Customer Reviews

"We have been here twice. The service is great. The meals are absolutely perfect with large portions. The first time I went the chicken quesadilla was amazing. This time I had the kids enchilada and it was just what I was craving. My son absolutely loves their shrimp basket!"

- Danielle L.

"It's a popular location the prices were average. We got the cowboy corn bites which are homemade there and they have jalapeno in them and they were very good. My husband got a steak with french fries and mac and cheese and he said that it was cooked perfectly. I got the shrimp and fried oysters with french fries and it was fine. Price was average for the area."

"Came here on a Friday night. It was semi- busy and we didn't wait for a table. The hostess sat us in a corner section in the very back. I'm not sure what the servers name was but she only checked on us twice throughout the night. She was sweet just inattentive. Our food took about a hour to get out. We ordered the chicken alfredo, the big burger, and the chicken fried chicken. Overall the chicken fried chicken was the best thing ordered. If you want a crowded place with a long wait time for the food this is a great place."

- Reyna M.

"Everything was so good! I got the fish po boy 10/10, Dad got the Half rack of ribs which were huge 10/10, mom got the Baja fish tacos and brother got a burger with cheese and bacon- Both 10/10! The burger meat was actually surprisingly good- totally recommend. We also got onion rings and fried calamari as appetizers and were both delicious."

"Took the family here for dinner one night because it was walking distance to the condo where we were staying. Service was OK, food was great. Walking by the wood stack and the outdoor smoker area, I figured their Hickory smoked ribs would be good so I ordered a full rack. My kids got the mini corndogs. Both are pictured. Ribs were finger lickin' good. Ate most of them and had the rest another day for breakfast. Kids food was good as well. The service was OK, not horrible, not great. At the time we went it was not busy, there were plenty of tables available. Being that we were a family of 6 they said automatic 18% gratuity would apply. When the bill came, somehow it wasn't there. Paid cash and received a little discount on the meal."

"We came at lunch time on a Wednesday. We were greated and sat right away. Service was great, our waitress was very attentive and helpful. My husband is a brown gravy kind of guy and not a lot of restaurants seem to serve it. They do! The waitress said they don't always have it, but they made it for my husband. He was so happy, mainly because of how good it was. He had the Tomahawk Pork Chop. It was excellent. My daughter and I both had the Beach Club Sandwich with added avocado, also switched out the Swiss cheese for cheddar. It was so good, thick cut turkey, not shaved deli meat. The fries were also crispy and flavorful. We will definitely come back next time we visit."

"Everything was great from the moment we walked in. I ordered the shrimp quesadillas and they were very cheesey, just the way I like them. Best shrimp quesadillas in town."
