Great smoked wings. Kentucky Bourbon sauce was very flavorful. Everything ordered here was very good. A nice hidden gem. Old Florida!
This place is really really good. Went for th3 first time a few weeks back and had their Poke bowl and it was much better than expected. Took the wife and daughter back the other day and it was even MORE impressive! The wings are the hidden gem here...get them Buffalo Garlic Parm, and enjoy. The chicken Philly, Cuban and the grilled rye club are also ! Kudos to the team here, I'll be making this a regular lunch spot.
Came here as one of my stops for my birthday on Super Bowl Sunday on February 9th! The wings were out of this worldddd, I was pleasantly surprised and also impressed to see edamame on the menu, it could’ve used more spice like chili pepper or cayenne pepper and that would’ve made it 10/10, but other than that I have no complaints! The IPAs on tap were also strong and delicious, hit me like a ton of bricks which is what I want! I always pass this place but had never checked it out until now and we’re so glad we did. I can’t stress enough how good the wings are, the Cuban was calling my name as well but we didn’t want anything too heavy, next time forsure though! The server gave great recommendations and accommodated us to our needs, she was so helpful! Thank you for being part of making my birthday special.

Wonderful place off route 29. Soup(clam chowder) and salad special as well as oysters
We are visiting from Arizona and popped in here for lunch. We were thrilled with our choice. We received exceptional care from Lauren, it was so nice to receive old-fashioned service. Plus, the food was better than we could have expected. I had the fish tacos; my husband had the Cuban sandwich. The sangria was tasty as well! We wish we lived closer.
Came on Mother’s Day and it wasn’t very busy which was freaking awesome cause I thought we would have to wait a while. For the snow crab special for 24 (2 giant clusters with a side of your choice). The crab was perfect and the feta whip appetizer was god mode. Hubby got the French dip and polished off every bite, he was very pleased. We will absolutely be back
What a friendly place!Great crowd, great food, and outstanding servers, especially Amy, who took care of us. It's a wine and beer pub with really good food. The patrons are friendly, and if you peek through the marina out back, there are views of the water.Give it a try!
