Customer Reviews

The service was friendly and helpful, and the food came out quickly. The clams were sooo good ! Oysters, calamari were great, and the funnel cake was just ok. They will be closing for the season on 10/13 (Columbus day) and they are only opening on the weekends until there

Two employees at the counter eagerly took our orders and proceeded to prepare our food. One dozen chilled oysters, a loaded hot dog and drinks. Everything was fabulous and at a great price.

My thoughts on this restaurant are belated. The bill runs high, but value options exist for patient diners. The staff was responsive and the atmosphere was nice. Workers here give attention that parallels their food excellence. The employees here demonstrate good character.
