Fantastic food and a great bar next door! Bran New pool tables, great drinks and service! Open on weekends. Fantastic Southern Rock and blues. Perfect atmosphere for chill weekend drinks. I love it!!

Don't be fooled by the unassuming exterior of this restaurant, or for that matter, the interior. This is some of the best seafood I have ever had in my entire life. We were a little disappointed since they did not have oysters or soft shell crabs but we found some other stuff that we really loved. (They say they only have local fresh seafood, so you should expect there are things on the menu they might not have on any given night.) The sheet crab soup was spectacular. Creamy and full of crab. The pan seared scallops were probably the best scallops I've ever had. Crispy, yet tender and cooked to perfection. The lump crab and shrimp sauteed combo was five star. You could put this in any classy restaurant and charge triple the amount. The absolute best I've ever tasted. Service was excellent

This great restaurant has now added a wonderful Oyster Bar that is open daily from 5 till 10 Pool tables, internet jukebox, draft beer and excellent service. Food from the restaurant is available at the bar including oysters and shrimp. A great Southern destination if you are in the area, or if you are a local!

Excellent! More than just seafood, so I was able to feed the whole family... even the picky eaters. The service is what shines here. Thank you Taylor for a great dining experience! We are already looking forward to our next visit.
