Beautiful, and spacious surroundings. We had a party of 10 for my Uncle’s 73rd birthday @4pm on 3/22/24. We were taken care of the whole time no complaints. Pricing is fluctuated. Our party ordered cajun chicken, wings (Garlic/Thai) , shrimp & grits, ceaser/house salads, crab cake sandwich, & crab cake bites & scallops. Take note the crab cake sandwich had alot of filling. Parking is plentiful.
