It is true that you can't see the menu while in line, but you can go inside and look. Which is not a big deal because while in there, grab a beer from their beer cooler, put one of the koozies on it to keep it cool, and go back and stand in line. You'll pay for it when you order. They also have a server who asks for drink orders from the line (it's much quicker to grab a beer than wait for a mixed drink). We ended up sitting at the bar because two spots opened up. Their mixed drink options are impressive and they are delicious!!! The food is simple while being tasty, filling, and affordable. Onion rings were fried perfectly and not greasy. It is honestly worth the wait. You're on vacation!

I ordered the Cheesy Charlie (ribeye with white cheese sauce) and was expecting something hearty on a proper hoagie roll with a rich, beer cheese-style sauce. Instead, it came on what was essentially a hot dog bun with a small portion of shaved ribeye. For the price and description, it felt pretty underwhelming. Drinks were just okay--nothing memorable either way. Overall, the atmosphere is a big win, but the food was a major letdown and honestly pretty disappointing.

Seafood nachos are a must! A half order is plenty for 5 people. Ribs fall off the bone.read more

Heck yes I'd come back here again!…read more My husband and I are visiting the area on vacation and, of course, I needed my fix of southern style fish, so I picked this place for lunch. We were seated right away(all inside seating with view of the bay) and given delicious hush puppies. We order half and half tea which was still sweeter than I'd like most of the time but good. They bring you a pitcher which is nice since things got busy and we didn't have to bother the waitress. We also ordered the crab balls as an appetizer. They were good, but were not needed as we got our plates at the same time and our plates were huge with more than enough food for us. I got the deviled crab to try something new. Reminded me of thanksgiving stuffing but seafoody. Loved it. The potato salad was really good, and so was the Cole slaw, but sooo sweet. It was like dessert for me. My husband got to fried shrimp and was by far the best we've ever had. The shrimp alone was a 10/10. I loved how thin the batter was and they were perfectly seasoned and cooked. You didn't need any sauce to dip them in and the minimal batter didn't leave your mouth coated in grease like most. I gave it a 4 because the menu didn't have descriptions so i had to ask what things were and the waitress didn't like seafood so it was hard to know what was a favorite or not. May be silly so some, but if you are particular or not from the area, there's several things you'd have no idea what they were, like deviled crab. The pricing was amazing though. My husband and I have ate this cheap in forever let alone on vacation. Hope you enjoy it too!

We waited 1:45 to be seated, which we agreed to. We waited another 15 minutes to be greeted by a…read moreserver. Services was very slow. We were seated 35 minutes before we placed our orders. The water was very chlorinated. The tea was weak but sweet. The crab dip was mostly filler, not much crap with stale pita. The prices are outrageous and the market price for crab changed $20 per pound from check in to being seated. The food was overall not good. The crab legs were good, the slaw and applesauce was good, the firecracker shrimp they gave us as an apology were the best thing we had. The flounder, catfish, crab cakes and other sides were overcooked and bland. Our service continued to be super slow as we were only checked on 1 time the entire time we were eating. The server's attitude was very much an I don't care attitude. The manager came to talk to us about the bill after they asked us how we liked the food. The bill was $250 full price and they took off two of the meals bringing it down to $180. Very little was even edible for $180. This definitely seemed more like a tourist trap than a real restaurant.
