EXCELLENT Based on 2425 reviews Dorothy Jasper-ArcheySeptember 16, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We visited this past weekend (9/12/2025) surprisingly they were trying out a new price platform. The new options/cost for crabs were amazingly much less than all you can eat former price! Great idea for so many crabs. The corn and hush puppies were awesome. The dinner overall was exceptional. Thanks to our waiter that had the new idea for the crab options. We’ve been eating here for 3 years and have enjoyed each visit from Philadelphia. Jo LSeptember 13, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. That fried chicken dish is lights out. I think ROFO stole your style. The fries that come with it and that cornbread perfect. Also had the oysters rockefeller which were really great. Everything felt very homemade or just local if you will. Need to come back for crabs… The only complaint is why were there a ton of tables open but you’re telling guests there’s a 45 minute wait but there’s a waitress complaining about not getting more tables at the bar? Sounds like front of house needs a little love on a Saturday afternoon. Back of house had it down though so that’s all that really matters.

S MAugust 25, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I think I went here when I was a child. I had memories of it being an old restaurant. If so, it has changed...for the better! This is my wife and my new happy place to boat to and sit outside, have a beverage, and listen to live music. Food, the past 4 times, has been incredible. If you are in the mood, try the fried chicken....
