The combination of a relaxed vibe, good food, and engaging staff consistently draws repeat visits and favorable word-of-mouth.
Great food drinks and people watching. Tucked away in a light industrial park all by itself. Great burgers - fish chips - shrimp chips - clam chowder - chili - Poppers were amazing a must order. Quentin took great care of us.
Great food, great service. Recommend the macaroni and cheese. Bar seating or table seating is available, but entry is 21. My only issue is the bathrooms are a bit funky and could use a remodel. But that’s minor.
Just turned 21 so i really appreciate friendly bar vibes, the two bartenders/hostesses were very sweet and were even interested in the card tricks my girlfriend had been practicing. We went there for drinks and a bite and a chill place to play table games. The drinks were yummy and strong, I got a malibupineapple(panicked) and a sex on the beach(first time!), my friend got two dark and stormy(they were strong!). I was blown away by their nachos(with shredded cheese!!!) very good. We got shrimp and chips (bomb and crispy). We also got fried oysters cause we were feeling guts. These oysters were huge! And texturally not for us.. a table pass.
I kept looking for new places to eat and this spot kept popping up with great reviews so we went and yes it's a bar but there are tables away from the bar and the bartenders are pretty attentive to all the customers even the table top ones. Their jalapeño poppers are the best just look at that photo! Not the tiny store bought box kind (which I still eat). Battered mushrooms were also good. Everything we've had from there has been great, spicy chicken quesadilla, fire cracker shrimp, smoked beef brisket sandwich. They have TV's for sports games, shuffle board and a pool table. A great find for sure.
You guys! We needed Linner before our 2 hour drive to Whitethorn, having trouble picking a place I was like let’s just go here.Such a great idea. I feel like this is a locals hang. Maddie was great, friendly and quick.Calamari was crispy, the sauce was bomb!Fish & Chips- they did the classic perfectly. The sweet potato tots are a sleeper here, I feel like they are made in house and dear lord so good.Shrimp po-boy - hubs really like it. Big ole battered prawns on a soft toasty bun. Sweet potato fries were perfect.We both had their honey mustard to dip our fries and tots in. Dang yall! I think they may home make all their sauces including tarter and ranch.Def pop in here!
Great food and friendly staff. Nothing like a plate of deep fried Oreos to set you straight. Firecracker shrimp are the best! Great selection of beers on tap. Clam chowder is amazing as well.
Went for food, good service, friendly staff, food wasn't just Cisco crap actually cooked there. Interior was good temp, window seating, parking was good for lunch. Price was right . Overall 5 / 5
I tried this place out on a local lady's recommendation. The bar area was exactly that - a bar, but in the back are tables and a shuffleboard (free to play! Yay!) I had the fish and chips (fresh and fried just right, came with a delicious cocktail sauce, tartar sauce and ranch dressing), Caesar salad (big slices of parm in there), and huge Firecracker shrimp (with an amazing crust and fresh, fruity salsa). The servers were attentive and sweet. The prices were very reasonable. I'd definitely go here again.
