    Great place...lively, friendly staff, has a yard full of fun stuff to entertain kids, food was yummy. This was my second time going here, and it was great both times. I had the shrimp taco salad and my friend had the grilled chicken sandwich...both were delicious. Served nice and hot and timely. There's no shortage on staff, so there's no problem with service or wait times or anything like that.

    We stopped here for a quick bite and to try some local craft beers. The atmosphere is fantastic. The staff is very friendly and the food/beers were delicious. We loved the Staycation Beer the best. While it is listed as a sour beer it wasn't too sour. The Ginormous pretzel was good with the jalapeño cheese sauce and on its own. I also got the chili which had the right amount of spice and came with tortilla chips. It was a pleasure to spend around 45 minutes here for a small bite and a few brews. We will be back.

    Upon arrival the parking lot looked like it was packed. Much to our surprise we were seated right away. The menu had so many things I wanted to try but had to pick one. I went with the shrimp and lobster cakes. The plate looked amazing when it came out. The entire meal was fantastic. I have to say after seeing a few orders of their nachos go by I have to return with a few more friends to try them, they looked delicious.

    Came here for a group dinner of 30 people with a bunch of kids. The restaurant was well prepared with tables we had reserved and the buffet style food was already out. There was corn hole, ping pong, and other activities to keep the kids entertained. The server was attentive taking our drink orders. Great atmosphere with live music. The beer selection was good as well.

    Fantastic experience. Stopped in for an early dinner after a beach day. We had not information to go on, just drove by and Thought this looks good We were pleasantly surprised. Indoor and outdoor seating available. We chose outdoor They have a very large deck They offer yard games including ping pong! Hamocks to relax while waiting for food We chose to share some apps! The coconut shrimp was my favorite! Friendly staff and fast service! Check them out next time you hit the beach!

    The vibe was awesome the second we walked in! They've got tons of seating, inside and out, plus stuff to do like cornhole and ping pong, and a playground for the kids. We both got the Myrtle Peach beer – it was super refreshing, like biting into a peach. I also grabbed their Pineapple and coconut beer, which tasted just like a Piña Colada, but in beer form. The service was great, and our food came out pretty quick. We started with eight of their sticky lager wings, which were amazing and not too sweet. I got the shrimp and crab cakes, and my boyfriend got the double smash burger. The portions were good, I had to take half of mine home. We also got the corn muffins, and they were really good and homemade, so we totally recommend those too. Stop by the next time you're in the area, it's well worth it.

    The atmosphere is vibrant and welcoming, with a laid-back, family-friendly vibe that includes fun amenities like ping pong, fire pits, hammocks, and yard games. The staff were top-notch, especially our server, who was incredibly polite and personable. That said, the food was underwhelming. While the menu has potential, the quality didn’t justify the high prices. It felt more like average bar food at a premium cost.
