We had a family gathering planned in one of their gazebo's and it poured down rain the day of our get-together. They graciously moved our large party indoors and took great care of us; from the family matriarch down to the youngest babe in the group. We were especially enamored with our waitress, Kim. She anticipated our many needs and was right there every step of the way. Whether it was getting our hors d'oeuvres out first, refills, extra plates for sharing the huge portions, to-go boxes, and more; she took excellent care of us and amplified the joy of being together with family. 💝

Fantastic meal on a rainy night. Fish sandwich was twice as big as any recent fish meal. A single piece was thick, perfectly cooked and lightly breaded. Their tartar sauce is fantastic. Slaw and fries above average. Onion rings were tops. Outside table under a pavilion had a fan and was a nice venue. Would highly recommend the short drive to visit this icon. Thanks!
