What a great find. The clam chowder was delicious!! I had the pine nut salad, I was a bit disappointed. It needed a bit of sweetness, maybe honey in the dressing or a candied nuts. Shrimp poboy sandwich and jambalaya pasta were enjoyed by my friends and they raved about them. The desert selection is visible as you walk in and even if you don’t have room after dinner can be taken to go… which I highly recommend.

My husband and I were invited here with some friends. We got the Cajun steak and loaded mash potatoes. The steak flavor was really good but the steak was tough. The mash potatoes was delicious! But because of the service, the welcoming atmosphere and the delicious potatoes we will definitely come back for another visit. We will try something else other than steak 😊. We ordered the strawberry shortcake and salted caramel cake. They were both really good but the shortcake was my favorite. I definitely recommend this place to visit.

This was my first time here. I came with friends and we had a great time. The food was absolutely delicious, service was good and we loved the atmosphere. We sat out on the enclosed patio. The weather was great, but they also have mini ceiling fans in the lights over the booths. This made it even better. Definitely will be returning. I had the Jambalaya Pasta. Don’t forget to try the cake. I had the Toffee cake and I wanted it for later, but it didn’t make it home. The Birthday cake was also a hit! Including the tip, I spent less than $40.

They have a variety of food options for everyone. The service is great. There are wonderful choices for desserts and very popular. The food is made fresh and served hot. They also have cold plate meals served depending on what you are craving for as your appetite.

We found this great place about 6 years ago when our daughter was in college at UNC. Now our son is going to school there too. Crab cakes and the salmon salad are our favorites. Of course we get a piece of the strawberry shortcake, chocolate peanut butter cake and lemon cake to go!

I had the Crab cakes with mashed potatoes and asparagus that was very delicious. The lobster 🦞 bisque soup was tasty and the key lime pie was a great end to a wonderful dinner. This was my first time here and I enjoyed myself. The service was good and our waitress was very friendly.

Loved the lobster roll! Steak was perfectly cooked! So happy to find this restaurant needed my New England food.

Stopped in for a French dip and impulsively grabbed some banana pudding while I was there! The French dip was pretty good, but the pudding was AMAZING!
