Customer Reviews
Nice surprise. Locals recommend this restaurant and it was good. Took 11 people and they accommodated nicely. Greatest were nice, server excellent and food was really good. Grouper special over grits was amazing. Crab cakes were good. Very enjoyable meal. Open on Sunday night.
Seafood Dump! This place is definitely a bang for your buck It’s not too expensive and it has great flavor! Absolutely loved the crab legs and the hush puppies! This restaurant also features its own hot sauce and it is so good! We got 2 bottles to take home as well! Our waitress, Leah was so sweet and on her “A Game”! Thank you again Leah!
Our server was Mike, and he was so sweet! All the food was incredible. We had the blue crab dip, volcano sushi roll, chargrilled oysters, crab and shrimp boil, and fresh catch of the day. A great dinner on our vacation!
Enjoy the birthday dinner out with family. Food was good. We waited outside early to get in by 5 PM. Suggest you go early. This is a very busy place. Lots of servers got her food right away. I will say their food is pricey. We had gone to get king crab legs, and it was ridiculous the price. So we chose a lobster tail and shrimp dinner and it was very very good. We didn’t try dessert. Just bring your wallet and to spend a lot. Ps. If you want to hold an alligator, they charge seven dollars for the picture.
Listen, I get it everyone else says this place is great but I just can't say anything beyond it's consistently average. I've been going to this place once a year for five years and it's average. This year we have 13 folks and collectively spent over $750, which highlighted all the issues. 1. Parking is impossible unless you arrive 45min before opening. 2. Service is marginal at best. They don't forget you but don't linger near your table. Servers are friendly. 3. Food is simply expensive. Not saying their food is overpriced just it's expensive. A piece of fish, broccoli, and baked potato was $37! 4. Drinks are nothing to seek out. 5. Food quality: fries are marginal to bad. Hush puppies are extremely dense and dry. Clam strips are more breading then clam. Gator was very bland...even their blackened. Crab legs were slightly overcooked, but good flavor. Deviled crab was great. Blue crab dip appetizer is the best food on the menu. 6. Atmosphere: I get it florida and packed restaurant but the hvac needs to be examined when all 13 say it's too hot inside. 7. I'll return because no other close options...but I know what to expect now.
