Apparently they have a "swamp dip" with alligator and frogleg meat in the fall, we'll have to come back then and try it!

My family and I along w/neighbors have been coming here for a couple decades and always impressed by the quality customer service even when they're super busy especially around the holidays. They have the best shrimp, grouper cheeks, crab and even conch salad as well as frozen squid. Their fish is so fresh - always look for a clear looking fish eye if you're unsure and stay away from cloudy eyes which means the fish is spoiled as a general Fish101. Parking is plentiful! PRO TIP: You take a number to get in line. PRO TIP #2: Amex not accepted and $10 minimum to use credit card!

The blackened preparation was truly special, with the right amount of spice and flavor. The vegetables could've been more creative, but the fresh broccoli, carrots, green beans, and pepper were appreciated. The sweet tea is real (not that Sweet Peak slop other restaurants have been slinging around). The hush puppies were among the best I've ever tasted. The interior could be improved upon, made more comfortable without losing the authenticity. However, I didn't deduct a star because it's exactly what you would expect. Friendly service, and knowledge staff.

Oysters Rockefeller were great and cooked to perfection. I rarely talk about prices when I'm reviewing a restaurant but I can't help feeling that lunch was a little pricey. The tacos were only $5 each but the oysters were 25% more than what I paid someplace else yesterday. I knew that when ordered them so I'm not complaining about that. I'm just saying..And my wife's drink was $12. So, with a tip our lunch of 2 tacos and a dozen oysters was about $80. I can't do that too often. But I would certainly go back again, maybe skip the drinks next time??

This…read morewas my first time dining here (as I was visiting from out of town) but we had fantastic food and service! what made me choose this place to eat was because they are sea to table table -- I really love to support any local restaurants that care about where their food comes from. Plus, all the food was so delicious and the drinks were really good too. my mom ended up getting the crabcake Benedict and I tasted it and that was the best thing on the table for sure so if you go for brunch, make sure you get that. Or at least sit next to the person who did order it and have a bite of theirs. The Bacon Mary was really good/thick and it wasn't watery-- I didn't find it very spicy so if you want it spicy though. Great food, great service, and a really cool vibe with all the fish hanging from the ceiling. It was too hot to sit outside, but I'm sure with the right weather that could be nice too. Check it out if you're in the area, you won't be disappointed. (If you're balling on a budget, brunch is more affordable.)
