Well to be honest this was our first time at the place and the food well I was expecting to be better than what it was and the atmosphere was ok but very dark. The waitress however was excellent and very nice and pleasant. Now for 2 of us the bill was close to $100.00 with tip so also a little costly however We will give the place another try at some point. We had the scallops and shrimp and it was a bit to greesy and they put them in butter and it would have been better with melted butter on the side then laying in it but to their defense I should have asked how it was done because I had my Gallbladder removed and oily greesy things no longer agree with me. The MAIN issue was the darkness and it made the place feel dreary anyway we will give it another try at some point because I think I seen other things that went by me that looked wonderful and I would like to try however I wish I would have had a lantern or a flashlight and I think next time I wish wear my cap with the head light on it. Now I rate the place overall at a 7 with a+ from 1 to 10 and 10 being the best. Now I took a point off for lighting. I took a point off for food and I took a point off for hard parking for handicapped however I would give the parking point to the service and cleanliness of the place. Now this is only my appion so please go give the place a try for your own.Parking: Well being disabled parking by the door was a bit difficult.Kid-friendliness: Yes the children we seen there seemed to be HappyWheelchair accessibility: Well the parking is a bit hard for the Disabled but he'll now a day's most everyone is now or claim's to be Disabled but a LOT just Lazy ! Because when you set a firecracker off behind them or blow the horn going somewhat fast at them they seem to be able to run fairly well and you think ?? they are truly disabled ???

Really excellent steamed shrimp, fresh fish grilled or cooked other ways black and fried, excellent oysters, crab cakes. Note they do not take reservations.

We arrived around 5 on a Thursday and waited 30 min or so, as promised, for a table. They attract a crowd and know how to move people through. The seafood is reasonably priced and seems fresh. The fried food was heavy on the oil and the broiled didn't look interesting enough, but it was an interesting place to eat. The hush puppies are to die for, don't want to forget them!!

Great place to eat seafood without feeling you are at a high end restaurant. Great service. Really neat place on the inside with all the decorations. Clean and orderly.

This seems to be an iconic stop when in the area. Seafood may be prepared fried, grilled or broiled. We arrived around five and our party of two was seated immediately at the last available table. Portions were large so areive hungry.

This place is just great. Everything was perfectly cooked and seasoned. Their hush puppies are legendary. Every time that I've eaten here has been great.

We had the best meal of our entire vacation here. Food was fabulous; all 5 people loved what they had. I had the scallops and can't wait to go back!!! Love the hushpuppies too. Couldn't fit dessert so can't say how that was but you have to go to Ray's. Worth every penny.

Seafood is fresh and perfectly cooked, but the preparations are relatively bland and unimaginative.Would be nice to see more vegetable options to complement the dishes.Scallops were perfectly cooked, flounder was mushy, swordfish steak was HUGE and was my favorite tasting food. Crab cakes are good, too.A strategic use of herbs, some farm fresh veggies, and a revamped salad (currently is lettuce and huge chunks of raw onion with a sachet of store bought dressing), and this could be a special restaurant.The market side of this business is extraordinary. Fresh catch for great prices!

Food was great. Hush puppies were great. I had steamed shrinp and a garden salad. My fiance had fried oysters and flounder with coleslaw. Service was amazing.
