Awesome find!! Inside a strip mall but what a treat. We started by splitting a bowl of Key Crab soup AWESOME!! We then decided to try their daily lunch specials. We tried the Meatloaf, mash potatoes and broccoli again AWESOME. The second special was fish and chips just ok nothing to brag about, fries could have been cooked a little longer and the fish was a little over cooked somewhat dry. But our server did an awesome job very friendly. Will definitely return looking forward to trying their other daily specials. read more

Been going to this place for awhile. Usually to meet friends for a drink. Great place. Went for lunch the other day with my mom. We tried the margarita pizza, it was absolutely fabulous. The crust is unlike any other in the area. Definitely am going to try another pizza selection next time. read more

We found this gem near our hotel. We went on a late night and I *thought it was pretty empty. The bartender was serving the whole dining area. I was hangry and maybe that was the servers initial reaction to me at first--a scrowl. However, she served us immediately and was chatty with other patrons. As we chatted with her she become so friendly. I could tell she was one of those rough around the edges but great people. Anyway she was very nice and attentive and we had a banter back and forth. Good times. The surprise was the food. It was amazing!! My party had salads, cheesesteak, and the chipotle burger. The chef was so nice and even came out to talk to us. We didn't have any alcoholic drinks but I could tell this was the place for it. *so the restaurant wasn't empty there was an extra area in the book. With pool tables and tvs!! We would definitely go back when in the area. read more

Pizza! Pizza! Pizza! What a surprise this was!!! Bartender Jen was awesome and recommended the pizza which was absolutely Delicious! Hawaiian pizza rocked as well as the Supreme and just plain ole pepperoni and cheese. Will definitely be coming back here but hopefully when weather is nicer. They have an awesome outdoor area but it was too cold so tarps were down. However, we were still able to play cornhole inside! read more

Crystal is a great waitress, she served every patron in the restaurant with a smile, we never had to ask she was right there, food was good, especially the wings and pizza, drinks was priced great as well. read more

We stop here frequently on our motorcycle runs. It's usually our start or end point. Great little place. Nice outdoor space to hangout and you can even play Cornhole. This time we actually ate here. Being a bar I wasn't expecting amazing food. I was so wrong! I ordered the Tuna Steak Sandwich. It was the best Tuna Steak I have ever had! Cooked perfectly. And the sauce was a perfect addition. They also make their own fried potato chips. They are awesome! I will order this sandwich every time I come here! read more

My husband and I picked this place because of their .50 cent wing night and ended up getting garlic Parmesan wings, buffalo wings, surf n turf, and the Carolina skiff. The amount of food is insane! This looks like just a bar, but you quickly learn that the chef takes a lot of pride in the food he prepares, and it shows. Manny, the bartender/waiter was the nicest guy who seems to really enjoy what he does. You can tell that the locals are fond of him with his nearly 7' towering stature but sweet demeanor. There is a huge back area with a second bar, corn hole boards, and pool table. I will definitely be back to this place! Only negatives which are definitely not deal breakers.... I had to salt the fries and steak but the other seasonings were good, the batter on the shrimp is a little too thick, the ranch dressing was just a run of the milk bottled dip which should definitely be turned into something homemade to go along with those awesome house chips and fries. Overall, awesome place! read more

Hands down the best bloody Mary's in town! The food was phenomenal! We ordered the ahi tuna bites blackened/rare, blackened chicken skewers, side of potato salad and the stingray burger with swiss cheese and bacon.... the tuna bites literally are the best I've ever eaten (high five to the cook) the chicken was extremely juicy and cooked just right. Not one complaint. Highly recommended as this will be our sunday spot for a while. read more

Food very good, people always nice. Fun place. Had the shrimp and oyster cocktail was very good. Last time I was there had the she crab soup. The soup is great! read more

I like coming to this place on Wednesday night for their bike nights. Always a good crowd and atmosphere. Waitresses and bartenders are good and quick. Food is good and the beers are always cold. They have live music on bike nights and the other times it is from a juke box. They have pool tables and corn hole boards set up in the back outdoor patio area. good people and a good environment to have a few drinks and socialize. They have a really sweet spot that I am glad to come to. read more

Worst service I've had in a while. Was hoping to find a nice local place, but after a 1/2 hour I still didn't get a menu.

This looks like an interesting locals hangout. I definitely stood out as a non-local when I walked in. I got my food to go. They did not have the tuna dish I wanted available, so I got the blackened tuna over salad instead. You could put that tuna on anything and it would taste great. read more

They have the best she crab soup I have ever had. The sandwiches aren't my favorite, but I have had the fried shrimp cocktail and liked it a lot. The bartenders are awesome. What is really neat is there is a semi-outside bar for the smokers, and a corn hole area for tournaments. I'm not a smoker, but it is nice that people can sit in either area and have what they want. If you go, have the soup! It is great! read more

Been through here MANY times and have, with a few exceptions, always had a positive experience. The burgers are great, the fries are crispy, the deep fried shrimp (when available) is always done just right, and the staff is AMAZING! The beer is always cold, the mixed-drinks are always well prepared and the sweet-tea tastes just like grandma used to make it. We enjoy shooting pool on the outdoor patio and have attended several fund-raisers here. Everyone is attentive, friendly, quick to address any problem or issue and they do it with a smile. Customer service at it's absolute best. The two stars off is not really due to the establishment itself and is no way relative to the staff or food. I'd like to say I can't fault them for the behavior of other customers.....but the overall experience is what makes or breaks an experience, right? My husband and I have been up here several times on Bike Night and have decided that it's a night we will avoid in the future. Being bikers, we expect loud crowds having a great time. There is one particular crowd seemingly lead by a very rude woman. Because of the way she interacts with some of the customers, my husband actually asked the bartender (super nice friendly TALL man, he knows who he is!) if she was the new owner or manager and was assured no and asked why. My husband just said that if she WAS, she needed to be fired. She's friendly with people when they come up to her, acts like she is their best-friend, and then as soon as they walk away she starts bad-mouthing them. My husband actually heard her threaten to kick over some guys bike. And it's not pleasant listening to her openly discuss the escapades she has had with other women's boyfriends or husbands. There have been once or twice when we have gone in on regular days/nights and we leave because she is there. We don't want our love of The Key soiled any more than it has been. Take those experiences out of the equation and this place is FIVE-STARS ALL THE WAY. Just sad that others have to ruin it for everyone else. read more

Great burgers and the homemade chips are worth the trip in itself! I had the Carolina Skiff burger and the Mrs had the tuna steak burger and was by far the best we have ever had. Highly recommended... read more

Food was disgusting and the service was awful. I will never go back to this nasty place. STAY AWAY AND GO ELSEWHERE

If you are looking to drink and maybe grab a bite to eat this is your place. If your looking to have a nice dinner and be waited on... Not a place I would recommend. One bar tender services a bar of 15-20 seats plus the 6-8 booths. Food was alright but certainly wasn't worth the hassle of wondering who would take your order, waiting forever for drinks... read more

Band was awesome. Love Ed Cassidy, Great entertainment. New menu Pizzas are huge and as good as Eastside. Staff members are wonderful and corn hole boards in the back keeps your competitive side busy. Great time. Bill wasn't crazy for a night out. Will definitely be back. read more

Back again. We come here on a regular basis. The food is always cooked perfect. This isn't a what you see is what you get. What you get is better !!! read more
