I purchased 2 Maine lobsters and cooked them when I got home. They were alive, but barely. These…read morewere the worst lobsters I have ever tried to eat. The meat was dry, very tough and I literally could not chew the tails, and thru them in the trash. I have lived in Maine all my life, now retired and living in North Carolina. I know what fresh Maine lobster is supposed to taste like. These were NOT FRESH lobsters. I had the pleasure of speaking with the owner today about my frustration with these lobsters. She was adamant that she could not do anything to help me, and keep me as a happy customer. No suggestion was given to me for a credit or even a replacement of another product. NOTHING, just arguing with me about "she has no control over the freshness of the lobsters". So very disappointed in the way this business owner takes care of her customers. If you want FRESH MAINE LOBSTERS, do NOT buy from this store. You will be wasting your money! D Hughes

For instance, snapper, grouper, mahi-mahi , tile and trigger fish. Often times they will have a wide selection of frozen fish in stock. They have well stocked supply of flash frozen gulf shrimp from Florida or Alabama. Their prices will be a bit higher than what you might pay at your local Harris-Teeter or Publix but the quality far exceeds. Their big differentiator is their customer service. They are a small independently owned business so their customer service is exceptional. Today I stopped in and ordered some fresh Snapper and got 2 pounds of frozen gulf shrimp and their seasoning. I got great customer service from Thos & John who were very professional and helpful. They also have the Low Country Boil packages. See my photo that goes into detail on the three levels and pricing. Go check this place out and support your local independently owned business!

I had a feast every day of my birthday week. I was inspired by the cooking demonstrations on the Salt Water Market livestreams. Nothing can compare to fresh shrimp. The flavor of fresh shrimp is so much more superior to the jumbo frozen shrimp that I have in my freezer. My New York Strip was better than Ruth's Chris or Morton's. I need a little practice with the tenderness of my lamb chops but the flavor was there. I experimented with scampi butter, Cajun and other seasonings.

It was a bit chilly so we sat inside even though the outside patio was heated. It was a good choice because it was a little breezy. We shared the okra as an appetizer, it was as good as I remembered! They had a special which we both decided was good, surf & turf with NY strip and lobster tail. I also brought a bottle of Freixnet Cordon Negra which was so good! We were a bit disappointed that the steak we ordered as medium rare, came out rare on both our entrees. Overall it was a memorable evening and just what I had hoped for a special occasion!

Waitress just didn't follow up. My water sat unrefilled for a long time. Fried okra didn't taste like okra - but that suited a few of the party. But a few of us expected okra flavor only to be disappointed. Temp on the fried green tomatoes should have been warmer but overall it was very tasty. Our appetizer empty plates sat for a while - we even stacked them so it was clear they should be cleared. Ordered the salmon, which was good, but so did my mom. We ordered different temps and they couldn't tell which was which. Wife ordered a salad and for the price, there was barely anything there. Mac and cheese is still the star. Oysters were decent - I expected larger. The half chicken was a generous portion - nice crispy outside but a bit dry inside. I wouldn't order it (I almost did, but my one of our party did). One of our party ordered a stuffed leeks and it was so salty it was inedible. They did fix it and admitted it should have never left the kitchen. By the time the replacement came out it was after 6:05 (and they had to leave at 6:15). So they didn't get to eat their celebratory meal with the rest of us. Not the memory you want for a meal. Desserts were good. Tort was dense - honestly not sure if that's normal. Crème brûlée was very good. For a $400+ experience and our history with Pump House, I expected more.
