, but they do have a bar in the back. Bathroom was clean. Model sailboats adorn the top of the booths. We ordered shrimp and grits with hushpuppies to go. Then we had a chopped salad, fried oysters, Calamari and the tuna crisp. All the food was good, but the Calamari were amazing. Perfectly fried, tender and I would highly recommend trying them. My kiddo enjoyed the shrimp and grits but said the hushpuppies were excellent.

Learned quickly that you less you are one of the gentlemen sitting in the corner of the bar by the window, your drinks are not a priority over personal conversations and friends. - Aside from the ridiculous amount of time it took the bartender to remember there were other people there and other orders, she poured the wrong beer. (There are only 9 on tap) - Ordered wings and got bones with barely any meat on them. Additionally the buffalo shrimp which I normally ordered is now a sweet sauce. - There are individual TVs in each booth. While I didn't care, I thought it was funny it took the guy in the back to realize ours wasn't on and to come out and fix it. Extremely dissatisfied.
