The server was extremely welcoming and recommended a few options for our table. We ordered the chips and guacamole (their produce was local) and we all ordered burgers and sandwiches- The Pit and the Pendulum, Rue Morgue, and the Hop Frog. Everyone loved their sandwiches and the amazing fried onions. At first the spicy margaritaI drank was too sour, however the bartender put extra agave in it which made it taste a lot better. We stopped back again the next day with another set of friends and they loved the burgers as well. Poe's is great option for family friendly restaurant.

Our food was outstanding but the way this was handled was even better. Highly recommend

While we were there, lots of people were coming in for full meals, and the atmosphere was really cute and welcoming. It definitely seems like it would be a great spot to sit down for breakfast or lunch as well. Perfect beachy coffee shop vibe!

This is the worst place I've ever visited in life and I do food review all up and down the east…read morecoast. I'm extremely disappointed. I saw so many tik toks about this place so I drove a little over two hours to visit and was surprised that it didn't look as good as it presented online. Starting off, I walked in and wasn't greeted at all by the host who I kindly asked to help me locate the restroom. When I came back from the bathroom, I sat at the bar waiting on my boyfriend to park his car to join me. As I sat at the bar, the bartender completely ignored me and didn't offer me a water or anything else which I had to request. My boyfriend came inside the restaurant after a very sweet, skinny Caucasian girl with long hair with a pony tail assisted him with parking (we're not from this area but come every year for the past 3 years). This lady was the only reason why we even decided to place an order at this restaurant. As we ordered our food, my boyfriend reassured me he would be more comfortable knowing I had more space being seated at a table. We requested to be sat at a table after placing an order at the bar. Once seated, I spotted a orange dot in my water (that I had to request) and as we were being seated, we requested a booth near the window and were informed there was a reservation for that specific booth although the entire restaurant was practically empty. Not only that but the host didn't wait until we were seated to allow us to finish our order, we made adjustments to the order we placed at the bar AT THE HOST STAND. Never have I been to a restaurant where the you make adjustments to your order at the host stand, he could've waited until we were seated to make sure our order was correctly placed while grabbing us both a water but neither the host or bartender did that. Overall, while visiting, I had to ask a series of questions that could've been avoided if I had just been acknowledged and given the basic decency of someone who works in a hospitality industry. Never have I had to sit down at a bar and request to be served or any restaurant in general. Other than that, the restroom was extremely uncleanly. The staff was passive aggressive and the server who took our order was practically whispering under his breath after I had already informed him I have a hearing impairment. This is the last place on the entirety of east coast I'd recommend you to eat. I'd suggest going to McDonald's before recommending this place- genuinely. Please bring Guy Fiery back, the menu was also overpriced for basic food items and we eat everywhere from dive bars to top scale expensive five course and Michelin star dinners... never again.

He had a great recommendation of the Malbec (Zuccardi) wine, which we were given a huge glass of. Would go back just for that wine. Best bite of the night was truly the Rockefeller Oysters, which come with a fresh biscuit but Kyle made sure I had the saltines I really love with them. Those were *eyes roll back in your head* REALLY good, especially for the quality of the cheese. Second best was the Blue crab pasta, which used local crab, but I think average flavor overall. Great portion and loved the capers but, didn't get the depth I expected from shallot and white wine sauce. I wouldn't get the salmon gyros again, even as creative that combo sounds the salmon was overwhelmingly not fresh and there wasn't enough tzatziki to cover it up. We loved the toasted naan and fries. Kyle told us the staff loves to get the salmon gyro but with fried chicken instead, I may try that next time. Overall a fabulously efficient and positive vibe from every staff member I interacted with, could certainly come back and eat another dozen oysters.

The sushi coming out of the kitchen also looked fantastic and is definitely something I'd like to try on a future visit.

We came three times on our recent vacation. The first time my husband had a burger, and I had shrimp tacos. Then we tried the half price sushi happy hour, which is a great deal.

On our third visit, my husband ordered another burger and I had the fried shrimp platter. We can't wait to go back when we visit the area again.
