"While staying at Boardwalk hotel we visited here a few times. The first time was around lunch on a Saturday, although it was crowded staff still took my drink order in a timely manner. We visited later to watch football and the waitress/bartender Maddie took great care of us. She checked in every now and then making sure we didn't need anything, and when we did she was on top of it."

"Ordered Fish and Chips, my daughters had wings and fries. The food was Excellent! Fish was the perfect crispness and both fish and fries had just the right amount of salt and pepper seasoning. Great stop for a quick moderately priced meal, packed ready for take out on the beach or to eat in!"

"I got the fish and chips to go and the food really surprised me! You won't be hungry after eating here. The fish was crisp but still tender and moist, plenty of well seasoned chips(fries), and the slaw was fresh and light. I would definitely recommend ordering this."
