Reviews

GOOD FOOD BUT OLD BUILDING let me just say the food here is so good.
The right seasoning and good portion.
What I don’t appreciate is the smell of this place and how old it looks inside.
I do think this place has been open for a long time so maybe it time they remodel or renovate it.
MY ONLY ADVICE IS TO CALL IN AND HAVE YOUR FOOD TO GO AT THIS LOCATION.
Which is the best things since their food is good.
I have tried their fish and shrimp which was a 10/10 for me.
Fish tacos 10/10 as it was a little burned since their waiter said it good when the fish is like that and I totally agreed.
I also had their Philly steak which was 4/10 to my liking.
It was missing the flavor and seasoning but as far as other food.
Their salad is okay super basic 😭fries were fluffy and good 🙂.
Overall People really seemed to enjoy their meal.
FOOD DOES TAKE A WHILE TO COME OUT.
We waited for our food for a while which I wasn’t happy about.
In the future, I will be going to others location.


Tj provided great & prompt service with a smile everytime he checked in on us.
Waited maybe 3-5 minutes tops to be seated for lunch.
We had 3 adults and a toddler.
The food was hot, big portions, and worth the price.
We all finished everything.
No complaints.
A table next to us even had to comment on the fish and chips on how amazing it looked.
The quesadilla was tha tha thick! Multiple TVs, with a bar area and free parking.
Watermelon Margarita was pretty tasty as well! This was my first time and I will recommend to try! I will be returning with my fiancé!


We sat at the bar and had a great time the drinks were delicious and the food portion was fantastic (Lamont) was wonderful and kept up with the full bar .
We enjoyed the fried corn . I will be back for the mussels (a dash salty , but for the quantity it’s worth it )
