“ My daughter and I ate here and had the fresh tuna with coleslaw. It was outstanding. I also had the New England clam chowder soup, very tasty. My daughter had a specialty beverage and really enjoyed it. The waitress was lovely and helpful. The restaurant itself has a nice feel to be there. ”
“ Ever since we found this little gem of a place we have driven out of the way a few times just to eat here when in South Jersey. The food hasn't disappointed us yet! Friendly staff, good prices & delicious food! ”
“ While the menu is not the same as I remember as a kid, the food we got this week was good. The fried shrimp with Rangoon was good as was the sauce (pictured) - from specials menu. The Cole slaw is the same as always - good. The fries were also seemingly hand pulled and good/big. Crab cake is not like what you get in MD but that's anywhere around here. Very nice server who was all alone but fun. Charged us for an extra slaw but for $3 didn't say anything. Glad this place is still around. ”
