Jenny Minsberg

Got the flounder and onion rings , and this was the best fish I ever had in my life! Great atmosphere and friendly service . Highly recommend!

Happiness Rugumamu

Get the mahi mahi tacos , it's grilled and seasoned well . Sit outside if you can, awesome view .

Wes Bechtel

The best option for eating on the waterway . Make sure you get onion rings and of course, sit outside!

Tracy Rabon

Huge burgers that are surprisingly good. If you want fried seafood it's fresh and not overly breaded . The fish sandwiches win the prize though.

Tom Manley

Ordered the shrimp sandwich blackened. It was nicely spiced & great tasting. Super friendly staff even though they were swamped with customers!

Tom Manley

Seriously good seafood at a reasonable price with quick friendly service
