    Nice lounge with local favorite. Love the burger and fries delicious. Service was fast for ordering Togo.

    Whenever I visit a new place, I always like to ask what local's like and all arrows pointed to this spot. It definitely didn't disappoint as it's filled with a great bar energy in its dimly lit environment. It is also open really late and if you want to keep the party going or call it a night after, this is your spot. The service was great as we sat at the bar and was greeted by one of the sister owners I believe. We came here specifically for their well known burgers but we also had drinks while we waited. She was super nice as us non locals stick out like sore thumbs. It was definitely a great memory that I unforgettably forgot due to the intoxication level we were at this point. But I do remember the burgers were really amazing that we even decided to buy a shirt to commemorate our visit there.

    Amazing light and decor

    Staying locally, we asked the clerk of the hotel where ( on Thanksgiving Day) we could go have a drink. He suggested The Project Lounge. It was literally minutes away. He described it as a "local hole in the wall". When we arrived, the building was very small. Our expectations were not very high. You could hear what sounded like rap music playing before we opened the door. We were hesitant as this is not our jam at all. The first thing we noticed was the lack of lights. The entire place is very dim. This did not bother us in the least, just surprising. It was kinda of calming and cool . Much to our liking, there were plenty of tables to sit at and a long bar that had several people sitting and laughing! The bartender greeted us immediately as we sat at the bar. This place turned out to be epic! People from all walks of life came and went in the two hours we were there. The food oh the food- it seems everyone came for their Thanksgiving because the gentleman cooking those burgers, tuna burgers and other delightful smelling items never stopped- well, only to make eye contact in a cool sorta smooth way! Our only complaint was the music. Too much rap for our liking. Even with the younger people that came in from the lock airbase, seems everyone starting moving and tapping their feet when dance music from the 80's and 90's came on. I wished smoking wasn't allowed. But , it would not keep me from visiting this local hotspot with their fantastic crew and amazing decor! Just lessen options on the rap! Oh and cash only!

    Yummy cook

    We wandered into this pub a few weeks ago and honestly I'm still thinking about it…read more I loved the bar! Incredibly quick service, friendly staff, and the drinks kept on coming! I ended up ordering the seafood boil (it's called something else but the name escapes me) and the Cuban sandwich because I was feeling extremely hungry. The Cuban was good, I would say nothing special as far as Cubans go but the boil was great. I got a bit lost in the sauce while eating it so I no doubt embarrassed myself as I completely escaped reality while eating it. We went earlier in the day so the bar wasn't too social but anywhere you sit in the pub is comfortable. Anyway, before I knew it I was 5 drinks deep and being the lightweight I am, I decided to clock out to make it home for bedtime at 9. I get sidetracked...if you're on the fence and are reading this now, just go.

    I've been going to Adventures for years every time I am at the Coast to watch football, drink beer…read moreand eat oysters. Last night I was on the Coast for the Candlebox concert at 8. We arrived at 6:30. Got seated really quick and ordered drinks and the Chargrill Trio. Oysters came out in about 10 minutes. They were great. As soon as they hit the table the lady I was with ordered chicken wings and I ordered an oyster Poboy. Her wings came out in about 10 minutes. After 45 minutes I still had not received my Poboy. I told the waitress to take it off the bill cause we had to go to the Hard Rock and my companion was done. She said they don't do that and told me she would check with Manager. She came back and told me they were almost done with it and would box it up to go. I told her I didn't want it because it would be sitting in my vehicle until probably 2 in the morning. She told me she wasn't taking it off the bill and got smart with me. I proceeded to tell her to just go get the F-ing bill. Next thing I know security is over at my table. He told me they gave my Poboy to someone else and was making me another. I told him I didn't want it. Anyway, I left Poboy on the table and paid my $90 bill. I can promise you I will never be back and will not be recommending this place to anyone else ever again. They really should fire our waitress! She has a smart mouth, never came to table to ask if we wanted refills nor did she care that I didn't get to eat with my friend and lied about why I had not gotten my Poboy yet. You can check my reviews everywhere I travel around the country and see I am not the one to complain unless service is horrible.

They also do amazing shrimp and other seafood. This location is off the beaten path but easy to find due to close proximity to the Interstate. Parking is gravel lot so you just fit your vehicle where you can. Usually if you can find a space, there will be a table open so keep that in mind if you think it might be too busy and you don't want to wait. In addition to the great stuff like boiled shrimp or crawfish, they also have wonderful poboys that are packed with whatever you want on them. I opted for grilled shrimp on my last visit, but fried shrimp is great as well. If you order an optional side, you will get plenty like onion rings, fried okra, or fries. They also have daily specials like shrimp or catfish baskets, and currently on Saturdays you can get a pound of royal reds with potatoes and corn for roughly twenty bucks. Royal reds are a premium kind of deep sea shrimp that are more like lobster and very meaty. I highly recommend trying them if you've only ever had regular gulf shrimp before. Service here is always good because the place is small and they keep it well-staffed. Waitresses will keep your drinks filled constantly and they pay attention well. You won't be ignored here, so service is quick and the food comes out fast. Definitely give this place a try.

They had homemade tartar sauce she was just very obsessed with. The kids chicken strips were good portions for the price and tasted pretty good. On the flip side, I didn't really LOVE my swamp dog. The hot dog itself was lukewarm and I wasn't terribly impressed with the sauce on it. I did like the idea of it being on French bread. I'd love to see them either change up the sauce's ingredients or give chili a try. The French fries were pretty underseasoned and some of them tasted a little undercooked to me. As well seasoned as the fish and chicken were, I was a bit surprised by this. All 3 staff members were really wonderful. We were the only customers as we got there right after they opened. We were in and out very quickly and they were very sweet to our young children. It's got a great view on the balcony on the water. You'd expect the inside to be more dive bar than not but I was pretty pleased with how clean the inside was, especially the bathrooms! My only other complaint would be the lack of a drink menu. I'd love to see them add one, especially drink specials based on the location on the water. A lot of potential with that there. I'd say I'd give the experience a 3.5 out of 4 because of the hot dog and fries. However, I'll give it a 4 because they nailed everything else. I'll give it another visit sometime soon and order other food to see if an updated review could move the needle up or down.
