The Charboiled oysters are a favorite! They are so so good. The bread was also delicious. The shrimp loaf is a must. The crab dip is so so and the bbq shrimp is pretty good, I’ve had better. The staff was amazing, our waiter was amazing I believe his name was Paul.

We are big fans of 1776, and this was our first time at PA Kitchen. Another home run! Vibe and food were terrific, and Gabe’s super friendly and attentive service made our experience that much better. We’ll definitely be back soon.
