Well haven't been here since 78. I actually missed this place in my worldly travels. Here tonight 41 years later and the cocktails are still awesome and the food is way better than Joe's Stone Crabs in Miami Beach. Dive Bar Forever with a warm welcome anytime. If your on a bike ride cant beat a stop here. Just on a afternoon cruise cant beat it. If you dont have a enjoyable time dont come back.

This is that secret dive where steaks hang off the plate and cost 14 bucks. The locals keep this as their little hidden gem.

Average food, good prices, best of all, beer to go! Certain nights that have specials and it gets crowded. Things really slow down then.

Been coming here for years. Bar can get a little crowded but it's mostly with people you know. The restaurant is very good. Sunday's there are like family breakfast just with all the neighbors and friends. I enjoy eating here and highly suggest the family feeling environment.

This place has great food and snacks. It's also close by so I can ride my bike up there to get some food or snacks for my brother but my mom wouldn't let me

Outstanding food 95% of the time.was let down with some shrimp and roasted red pepper soup.Service always excellent even when busy.Always have a good time

Great food friendly server. Warm, homey atmosphere. Will definitely go back again. Glad to have found this place.

Great dive bar/family restaurant. Package goods and bread too. The bar has a few pool tables and fast and friendly bartenders. It's not where you go to get craft beer, but if you'd like Natty Boh on draft and Miller Lite draft, canned, or bottled, this is the place. Plenty of macro domestic options, a few popular local bottles, and a few taps, all at good prices.The food at the restaurant is usually very good - but stick to the less ambitious dishes and avoid the pizza. Homemade desserts daily. Burgers are great, pit beef/ham/turkey on Saturday is always good and a good value, and shrimp night is fantastic- a pound of nice-sized shrimp and four bottled beers for 18.99.The bar gets busy with contractors after their shifts and the restaurant is hopping every night for a few hours around dinner. They serve breakfast daily.
