The fish were all covered when we arrived, but an employee quickly uncovered them so we could see the fresh catch. Ended up getting 2.5 pounds of peeled, deveined shrimp at what we felt was a very reasonable price. Pros: 1.) Good prices. Their prices for shrimp and other catch all seemed very reasonable. 2.) Good service. Employees were very attentive. Cons: 1.) Cocktail sauce. We love a spicy cocktail sauce, and the "spicy" one they recommended was hardly spicy at all. Very minor critique, but we love places that make their own and they only have premade brands. Would definitely stop in again to try out some of the other seafood they offer!

It is baked but with plenty of cheesy meat sauce, topping and delicious. The garlic bread was OK. The salad is a bagged salad and they give you a choice of dressings. Then, when you got to choose the pie, you could have Keylime or any of the other flavors which were pecan, chocolate, coconut, peanut butter, or pumpkin. Sorry, no pictures of the spaghetti. I guess I forgot that one. The owner and the girls behind the counter are super friendly & the service could not have been any better The only reason for four stars instead of five is it's on Styrofoam with plastic utensils which I do not care for.

Our last visit was decent, so we decided to give it another shot. However, tonight's experience was a complete disaster. We were seated promptly, but our server seemed annoyed that he had to wait on us and rushed us through the ordering process. He was rude and abrasive. We ordered flounder, and it was a complete disappointment. It arrived barely warm, tough, and dry. The most disheartening part was that most of it was nothing more than fried skin with little to no fish inside. We considered asking for a replacement, but our waiter never returned to our table again until he brought the check. He simply laid it on our table and said, "Pay up front." When I went to pay, the person behind the counter, who I assume was one of the owners, was lounging in his chair with his feet up, engrossed in his cell phone. He took the bill, rang it up, and said, "Tap or insert." Then he went back to his personal call. I understand that it's a family-owned restaurant, and the owners can do whatever they want. However, with the start of tourist season, they don't have to provide any customer service or care about the quality of their food. They'll still make a killing. While I know I won't be missed, I don't think I'll be returning anytime soon. There are too many other options available. See the photo for a visual representation of the poor quality of the food. It's definitely not worth $56 for two flounder fish specials.

Fried skin, basically no fish.

While the food wasn't bad necessarily it definitely feels as though it's gone a bit downhill since all of our past experiences. The staff at the ordering counter were very nice, but the bartenders could not have been ruder and genuinely detracted from our experience. I must say I do and always will love the ambience of this place. It's exactly what you want at a beachside seafood spot. I can't say that we will never come back but if our next visit is anything like our last, I don't know that we would return.

Our server, while not overly warm at first, provided good recommendations! After placing our orders, there was a short wait before our food arrived. We were all happy with our orders! The restaurant is fairly casual, and provides prompt seafood at a reasonable price. Pros: 1.) Outdoor seating. The restaurant has ample outdoor seating with nice views. I was skeptical of the under the bridge location at first, but it was quite nice. Cons: 1.) No drink menus. The restaurant had a full bar, and the server was able to provide us with a verbal draft list, but it was a bit odd not to have a printed drinks menu. Overall, this place provided quality fried seafood at a reasonable price. Nothing fancy, but definitely hit the spot.

Our favorites: the Calabash shrimp, fried scallops, and the marinated shrimp and scallops. Service was fast and accurate, servings were decent for the price. We will be returning!!!
