Typical beach side bar with regulars and some tourists. Shows it's she with some wear and tear, but the Monday Special steamed shrimp were very good. I'll go back for more!
Shrimp was amazing! Atmosphere was very nostalgic :) Ivory was a perfect server! Management went above and beyond when we accidentally left our wallet. Truly grateful!!
This is basically a cozy bar that serves good food. Not being a drinker, I can't rate the bar, but a lot of people like it. On Sundays they serve draft beer for $1.00 a glass! They also offer nice restaurant specials several days a week. A personal favorite is the $8.00 a pound steamed or fried jumbo shrimp on Mondays! On this visit I ordered the soft shell crab sandwich with a side because soft shells are in season and that's what I eat when in season! I thought it was a little pricey at $14 or so, but it was dinner time so maybe not. The soft shell was perfectly fried in a light batter and delicious. The sub roll it was served on was hard to handle as a sandwich so I ate it with a fork. I would prefer the crab on a hamburger buns. My companion had the fried oysters ($13.99) and loved every bite (except for the one he gave me)!
Food was AMAZING and our waitress was attentive and wonderful. Unfortunately there were a couple of large parties that came in at the same time...so the wait was long. However our terrific waitress gave us an incredible discount and apologized. Highly recommend this resturant if you are looking for really good food at a good price. It has a "dark dive bar atmosphere", but u can eat outside as well. Fresh tuna steak sandwich was perfect.
