    Our party of 4 agreed that this was one of the best seafood meals we have ever had… we live on the coast and frequent many venues!

    I took my nextdoor neighbor to this restaurant because he loves oysters. He and I loved them. The seafood nachos were great and my neighbor loved his fried oyster po boy. The service was excellent. As soon as we left my neighbor said "we're coming back here".

    Service was absolutely amazing. Good was so delicious! The ambience wasn’t the prettiest, sitting next to a parking lot but what can you do? We still had the best time. Will definitely be back! Oysters were so fresh and delicious!

    Wow. What a great place. Emily was our server and was teriffic. We had fried pickles and steamed oysters. Very attentive staff. Perfect delivery. This is in a strip mall but who cares it was good and busy. They are clearly doing something right.

    It was great! Our reservation was at 8:30 and this place closed at 9pm. But we never felt rushed to leave.
