We didn’t have food, but oh my gosh did we have fun!!!! Very clean, outstanding service and fun atmosphere. Just stopped on a road tour of the area. It’s worth your stop! The bartender and cooked helped each other and totally hustled to serve everyone!

Came in for some lunch on a whim while on vacation. Shrimp boil was delicious! The Italian beef was good too.

Went here with my family on vacation. The service was amazing! The husband of the cook was eating there and helped the service out because there were so many of us. We had 5 kids and everything was clean. The bartender/server was so great! Hopefully we vacation near again and we will be back!

We were greeted promptly after entering by the friendly bartender. After finding our table the waitress greeted us and gave us menus. She too was very friendly. The food and service were awesome!

The staff was excellent. They made sure everyone had something to drink a adequate amount of time for the big group of people we had there. We will definitely stop in again!
