“Seen better days”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed October 20, 2012

Apparently this is a "new" location. Parking very limited, right off Hwy 101. If you're looking for atmosphere, keep looking. Staff very pleasant, food was hot, but so-so. Prices were "big city" for what you got. Ladie's room down a hall, through the kitchen (don't look, or you'll wish you hadn't eaten there) & into the smokehouse store next door. Wouldn't go back.

“Love the Clam Chowder”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed October 15, 2012

I would come here again for the clam chowder. It was thick and yummy. A lot of the food is fried. Typical coastal restaurant choices for food. Service is excellent. Prices are average, but not the best bargain in town.

“Clam Chowder is great!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed September 29, 2012

In this area, everyone has fried fish. Not my favorite, but the chowder was one of the best. Nice place, homey, but a bit pricey for what they serve.

“Sea Food Option”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed September 25, 2012

I grew up going to the old restaurant that burned down. Since they moved the food doesn't seem quite the same and it's no longer right next to the beach.

I have talked with others and they feel the food has changed a bit as well. They have quite a bit seating and a good sized menu.
