However, from an employment perspective, it is best to stay away. The management is chaotic at best, and they allow harassment and bullying in the workplace. Several employees have left due to mistreatment, and the management continues to ignore the issue and show favoritism. I would not recommend working there, with a rating of 1 out of 10.

Awesome food. The cream of crab is one of the best I've ever had. The $10 crab cake special with hand cut fry's is awesome. Great prices, great good. read more Awesome food.

The bacon, egg, and cheese on Texas toast is one of the best breakfast sandwiches I have had in a while. The coffee is good, the place is clean, and the people are friendly. Surprisingly, the Dunkin' Donuts down the road has a long line that wraps around the store twice. Overall, a great spot for a delicious breakfast.

My order was a small roast beef sub with lettuce, tomato, mayo and an order of their fries. The roast beef was standard deli roast beef, not bad but didn'tstand out against others I've had. Toppings seemed pretty fresh. The bread was a little stiff, not as tough as really stalebread, but didn't exactly seem like it was very fresh either. There was virtually no sign of any mayo on the sub. And that's notan exaggeration. The sub was just average compared to other restaurants in the area and to be honest it was a bit below averagecompared to most places I've eaten subs. The fries were way above average. On the menu they indicate these are boardwalk stylefries and they are spot on. Forgot to ask for vinegar but that's on me, and even missing that sprinkle of malt vinegar didn'tdiminish the fries. They were that good. The prices were reasonable. At first glance the fries appeared a bit pricey, but asmall is a sizeable amount and for 4.50 I feel like you are definitely getting your money's worth. Price for the sub was alsoreasonable considering the size. I believe it was 7 for the small, and in my opinion it's the perfect price for the size sub youget. I've heard good things about their breakfast so I'm hoping to try them out at some point and adjust this review based onthat experience along with this one.

Just awful! I don't know who in the worldwould give this place more than 2.
