This is a local spot with basic traditional options. Can't go wrong. I've passed by numerous times and never realized the Fredericksburg Rd side is the rear of restaurant and always appeared empty. Drove around the building and several vehicles were parked in the lot and side street. The restaurant is small and well cleaned. Order food at the counter first, then take a seat due to limited space. Staff kept up with clearing tables and prepped them for the next customers. My group tried the shrimp cocktail, which was tasty, generous portion of avocado slices, but appeared to be made with pre frozen shrimp. No problem. We also tried the fish sandwich and a #1 Daily Special with coleslaw, fries, and hush puppies. My only complaint is that the fried shrimp on my plate was not cleaned all the way and I found poop shoots intact in two. Yuck! I would come back again to try other fish options and sides.
We dined in for dinner here. You order your food 1st and then get a table. I could see where if it was busy that you may not get a table. I got the broiled garlic shrimp with coleslaw and carrot salad. I've never had carrot salad and I was interested in trying it. It was a creamy sweet salad with carrots of course, raisins and a few pineapple chunks. It was tasty. The shrimp was good too. The coleslaw was eh. I prefer a vinegar slaw vs the creamy kind they serve. My husband got the tilapia and shrimp fried. He said his was average. Parking is tight so go early. The inside is decorated like an aquarium on the walls. Whoever spray painted it is super talented.
We enjoy the seafood at this neighborhood place. It is family owned and has a cozy feeling. Food comes out quick and hot. Self service keeps costs down.
Love the fish, we've gone several times and never disappointed. Great.service !! Try the cheesecake you'll really enjoy
The beautiful blue building with the lighthouse painted on the side makes it easy to find. We visited for dinner on a Friday night. I ordered the #1 special fish & shrimp & my spouse had #2 fish and fries. Both were served hot & fresh. The shrimp was tender & tasty, the fish had a light, crisp breading. The coleslaw was creamy. Great prices & a good variety of seafood. Everything was very clean & the wall murals are beautiful.
The Mexican shrimp cóctel is excellent. The pineapple cheesecake is also outstanding. The owners are very friendly and accommodating as well. Great neighborhood restaurant.
First time visiting this establishment. Food was hot and fresh. Flavor was on point!!! Will most definitely be returning customers!
Order at the counter. They call your name when your order is ready. Good prices. Fish is good. French fries are good. You can order what type of bread you want.
