    Some of the best seafood we have had in a long time. Well worth the hour's drive. Will definitely be back and will bring our friends.

    Went for Valentine's Day after finding them on Opentable. Had good reviews so decided to try. Was strange driving out to what seemed like the middle of nowhere but glad we did. The food and service were good.

    The food was very good. It exceeded my expectation of the place, because of its location. I would definitely revisit in the future.

    Monday night crab special was a bargain. Wish the crab legs had been much hotter when they were served.

    Stood in the entry for 15 minutes even though we had a reservation. Finally got a table and it took 10 minutes to get a glass of water and silver wear. When she finally came to take our order, she spouted off all of the items that were NOT available on the menu!! It was 6:30 and a little early to run out of something as basic as French fries. When we got our food it was decent but not worth the wait or the bad attitudes. They just lost our business and we are loyal locals that love to have a good spot that we can count on for good food.

    Under new management, so the outdoor setting (a shady covered porch overlooking the river) continues to be nice, and so are the staff, but the kitchen needs help. All seafood offered is fried, with no option for broiling, and what we had (catfish and shrimp) was over-breaded. The menu is simple and inexpensive, so perhaps they need to charge a bit more to upgrade the food prep.
