Located at the end of a shopping center with plenty of parking and just a quick hop off the interstate, this spot makes for an easy and convenient stop—whether you’re coming off the road or looking for a laid-back place to relax. It has a great outdoor patio, indoor dining, and a full bar with libations to satisfy every palette. Everything is super clean, from the tables and booths to the floors, and they also offer some fun retail items if you want to take something home. I ordered the Greggah lobster roll warm with their mustard sauce. It came on a top-loaded, buttery toasted bun filled with warm, fresh lobster. Absolute perfection. I also had the crab balls, calamari, and a house salad. The crab balls had a nice spice without going overboard and were served with a flavorful house-made sauce. The calamari was cooked well done, just how I like it—crispy, tender, and not rubbery at all. The sweet and hot sauce they serve it with is divine. The Louie sauce is my personal favorite. They make almost everything from scratch in-house, including the sauces and their slaw. The slaw is cool, creamy, tangy, and sweet—exactly like the kind I grew up eating. The house salad was generously portioned and full of crisp, fresh ingredients, all clearly prepped in-house. I came back the next day for lunch and caught the house-made clam strips special. I got the clam strip basket with sauteed vegetables—same side I had the night before because they were that good. The vegetables are crisp and vibrant, not mushy or overcooked like you sometimes get elsewhere. I also had a cup of clam chowder that was thick, creamy, and packed with flavor. You can taste the coast in every bite. The chain was founded in Carolina Beach, North Carolina, and it still carries that same coastal character. The staff here—bartenders and servers alike—are extremely friendly and helpful, which just adds to the overall experience.

My kind of place, clean fresh seafood, local brew, fun costal vibe. Best way to have a little micro vacation. Try the lobster roll!

Great atmosphere, large screen TVs to watch Saturday games. Waitress was friendly & great. Get the oysters & chowder. Sandwiches were OK. Calamari was good. Saw next table ordered the fish & chip. Next time. They have daily specials - Wednesday is 1.50 oysters raw or steamed, 2 chargrilled oysters with toppings.

We had fried shrimp baskets and they were delicious, fresh, and hot. The service was excellent and it’s a fun, casual place to go. We’ll definitely be back.

Love coming here on Sunday's for a chill lunch! We typically get oysters, fish and chips and the greggah! But we have tried other menu items and they are always good. My favorite drink is the painkiller. Katherine is always an attentive and friendly server!!

This place is INCREDIBLE. Never had a bad meal here. I have never had oysters but love to try new things. The shots are super unique and a fun way to try oysters. So while I figured out I don't like them, everything else is top notch. Seafood is always perfectly cooked, even Pappadeux's doesn't do it this good!! Oh and Kate, the waitress, is literally the best server I've ever had anywhere. She's awesome. Seriously, go eat there now..you won't be sorry

We dropped in on a Wednesday to check out the 1.50 oyster deal. I’ve got to admit, I’m a bit of an oyster snob—usually drawn to the more premium, briny varieties. I can normally throw back a few dozen without thinking twice, but this time I just stuck to six raw. They came nicely presented in their liquor, which I appreciate, but the flavor didn’t quite do it for me. Not bad, just not my style—I like a little more depth and salinity. So we switched it up and went with the grilled oysters, tried them both ways, and they were fantastic. Packed with flavor and cooked just right. We also ordered the calamari, which turned out to be a solid choice—nice and tender, not rubbery at all. Our waitress had her hands full with working multiple tables, but she stayed friendly and on top of things. We never felt forgotten. All in all, a chill spot with good vibes. Looking forward to coming back and trying out more of the menu.

Great food, cocktails & service. Aisha was an excellent bartender and very attentive. The owner, Michael, was very friendly. Fast service with great food. Everything was fresh & perfectly cooked. Great prices. Nice outdoor patio. We liked it so much we came twice (to try different daily specials). Our only complaint is the chairs outside are uncomfortable & parking can be limited. The girl in front of us was small, and you could see the chairs were cutting into her hips too.
