    Great place! Food was superb. Try the Corn Fritters! Burger was outstanding and fries some of the best around. Thursday Burger special included Braxton Brewing’s Bavarian Lager - also excellent. Staff is very friendly.

    The drinks and food are top notch. The oysters are reasonable and fresh. The fries are perfectly crisp and seasoned. The fried chicken sandwich is a must! Actually…everything is a must. The drinks are all delicious and fun!

    We had a really nice meal there. Ben, our server was great. He told us he was new to the position, but did a outstanding job like a seasoned veteran. He did not know the answer to one of our questions, but immediately admitted he didn't and promptly got the answer for us. Really nice job!

    My shrimp and grits was very good. Great service too. My friend was not overly impressed with her chicken- saying it wasn’t as good as other places she has dined.
