Cute little spot for food. They are boyb, but do have alcohol available for purchase. We did not have a wait on a Friday night. All our food was delicious.
We have paid much more for smaller proportions and not as well prepared or cooked. Our meal was wonderful Crab legs were cooked perfectly. Duck was seasoned well. Steamed clams were perfect! Staff is knowledgeable and friendly, able to accommodate us quite well.
My spouse had the fish sandwich, I had the Marry Me Chicken. Local wines and a great atmosphere. First time here and it's now part of our top three restaurants in town. Plenty of free parking and very affordable, a meal with adult beverages went off at $30 a person. Our server Lana was as sweet as peach pie. Speaking of peaches, Lisa got a peach old fashioned made with fresh local peaches. WOW! it was good.
This is our second time in and it was very good. I'm confused why their overall rating is on the lower side. The food is fantastic!!! We were there for dinner last year on our trip to Gettysburg and stopped in for lunch this year. The food is always prepared exactly how we requested. Server was friendly, the place seems clean. Great location. We really like it here and will be back next time in town.
This place is a sleeper. Did not come up on any recommended lists but you should not miss it! Also dog friendly on the deck/outside area. The name of the restaurant is honestly a little off putting - they should consider changing it. But every single item we ate was absolutely delicious, even the salad and warm bread (included with entrees). My husband had a bone in pork chop and I had the crab cake entree. Crab cake was one the best I have ever had and the pork chop so good my husband picked it up and tried to eat the remaining meat off the bone. The crab cake came with Brussels sprouts that were so good. Our server was terrific, friendly and attentive. Definitely recommend this restaurant!
We were very happy with our visit here . The food was great . One of the best burgers I ever had,my girlfriend loved the chicken/avocado wrap and there amazing chocolate cake. I had cream of crab soup and it was the best I ever had for real. Great service by Sarah.
