For those looking for a more traditional entrée, the Crab Pot has a wide variety of options. The rest of the menu is made up of fried seafood, grilled seafood, chicken, burgers and sandwiches. While the seafood options are delicious, there are plenty of beef and chicken dishes as well like the colossal bacon cheeseburger and grilled chicken with seasonal vegetables.

    Thanksgiving at 555 is insane!! AND the staff does a fantastic job getting everyone to their tables. This is the most organized front staff we have ever witnessed at a Top End Restaurant. As soon as we were seated, our Server, Ray, was at the table opening our bottle of wine. (NO CORKAGE at this wonderful Steak Restaurant!!) How often does that happen? The first thing Ray asks is how much time do we want before ordering. He asked the same question after each course. This is Beautiful!! The last thing we want at a great meal is to be rushed. No need to go on about our steak, as it was just what we ordered. Thanks for a wonderful evening. K&C

    We wanted to take my mom out to lunch for her birthday. I’ve passed this place many times and it was right down the street from my church. Everything was great except the music was a little loud, which we weren’t expecting. My dad is 85 so we were a little worried but then my mom started bopping to the songs and my dad was loving the guacamole so it was ok. Overall we had a good time. The service and food were excellent.
