This was our first time here and we were not sure what to expect. It was a bit confusing when you walk in and asked some people eating at the bar and they were super cool and told us where to wait. The food was good, and initially the staff was super attentive, but it was really busy and we were at the end of the bar so there were a few times we had to flag down a server. But the food was good and you could Really tell that the regulars really enjoy the slightly loud chaotic atmosphere. I will say that the section of the bar we were at had duct tape holding it down which was kind of lame. Overall it was fun and we would come back for a drink and an appetizer or two.
Simply awesome! They totally met every expectation we had! Wonderful service incredible awesome food. And the price is good for what we got. This is definitely going to be a stop the next time we come to this area. Definitely worth your time to go here if you like seafood this is the place. Really like the music here too
1st time customer last night and the food was delicious. Will return. I shared "the barge" with my wife and friend, and it fed all 3 of us comfortably. The snow crab, mussels, oysters, clams, shrimp, and scallops were steamed perfectly. Nothing is overcooked, which seems to be a rare find nowadays with seafood. The staff was very friendly and attentive. Don't go with large parties because most of the seating is bar seating.
Been in recently as usual. Yummy 😛Peyton is the bomb of a waitress however Daylen, Lane & Makayla are up there too. Every dinner we have is above satisfaction and drinks are always relaxed and perfectly made. Atmosphere is the best for an enjoyable evening out.
Me and my Grandson came in for some grilled shrimp. The food was great! The service should get more than 5 stars. The staff are all very friendly and welcoming. Thanks so much to Cassidy who took care of us.
I Rate This Restaurant A Five Star!!!! Atmosphere Is Pleasing, Service & Food Is Very Tasty, Jen/Jennifer Was Our Server, She Is Excellent, Very Attentive, Enjoyed Her Personality. Waitstaff & Service, I Rate A Five Star,
The food was amazing I ordered the shrimp tacos and added the firecracker sauce not realizing it had a mayo base. The manager came out and remade the food. Whitney was awesome they made you feel so welcome. The atmosphere was so pleasant.
I thought all the waitstaff was attentive and friendly. The food came out hot and fresh. We don't live close by but I would come again if we are in the area! Its a small place so not great for big groups but id say up to 4 would be easily doable.
a high energy place with devoted eaters. NC comfort food. Most people sitting at counter with big animated plates of seafood delights. Relaxed and satisfying food. The oysters Rockefeller and sea food pasta were scrumptious. Hostess seems a bit frayed but this is a hungry crowd that wants a deep dive into their pulchritudinous pescados. Servers efficient. Fun place for all who want to mix delicious seafood with lively atmosphere. Music mostly classic rock in background.
Brian has the biggest and best hamburger hotdogs in the world, his meats so good. If you’re lookin for a real good hamburger hotdog go check these guys out, it’s big, thick, juicy and drenched in gravy…highly recommend. The hamburger steak is good too!
