    Great seafood spot in Eden! My youngest son and I stopped in here on a whim and glad we did. Our server was fast and friendly and the food was great! Ordered the broiled combo platter with a side of crab legs and everything was seasoned well and fresh. The crab legs were actually really good which is surprising for most local spots like this. Portions sizes were large like most seafood joints and prices were reasonable. The whole family now wants to come try it so we hope to be back soon!

    Large plate of shrimp, deviled crab, an even bigger piece of flounder and that heavenly potato
    Terri W.

    We wanted to take a nice drive to enjoy this beautiful day. Rodney used Yelp to find seafood in Rockingham County. The Fisherman's Galley in Eden, checked all the boxes. They opened at 12:00 and we got there around 12:30. People were still filing in but the building is a lot bigger than it appears and they've really maximized their seating layout. We got seated in a booth, with no wait. Our waitress immediately came by with napkins, silverware and took our drink order. We ordered our food when she brought our iced tea because we were thinking their would be a long delay. Guess what? It arrived piping hot within 5 minutes. I'm not kidding. FIVE MINUTES! I got the small size, two item combo of popcorn shrimp and fried flounder with fries, coleslaw and hush puppies. Hubs got the large 3 item combo of popcorn shrimp, flounder and a deviled crab with coleslaw, hush puppies and a baked potato. You can see from the pictures that the flounder was very large. It had such a clean fresh and mild flavor and man it was crispy goodness and no bones! The shrimp had just a light breading and were flash fried and that method really keeps them tender and lets the sweetness come through. The hush puppies were finger size, slightly sweet, moist and very light. We loved the creamy coleslaw, the tartar sauce was killer with the perfect amount of pickle and no onion. The cocktail sauce was also good but mild. The baked potato was outstanding. They have got to be cooking them old school in the oven. The inside was so creamy it was almost like mashed potatoes. I would definitely get the baked potato next time. Our ticket only had Server 24. I called them and asked if I could have her name. The gentleman asked questions about time and seat location and then got the seating chart. He told me her name was Bailey. He also asked if everything was ok and was very appreciative of our business. He could not have been nicer. Now more on Miss Bailey. As busy as they were, she took the time to chat with us about the clam shortage, public fishing access and even recommended Scoops when we inquired about local ice cream. She kept our tea full and checked back to make sure everything was correct, then verified we were enjoying it. She was this friendly and efficient with all of her tables. The busboys were the fastest we've seen and they sanitize all the tables. As soon as a table was clean, new people were seated. As we were leaving, there were 3 bus boys waiting and you could tell they enjoyed working together and kept things fair and efficient. The management must be top notch because this place runs like a well oiled machine. We will definitely go back during the week so we can stroll thru the little town after we eat. We also passed a cute Drive In movie theater! Lots to check out in Eden!

    Salad with *plenty* of cheese

    A popular local seafood place that many - based on other Yelp reviews - seem to go out of their way to enjoy. Mom had Senior order of fried popcorn shrimp w/baked potato and slaw and loved it. I had a salad to start, followed by a really well-seasoned and well-prepared serving of broiled grouper which came with fries and hush puppies, and I ordered a side of slaw at my Mom's suggestion. All of it was good, and Heather, our waitress, like the other servers, bussers, hostess, etc. were all friendly and polite. Oh, and we each had leftovers.

    Wanted a gd breakfast spot and this place was recommended to me…read more The outdoor and indoor decor is nothing fancy whatsoever. Upon entering, I realized how tiny the breakfast "buffet" was, but decided to step out on faith LOL and try it anyway. Mainly retirees and elderly people seem to frequent this establishment. Items on the buffet: a very small fruit bar on one side with cottage cheese, melon, pineapple and grapes I believe. A very small hot food bar on the left with ham, bacon, hot dogs, bologna, grits, eggs, cheese sauce for the eggs, sausage, French toast sticks, mini pancakes, fried potatoes, sausage/peppers/onions. Pros You do get a little variety of everything I suppose Excellent wait staff - very friendly and sweet Easy to get to Ample parking Cons Buffet was too small despite having so many items Price of $15 ....not worth it. Should be priced at $6 to $8. The food tasted subpar.You can make better breakfast @ home, in my opinion. Cheese sauce was disgusting...inedible

    Tried the pot roast, not so good. It's more like a stew with potatos in it and gravy. Not what I…read moreexpected. Usually you get thinly sliced beef from the roast with a brown gravy with your veggies. Won't get it again. Speedy's Diner pot roast is much much better. Back to them. Sirloin house has a nice breakfast, so we'll stick to that. Service was fine at the pick up desk. Girl was very nice.

I felt it was a decent price point for the experience. It also came out quick. The drink menu was vast, too. We ordered the weekend special in juicey and mild. It was very saucy but lacked flavor depth. I did taste and see the seasoning on the peices of corn tough. So, I know it was seasoned. I'm not sure what was used as a base. It didn't taste like butter. We tried the onion rings and mini crab cake (balls). The onion rings were lightly fried but still good. I usually prefer them darker. I still enjoyed the bite. Now, those crab cake (balls) were bomb. They were surprisingly good. I was so apprehensive when they were placed down. I was expecting a traditional crab cake. They were coated and fried but generously seasoned and oh so moist. They were delectable on their own but the sauce elevated them tremendously as I love sweet and spice. So cute, loved the decor. Huge establishment, very spacious. The back lighting was really nice. I like the cute Honeycomb design on the booths.
