We've lived in the area for a year thinking it was a seafood restaurant. They serve seafood, but I would classify this as a bar setting with a few tables, pool table, video games and smoking is permitted. It seems like a locals establishment with better than average "bar food." There are enough televisions and the bar is large. The prices are low considering the higher quality of food and we will likely go back for an early dinner again. Don't go there expecting a fine dining experience, but if you're looking for a fun, less expensive place with surprisingly good food, give it a try. Read more Read less

Friendly staff, good service, great food!

Too many restrictions with certificate and too many out of stocks

Food was good but atmosphere needed updating.

great food and service.

We would go there anyway, but the coupon program makes it more affordable.

Food was below average. This was a smoke filled bar with a few tables added.

Great food and service, we really enjoyed it, went back again in the same week.

Food was excellent!

My husband really likes the pizza at this bar. Also they have great oyster prices.
