Brought my daughter and her friend here Friday night (3-21-25), we didn’t have to wait for a table that was a plus. It was around 8pm so sure dinner crowd was down. The food was ok, use to be better. The rice was hard and sticky under, maybe sitting under hot lamp to long. My daughters friend ordered the stuff shrimp which the shrimp were chewy maybe not cooked long enough. The server Nichole was amazing and attentive. She was on point replaced her meal and the manager was awesome too! (I didn’t get his name) he took the food off the bill which I was expecting that but it was nice. All in all the service was perfect and all the employees seem nice and had a smile on their face. I would go back. The lil crab sandwiches were good.

Our waitress Colleen was EVERYTHING. She was working her tail off - looked like she had half the tables in the damn restaurant - and she was super attentive and appreciative of our patience but the service was great, there was nothing she had to be worrying about. She made our night. I had asked her for a pitcher of water from the jump because I didn’t want her to be running back and forth for me because i notoriously suck down restaurant water like no other, this woman came back with 3 extra waters just for me. She then got us a complimentary dessert. She was amazing.

We recently visited Doc Bales for Dinner. Friday and Saturday nite dinner, they do offer a Southern Buffet. It was my Husband’s birthday and our Anniversary, so decided to eat at the Restaurant. The buffet is not really big, but the choices are really all you need. The food was very good and hot. There was a carving station and a southern Cajun Boil. The desert was very good. They actually had my Husband’s favorite cake. I would highly recommend The Hotel and Restaurant.

Excellent food and service. Ask for Signet. He was super attentive and friendly and accommodating to our needs. The omelette station is my favorite. Fresh and made to order just how you like it! There are so many choices in the buffet to choose from ... bacon sausage pancakes fruit grits oatmeal yogurt parfait bagels toast salmon eggs tomatoes and the list goes on. Coffee is steaming and fresh and there’s lovely beach views. Will definitely continue to return for these delicious meals. Update: Another great experience . My server Signet was amazing!!! So attentive and kind. Ask for her! They also have a pancake maker now
