Service was excellent! Much better than the experience I had at the Wilmington location last year. Tried the wings for the 1st time and they were amazing! My steamed oysters were small but I guess that's out of their control. Overall. I enjoyed my meal and the service I received.

The food was good. Not great! We dined outside and a fly was in our french fries, waiters response was well your outside it happens. Had to ask for another serving. Well aware that it can happen but where is the courtesy. Very non-chalant attitude!!! Then looked up to see a 92.5 grade I wonder why. Thank God for coverage.

Loved it! This place is an hidden gem. Great menu, the oysters was very fresh. It felt like I was at the Outer Banks

Restaurant looks great, food was good and staff was nice. Food was a tad bit salty but I would recommend this place if anyone is looking for an good chill spot.

Great place for seafood. This was a first visit and won't be our last. Drive by this place all the time and finally stopped. Only thing that would make it better is if they got some size small t-shirts in the coral color. I wanted to buy one but they didn't have any.

We are regulars at the Durham, locations. We absolutely love this place. The raw oysters are always amazing. We love there drinks too. I read alot of post about the lobster roll being so good.... but I have to say I it tonight and it was very bland. I was very dissatisfied. This will not detour us from coming back because everything else has been amazing.

Amazing! Tastes like the coast of NC seafood in the Bull City. Jalapeno Grilled Oysters smashed!. The fried shrimp is DEVINE! Even the french fries were good. Tarter and cocktail sauces taste homemade and and a great pop to my food. A variety of hotsauces and condiments for multiple palates. Our waitress Cheryl was one of the BEST wait staff I have encountered ANYWHERE PERIOD!

First time there was phenomenal! Second time there, 6 weeks later, this waiter says,"I remember you!" Yes, he did remember us, even to the drinks! Food, service, drinks...always exceptional.

Hidden kids menu! Good wings but breaded. Wife loved the crab legs or it's been too long. ;)

Great service. Nice atmosphere and some really good seafood. I'm a seafood lover, I've had their raw oysters, calamari, fried shrimp and french fries. All of them are excellent and I'm a returning customer. They usually have some drink specials and food specials.

My family went there for dinner. The food was exceptional and the service was great. My wife is a big oyster fan and she said they were some of the best she's had. Can't wait to go back!

How did I not know about this place?!? Monday through Thursday $1 raw oysters?! Are you kidding me? Appetizer specials, draft beer, and delicious shellfish? Friendly service, folksy atmosphere, good food? Seriously, what more can I ask for? The only thing I can complain about is that I haven't come here before. I assure you I will come here again.

First of all, being from the northeast, I'm picky about my seafood, especially lobster rolls. The lobster roll here was phenomenal. Bread was fresh, lightly toasted and buttery. And there wasnt too much of it. Tons of lobster, big chunks even, no filler, light seasoning and not overly wet and full of mayo. Sooooo good. Fries were super fresh and hot. Also had some clams on the half shell that were fresh, perfectly chilled and went great with their horseradish. This may be my new favorite restaurant in the triangle! Atmosphere is super laid back and the decor is cute. Perfect for date night.

Went on a Saturday night and it wasn't packed surprisingly...Food was amazing, the mixed drinks were great. I recommend the Painkiller! Our server was nice and attentive. Fried oysters were great, the seafood boil was great with just enough seasoning!
