Had a reservation that they did not honor. Why take reservations if you give tables to whoever walks in…. Disappointed enough on how the situation was handled that I will not be back

If I could give this place zero stars I would! Being as though it was Father’s Day I made a reservation for 3pm…only to drive an hour to the restaurant and arrive on time to be told the wait time for reservations were two and a half hours also food would take atleast and hour to receive! Half the dining room was empty so I asked why couldn’t we be seated at one of the open tables and I was told they were being held for RESERVATIONS (obviously just not mine)Very unorganized! I asked to speak to a manager and no one ever showed up!

Made a reservation for 3:30 and was told that we would have to wait 2hrs for our table. We booked the table through open table so they had our contact information to let us know about the delay, but they chose not to tell us until we got there

Loved Holy Mackeral! Everything was delish! We had a reservation for 7:30pm but were sat closer to 8:30pm. While waiting we enjoyed beer by the water so no big deal but next time we know to go earlier!

Food and service was great. Our waiter Chad was awesome. Did not like that we waited more than 30 minutes to get a table and we made reservations. Maybe Do the all you cheat crab legs more than once a week or do reservations only.

You must try the giant pretzel with beer cheese. The best I’ve ever had! We went for the all you can eat shrimp and crab legs. The crab seemed to be a little over cooked. It was kind of hard to get to the meat in the crab legs. The shrimp was not deveined. Overall, I would go back. We went kind of early. The place wasn’t busy. The service was great. Our waitress made sure we had plenty of everything. Oh, and they keep the meat coming. and they don’t hurry you out of the restaurant if you’re there for the all you can eat. I saw a few comments on social media about that so I thought I’d mention it. Great restaurant. Great service. Would recommend.

Beautiful Spring evening to dine outdoors, celebrating my husband’s birthday! The view of the sunset was amazing! We were excited to order microbrews, but were quite disappointed when we discovered that very little was actually on draft or even in stock! Food was tasty, served hot, but was almost cold by the time we received our silverware. We had requested silverware and napkins twice before my husband went to retrieve it himself. Our first visit here in March was quite the opposite, delicious with great service. Hoping this evening was the exception rather than the norm.

We had reservations. They set us immediately. We ordered a appetizer and it took 30 minutes to get the appetizer. We ordered a main entrées and it took one hour in 10 minutes. Very slow. The waitress was really nice. Kept apologizing. Ambience was good price was really reasonable drinks were fantastic. It was a shame. It took so long to get the food that we ordered.

Mother’s Day…..although we enjoy the restaurant and service, unfortunately there was a 2 hour delay in the kitchen and we had our elderly diabetic mother with us. We appreciate our waitress being honest, however, we left and ate elsewhere. Staffing is essential!

A very nice location, on the water so we had a great sunset view. Food was very good and service outstanding. We had crawlers, my wife could not finished them so I helped, and a great chicken sandwich with spicy honey sauce. We hope to go again.

Wednesday all you can eat crab and shrimp is good. The menu is fine but the food and presentation needs attention. I wouldn't worry about presentation if the food was better. They have a lot of potential. Breakfast is a hard pass. Terrible.

Went here for their AYCE shrimp & crab legs. The price is not cheap ($49) so we expected a good meal! We made a reservation and we were sat upon arrival so that was great! But then we sat and sat and sat till our waitress finally acknowledged us. We ordered drinks and our meals easy enough 2 AYCE meals. We got waters right away but the beers took 15 minutes to get. Then the meals arrived. The food was good the shrimp huge! So we were excited. Well we were not given silverware and when we finally saw our server and asked she eventually brought. We asked for crackers for the crab legs and she explained they only have 10 for the whole restaurant but she would try. We were about done trying to open the crab legs when she brought us one to share. We ordered our second plate while she was there. So a half hour later we finally got our seconds on AYCE! So we were eating and I said we should have ordered more right away but we didn’t and it was another 15-20 minutes till we saw our server again and asked her to order more. Another half hour went by and I was ready to leave when she brought out 1 plate of food for both of us. Well we took it and our check. Which was $150! Sorry but I expect better for this much money! We were seated on the covered porch and it was so hot from being enclosed that we asked to sit elsewhere and was told they were full. The waitress explained that the air conditioning was broken. I was sweating while eating my dinner. It is such a shame as this could be such a great place! Lots of good ideas but sounds like a management problem. You need to stop and take a look at your operations! This could be so much better! Let me say that we were not the only ones. The table beside us waited and waited as well! We will not return! Our money is hard earned and we don’t want to waist it again!

20 minutes for the server to come to the table. Provided sample of draft beers and they were not cold and neither were the can beers. Salads and entree came out together. That’s a no no! Doors open and had to swat flies away from our food. Ate the entree in the car in hopes of enjoying without worrying about flies and the crab cake tasted sour. Horrible experience when I flew into town to take my mother to dinner for her birthday. Service seemed to be slow in the restaurant because we weren’t the only ones that left. Definitely would not recommend this restaurant!

We have family night every other Wednesday here for the AYCE crab legs and shrimp. We love this place! The quality of food has always been excellent for us, and the wait staff is always on their toes to get whatever you need. Mya is our regular server and she has the best personality!! Definitely recommend it.
