They specialize in Fresh Marble Slab Fudge, Hand dipped chocolates, and great ice cream. Line was out the door on Friday night with many locals and tourists with the locals saying best ice cream on the island. We had 2 scoops each in a cup. I had the salted caramel praline and triple peanut butter and my wife had chocolate mint and birthday cake.... This ice cream is simply incredible. Fresh, creamy, flavorful and can't wait to go back before we leave. Servers are high school kids very friendly and keep the line moving.

I had a worker scan me up and down (particularly looking at my chest) once I came in, and greeted me after staring for a good 10 seconds. I'm sure this place is amazing so I feel bad giving it such a low rating, but I felt so uncomfortable I had to leave - and not for nothing, I was with my entire family. I just wish these workers were more friendly because I would've loved to try it :(

The ice cream began to melt before we even walked out of the store. I did not think it was hot enough to start the melting that quickly. It really made a mess on my hands. Right outside there are public benches to sit on. This is very convenient and great for people watching. This place has been a favorite for many years, I just think it should not melt that quickly.

We didn't know how it worked, but you get menus and order from the bar. Someone brings your food only; if you need fork, knife , napkins, condiments, etc, you go get it. Let me say, I'm not a burger person, but the Mocama burger was fantastic. The burger itself may have been a frozen burger and a little overcooked (even for me who doesn't like anything done less than medium). The cheese, bacon, and caramelized onions were perfect, but that pretzel bun....hands down best I've ever had! They MUST make these in house! The fries were thinner than I expected, but the seasoning and doneness were wonderful. We enjoyed every single bite and will absolutely be back!

Wouldn't say that it necessarily caters to sports - at least half of the TVs (I think there were 4) were temporary. Beer was solid - but not a huge selection - maybe 6 or so. Had several Cosmic IPA which was good, not great. For food, shared some nachos with added smoked pork which hit the spot. Group ordered a chicken pesto sandwich, a burger or two and chicken gyro. Honestly the food was more "gourmet" than typical pizza and burgers that you get at a lot of breweries. May have given 4.5 stars but it was impossible to contact them directly. No phone number on website and even when I located one, went straight to voice mai. The FAQs on website couldn't answer my question if they would be able to accommodate a large party with a table and advise on TV situation / audio (which was too low for a game that everyone was dialed into). As other have pointed out, it is counter service only which is then run out to your table.

When we sat down with our kids, expecting the same--especially since the shuttle driver told us breakfast was being served--we were told no and that it wasn't available. The inconsistency made no sense. We arrived at the same time, yet were treated completely differently. Not to mention, the wait staff made no effort to help. Instead of coming to our table to speak with us, they stayed behind the bar and called out for me to go talk to the manager. It felt dismissive and honestly pretty disrespectful. Our server was very hard to hear and didn't communicate clearly, which made things frustrating from the start. Basic service was lacking--we had to ask multiple times for water and a chocolate milk, and it still didn't come until we followed up again. That shouldn't happen. On top of that, my daughter specifically asked for a plain burger, and it came out with cheese. It just felt like no one was paying attention. What made it worse was that the manager was clearly within earshot of the entire interaction and didn't step in to clarify anything or offer a solution. Overall, the experience was mediocre at best, but this situation left a really bad impression. For a golf course restaurant, the level of service was unacceptable. Consistency and basic hospitality should be the bare minimum.

Very casual, warehouse vibe with heated outside patio, that overlooks....you guessed it; a marsh. Menu is mostly typical roadhouse/pub offerings, but at a bit of an upscale price. Service was good, and food came quickly. The battered mushrooms were deffinately premade from frozen, and not overly generous with the serving size. The handhelds (burgers and sandwiches) were large, but came with no sides. Sides were available, for an upcharge. For 2 drinks, 2 fries, and one order of mushrooms (one of them being poutine), and 3 sandwiches, the bill (with tip) was $140. Pricey, in my opinion, and nothing special, but fine.
