This establishment is awesome. Food is excellent, service is professional, management is second to none and the view is exceptional! I’ve been a customer since I was a teenager and now into my 50s I come back to the area and eat there several times each August when on vacation.

“Better than expected!"
Was looking for something near to our home base & this was within walking distance. Ordered to go~ burgers, slaw, pork were standard, everyday fare; however, the Clam Chowder, Lobster Rolls, & Steamed Clams were very good! We got a lot of food for the price. Would recommend the seafood menue over regular menue.
