if you're looking for fish fried in cornmeal this is the place. The customer service is always a delight and staff is very friendly at pickup.

Good food, great service, for a good price and the best hush puppies anywhere around. It's my go to for seafood.

We've been for the past two weeks and I had the fried oysters both times. They are perfect--lightly breaded and lightly fried so you can taste the oyster. My husband had the popcorn shrimp and scallops and the flounder filet. It was all so good. The place is packed but the service is great. And if that isn't perfect enough, the health score is 100!

A popular restaurant. Menu service. Seafood and ribeye is their specialty. There all you can eat flounder is the best I've ever eaten. The ribeye steak is large and you can almost cut with a fork service is spectacular. Albemarle's jewel.
