I've tried almost everything in their menu so far and I can tell you I haven't been disappointed. The owners are amazing they are very friendly. They have tables and seats outside in front of the place if you would like to eat there. Just have some courtesy if you're a smoker, smoke away from the place and have some respect for the people eating outside.

The Workshop's dishes brings me back to my time out there!!!One of my favorite things to do is ordering the soup of the day blind(I never look or ask what it is) and enjoying it at the pier on my day off!!! Vegetarian options: For me the roasted veggie option is a vegetarian with the option of adding a protein source. Parking: I have not had any issues finding parking... Kid-friendliness: My kids would be fine but not sure about other kids. Wheelchair accessibility: Very accessible!

But it’s a good spot and it’s definitely worth the try. I had the oyster and shrimp Poboys. They were both really good. I spruced them up with a little extra tartar sauce and hot sauce. Other than that, it was good to go. Definitely a must try if you want southern soul cuisine in the area.

The outdoor seating area is lovely, and they play excellent music, creating a vibrant atmosphere with people coming and going. I found street parking easily without any issues. Overall, it was a great experience!

The only thing I didn't care for was the cocktail sauce, which had a very strong horseradish flavor. If you love horseradish, you'll probably enjoy it, but for me, it was a bit overpowering. The shrimp Po Boy comes with a generous amount of cocktail sauce, so if it’s your first time, I recommend asking for it on the side. On a positive note, the tartar sauce was excellent, and I think the shrimp Po Boy with tartar sauce will be amazing—I’ll definitely try that next time. We just heated up our gumbo, so I’ll let you know how that turns out!
