    Food was good. Service was slow. Took about 35 mins to get our food (good thing we ordered the kids food right away!). Had reservations, checked in early and still seated way after our reservation time!

    Had a great time. It was my wife's Birthday. We sat by the window looking out to the water. Beautiful scenery. Food was good. We enjoyed it with some Hot Sauce we bought from the store next door. It went good with the Mac N Cheese and the coconut shrimp. The server was great I believe her name was Chelsea. She was always smiling and Was very nice. Thank you Chelsea.

    Food was definitely lacking ALL flavor. The sauces only made it worse. For the price, it was ridiculous. However the theme of the place is on point! Everything else is awful. Service, food, how dirty the place is. We won’t be back.

    If you are looking for a good quality meal, this is not the place. We had 4 different meals and none of us thought theirs was excellent. Fried chicken was dry even after the waitress spilled half a drink on top of it and did not offer a new one or even say sorry.

    My family enjoyed the entire experience and we all loved the food. I wish I remember our servers names but they were quick and wonderful. Definitely want to return.

    I got the sea food boil bucket and instead of Cajun I went with garlic butter . I got whole potatoes (some weren’t cut) and it was over salted. The waiter was pretty busy and I was standing up waiting to pay my tab for like 20 mins while she was greeting and or talking to another table she looked at me standing with the check and continued talking. finally I just walked up to the front with the black tab book and sure enough not even a minute after she cut her convo short and ran up to the front looking for me as if I left without paying. Found it very rude. And to top it all off when I got to the restaurant the host told me since I had a reservation at 3:15 and it was 2:55 I had to get out of line and wait until my reservation time. When the time came I had to get back in line all over as I did the first time and still wait my turn BUT there was a lady in front of me in line that made it the host station and had the VERY SAME issue I had with the reservation situation and instead of them turning her away telling her she had to wait until her time like they did me they went ahead and SEATED her. I was furious and figured maybe it was because she was Caucasian and the two host that were helping her were as well and obviously I am not. Anywho me and my mother got seated and were seated by the nosiest family EVER ! they had their kids crying and running everywhere not to mention they were up and down by our table pushing there way behind our seats. Very very BAD experience, will not be returning.
