It was a very busy Friday night and I think that they were overwhelmed. Would I eat there again? No.

It came highly suggested by the host of the beach house, as well as all the great reviews we saw online. This not a quick sit, eat, and be on your way type of restaurant, it's a long standing, very popular spot, and even getting their early, we still had a about a 45 minute wait. But we were able to get drinks, and take them out to enjoy by the water while we waited for our table. Because of the heat, they even had a cooler by the front door with free bottled water for guests to enjoy while waiting. Once seated, the waitress was very attentive, checking on us regularly, keeping the drinks coming and getting out order entered, and out to us pretty quickly. Not being a big seafood eater, I decided to give their meatloaf a try. It was fantastic, as were the mash potatoes and green beans it was served with. For desert, we got smores, which they brought out a flames, along with graham crackers, Hershey bars, and marshmallows to make them at your table. Overall, a fun experience, tasty food, and great atmosphere. It's a bit on the pricey side, but I'd say that's expected for a quality restaurant in a beach town. It's not tourist trap pricey, but you get what you pay for, which in this case is good quality food, decent portions! I'd go back on another visit, and would recommend to others.

Place opened at 4:45 and we were there at 4:35 with a full parking lot and a line out the door. Luckily, we had a small party of two and a toddler and our wait was only 20 minutes. The night before we tried to get in, the wait was an hour and a half. Overall the place was great! Place was really Clean, smelled good, and was nice and cool. The outdoor waiting area was nice with a little dock in the water, covered/shaded seating, rocking chairs and even a bag set. Food was mostly on point too! Fried green maters could have been cooked a little longer (still a bit crunchy for my liking), breading on the pork chops didn't stick as well to the meat as it could, mashed potato's were FIRE, and the seafood trio with rice and beans was nice. Beer was super cold, staff were nice, and bathrooms were clean. If I were in the area again I would go again.

We were here around 9:30 on a Saturday and waited about 40 minutes, but that flew by because we were able to go sit in their coffee/mimosa bar area and wait to be paged. The vibes in both spaces are pretty classic beach diner. It's a relaxed but busy atmosphere. Our waiter was super attentive and kind and we didn't feel rushed despite how busy they were. I had the Land and Sea Benedict, which comes on a giant biscuit and has fried green tomatoes, eggs done your way, shrimp, Cajun gravy, and bacon crumbles. I am particular about biscuits and this one was excellent (soft without being doughy, appropriately crumbly without falling apart). The tomatoes were super crispy without being overly greasy. My over-easy eggs were perfect, as were the shrimp, and the gravy was excellent. The grits I had with it really lived up to their reputation of being smooth and creamy, with no need for butter. My mom had the "Kitchen Sink" omelet, and very much enjoyed it. The ingredients were fresh and nothing was over or under done, which can be hard with such a variety of ingredients. The home fries that came with it were terrifically crispy. I also appreciate that they make their own hot sauce, as well as the mix for their Bloody Mary (which my mom also loved) I enjoyed my peach mimosa and got a kick out of all of the different flavor options. I'd love to explore their lunch menu too. I'll definitely frequent again next time I'm out this way!

Since it's mid-August, we happily chose to wait for a table inside rather than brave the heat. While we waited, we hung out in the bar area. It's small but really cute and inviting, with a ton of fun drink options. I'm pregnant, so I went with one of their mocktails, and it was delicious! The food was absolutely worth the wait. The portions are HUGE, everything was cooked perfectly, and the pricing felt very reasonable for the amount and quality of food you get. Seating inside is definitely a little tight, but that's really the only downside we found. Overall, we had a great experience and honestly didn't mind the wait at all.

Service 4/5: Service was friendly overall and pretty prompt Food 2/5: I think we caught them on an off day. The hush puppies and green beans were great. All the fish were unfortunately overcooked and severely under seasoned. And it was unfortunately not just our order but all our friends orders who also ordered to go. Not only was the fish unfortunately tough, but it desperately needed salt and flavor (missing the typical blackened flavor). We were all really disappointed especially since we had heard good things from some customers who had been before. Price 3/5: If the food had been solid, I would have ranked higher. I really would like this to love this place. They were efficient and ambiance was great, doing their best to accommodate the large crowds. But we unfortunately caught them on a bad day.

First, the hostess places our menus down, breakfast side up & even though the cutoff was 11, we arrived shortly thereafter so I had hopes that perhaps I could have breakfast vs lunch. I was promptly shut down by our server. I settled on fried clams that came with fries and butter beans. The butter beans had to have been straight out of a can as they had no seasoning or meat flavor. Even after I salted them, they were still flavorless. Our server was kind enough to remove them. The hush puppies and my bestie were the highlight of my lunch. Especially after hearing our server tell Bob's wife that she would see what kind of breakfast she could get the cook to wrangle up for her. Now, don't tell me no and yes to a regular because they threatened to "go somewhere else." That is a direct quote from the regulars (I could hear their conversation because the restaurant wasn't that busy.) Because my fries were under my clams they were soggy and I only ate 4 of them. It pains me to give them such a poor review but neither of us were impressed enough to even want to return. I do commend them for being so community involved & charitable to our western neighbors after the storm. Just wish we had had a better experience.

The mashed potatoes were uhhhh.... Probably dehydrated? I'd try potato salad next time instead. (For reference, I'm a simple mashed potatoes person--Idaho potatoes only, salt, butter, and evaporated milk... smooosh smoooosh smooooosh til thick, fluffy, and no chunks--so if that's you too....
