Love their "lightly dusted scallops". Very casual atmosphere and good service. More

We were looking forward to this place our whole trip after seeing it was named the Best Seafood place in OC based on the Baltimore Sun. We tried to spend money with them twice during our stay. First, we stopped by at 8:30 and a gentleman outside told us closed. Actually it seemed like all places in OC closed then... More

Great outside venue for steamed crabs and all things seafood. Just ate here earlier in the week with my family. Laid back crab eating at outside pinic tables. Also great caryout. More

No loud music, no ghetto scene like other places in OC, just a mature, excellent place to... More

For a few years now, this has been a hidden gem in OC. On this past visit, I realized it's been discovered. I'm happy for the owners (who are so friendly), but so sad for myself. We had to park 2 blocks away and thank goodness we got there before 5:30. We sat down without a wait, but 20 minutes... More

Best crab joint 'at da' beach'. Located at the old Jim's Seafood on 42nd St., the current owners, Robert and Rosemary, have done a superb job of creating a warm, family friendly, fun atmosphere right on Coastal highway. (We only know R & R from eating there so often, but they feel like old friends.) We bought our beach house... More
