The food was decent. What really pissed me off is the lady at the register! Not only was she rude but she charged me for something I didn't order then have me a serious attitude when I wanted my money back! Oh and the dipping sauce they gave us was absolutely disrespectful to my taste buds, so bad. A proper remoulade sauce is not hard to make. The fried scallops were salty, but good. We enjoyed the crab cake, it was actually under seasoned. The quality of the meat was nice, a crab cake full of crab meat and not bread. For that I'll be back... For now.

First time and probably the last time I would go there. So went with my wife. She ordered the crab cakes and I will say she really enjoyed them. Now on to me. I ordered the jerk chicken, now being from Jamaica I know very well what jerk chicken is supposed to be. The taste texture, seasoning etc. this unfortunately was not it. The chicken was drowned in sauce, the roasted potatoes were ridiculously over seasoned. In terms of customer service it was not bad in my experience.

I really would to see this restaurant become famous. The food hot and tasty. The Crabcake didn't have a lot of filler. It was crab meat! The fries were hot and lightly crispy. Both were extremely flavorful. Lady behind the counter was nice. I would definitely recommend this place to a friend. I would like to see them invest more in the score though.

This food was ok , the young man at the window was rude. Did not listen when I was placing my order missed the Crab cake entirely when that was the first thing I said. Then they have chicken and waffles on the menu that they are not even selling anymore.. First and last time so not worth $42.00 at all..The best thing was the Crab fries. The crab cake was not done the spinach was just full of pepper and plain nasty...Never again

I have been going by this place, and decided to try the food. Well, I'm glad I did!! I choose the jumbo crab cake with hush puppies. Hours later, and I'm still full. And, the food was delicious!! Only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 was because of the price & wait. But because of the food being on point I can look past the wait. But prices?? Wrong neighborhood for these prices!

They got it right here! Great food. Some of the best crab cakes I've ever had. I big on seafood so I know. Staff is friendly and prompt. No matter what you order from here, can't go wrong. I'd say the crab cakes is the best bet. Great, great choice, always.

Amazing food! I had jerk chicken and it came with roasted potatoes and sauteed spinach. It was delicious and the chicken was very moist and fresh from the oven or stove! Everything was made to order meaning all food are always fresh! Will definitely go to this place again and highly recommend you to go!

First tried late September in passing and on a whim. Hubby got the crabcake which he enjoyed and I tried the popcorn chicken and fries. The crabcake was a little pricey but it is all crab meat. Chicken and fries were a very generous portion for $4.99, cooked and seasoned very well too. They were sold out of the lobster mac n cheese, I really wanted to try it. Second visit early October and we both got the popcorn chicken. A little over seasoned for me but cooked well so was edible. My husband loved it and couldn't eat it in one sitting. We plan to go back at the end of the week and get enough for the teens at home too!
