    French onion soup
    Scott P.

    Great bar with an awesome breakfast on weekends. Quality food, service, and extremely reasonable prices. Available on Uber Eats. Pro tip - you need cash for drinks but you can pay for food with a card. Bernie is a great bartender!!

    Chicken Fiesta Salad

    I understand that customers in the store are probably the priority but I wouldn't have placed a delivery order if I knew it was going to take THREE hours and it was not the drivers fault (I could track it) The amount of veggies was probably less than a cup. It was also delivered HOT from the chicken and poor choice of container. That didn't bother me that much but I know hot lettuce grosses out a lot of people. The chicken cutlet was decent though

    Bumping up another star based on our experience last night. As always the Waterfront has good service and great views if you can snag a table on the roof deck. We visited with a party of 8 and everyone enjoyed the food and drinks. They added pizza to the menu this year and as skeptical as I was I decided to try it, as did 2 others in my party. I have to say I was impressed. The pizza was served in a pan and had a thin, crispy crust with a slightly sweet tomato sauce. I ordered the "Roni" which was generously topped with pepperoni, long hot peppers, and hot honey. I thoroughly enjoyed it and only finished half because the size was bigger than expected (2 can share). Oh well, leftovers for me...yay! I also have to give kudos to the French onion soup which was the best I've had on the island yet (another surprise).

    Surf and Turf Burger

    Myself and some coworkers have been frequenting this spot for lunch regularly. This place is pretty solid. It's a very well kept restaurant/bar with plenty of seating and really good food. I've tried quite a lot of items on their menu at this point. To date, everything I've ordered has been really good and nothing has disappointed me yet. I think my favorites are the "Surf and Turf Burger" and the "Pineapple Grilled Chicken Sandwich". The Surf and Turf Burger has a deep fried shrimp in the patty with coleslaw and sauce. Everything about it was cooked perfectly. The Pineapple Grilled Chicken Sandwich has this amazing sauce that goes really well with the chicken. Only thing to keep in mind is that they are cash only. That's the only criticism I have of the establishment. Luckily their prices are pretty competitive, especially considering the area and the competition. This is a great lunch spot, we are always in and out within our lunch hour. So I have absolutely no other complaints other than being cash-only and would highly recommend checking it out.

    An okay, fairly buttoned-up but unremarkable bar and eatery with a view of water, but definitely not situated on the water - it's across the street. Anyway, there's an open spacious area when you walk in, with a super large rectangular bar front and center with a bunch of high tops scattered around, and a separate dining room with lower tables to the side. Pretty standard layout and pub menu, heavy on the burgers and wraps and nachos. The room is decently lit with a bunch of TVs scattered around, but nothing exceptional and not dive-y. The real party is upstairs where there's more outside seating, an open bar with a tropical vibe, and a much better view of the water channel across the street. A much more vibrant atmosphere up there if that's what you're after.

    CASH BAR ONLY!!!!! HIGHLY IMPORTANT!!! Honestly, I like this place! It's a very laid back vibe on the inside at a large bar and plenty of seating all around. The food was all very good, it did take way too long to come out tho, definitely order the soup if you are worried about that. The crab bisque was yummy. I'd like to try the second level and live music next time; or order takeout if it's a good beach day. Another perk is they offer daily specials for lunch and dinner. Keeps it exciting

    French Onion Burger

    This restaurant has a waterfront but it's not along the coast. There's a canal across the street that makes it waterfront. We opted to sit inside with the air conditioning as opposed to outside where it was awfully windy and humid. The tv in the dining room had a loop of the beautiful food that they serve. We had a chicken tender appetizer, which was pretty basic frozen )but actually quite yummy. For dinner, I chose the fresh flounder, served with chunky mashed potatoes and a vegetable medley. My husband got the French onion burger, which he devoured. Our food too an awfully long time but it seems they had a ton of take out food to make before ours. They do have happy hour specials Monday- Thursday

The service is shit! 1000/10 do not recommend. We had reached out ahead if time to ask if there'd be room for a decent size group on a Tuesday to watch a championship game. They had that on one tv then on the other tvs were highlights and then a regular season baseball game. We got there had, to ask numerous times to put the game on the tv where we were sitting. Then a smaller group who was there for the baseball game ended up asking the bartender to change the game sound to the baseball game. Which we were confused because we were told that we would be good had we asked the bartenders and the MOD was aware. Well that wasn't the case. Now for the food.... Well there's a few different things that were missing or just unacceptable. I had ordered wings which when ordering asked some clarifying question and even asked to sample the sauce to see if I could handle it. I got the sauce. Tried it and it was bearable that I could eat them with ranch/ blue cheese and handle it. Well when the food came out. They didn't even taste the same. They were dry and not very saucy and they tasted like they just had hot sauce on it. I even asked someone who likes hot sauces to taste both the sample of the sauce as well as the wing and he immediately said there was a difference. On top of that, they forgot sauce on one cheesesteak and a side of sauce for someone else's fries that was requested... When the server(bartender) came back after awhile I had said that I couldn't eat the wings as they were too spicy and had requested if I could get the truffle Parmesan INSTEAD. when I went to hand the plate back as I did not want to eat the wings. He had asked me if I wanted a box for them. I said well I can't eat them they're too spicy. And he again said I can get you a box and I said I mean I won't eat them though and again mentioned the box and I said I mean i guess but I can't eat them. I asked for the replacement because I could not eat them. And I was fully prepared to give them back to be replaced. I also stated to get the other wings boxed up. We immediately also asked for checks as we were already not happy with the situation ongoing. When I received my check it showed that I was getting charged for 2 orders of wings and not just one. I did not want two orders of wings. I wanted one order that I would be able to eat because I couldn't eat the initial order that was served to me. When he came back to grab checks I explained that I wanted the other wings to replace the wings I was served which was why I didn't want the box. The man looked at me like I was speaking a different fucking language. Then when I proceeded to ask him to just cancel the 2nd order of wings and fix my check to reflect such, he questioned it like he was stunned that I even bothered asking. And to top it all off, as we were leaving they smirked and laughed like it was funny that we had a bad experience. I have worked all of my life in customer service type positions whether that be serving, bartending or other services and honestly it was actually sad that we come there for the first time and it is fully going to be the last as well. Do better.

They have so many options and delicious combinations on the menu that it was difficult to commit to just one. I settled on the California which was warm lobster with drawn butter topped with wasabi-avocado-cucumber aioli sauce. It was loaded with melt in your mouth fresh giant chunks of lobster meat. It also came with a generous side of delicious tater tots, homemade coleslaw, and street corn which was nice and spicy too. While I was waiting they handed me a complementary homemade lobster bisque also loaded with lobster meat. It was fantastic. I took everything to go and enjoyed it on the beach....perfect.

This is the second best! It is also the second most expensive. It does come with a side of tots, but I can do with out that. Staff is very friendly! As soon as you look their direction and look like you are walking towards them, they greet you. Which is pretty nice! I went with the Connecticut, because I love butter lol! I also added more meat! It was pretty good, no complaints on the size. The lobster was... ok? It was like they cleaned it earlier that morning, stuck the meat in the fridge, tossed it on the grill to warm it up, but the inside was cold and the outside was warm and dry. It could be that I just had a bad experience! My biggest issue is the lobster shells that I had in my lobster... so disappointing! I took pictures, but Yelp keeps removing them... I guess the owner pays them to keep taking down negative pictures? All in all, if you want lobster, go to Quincys 500 feet north of there next to ripleys... It is ok here, just watch out for the shells!
