We are regulars here and tonight we decided to try the grilled chicken tenders. We were not disappointed! Juicy, tender and seasoned just right! Their fish is delicious too! I might just have to get the chicken tenders again next time we're here..

We were driving thru, and was looking for a good place to get a fish dinner. Well let me tell you for the price and the food, this is a gem. We had the flounder small oz. And the large oz dishes. Not only it was soft and flaked apart it tasted good. The fries. We're warm for som time when they reached the table , and hush puppies the same. Great staff. Take your self and be surprised at this place.

We really enjoyed our visit today. We had Tasha as a server and she was attentive and on point! We’ve had other servers here but not one like her. We will be requesting her from now on. Food was also 10/10!

If you are looking for good seafood in Gaston County, go here... Yes, there will be a wait if you get there after 6 pm. The food is very good, the service is quick and the atmosphere is quirky. Imagine a starter ranch type home that morphed into an eatery. I am not saying this as a negative, only that it is not the mainstream uber modernism that you see in restaurant design. The focus is the food and what deliciousness it is ! We got there early because the week before we got there after 6 pm and it was packed. People were sharking the large lot looking for a space to park. Going early and by early I mean, 5ish, we still had to had to look for a space but found one on the first pass. The restaurant does have really large booths for big parties in the back. We sat next to one. They look like if you get in the middle of the bench, you can only hope that someone has Purell because 6 people will have to get up to let you out to wash your hands. In looks like a great way to corral children though. Our food came out 15 mins after ordering. It can only assume that the cooks are constantly frying up everything on the menu because I doubt the food is sitting around under a hot lamp with the crowds there. I got the large fried shrimp, and it was really good. The food was piled up and made me feel ok about the price. I have had better seafood, but not this far from the ocean. The Man got the filet flounder and shrimp. We both agreed we liked and will go back. The waitress kept us hydrated as we powered through. The drinks were never more than half empty and a good half/half blend. What we didn’t like was the rushed feeling. I understand the management wants to get the people fed, paid and out so that the next group can sit down. However, its tacky to bring the check while people are still eating, and you can visually see them still eating. Also, don’t offer sweet potatoes that are the size of a meatball. Next time, I will just get fries.

It was my first time there and everything was great. Everyone was very pleasant and polite and made you feel welcomed. I am sure that I will return pretty soon.

Had a blast. Went for my daughter's Birthday. Food was way better than I expected. Waitress was really nice. We didn't have to wait even though we had a party of nine.
