In town on dinner, wanted fish tacos and didn't want to head to fancier seafood restaurants.Typical Hooter's, but very nice wait staff, clean store, and good food. I enjoyed the grilled mahi tacos, white wine (I know...yuck...), and seasoned wings. All prepared perfectly and delivered hot and tasty.As far as Hooter's go, this one is a good one. I'd recommend it.

I frequent Applebee's throughout the country a couple times a week.I've been to this Applebee's a few times. As with most Applebee's that I frequent the service was very good. The food is also excellent. One good thing about Applebee's they do change the menu every three months.

The very best crabs, and crab cakes ANYWHERE. Long known for this. Several local best of awards.
Reviewed By MyTravels033
Have gone a couple times, and have mixed feelings. The servers definitely treat the locals/regulars better than those they don't know. Seems to be a popular place for crabs. We have never had them, but have been told you need to reserve in advance. Also heard weekly shrimp special is good. Again, have not had. But, did order shrimp off the menu. They weren't cheap, but they were large and cooked perfectly. Found the crab and sausage soup to be good, but the cream of crab not so good (too much flour). Rock fish bites pretty good - decent portion size. Lots of folks like the crab cakes, but too much filler for us. No frills atmosphere. Very casual. Has a little bit of smell when you enter. It is a tavern, which means no underage kids allowed. Wish it were better, as we live nearby and is convenient.

On the good side, the service was prompt and food was quite good. I particularly liked my roast beef. My wife, an oenophile, didnât have high expectations, but she ordered a second glass of their house red, something she rarely does in this sort of establishment.While I recognize it is a sports bar (even though there are only six TVs), the noise level was very high, coming not from fans but from patrons whose favorite means of communications seemed to be a yell.

Our party of four stopped in for dinner on a Saturday evening. We were two couples, one of whom had been here several times before as they are somewhat local. We had a very brief wait, then were seated. The atmosphere is typically pub style and they do brew on site. Our waitress was quick with the menus which were on a clip board and the specials were prominent. As it is very close to St. Patrick's Day, they were offering Irish specialties and brews in addition to their regular menu. We ordered our beverages; a round of beer, coke, water, and a Sazerac cocktail. I had the Sazerac. It was quite good. At $8.00, it wasn't badly priced either. Our server took our dinner selections; Winter Squash Bisque, 3 orders of the Smoked Brisket Special, Onion Rings, and Bangers and Mash. The Bangers were part of the specialty menu for St. Paddy's Day. There were no complimentary bread or chips to snack while we waited or any salad course with dinner. Everything was a la carte. One person ordered the soup starter as they had had it before, knew what to expect and said it was delicious. Dinner arrived promptly. Everyone tucked in. My 2 bangers were nicely cooked, served on a bed of mashed potatoes with a beefy onion gravy and a helping of cooked carrots. The plate was decorated with a rosemary sprig and a pretty purple orchid. I enjoyed it immensely. My husband and our friends had well portioned sandwiches and fries and extra order of onion rings. No one had room for dessert or coffee. Our waitress was efficient and pleasant. The food was good. I just wish we lived closer.Thank you for your kind words. We're pleased that you had an enjoyable evening with us and hope we see you again next time you're in the area!

You never can tell about a historic restaurant. Some rely on the historic draw to get diners in the door and fall short on the food quality, but my wife and I were surprised how good the food was. We started with the wild mushroom flatbread. Their version of wild mushrooms is vastly different than mine. These were merely white mushrooms but were pretty good with the garlic oil and bread. My wife ordered the shepherds pie and boy were we glad we didn't order any other entrees. The pie was huge and delicious. The gravy was poured over a mound of rich beef and lots of mashed potatoes. The gravy tasted like the real-deal homemade overnight stock type of gravy. We couldn't quite finish the whole thing and still have room for dessert. Our waitress Shannon was friendly and efficient. Parking was free and easy, though I bet somedays it could be hard to find a parking spot nearby.The only thing we didn't like was they bring water to the table without asking if we wanted plastic straws. It would be nice to at least ask first since 500,000,000 straws thrown away each day in the US is way too much!We'd definitely like to give it another try in the fall.
