Great place for delicious food & drinks. Drink specials are fantastic, oysters are great, and yummy oyster shooters available. Downstairs is a full restaurant . Upstairs is a bar with smaller menu. :)

The Clam Chowder is some of the best ever. We always love the shrimp and crab leg combo and hushpuppies ! Send 1 person to get on the list and play games on the pier across the street.
