Wow. After reading all the great reviews on this place I'm shocked at how bad this really was. The lobster bisque was a bowl of country gravy (probably would have been good poured over a country fried steak). The shrimp gumbo was o.k....nothing to write home about. The salad was a decent portion, but the dressing was terrible (parmesan peppercorn...tasted like room temperature mayonnaise). I had the crab smothered shrimp for an entree (recommended by the waitress). Half the shrimp were burnt (the one's that weren't tasted and felt like they had been sitting for 3 days on the kitchen counter at room temperature) and the crab topping looked like a burnt greenish/yellow oily hash. Just awful. My wife had the crab smothered cat fish. The fish itself was ok, but again, that crab topping would probably not get eaten by a neighborhood canine. The french fries were a soggy, oily disaster. And what is up with the customers? This is the ugliest lot of south florida's unfinest I've ever seen under one roof. You are what you eat I suppose.....
If you can spell the word "sophistication" this is not the place for you (even if you're just looking for a casual night out). If your name is Zeek and your wife rides a Harley...this could be your dream come true.
Excellent food, dining enviroment, and service. You get what you pay for and more. You'll go back again and again and again.
i went last night, and truly enjoyed the experience. the food was very good, the service was excellent, and the drinks were great. it was my first time, and i am certain i will return. i had the fried catfish fillets, steak fries, cole slaw, crab legs, broiled shrimps and scallops, conch fritters, hush puppies, and fried mushrooms. i was not disappointed. the place was packed and parking was horrible, but it was worth the hassle once you got inside. if you plan to go as a group, carpool.

You are either a nasty, uneducated tourist with no sense of taste or propriety, or just a NASTY local snob who thinks his stuff doesn't draw flies. As far as ugly people, have YOU looked in a mirror lately or does your own reflection run away from you?
