Customer Reviews

"Amazing view. If the weather is conducive to sitting on the deck, do it! We went early in a Sunday evening before the crowds came. Virginia was our waitress and she was great: helpful, friendly and funny! She can sing, too! The local radio station was spitting out oldies and she was grooving! With Virginia's help, the four of us chose the seafood platter for TWO and there was more food than we could eat. Now we did get the bacon wrapped shrimp and calamari for appetizers but we were so stuffed and couldn't finish it! The fried oysters and scallops were my favorites. Our fish choice was grouper."

"We stopped by for lunch and it was pretty good. I got the fried grouper sandwich with fries and my wife got the fried shrimp with fried okra and cheese grits."

- Steve R.

"Absolutely phenomenal grouper topped with shrimp, scallop, and house-made Alfredo. Wonderful set of flavors. Also a lovely view of the ocean and pleasant service. Overall an amazing place to stop!"

"My FAVORITE spot to eat in the area. It's the attention to the small details. The place was clean, the porch sitting area is amazing, fully screened in, wasn't having to swat flies the entire meal. The staff were super attentive and friendly. The bacon wrapped shrimp appetizer, superb. We had the stuffed flounder and fried whole flounder for entrees, both absolutely amazing. Then for the small details, the tea was brewed strong and sweet, didn't taste like sulfur water like it does in most places, the sides were great, we had the cheese grits, they were great, and most people make grits as an afterthought, with no real love. Great, fresh baked potato, crispy, delicious fries. The BEST cocktail sauce I've had, you can tell it's home made, not too thick, spiced up just right. They also had a really nice looking salad bar, that we didn't have this visit. It was a delicious and amazing experience, can't wait to go back, it'll definitely be one of the spots we are sure to visit every time we are in the area."

"Great food, and all-around great staff. Had a friendly encounter with a local that gave us some other ideas for our vacation. I recommend the lunch specials from 11-2. Grouper was perfect. There is a lunch portion sampler that's perfect. Highly recommend."

"We got to the restaurant for an early lunch, about 11:20ish. They just opened up 20 minutes earlier and we were the first customers of the day. We saw the hostess after about 5 minutes or so, were seated and had our drinks a few minutes later. The menu was what drew us there! Great selection of seafood, salads, sandwiches, appetizers and platters of all sorts! I ordered the Sea Monster Po Boy that had grouper, shrimp and scallops, plus cheese grits. Got my seafood fried and was torn between grilled, blackened or fried. The sandwich was very good, but a bit pricey at $19! Don't recommend the grits as they seemed old and not fresh. If you are in Eastpoint Florida go the Red Pirates (ask for Connie) first, Lynn's Oyster Bar second, Paddy's Raw Bar across the bridge on St. George Island third and Family Coastal fourth. They get a 2 in service because I had to go to the front counter and get our servers attention away from her phone to get our bill. Sill Florida Man Approved!"

"Great food and huge portions! We sat out back on the water and enjoyed everything we got, went with a large group in town for vacation. Got appetizers of calamari, fried green tomatoes, fried pickles. All were great! The batter was light. Main courses were great as well. Between our group we had shrimp and grits, fried platters with shrimp, grouper and oysters and grilled shrimp/grouper and bacon wrapped stuffed shrimp. We'll definitely be back!"
