Great price. Mediocre quality. Beautiful view. Right on the water. Service was good. My son said his meal was great. He had crab stuffed flounder. I had scallops. They were dry and tasteless.

Not a good experience this time. I asked for tea and got Pepsi, sweet potato and got regular baked, my husband had to go to kitchen for a steak knife, and the salads came before the appetizer. On the other hand our waitress was very nice.

Great sunset view & great food. Incredibly fair pricing for large portions. Domestic beer at $3 is unbeatable. If you're reading this review you really need to give this very well-established restaurant a shot.

Lunch there 5-3-17 was EXCELLENT! Food was fresh and prepared to perfection. Service was top-notch. We will return often.

If anybody knows anything about seafood, they would definitely know this restaurant is absolutely disgusting! We tried this restaurant because it came highly recommended from a friend. We arrived just as the sun was setting and the view was quite breathtaking! That’s where the good ends and the awful begins. When we arrived inside, there were a ton of empty tables but the owner met us with a crappy attitude and said it would be a 10 minute wait. 30 minutes later we finally got seated in what seemed to be a pleasant section of screened-in outdoor seating that was non-smoking. A few minutes later the smell of cigarettes began wafting over from the smoking section of outdoor seating (the two sections are only separated by a screen). Seriously...what establishment even allows smoking anymore? And what non-smoker wants to choke down the smell of cigarettes while they’re trying to have a nice dinner?! We ordered the Dockside Rockin’ Oysters and She-Crab soup as an appetizer. Once those arrived, this is where the experience ended. The oysters were completely disgusting! I wouldn’t even try them, but my husband did and 16 hours later he is still nauseated just thinking about them. Let me add that my husband has been eating oysters for years and knows how they’re supposed to be served. The she-crab soup was a bland cup of slime that left a horrible film in my mouth with a bad aftertaste. It almost resembled something out of a can...definitely not homemade and no seasoning at all. When we decided to leave, the owner got all confrontational with us & had a horrible attitude. She was definitely ticked that we weren’t happy with the food. We offered to pay for what we had received, but she did not charge us for anything which was a plus. However, we definitely won’t be back and are truly shocked that this place has stayed in business for so long. The view: splendid! The service: mediocre. The food: nauseating. I wouldn’t recommend wasting your time or money here.
