Up until this visit, all of our friends have been very pleased. However, my friend from Minnesota ordered a broiled walleye sandwich with Old Bay seasoning, and it was so heavily seasoned that he couldn't take a second bite. When he brought the sandwich to the cashier to request a replacement or some sort of compensation, he was met with refusal. The cashier seemed more focused on his phone than on the situation in the restaurant. I tried to get his attention multiple times, but if he noticed me, he ignored my attempts. Eventually, I approached him to discuss his poor customer service. To make a long story short, my friend's sandwich was refunded, and we went back to our house where we could get him something to eat. This was our first bad experience here; otherwise, we've always enjoyed our visits.

While the appearance of the clam strip was appealing, I asked three different people to try it, and everyone found it to be tough—so tough that it was nearly impossible to chew. It took around 2 to 3 minutes just to chew one piece. I definitely do not recommend this dish at this restaurant! The other food is excellent, but the 1/4 pound of fried clams cost over $12, and I ended up having to throw it away.

The cashier didn't suggest I combo my side with a drink to save some money charging me full price.Rita had a crab cake appetizer which was the smallest entree ever for$11.99.The side of red beans rice was maybe three bites at best very disappointing!. I was still hungry after my lunch so I had to order another side of Waffle fries to sustain my hunger. I had a blackened catfish sandwich which was very good so I can say nothing negative there.I spent over $40 for this sub par dining experience! Don't know that I will be back after in excess of over 50 visits during Covid era. The sides have shrunk and for $40 plus experience I was disappointed in this experience completely!
