Super awesome place to come get some seafood. Cool atmosphere, good drinks, and bomb food! We had the firecracker shrimp and it was delicious! I had the lobster mac and cheese, and my husband had the catch of the day. It was amazing, 10 out of 10. Our server, Zach was also very helpful and informative!I'd definitely come back here again. Friendly service, good atmosphere, and amazingly fresh food. š

I would rate it 9/10 simply because of the wait time. However, it was understandably a busy evening but we still had to wait a while for our server. The food was absolutely amazing!! We had the grilled chicken sandwich with Mac &cheese and hamburger with fries. The grilled chicken was not dry at all and tasted amazing! The bacon was delicious! Fries crispy! Mac and cheese was great; however, the portion size didnāt equal the $3 additional charge. Overall, a great place with a great server!

We were so pleasantly surprised by this place. I ordered the blackened fish Oscar which was served with crab meat, mashed potatoes and asparagus. The portion was huge! Normally places are so stingy with crab meat but at $28 this was worth it. I got 2 meals out of it. The flavor was delicious. My mother in law got the crabby mac and again with a huge portion. It was so delicious and creamy and had a great amount of crab meat. The fried shrimp was tender and flavorful. The service was also great. We will be back before vacation is over.

We received wonderful service from Faith. She was personable and attentive. The martinis made by Tara were excellent! The let down was the food - we were really rooting for this place to hit a home run, but they could not deliver.We ordered:- Apps - shrimp cocktail // shrimp was warm and cocktail sauce was still frozen- Kids mac & cheese // Mac & cheese was delicious and the onion rings that we had as a side were scrumptious- scallops with baked potato and zucchini // Too much black pepper on the scallops drenched in the scallop liquid, Zucchini was salty, Baked potato was great- Surf and turf // filet and bacon was cold, crab cake cold, mashed potatoes warm and yummyOverall, the main dishes were cold or lukewarm, but the sides were hot, overall everything was over salted.Go here for drinks, onion rings, Faith, and a lively atmosphere - not much else.

Amazing! Highly recommended!! This is the 1/2 size fresh catch. The slaw is a must - apple cabbage so good. Fish was wonderful. My sister had the scallops and she loved them. Mac n cheese is killer! Worth the stop and reasonably priced

Love the steamed veggies with chili sauce! So good! Generous portions. Salad with blackened chicken was also really good and large. We were thrilled to finally find crab dip that was served with toasted bread. The overall flavor of the dip was good but it was too salty. Hush puppies were a little overcooked on the outside and a little undercooked on the inside.Vegetarian options: There are a few Vegan and vegetarian options

My kinda place, small and very good, the owner was in and very attentive. Sauces were very good, particularly the raspberry horseradish sauce for the shrimp appetizer. I had a mac and cheese plus crabmeat that was a large portion and delicious with Asiago cheese. Burgers were served around the table which were cooked to order so some pink was in evidence and appreciated. Just when we thought we were done they announced dessert which was chocolate or coconut cream cake. We opted for 3 coconut cream cake with custard layers in between and got huge pieces of cake. Super delicious and very very good. I woukd definately hit this pkace again anyway. Thank you forca great atmosphere and food.

Here's the good.The waiter, waitress, bartender and Chef were absolutely hands down the best. The food came out fast and the Seafood Chowder was crazy off the hook with flavor! The "simple" harbor house with Tuna added was on point! The fresh Oscar with potatoes, asparagus and crab on top. Oh my goodness! The Chef worked magic! The peach mules were just made to perfection as well! The waiter and waitress worked together and took care of tables, no "that's not my table" attitudes.Here's the not so good.The outside needs to be rid of the over flowing cigarette pail. It sits right beside the front door, for every one to see & smell. The cushions in the booths are dirty and torn, just replace them with fresh cheap new ones. They don't need to be fancy. The bottom of the booths are dirty, I'm sure from the mop hitting them all the time. A Mr.Clean magic eraser or a quick coat of paint will resolve it. Please help your amazing staff, make your restaurant even better!

We got in at just at the right time before dinner crowd started coming in so got seated right away. Emily was our waitress, and she is terrific. Didn't describe. Pompano or barramundi correctly (former is a flaky fish, latter is more dense, and she said they were similar), but it's ok, we knew the difference.I was also hesitant to order the catch of the day Oscar because of a recent review saying it was overcooked and dry, but I took a chance and glad I did. It was DELICIOUS! Best meal I've had in a while. Huge portions. My husband ordered a wedge salad, his favourite salad. That didn't disappoint either. Lettuce was fresh and crisp, plenty of blue cheese dressing. Almost forgot, got their chowder as an app. Very tasty but as I only got a cup, a little too thick.We'd go back in a minute.Parking: Parking is tough. Not many spots.we had to circle.Kid-friendliness: Had kids' menu, and there were quite a few families in there.

Outta the park! So many details made a great lunch. The staff is masked, and properly (+points for caring about us). Oil was right temp and batter was perfect! Fish and shrimps were fresh and full of flavor. The big cucumbers in the salad.. Hummingbird on draft, chef's kiss!

