The atmosphere is still great, which is apparently where all the effort now goes, because the food has clearly been left unsupervised. We placed a to-go order because we had our dog with us and were sitting downstairs. Simple enough, right? Not exactly. We spent the next hour and a half playing a fun little game called "Where Is Our Food?" Downstairs told us to check upstairs. Upstairs told us to check downstairs. Very efficient system if the goal is confusion and hunger. When the food finally arrived, we had seafood chowder, onion rings, a hot dog, and hamburgers. The seafood chowder was still good, so congratulations to the chowder for surviving whatever has happened here. The onion rings were cold, the hot dog bun had a green mold spot on it -- always a nice surprise -- and the hamburger was honestly impressive in the worst possible way. I've had better burgers from fast-food chains that at least admit they're serving frozen patties. This used to be a staple. Now it feels like one of those places that got popular enough to stop trying. I won't be back for the food. Maybe drinks, because thankfully no one had to cook those.

We tried Mo's for a weekday lunch. There was only one table occupied when we arrived but a few more…read moreCustomers showed up before we left. For our lunch we split a Rustica pizza. Neither of us cared for it due to the overpowering taste of the fermented crust. Toppings were skimpy, but we couldn't really taste them due to the crust. Service was OK but as other reviews note, seemed very concerned about seating. It was a turn off for us. Beverages are priced by the glass and do not include refills. All in all, Mo's Wood Fired Kitchen was a one-and-done for us. Perhaps the rest of the menu is better than the pizza, but we're willing to take a chance and miss out on it.

So I'm new to the area here and off the bat there isn't many breakfast spots. My first visit was for breakfast and I ordered the biscuits & gravy with a side of patty sausage. I'm not a huge fan of their biscuits personally but let me just add I am very picky when it comes to biscuits. To most people their biscuits are probably really really good. The gravy was decent white gravy and the patty sausage was to be expected. Service was good. They check on you often and throw in a lil small talk here and there. It was obvious they had normal reoccurring customers in which they staff carried on conversation and joked around a lil with those patrons. I went back another day for lunch. Service was the same. Very nice pleasant staff again. This time I ordered the flounder sandwich and fries. Honestly one of the best fish sandwiches I've had in a long time. Fries were nothing special. Crinkle fries from a freezer bag which hey.... Don't most places? But to keep in the critiquing mind set they were fried perfectly. Place is a lil dated but looks like it's kept clean and in order. Definitely a favored local spot. Many many locals recommended it to me. I would definitely recommend this place to others.

The menu is limited, but that means that they have perfected everything!! If you're hungry, you may need to get two hot dogs. They are great, but aren't the biggest. The crinkle cut fries are standard hot dog establishment fries. Soft on the inside, crisp on the outside, you can't go wrong. The tea is weak and is a bit watery. The restrooms are clean but are old. When it's busy, you may have to wait for a table. You stand in line to order and then grab a table, so the line may be about 10 mins max. The service is great! They know what they're doing and are efficient. Just make the tea better!

The Marina is gorgeous, we sat inside because it was a little hot and humid outside , and we had the very best server named Lisa. She accommodated every single request from amending the drinks that we wanted and the salad that we ordered. We were scared of lettuce because of what's going on in the lettuce world, and so she specially made Salads for each of us that didn't have lettuce but had all the other ingredients and arranged them beautifully on the plate... we ordered for fifteenth dishes: steak, fish of the day- salmon, chicken picatta and chicken parmiasan and every single dish was excellent. The sauce was not a sweet sauce, it tasted slow cooked, well herded and seasoned and the portions were generous, we left stuffed to the brim... we did not even get a chance to look at the dessert tray, because they fed us so well. By the way, they started with bread with cheese, topping and a dish with olive oil, herbs and parmesan cheese shreds in it.And they kept replenishing that anytime we wanted more of it.Lisa was phenomenal as a server.She made us feel so welcome.She smiled, she did whatever we asked.It was an awesome experience and I highly, highly recommend this place.

Outdoor seating is available. Small tables inside and bar seating that was full. It seems the bar is a big hit. After reviewing the liquor menu, I see why. Some really good ones available. We were seated near the entrance at a small table. The server brought us water and took our orders after a few minutes. We ordered beef dumplings as an appetizer and we both ordered blackened ahi tuna tacos medium rare. The tacos come with chips and salsa. Our appetizer arrived fairly quickly and was great. As we were finishing our appetizer, our tacos arrived. From first glance they looked really good. Then everything kind fell after that. The flour taco shells were cold and looked store bought. The cheese was also similar to the store bought shredded Mexican blend. The sauce tasted like mayonnaise and ketchup mixed together. They use way too much purple cabbage with a nice portion of ahi tuna. The taste was ok. The cold shell and cheese kind of stole the flavor from the tuna. The salsa provided had a strange smoky almost chipotle flavor. I think. It left a strange aftertaste. We wanted to give this place a try. Not sure we'll be back. Our server was good. She was attentive and smiled. We still have her a cash tip that was pretty good. The restaurant has a great vibe and has a lot of regular customers, as evidenced by everyone greeting each other as they entered. Overall, I think three stars is fair. I recommend giving it a try, but not for tacos.

I finally got to eat at Loco Jo's. Three of us had lunch here five days ago…read more It's a small place with several tables and a bar. It's pretty small, so I don't suggest going with a large group of friends. Our waitress, Allison, was friendly and attentive. There's lots to choose from on the menu, including lunch specials. But I ended up ordering the buddha bowl, which had grilled pork. I asked for the Thai peanut dressing on the side. I never know how drenched a dish could be with the dressing. The bowl included rice noodles, cucumbers, other veggies. It also had sliced jalapeno peppers, which added a little kick, but still mild. One friend ordered the dumplings and a Caesar salad, while my other friend ordered the lemongrass curry with chickpeas. She wished she had it with chicken. Everything was delicious and flavorful, although the sliced cucumbers could have been seasoned or pickled. I brought home my leftovers, which I had for dinner. There was plenty of grilled pork, but unfortunately, four pieces were just fat and gristle . The chef needs to trim the pork properly and keep the chunks of fat/gristle out of the dish. That was disappointing. There are other items on the menu I would like to try. Overall, a very good lunch.
