Well the Grouper fingers were chilled and limp and the chowder had a film on it from sitting too long before being served. But it won't stop me from going back.read more

Chicken Fajita Quesadilla was really good. Service was great as well. Someone in our party had to send the steak back to be cooked a little longer but past that none of us had any issues. It is a typical sportsbar/restaurant atmosphere but they do have a nice outdoor area, outdoor bar and a few video games/pinball. It's kid friendly. Tables were a bit close together and I feel sorry for the table of 2 that was inches away from my boisterous family but it wasn't at all uncomfortable or cramped feeling. I have cPTSD, an eating disorder, this was my first time since 2020 eating at a restaurant and I thoroughly enjoyed my experience.read more

Great food and atmosphere. Lovetbe outdoir searing area. (This is new to me bc we have not bern here since before 2016) Waited a little longer for our food then we would have liked for the amount of people at the restaurant, but the kids were occupied with the video games and coloring pages offered.read more

Great burgers. The black & bleu and the one with bbq sauce and onion straws are both very good. They have good buns which I think shows they care about the other ingredients. A little pricey but definitely good. Also lots of side options.Also very good are the grouper fingers.read more