Wonderful food. My husband ordered the seafood chowder and it was more than enough for a meal. I could have just eaten the broth though, it was do delicious.We had the crab dip (sorry ...picture shows it half eaten already) as an appetizer and i had blackened scallops which were cooked to perfection!@

Great place...like everywhere short on help. But we were in and out in a timely fashion03/18/22 update...went to get a salad for lunch (love their salads) but got wings so I could try the "sands in the surf" sauce. It was plenty hot. If tou like HOT wings its for you. The taste is there but the heat kicked in before the full taste. I will try them again with beer today was lunch and water. But everything they have so far jas been point on ...great. If you try the wings let me know what you think. Wife had a burger and it was great.08/01/22...wow this place is still great. I am hooked on their salad and is all the pics I have now. But a friend got wings and they were great. All the wings I have got have been great also. The burgers are great and fried pickles are awesome. Just say...everything is great.08/18/22 some how I forgot to post about my wings. I have had the hot and regular Cheerwine sauce wings. Both were excellent but the hot wasnt hot enough for me. Great taste with heat but mild would be correct. I like hot but not real hot. The regular Cheewine sauce was great taste with zero heat. Everything we have got off the menu has been great. I dont think you can go wrong going here. Be sure to read the board as you go in on the left at hostess10/12/22 got the hot buffalo wings...they are great..wife got chicken pie...so far everything has been really good. I still can say you got to give it a try.01/16/23 first visit this year. Food was awesome. I got blackened grouper and it was great. Wait staff did a good job. They were busy with only 1 empty table and a couple bar stoods. Always ftiendlyTara at the bar...get a Cheerwine mule. I feel sure she can do any drink good.03/15/23 updateThis place is still amazingbwith the food. I love the Ceasar with blackened chicken. Looking forward to buffalo mac next time. Tara and Zac are great...2 more I cant remeber their names are great also.Features: Everything was normal...u want to wear a mask ok...you dont...okParking: Parking is tight and not many as is normal on the island. You might have to hunt a place at the closed places and walk.

Iāve been once and enjoyed it. Much larger on the inside than it looks on the outside. Nicely decorated. Friendly staff. Clean. Our meals were excellent. My wife raved about the blackened scallops. I had tenderloin tips over mashed potatoes and an awesome gravy. Prices were reasonable. I highly recommend you giving it a try.

We came here for lunch and it was great! The food was amazing, (the fries were soooo good!!) and they have multiple labeled gluten free options which was really nice. Our server, Zach, was great and was happy to answer our questions about food allergens. The outdoor patio seating was fun with picnic tables and bright paintings. Would definitely recommend!! :)

I understand business, but this was bad. Ordered the 1/2 fried shrimp, 1/2 fried fish basket with onion rings, and asked for 2 tarter sauces and a cocktail sauce. Spent $25 on it, and arrived to my VRBO, and there was NO shrimp cocktail sauce or tarter sauce. I had to go to Publix while food getting cold and buy both sauces. The food was a grease pit, overcooked, and burned hush puppies. If he at the front would have included the sauces, I would have given 3 or 4 stars. I threw 1/3 out and gave my dog the rest of the fish. Sorry, but for $25 it was a terrible experience. I saw good reviews, but it wasn't the case. Oh, I ate some of it so as not to waste the $25 I spent and then another $8 on sauces.

My husband and I are vacationing here from Iowa. We stumbled upon this restaurant for the first time on Sunday and we loved it so much we went back the next day. The pompano was delicately fried and delicious. The shrimp was breaded and fried to perfection. We were helped by two very lovely young women. Very fair prices. I want to come here at least one more time before we leave.. Thanks so much

EVERYTHING was great! If you are in the area please stop by! Zackery was our server and an OKI Native. He knew so much about the menu and his suggestions were spot on. Such a great dining experience. Also the Samurai Shrimp is the best! Nothing comes close!

Absolutely delicious. Got the grouper, mashed potatoes, and broccoli. They offer take out as well as dine in. They have high chairs and a kids menu. It would be nice however if the kids menu offered something other than the typical chicken tenders. A smaller piece of fish would be nice. But the food was great. Well done.Kid-friendliness: High chairs, kids menu

Flavor is added to the max in the most appropriate way with every dish you have. All the way starting from the sugar cookie Martini down to the chocolate mousse for the dessert everything with had the most amount of flavor in just the most perfect way. My dish was the special of the day a pompano fish fillet where you can have it done the way you like it either grilled or broiled or blackened. The bacon shallot green beans are awesome. Service is friendly attentive and great. My only star removed is because the location is small such that the dining area is meshed in with the bar area so when the bar crowd starts to get together and it's all seats taken and as many seats standing it gets pretty loud and you find that you have to talk too loud to your dining partner which is when I decided that it was time to go since I had to raise my voice too loud which just makes the whole place get too loud you know what I mean? Otherwise it's a great place I recommend going to dinner early or during lunch time!

I don't often do reviews, but this place exceeded my expectations. Our server Zach did a great job. I always like a server that lets their personality show through. We both had the fresh catch, which was Pompano. I had mine blackened, Oscar style and my partner had the regular blackened Pompano. It was delicious. I don't know how it could have tasted any better, and it was cooked perfectly. We had margaritas, and did something we don't normally do, which is order a second one. They were frsh and not too much ice, so you got your money's worth. I wouldn't hesitate to eat here again.
