The service is excellent but the food isn't great. They offered me a drink while I wait I think it's really cute I'm there the docked boat is really cute. They have water on the side to give it the real boas feeling. My said was fresh and on point. The shrimp felt a little over cooked. The the hush puppies were excellent! I would recommend this place apparently the oysters are the best sellers.

We ordered alligator bites - just okay, kind of chewy with very little taste, sweet potato fries - good and a combo plate which was pretty good too. The best thing that we ate was the fish. It was perfectly cooked and seasoned. The staff were very kind when we picked up the order. We would probably go back to have more fish if we were in the area again.

Pretty good food. The oysters and shrimp were better thank the fish in my opinion. The fish was too slimy/ veiny for me. The place has friendly staff.

Arrived at 1:15pm a little late in the lunch hour. Parking lot was almost full, but found a couple open spots at the rear. They also have an additional/overflow lot....Indoor and outdoor seating available. Since cold time of year they do have the temp tarp walls and propane heaters for outdoor seating and when we walked in it wasn't to cold with the heaters running. We still sat inside because they have a huge counter shaped like a boat hull and it is a better experience.Paper menus (probably COVID related) but a lot of options and pricing from under $10-$30They have many seafood options and oysters too.I ordered the combo which is a cup (basically a small bowl) of seafood gumbo and half a poboy. I had the fish poboy.Gumbo was really good and they had rice already added so no scoop on the side like most places do. The poboy was really really good. Fresh toasted bread, tar tar sauce was really good and the fish fried perfect. Served with lettuce, tomato and onions but I only needed the lettuce.French fries came with and they were hot and fresh made to order no cold fries serviced here.Staff was really good and on top of things they have 2 people running the center bar area and the cooks are behind but in sight. Everything is close up and you can watch them prepare the oysters too.Service was great and food terrific, will be back again...

Awesome seafood. Even though I am an adult, I like my very basic fried shrimp basket and a michelada lol. The breading is really great, not the crappy thick breading with small shrimp. The environment is very chill and casual. Service is fast, especially if it's a late lunch (2-4pm).

I had the worst experience at this location Friday 11/3/23. The women's bathroom did not work. We let the staff know and the waiter proceeded to tell us to stick out hand down the back of the toilet to pull the chain and flush the toilet... like wtf!! That should have been the red flag to leave but my family was on ho all day and needed a quick meal. We ordered 3 entrees and 2 appetizers. All 3 entrees came out before the appetizers! Then when asked about it the waiter proceeded to say, oh the appetizers take longer...as if we have never dined out before and don't know appetizers come first..duh.. the food that we received was ok. One appetizer never made it and when brought to the server's attention, we decided to cancel the order. Overall, we will never return this location. A little mouse also decided he wanted to see what was happening on the patio and did not seem afraid of people. This place was a total disappointment. For $85 check and a hefty tip you would expect a working restroom and competent service. Go elsewhere this place should be shut down!!

They have the best fried shrimp and their chicken and sausage gumbo is amazing. I eat there a lot.
