“ We met a sweet Canadian couple on the beach that recommended this restaurant because they’ve been coming here for many many years. We arrived very close to closing time. Our server told us that they already closed the kitchen. But because they have amazing customer service, they restarted everything for just us in the kitchen so we could have a chance to experience their amazing food! Almost everything else in town was already closed or closing so we feel extremely grateful that they were willing to still serve us even after they closed their kitchen. Thank so much! ”
“ My wife and I went there while on vacation. We passed this place multi times over the years. This year we had to try it out. They had seats inside so I was happy it was hot out. Had steamers for an app we had the twin lobsters,fried haddock and fries. Delicious ”
“ Loved the food 25 for twin lobsters can't beat it - excellent dragon fruit margarita ! Always get the Pretzel Bites with the beer cheese OMG so good ! Great service and atmosphere - 3rd time there and definitely will be back !! ”
“ Our favorite summer spot! Love the lobster deal! Only thing is now you don't get the coleslaw & fries, they come separately. The fries are a big portion so you could probably split one between a few people. The lobster was SO fresh! It easy so to crack open! The steamers were also delicious! There was a DJ and he was playing awesome music! ”
“ My family and I went when this place was busy and short staffed like everywhere is right now, and let me say our waitress Wendy was AMAZING! SHE WAS KIND fun and on top of our needs and requests. Our food was great and we had just an amazing time. Thank you so much! ”
“ After reading the reviews, we were a little concerned about going here but we are so glad we gave them a chance! We were seated right away & received our drinks and food in a timely manner - even quicker than we expected without reading prior reviews. It was even a Monday with music bingo going on but it didn't slow anything down. They were pretty busy too - only two tables were available when we got there. We will definitely return! ”
“ First time going here. Very impressed with the food. Large portions. I had a Margarita and it was the best I've had in a while. Will definitely be going back. Would recommend it to anyone who loves seafood. I had fried haddock. Very good. ”
“ Stopped in for lunch and ordered the blacked haddock sandwich with fries. The haddock was blackened perfectly and I asked for crispy fries and those came out perfectly crunchy with not too much salt. Waitress recommended the children's haddock bites because it came with a side. The children's was more like an adult size. You could tell the oil was fresh that they fried them in and salad was fresh and tasty. Our waitress was awesome and so was the atmosphere. Will definitely be back. ”
