Pretty good. Great staff. Had the fish and shrimp PoBoy...it was good! Fried pickles were quite delightful! Chocolate eruption desert was so delicious! Not too chocolatey and rich cheesecake! Three distinctive layers of heaven! Ummmummm

Found a shard of sharp glass the size of a dime in my fish tacos. Our server spent 10-15 minutes on a slow Monday (07/29) trying to find the manager to remedy the situation. The only reason I am not leaving 1 star review is because the food was good, and our server was really nice and professional.
My girlfriend ordered the chicken nachos and I ordered the fish tacos. After taking my first bite I noticed something very hard and sharp in my mouth, only to discover a large shard of glass. I was very lucky to have not cut anything in my mouth or to have not swallowed it. Not sure why there was even any glass in the kitchen. After serving 10 years in restaurants, I know kitchen prep should only have metal or plastic containers for that reason. Pretty careless on prep or kitchen side to have not deep cleaned or tossed any containers that could have been compromised by a glass-breaking accident. That could have been fatal if I swallowed it.
I count this as a blessing, and the restaurant should too that nothing worse happened. I think back of the house staff could take this as an opportunity to properly retrain staff and probably not stock any glass in the kitchen and prep areas.
To be honest, I would have wanted to go back, but this incident would shake up anyone. -

This place is absolutely delicious , they also have great customer service! There's plenty of free parking! It's an ocean view restaurant and bar, there's actually 2 adult bars , and the kid friendly bar with Restaurant. It's pretty neat because once you enter it they see you with kids they guide you to the correct place. Once you enter the restaurant part of it you take a few steps, you look at the menu and make like to order after you order you find a chair and we were able to get an ocean view seat. We went on a Tuesday evening around 6pm and it was packed but not overwhelming. There's plenty of seating and a lot of staff working.
They have a huge drink selection they look awesome! They also have delicious shakes for kids and adults my kids had the Nutella and Oreo shakes and you can upgrade to the kids menu for $2.99 more. We also ordered a sampler it literally had wings, onion rings , fried pickles, mozzarella sticks andbacon wrapped fried shrimp ! It was amazing ! Shrimp cocktail was also sooo good. And the sweet and spicy burger was unbelievably delicious ! Literally mouthwatering perfection it had bacon bits and fried jalapeños with cheese ! So good and huge!
Overall, clean crowded place. Excellent customer service and fast as well! It does get packed as soon as we were leaving we saw a huge line just to order. Went at the right time. You can call ahead just to ask what the wait time is. -

So first off, who and how in the H.E.double hockey sticks...?
Ok. So... After having the "gawd dang, $18 for some dang fish n chips" moment, we decided to go to the Rum Shack. Ole boy/slash "Skinny Boi, was quick to take that menu back. I was struggling trying to read that in the dark.
"Now, mind you, we are not from these parts, therefore we had to feel the joint out. The seat I wanted to sit in was dirty as*.The waitress seemed a little taken back cause we didn't have an open tab. I'm like can I see if I like the dang drink first, lil bih (I was thinking the last part to myself).
This place gets 3 stars because the Mango Strawberry Mojito was gooood. The Reggae/Dancehall music was nice, I had a hard time sitting down I wanted to dutty wine so bad. -

Awesome place to get a drink and sit outside. Happy Hour is worth going to, they have some good food and the drinks. Make it one of your stops when on the sea wall
