-The Best Sea Food restaurant in town-possibly in the Gulf-Amazing service-food was here before we even realized it-Must try the crab legs or the grouper pan seared-Absolutely amazing!!! 

Jared Wilbanks

Great lunch specials , which include a drink. I get the blackened catfish and add an extra filet for a minimal additional charge. If you're watching carbs, avoid the brown bread b/c it is ADDICTING.

Adam Hill

Hawaiian Ribeye was fantastic change of pace as this was my 39th seafood place in a row on vacation. All of my family really enjoyed their food! It came out blazing fast and our server was very nice!

I loved the broiled seafood platter . It had shrimp , scallops , and my new favorite flounder almandine. For sides , it was paired with sweet potato casserole and cole slaw for a real taste treat.

The fried seafood platter was the best seafood that I have found in Gulf Shores . It was fresh , lightly breaded , and served hot . We had attentive service and a fair price . 5 stars !

Earl Belcher Jr

You can have the fresh catch , 5 diff fishes including my fave - mahi mahi , prepared 9 diff ways. I recommend Creole - spicy w/crawfish étouffée sauce. Excellent crab n shrimp bisque plus raw oysters .

Crab platter - out of this world! Huge portion ! Caribbean platter also delicious! Also Hawaiian rib-eye is to die for! Sauce is absolutely delicious! Great food, big portions , very friendly waitresses !

Lunch special is always a good choice - I love the broiler flounder , green beans and fried green tomatoes . All yummy!

Amanda Harris

Pulled in to the parking lot and was a little discouraged. Glad we stayed and ate by far the best food I've had in Pensacola. Have to try the crab , artichoke and spinach dip !!

Derek Lovett

The best sautéed crab claws ever!!! And the KeyLime Pie ain't too bad either - very delicious and a unique texture!

Donna Naftzger

The fish and portion sizes were great. There is a strange odor when you walk in. We got the brownies to go and that odor was in the brownies . It’s a musty smell.

Beth Higgins

My favorite, favorite place!!!! If you go for lunch , get the salad .....it's to die for. Anything on the dinner menu is out of this world. Yummmm

Wonderful fresh bread with honey butter . My favorite meal is their Chicken Creole. Is enough for two meals for me. I pig out on bread first though.
