"Food was amazing. I got a buffalo blue cheese wrap it was fresh and flavorful and the seasoned fries slap hard. Mixed drinks were also on point. The server was quick and friendly. Definitely recommended."

"We arrived and initially sat outside but then there was extreme winds that blew our menus out of our hands so we asked to be moved inside. Once inside we were sat next to a table of about 15 to 20 young adults who were so obnoxiously loud that we heard other tables around us complaining about them as well. Eventually they became so obnoxious and loud that we asked to be moved and then our experience was really good. We ordered and our food came out decently quick and the quality was pretty good!"

"When we arrived we were the only ones there. We asked to sit outside and our hostess kindly let us even though the weather wasn't completely ideal. Our food came in a good time frame. My alcoholic beverage was exactly as I asked! The prices are truthfully about what you would anticipate for being right at the beach itself. Not bad food, but (some) of the kids menu portions are minimal. All in all still a good choice and happy we went"

"KellyAnn was our wonderful server today. She was super friendly and made our lunch a fantastic experience. We tried a wrap, a burger and the Philly cheesesteak and everything was delicious…especially the drinks—the peach margarita and the mango drink were so good. Loved this place!"

"Yeah I swear the service and the food we're great! A little on the pricey side but the quality of the food as well. Blackened chicken wrap and the burger was great. The only Annoying Thing were the flies on the outdoor patio but the waitress warned us about those too ... our choice to stay"

"So we got the bourbon teriyaki wings to start with and let me say there absolutely kick ass . And we ordered shrimp basket and the fish and chips . I will say it was definitely worth it. Now I will say it was 78.00 for the 2 of us but the food was really good. I waiter was so nice. He didn't rush us or try and push us to get anything but what we wanted."
