That said, it was fairly crowded for a Sunday night, especially considering it's the off-season in Oak Island (though it was marathon weekend). Overall, we had a really good experience. Service was a bit slow, and they were out of several menu items -- including wings (they run a Sunday wing special), crab cakes, and fish. Even with those misses, everyone in our group enjoyed their food. I had the fried shrimp basket and it was excellent. The shrimp were cooked perfectly and the fries were great as well. No complaints there. If I had to nitpick, the lighting inside was a little harsh -- the blue walls combined with bright daylight bulbs made the space feel colder than it needs to be. A softer lighting setup would go a long way. A few TVs weren't working, and as mentioned, service was slower than ideal, but nothing that ruined the night. Bottom line: good food, a lively atmosphere, and a place we'd definitely come back to -- especially now that we know what to expect.

Arrived on a Friday night and was seated promptly away from the noisier larger dining area. We enjoyed our seats around corner of front door. Lily was right with us asking for a drink order which we only had water. My wife ordered the fish special that came with baked fish, hush puppies and coleslaw. I ordered Mermaids Delight which was Sautéed scallops, shrimp, mushrooms and scallions in a garlic, parmesan cream sauce finished with lump Blue Crab over linguini pasta. Everything tasted good and service was ok. I had a little problem with value of meal and the atmosphere is nothing to right home about.

The only downside was the wait time. Even though the restaurant was not busy, we waited about 10-15 minutes while the host trained a new staff member before being taken to the outdoor seating area. We were offered the option to sit at the inside bar, but not at an indoor dining table, which was fine since we were waiting for friends and preferred to sit outside anyway. Once we ordered, the food also seemed to take longer than expected to arrive. Overall, though, it was still a nice experience in a great beachfront location.

She was funny, a little sassy, and had a great personality that made us feel right at home. Be prepared for a crowd! We visited on a Sunday evening and the restaurant was very busy and quite loud. We had about a 20-minute wait at 5:00 PM, so I can only imagine how packed it gets around 6:00 or 7:00 PM. For dinner, I ordered the flounder platter with Gouda potatoes and sweet plantains. Everything was excellent--5/5. The Gouda potatoes were especially delicious, and the flounder was perfectly crispy without being greasy. My son ordered the crab boil special and cleaned his plate, which says it all. My boyfriend had the fried oyster po' boy, and it was very good as well. Even my little guy ordered the adult portion of fried shrimp and finished every last shrimp and fry. Overall, the prices were reasonable, the service was outstanding, and the food was delicious. We'd definitely come back again!

They were pretty busy during Friday lunch before a big holiday weekend. We got our meal to go because I did not realize that they were not dog friendly. Completely my fault because I did not check ahead. I knew that surrounding places with outdoor dining were so I assumed incorrectly. Not a big deal since there are lots of benches in the area to sit by the waterfront. I ordered the Grouper Salad sandwich, my husband got Thee special that came with 1/2 lb. peel and eat shrimp, crab cake, corn on cob with sides of cocktail and tarter sauce, and my daughter got the regular lunch special with came with shrimp, crab cake, and sauces. Unfortunately, my daughter's lunch only had the 1/4 lb. of shrimp when she opened her box so she had to hoof it back and wait In line again to get her crab cake and sauces. Thankfully, I texted her a copy of the receipt because they gave her a bit of a run around regarding her missing items. I should have gone in there with her. Several staff members asked to see the receipt and then asked if she was sure of what she ordered. If I had known they were going to give her a time, I would have taken care of it myself. Don't get me wrong, I get it. I worked in food service for many years but when a customer shows you a receipt, then tells you there was mistake, and is polite about it, the customer usually doesnt have to explain the issue to multiple people. It is off putting to put the customer to task for your mistake. They gave her a free small drink, which she appreciated. Other than the order mishap, our food was pretty standard. The tarter sauce was nice and thick but was warm. The crab cake was better than some I have had but a bit dry. I cannot say the meal was worth what we spent. My Grouper sandwich was the highlight but for $10.95 and no side it won't be enough for us to return. I am glad we got to try them out while we were there. We have lots of friends that love it. I think our experience would have been better if we had eaten there instead.
