The sweet potato fries were excellent as well. Overall, it was a satisfying dining experience. The service was good too. I found it to be a bit pricey, but since we don't eat out often, we were fine with it.

I see some people are complaining about service but ours has always been really good or at least we get everything we need in a timely manner. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

Owner's daughter has a horrible attitude and treats customers badly, so hope you don't run into her! Crabs were ok but small- definitely not the best around when there are so many other options nearby.

They are excellent..best crabs around. They also have other foods, such as crab cakes, oysters, french fries, corn on the cob, etc. Not sure who the other reviewers got as their waiter/waitress, but I have always gotten good service from Dianne and a young guy but I don't know his name. There is also a blonde named Kitten who has been there for many years who is good. The owners, Mr. Mrs. Copsey, are usually there and ready to chat with you. Since this restaurant is on the water, some people come in their boat to eat because there is a pier they can use.

Telling everyone I know to stay away from this place. The worst service ever! The waitress and bartender were blatantly rude. read more Telling everyone I know to stay away from this place. The worst service ever! The waitress and bartender were blatantly rude.
