    Dining area w bar
    James W.

    Food: not great but tasty and fairly inexpensive. Service: the servers were great every time that we visited. I'm not a fan of their management at all. I coordinate a group of friends that are not easy to organize. Granted it's a group that is supposed to be disorganized and arrive when you want but between 6-7:30 pm. Most times it's been easy to get a table in the back but lately they want the entire group there before we can be seated. I explain that some may arrive late and only want to drink but mgr persists to wait and I have to tell them that we'll meet somewhere else. Ambiance: perfect but I really wish that they had a bar and that they had liquor. I can bring my own liquor but a bar like the owners other restaurant would be really great.

    Grilled shrimp with garlic butter, Cajun rice, & broccoli.
    Lonnie J.

    My husband works in the area and we decided to meet up for lunch. He's tried a couple of different places in Statesboro but hasn't been impressed. That is until we tried The Saucy Shrimp. The waitress was prompt and polite and we were seated quickly. I ordered the grilled shrimp with garlic butter. The portion was quite generous with 4 skewers (16 shrimp) , a large side of Cajun rice and a large side of broccoli. The shrimp was COOKED perfect and incredibly flavorful. My husband ordered his shrimp blackened and said it was also good. He also ordered a side of hushpuppies which we thought were pretty epic. It came with a side of honey butter which we felt they didn't need. The puppies are sweeter rather than the more savory, drier kind so be aware if that's not your preference. I'm sure we will be repeat customers! I only took one picture because we'd already started digging in. Oops.

    New Sign, was Boiling
    Richard N.

    First time here after the name change, we where here on a Wednesday around 1:20 in the afternoon. The place was not very busy and only a few customers. Chris was our waiter, he was very nice and polite. Although he was slow, he would get back to you. I ordered a 16oz Beer that was cold. (If I had know it was $5.00 for it I would have passed.) I ordered Fried Fish and Shrimp with fries Basket $16.00 . The order came out very fast, but I had to send the fish back as they was not completely cooked. The Shrimp was fine but on the small side, I only about 8 with 4 Pieces of Fish. Over all I don't feel the place is any better than before, and I will look around before we return..

    Oyster and shrimp platter with coleslaw
    Margaret B.

    Well this place was along a route headed out of Savannah GA headed back to Alabama. I definitely wanted seafood so the stop was made. This joint wasn't busy at all. They only carry wine/beer, no cocktails. We tried the shrimp, oysters, a poboy, calamari and a seafood boil. Now the fried shrimp were amazing and if ever I walked through those doors again that would be the only thing I order. The seafood boil was pretty flavorless (we ordered medium heat with garlic seasoning) and the oysters I just returned. I couldn't eat them. They were little maybe previously frozen nightmares. The calamari were huge like onion rings and I didn't really understand them. Maybe they are frozen? They were chewy and not really delicate like a fresh calamari. If I lived in this little town I'd go for the shrimp. Fried. And coleslaw. The end.

    Oyster dinner
    Tony M.

    After receiving my oyster dinner, I was asked if everything looked OK? Upon my "no," the waitress said thank you and walked off. Obviously I requested to see the manager and promptly asked for a refund. As long as they're serving diet oysters in small portions, I will not be coming back!

Anna gave us some brief detail about the menu such as what's in Corn Maque Choux and made a suggestion about which cocktail was for dessert. Another big plus (especially here in the Boro) is the manager visited every table. Big points for all three minus the one that was supposed to be our waitress. Ambiance/Decor: It's a diner so it's a bit loud. But it was comfortable, this is Statesboro and I was still in my gym clothes so it was enjoyable. Cute bar. But I do wish for more noise softening. Food n drink: Nice cocktail list and robust for a small place. Grasshopper cocktail was good and perfect for after dinner cocktail. Fried Green Tomatoes appetizer was very good. Pasta Jambalaya was very good. I wasn't a fan of Fish Platter that I requested to be blackened. It was way too blackened in my opinion. The sides seemed over processed but I ate most of it.

I had a mushroom cheese quesadillas & it came with chips & salsa. Since the person I was with was also eating the chips & salsa I asked for more. No problem until we got the bill. The "suggestions" cost extra, and we were charged for the additional chips and salsa. If that's their policy okay, but please let the diners know ahead of time. Also, my quesadilla consisted of 3 pieces. Every other place I've ordered one there were 6 pieces & I took 3 home for the next day. Also, I'm considered tiny - 4'11", about 108# & 3 pieces was not enough food.

Most recent trip a lady at the GSU football game recommended it. Me and my two alumni buds opted to check out. It has a decent outdoor area and an interior that reminds me of Taco Mac. Atmosphere was good and our server was great. The Buffalo chicken artichoke dip with points was the only thing I enjoyed food-wise. The fried green tomatoes weren't really seasoned and the tequila lime chicken sammie wasn't anything to write about. Ordinary. I guess if you're a college student, this place will suffice for price, food proportions and atmosphere. I do like it's not a chain and always want to support local. Average, however. Maybe I need to try a different menu item ...
