Small little mom and pop place. Food was out of this world. Their grits gone wild special was amazing. We will definitely be back and bring friends.

Had the Calabash Shrimp and it was delicious!! Had collard greens and cheese grits with it also. The collars were a little on the sweet side put they also had a good heat to them also. The grits were ok, I'm not a big grits fan, I only chose them because they were out of onion rings and I heard the lady behind me order them so I figured I'd try them!!

The best seafood I've had, hands down. 4 of us went and ordered quite a variety of meals and appetizers. Every single item was the best tasting version of whatever it was that all of us had. We make an annual trip to the area, and this will always be a stop on the list for the foreseeable future.
