I met some family visiting from out of state for dinner at this restaurant, and we all loved our meals. We ordered the lobster roll, a deep-fried hot dog, and chicken tenders. What really impressed me was how dog-friendly this place is; it might be one of the most accommodating spots for dogs I've ever been to. I brought my 11-year-old pup along, and they served her a drink before I even had mine! I swear every employee stopped by to see her and give her some love. She received so many treats and was treated like royalty! The service was excellent, and everyone was incredibly friendly. This is a fantastic place to enjoy a meal with friends—both human and furry!

We decided to take a detour and stumbled upon this restaurant. They have outdoor seating, and the interior definitely has a beachy vibe. We ordered conch fritters, chicken wings, and the BEST KEY LIME COLADA! The key lime colada was delicious and refreshing. The conch fritters were amazing and well-seasoned. The chicken wings were cooked perfectly, crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, plus they were a good size. Our waitress was friendly and provided excellent recommendations. We will definitely be coming back!

The boom boom shrimp appetizer is fantastic, and the deep-fried hot dog is massive! The drinks and service were outstanding, and the decor was quite attractive. Although parking is limited, it's just a short walk from the Village.

Fast service about a block away from the main strip so finding parking was very easy. We had a lobster roll and a blackened fish sandwich both brought to our table in under 10 minutes. Recommend for anyone who needs a break from the main beach traffic
