I’ve been here twice and both times were consistent. First of all, the atmosphere is very cool and unique, with a rustic, seaside vibe. Amazing views of the river throughout the restaurant thanks to the big windows and glass garage doors. Kitchen was slow (and they admit it), but the service was fantastic and the food is pretty good. This last time we had the fish and chips along with the nachos, both of which were delicious and massive in portion. Good drink selection, including their own line of beer. I’ve had 3 of their... read more

We passed this place after fishing and decided to give it a try. We were about to turn around after the Assistant to the Regional Manager (IYKYK) said “we don’t have anything available” before checking her tablet but miraculously the hostess found us a table.

The little creatures weren’t inside with us so we let it slide but damn it’s about time to clean them off. There was a cute little blues band playing and i... read more

Found this gem via a Facebook ad and it was worth the trip! About 30 minutes from Mechanicsville with some great views. Food was good and service was great. Lots of seafood options which is a plus! It was too hot to sit outside when we went but there are tons of seating options. There’s live music pretty often too. We will definitely be back!

Although the front of the building isn’t inviting, the food was EXCELLENT. We had wings, shrimp, a Nashville Hot sandwich and fish and chips. Our little man had mini corn dogs and ice cream. The Nashville hot was probably the best one I ever had. My husband’s fish was huge. We definitely recommend.
