We sat outside & our service was great and right at lunch hour. New potatoes , and shrimp slaw was good. Wife said potato salad was outstanding. Shrimp good but not wonderful.

Stewy Ward

Reasonable prices and portions. We opted out of all you can eat ; got po'boys/tacos instead. Food and drink were pretty good. It was family friendly , even lateish (9pm Sunday). Would go again on vacay.

Best restaurant at the beach . So much good seafood . Fried pickles and corn nuggets are a must for appetizers .
