I ordered a half dozen oysters on the half shell and the shrimp boil. The oysters were delicious and fresh. The shrimp boil was amazing. The shrimp were HUGE! The potatoes were cooked perfectly and the sausage was delicious. I couldn't eat it all. There was a lot of food! The owner told me they have music on Wednesday nights. I wish I was going to be in town. Maybe next time. I will definitely be back. Two big thumbs up guys! Y'all are great guys.

I was excited to try this family-owned restaurant because of the strong reviews, and I truly wanted…read moreto like it, but overall the food and value were disappointing for the price point, even for beachside seafood. My husband and I started with the buffalo shrimp, which is a go-to order for us at seafood spots. The buffalo flavor was good, but the sauce was very oily, and several shrimp still had bits of shell attached beyond the tails, so I ended up picking shell out of my mouth while eating. For my entrée, I ordered the snow crab and shrimp platter and asked for it to be cooked without butter but keep the old bay. The plate arrived with no discernible seasoning at all, and the seafood, potatoes, and corn tasted like they'd been boiled in plain water. When I asked about it, the server explained that they don't steam crab or shrimp in Old Bay, despite agreeing to that when I ordered, and that the platters rely on butter for flavor, which was disappointing for a $40-$50 dish. I'm giving 2 stars instead of 1 because my mother did enjoy her lobster platter. That said, her lobster was absolutely swimming in butter and Old Bay--not lightly drizzled as the menu implies--and it felt like butter was the main source of flavor rather than an enhancement. The server even mentioned how much butter the restaurant goes through in a day, which reinforced that this is their primary approach to seasoning. I enjoy seasoning and lots of flavor, and I prefer seafood that's cooked so the spices and the delicious taste of the shellfish stand out, not preparations that rely on heavy butter, so this restaurant ultimately wasn't a good fit for my preferences.

The colors, chill vibe, cool staff, toms of specials, this is an easy all the time spot to go to. I had trouble choosing what I wanted because everything sounded great and seeing the plates coming out of the kitchen I wanted all of it. Everything fried was good, the shrimp were fresh and the best of everything next to the calamari. The lobster roll was so chock full of lobster. Sometimes you have to look for it among the filling, but here it was flat out lobster, fresh, cooked to perfection, absolutely worth it. The lobster bisque was one of the top I've had. It was super filling, it could be a bit thinner considering it was a little on the thick side. It did have lobster pieces inside, and again, one of my top anywhere. Will give this another go one day!

Apparently I picked the wrong one--roasted grouper on cheese grits with corn and leek succotash. I also order a side of butter beans. My husband ordered the seafood linguine.

My husband's linguine had some ingredient--again maybe goat cheese--that he said he could do without. On the plus side, service was cheerful and efficient.

We walked in and asked to sit outside. I feel like this really upset the hostess because I heard a sigh and saw an eye roll. She said the table had to be cleaned. That's fine, we were happy to wait for what we anticipated would be a delicious meal. We waited 30 minutes for someone to wipe the table. Finally, another customer told the hostess that there were two clean tables and they were seated. We were then seated and were thankful the other couple noticed the availability. It's beautiful on the river! The bartender was also the server and she seemed frazzled and abrupt. We ordered quickly and the food didn't take too long to arrive, but it wasn't terribly hot. We had to ask for hot sauce twice. She forgot one of our sides and when we told her she loudly told a coworker that she had to go inside for grits. She seemed frustrated. The iced tea tasted like some kind of slightly flavored water. There was nothing extraordinary about the food. I've never seen grease under fried clams, but the grease was pooling under the entree. The greens tasted like they were from a can with no seasoning at all; hence the need for the hot sauce! The okra and tomatoes were also very bland, not unlike hospital food. We did like the coleslaw and the hush puppies. We told our friends that Corky Bell's was as awesome as they described (Lord forgive the lie), but we won't be back.
