    Food was awesome. They start you with coleslaw and hush puppies that was so good. Made the reservation and that worked out great. Greeted at door and sat right away. Nice family restaurant and the portions were plenty of food. Will be returning next time in town!

    Rather disappointing. Had the combo platter. The shrimp were very good. The cod was rubbery. The scallops tough as well. The sweet potato was good, thought they brought me a baked potato first by mistake.

    Great service, stone crabs and value! We went toBly’s the night before and I think the medium claws here were almost as big and definitely more flavorful.
