Our server promptly brought drinks and gave us plenty of time to review the menu. She was appropriately available to us and we never felt rushed. With it being our first visit to this fairly new restaurant, we decided to start with appetizers. We began with Snapper Bites and were immediately pleased at the presentation. Quickly, we were very satisfied with the taste and texture of the dish. It was well suited for sharing by three diners and even had a substantial leftover amount, which the server prompt packaged to go after taking our order for the next round of appetizers. Our next round was 3 cups of crab bisque, beautifully garnished and served at the proper temperature. The bisque was delicious and well suited for us as we prefer flavor over heat. It was very smooth and delicious. Our third order was for a dozen grilled oysters. They also arrived hot and delicious. Drinks order from the bar all came back well blended, balanced and delicious. Our visit, though quite long due to having an excellent time, was never rushed at any point. Perfect atmosphere for friends. Overall, we all agreed that we would return soon to continue our adventure through their menu.

This was our second time eating at Wild Wing Station and we have officially found our local wing…read morespot! We used the Wild Wing Station website to order our meal for pickup. We ordered the 8 piece boneless wings the Hot sauce ($10), 35 piece bone-in wings in Medium & Honey Mild sauce ($40), and the large portion of fries ($4). It was an estimated 20 minute wait to pickup which is perfect since we live 15 minutes away. When we arrived at WWS, we were immediately greeted and I told them my name. A very nice man gave us our food (5 minutes early) and showed us the wings and fries before leaving. The team members are always nice the both times and ask if I needed any dipping sauce before I leave. The wings started perfect and the Honey Mild was a family favorite. I would only buy the bone-in wings from now on since they are the stand out. I cannot wait to try the other flavors. The only thing about the food is I wish the fries had some sort of seasoning. They are completely plain. Our total was $58.29 and we had tons of leftovers. I would definitely order again.

(I recommend doing that, especially during lunch.) One of my good friends sent recommendations. My husband got the French dip. I hesitate calling it a poboy because I'm from NOLA, and outside south Louisiana, it's just a sandwich . I got the grilled shrimp lunch special with fries. Honestly, spend a little more and get the platter. I'd get them fried, but I can't have gluten. I risked cross contamination and got the fries. They were absolutely worth it. Fortunately, I didn't have a reaction. Trevor was our server, and he was excellent. You could tell he knew the regulars and locals based on how he'd approach new diners. He also gave really good recommendations. The vegetable of the day was a casserole, and Trevor told my husband that was better than the fries. My husband inhaled that casserole. If you're an Elvis fan, request to sit at the table. Overall, I'd definitely come back. For being on Open Table, just know this is a casual restaurant on the bay. Nothing frilly - just good, southern cooking. We will be back!

The chargrilled oysters unfortunately came with quite a bit of shell, which made them difficult to enjoy--though we did manage to find some actual pearl in there, so small win and fun! The grilled fish and shrimp were noticeably overcooked, and my husband's fried shrimp leaned the same way, lacking that fresh, tender bite you hope for. Sides were decent but didn't particularly stand out for my grilled dinner. Husband said slaw and hush puppies were good, my green beans were delicious. Overall, it's a lovely place with great service, but the kitchen execution didn't quite match the setting. With a few tweaks, this could easily be a standout spot.

What a great quaint little restaurant! I've been here several times, and it is quickly becoming on of my favorite lunch spots. Very simple, county-style cooking specializing in Meat and 3 plates.

It was a Friday night and the music was loud, you can sit at the bar or at a table. It was several people eating in. We decided on the Wings with Cajun Nawlins fries, and the Bando Nachos. The Bando has a full menu and bar. The service was great and it wasnt a long wait for the food. I asked for sour cream and salsa for the nachos and they didn't have any so I stopped by the store to get some. I was super excited to try the food. It was super salty. Everything was salty. I tried to move past it because I was so hungry but it completely dried my mouth out and I had to stop. I was really disappointed.

I had the Chicken and Strawberry Crack Waffle and my friend had the Lamb Chops, Shrimp and Grits. Everything was so good! Big A came to greet us and we told him about our food a few nights before and he explained that the meat is marinated and they probably seasoned it again. He was very apologetic.

When I arrived I saw the parking lot was looking like they had a busy crowd. I got inside and it did seem a little busy. I told wait staff at the front that the bar would be fine for me to sit. I had no idea what to get but I knew I was leaning in the direction of pancakes or waffles. The lemon ricotta pancakes seem like they would be good. I ordered that and a side of bacon. The person at the bar was very helpful and was attentive. My food came back in no time. In my head I don't know why pictured the lemon ricotta being in the pancakes as opposed to the lemon ricotta being a sauce. It didn't matter the pancakes, with the sauce and the strawberries were delicious. I hadn't had pancakes in a while so I can say these were the best pancakes I had in a long time. And as the sidekick to the pancakes the bacon was pretty good too. I would definitely recommend First Watch. I would definitely be mindful that it will probably be busy if you have more than one person.
