Fun, lively waterfront outdoor indoor bar and restaurant. Customers can dock their boats and pop in for food and drinks! We went on a hopping Saturday night and were seated at a picnic table on the deck--there was live music, great energy, beautiful views, and Key West vibes. Our server Savannah was so friendly and helpful. She answered all my detailed questions about what and how to order. I ended up getting the crab cake sandwich with fries on the side and a half dozen oysters. The food was tasty and pretty filling. Next time I'm in the area, I'll definitely come back.

It hurts me to leave this review but maybe it will help them. I don't know but I hope so... So first, the good-great... THE CRABS!!! They only do licks so they don't have crabs year round but when they do... they're some of the best. This is actually my go to for crabs if I don't eat at home. They're always heavy, cooked to perfection and priced well. The service is always top tier. Customer service and all is great. Zero complaints about the staff at all. This is also a great place on the water and they always have live music which is good. They also have plenty of parking usually as well. Now the bad... SORRY. But the fried coconut shrimp and fish and chips are horrible. It really is some probably restaurant depot stuff that they just fry up. Of course the fries and puppies are the same but how bad can those be anyway? The coke slaw is good as is the steamed shrimp. Basically anything outside of the crabs is just mid. Sorry but it's true. I'll always come here for crabs, steamed shrimp, pups, fries and slaw but outside of that... sorry.

Fun place to go and sit outside. You can get a picnic table under cover on the back deck, or sit facing the water in Adirondack chairs w a small table in between to put your food & drinks on. Soft shell crab sandwich is the best in town, hard shells available in season, the seared ahi tuna app is awesome as well. Outdoor bar (window), and live music on weekend nights doesn't hurt. The service is good, the location is great. The parking fills up, and you may have to walk from abt half a block, but it's not a big deal.
