This place is not the fanciest but we're here for food right? So let's get to it…read more Huge shout out to the cooks here. My wife and I order th garlic chicken, and I ordered the jerk chicken. The portions were huge so you get a really full meal for a pretty good price. The jerk chicken was perfect. Spicy, with a hint of sweet on a bed of rice and beans. My only disappointment was with the sides. I ordered fries and plantains and I dunno if it was because we ate late in the day, but the sides were bitter and tasted like burnt oil. Still, I came for the jerk chicken and it delivered in spades. I'll definitely come back here again earlier in the day and order some different sides with my meal.

This place doesn't look like much from the road, but it's a great place for a leisurely Sunday evening meal on the water. I liked my chicken Jambalaya. My wife liked her broiled shrimp dinner. My son like his French Dip. My daughter-in-law liked her shrimp pasta. Nothing was "the best I ever had," but all was good. My granddaughter liked the parrot sidling by and eyeing everyone's food. It wasn't fast, but it was fine, and this isn't the view you want to eat and get on your way. Enjoy it. Live music, too, this particular Sunday evening.

It wasn't too fishy and the garlic bread that went with it was great. The potato skins were tasty, and so were the hush puppies. I ordered the french onion soup and it was very good. We loved the large area outside for our little one to run around. Excited to come back and eat here again.

Gotta give it a 3... this was a middle of the road visit and as a result... I feel like I'm being…read moregenerous with addled of the road review. Let's take it from the beginning... the gal at the counter seemed unfamiliar with the flavor options and was confused with citing of a specific flavor from the board. We sorted that out as she seemed eager and pleasant... no problem... learning is happening.. The whole thing... flow... service... product and presence seemed in need of polishing as a whole... nothing glaringly wrong but not polished.. mayhap this location is newish.. im not from this town. Onto my order and my objective findings... I ordered the 15 piece wings which were described as crispy on the boards.. hmmm not so much I'm sorry to say The good in this was the flavor of the dry rub I requested... banging flavor and wonderful. The not so much... the finish on my wings... the skin was largely under cooked for liking and certainly not described as crispy... perhaps the tim8ng and oil temp combo is off given they were moderately busy (certainly not swamped). In my humble estatiin, my wings would have approached perfect with another 4ish mins in the fryer to really crisp up the skin and give them some crunchification (yup made that up). The Blue Chez and Ranch dressings were good and plentiful... I'm not turned off at Wingstop... this was my first ever visit to the brand and I will try another location in the future... honestly will think twice before I c9me here again before I visit another location so I can decide if this was one off or systemic. All said, nothing was a show stopper... nothing was terribly negative here... I think some polishing and attention to detail coupled with some additional training and this location would smash it!

Not great customer service from someone wearing a studded collar at work (don't know if thats a…read moreuniform thing). Second $17 for 10 wings is crazy. 3rd Back of house isn't using any gloves on raw chicken so I will be throwing my $17 away and going to Zaxbys for $12 wings and things. Also, only having a roll of paper towels for your customers to use take out or or dine in is disgusting.

I have been travelling to Jacksonville NC for a while and see Smithfield's (what seems like)…read moreeverywhere. I go past and think....BBQ sounds good. When I went it was after work and I was on the hungry side. I park the rental and go inside. First thing I notice was how clean the place was. Spotless. A dude was cleaning the tables, another person was cleaning the windows. Spotless. The menu is straight forward. You can smell the chicken and pork cooking. I decide on the Bar B-Q sandwich. I get a side of baked beans. She takes the order and I grab a seat. It's not long and my order is ready. I took it for takeout and went back to the hotel. The sandwich didn't taste right. I am good with the coleslaw on the sandwich but the meat had an off taste to it. The baked beans could have been better...they had a funk to them that couldn't be ignored. So, the advice from my coworkers was right. My next visit to Jacksonville will include a different BBQ restaurant.

Another truly outstanding experience at Duck's Bar and Grill…read more From one business owner to another, I have a deep appreciation for what you're doing here. Everything--from the atmosphere to the execution--is top tier. But what really sets you apart is your attention to detail and genuine care for your customers. Our waitress tonight, Kaila, was absolutely phenomenal. She picked up on something most people would overlook--I don't use straws--and brought my drink without one, without me even having to ask. That may seem small to some, but to me, that level of awareness and intentional service speaks volumes. It's those little things that create unforgettable experiences and separate good businesses from truly great ones. Kaila absolutely crushed it tonight, and it's clear your team is operating at a very high level. Keep doing what you're doing--you've built something special.
