    Worst gator and oysters I've ever had. Gator was so tough couldn't even chew it. Oysters were too charred.

    Not worth it. The atmosphere is nice and it has a really nice beer garden. The drinks are okay but the food left a lot to be desired.

    The setting and service was amazing. The food itself wasn’t really what I expected but I am open to coming back and trying new things.

    We were VERY disappointed with the food! Everything was heavily salted and drowning in sauce that was also overly salted. The worse ribeye I have ever had in my life. Meat was as very chewy and not tender even though the cook was medium rare. The waitress was very nice and attentive. When leaving we noticed another table were food was left on plates! Clearly people were not happy with food either.
