Had a good meal and wait time was only about 40 mins. The breading on the fish was a little too much, but the fish was good underneath. The shrimp and crab pasta was really good and the oysters were nice.

We have ordered take-out here more times than I can count (and obviously love it or we would have stopped) but today was the first time we dined in, sitting on the sidewalk bar seats for lunch. Food was top notch and so nice getting it fresh. Service was fantastic and loved the atmosphere of a busy ship bottom beach day walking/driving by. I had a crab cake and the Baja fish tacos special with fries while my son had clams with a side of clams and pasta (linguini and clams). BYOB but they do have some wines for sale. Take out here is also great and one thing I’ve always been impressed with is regardless of how chaotic it is or complicated the order I’ve never seen them mess it up.

The place is lovely looking. The young ladies were very happy to help you saw a bunch of people there for dinner so I tried it . The book doesn’t read like the cover ! Over priced ! And if the food had been good I could have gotten over the price for I was told the price before they started making it . It was fresh with not a drop of flavor. I have eaten low sodium chips that tasted better ! Beyond flavor less . I saw that you sell spices there for the take out side please asked the cook to walk over and grab one . Hell if he is afraid of flavor tell him to at least use the salt and pepper. I promise people will thank you for it The portion was very small to the price point. I will include pictures so it will not be hear say . When you look at the picture know that I ate one shrimp from the tray and one piece of broccoli . That was all it took for me to go straight to Wawa for a sandwich for it was late. Now that you saw the portion know that I paid $40 bucks for the entree.

Try the Birch Beer (very sweet root beer) – that’s delicious.
First time to have raw clams – very interesting and good.
Enjoyed the chowder.
Fried clams were good, too.
Sweet staff.
Restroom is outside.

I went to this location last night with family. The location is pretty good. We had a 35min wait which is reasonable on a holiday week. While waiting I noticed was how hard the hostess worked. It was impressive. Moving tables, herding the people in line and making herself available to answer questions. When seated our server was awesome, light hearted and efficient. Food was fantastic. Everyone enjoyed. I will definitely be back.

❤️ Overview:
My mom came here for dinner at around 5pm and it was already popping! It was a 45 min to an hour wait or they could sit us outside immediately, so we chose outside! So definitely recommend coming early or being ready to wait. Nice thing if you will wait, they take your phone number and will call you when your table is ready. Which I think every restaurant should do!
Overall, all the food was good! It’s also BYOB, so if you want to drink, bring your own alcohol! Sitting outside was nice, but it was super windy and you are facing the street so not the best view but definitely was better than waiting an hour!
(I was debating sharing this, but I’m going to, I took a small container of clam chowder to go and ate it the next day, which I think was a mistake because I got food poisoning the following day after eating it and another meal I had. It was probably a combination of the two. But also don’t take my word on this because it could be unrelated, but my husband, friends and I think it definitely could have been it.)
❤️What was ordered:
Jumbo lump crab cake sandwich, blackened scallops, side salad, and fried oysters
❤️Stand outs:
Blackened scallops
❤️Would I come back/recommend:
Yes – I would recommend
No – I wouldn’t come back

We stopped in around 6 PM to find a line at the door. The couple ahead of us was seeking a table for eight and were told that it would be 90 minutes or more. We were a little discouraged at this point but when the hostess got to us asked about a seating preference we were immediately seated outside. Not bad! We are leaving only three stars for atmosphere because we never saw the inside of the place.
We called in advance and found this to be a BYOB restaurant. Apparently this is widely known among the regulars as it seemed that everyone waiting for a table had wine with them.
We started off with oysters on the half shell which were served with cocktail sauce, horseradish and a vinaigrette. Our dinner entrees included fried scallops and jumbo lump crab cakes. We finished off the meal with a blueberry crisp ala mode. Everything was wonderful; we will definitely go back again.

After being told the wait would be an hour or more at a couple of regular spots we decided to try someplace else and discovered this little gem (which it turns out has the same owners as the restaurants we left). We were told it would be a 15-20 minute wait, ended up being only about 5 minutes. Excellent food and prompt, friendly service. Mainly a fish market with about ten tables and some outdoor seating. Had two of the specials – scallop appetizer which was very good and swordfish with chorizo butter. Swordfish was cooked perfectly. Staff could not have been more friendly or attentive.

So I ordered my food, and they forgot all the sauces. Then when I asked for the sauces and some parm on the side, they gave me this ant portioned container thing of parm!!!!! I would usually use like, 5 to 6 times as much. AND, there was a bite taken out of my grandmas shrimp!!!! She wasn’t very pleased. The food was good tho.
UPDATE: My grandpa admitted that HE took a bite of the shrimp. The Clam Linguine was sooooo good

The Honest Reviewer (Gold Standard Reviews)
Well, as the Honest reviewer here. I can’t say I’m pleased at all.
I personally ordered the chicken…. It was practically rubber chicken. Horrific. Thank goodness I ordered broccoli cause how can you screw that up.
Just horrific. Extremely salty steak and chicken. Very veiny tuna.
I don’t belive I will be back.
Also presentation for the environment must be fixed. As soon as you walk in you see. Dirty tank for the lobsters. It’s not a very appealing feeling you get when you walk in. I understand if it ain’t broke don’t fix it. But it’s just an old feel with not very good food in my option. I felt like I just ate bad diner food.
Again won’t be back
