The Electric Shrimp are a bit pricey, but delicious - consider this for a meal if you like the coleslaw bed it comes on. I think there were 7 very large shrimp in this appetizer. The ambiance is rustic and there is a screened in patio that is nice and good for larger gatherings (there was a family of 10 celebrating a birthday and having a good time.

Huge portions but expensive with over $15 per sandwich and no sides included. Overall, everything tasted great, but a bit expensive for a lunch stop... but what isn't these days. We would come again, if in the area. The establishment is very popular, but the staff and kitchen does a good job of getting everyone served quickly and efficiently.

Menu is diverse enough to make it easy to select foods and still have meals that come back another time to try. For this small town, it's the best option for a good menu. Service is hit-or-miss--tonight was a hit. Our male waiter was pleasant and professional. Very pleasant to eat outside. There's a shade sail in place to keep the sun from shining in your eyes. I only score this as a 4 rather than 5 because the prices have gone up exponentially over the past few years compared to other restaurants in the area. I'd go there more often if I could get a break for being a regular visitor.

Ask them to bring out a few and try different ones. The habenero garlic one really has a kick but tastes great.
