Got the fried shrimp. Everyone's food was piping hot and delicious. Service was great and we sat riverside which was absolutely beautiful.

Food and service was very good! Great bar tender! Great riverside diner. Been there previously 2x. Fun to visit!

We have visited here twice from PA. While in town visiting our Marine son, we ran across this establishment several years ago. It was a fun place to dine and food was good. We recently were in town again and were in search of a place that was dog friendly. We were delighted this place came up! Again, third time was a charm. Great service, fun place to sit and talk with friends and family. Staff were incredibly accommodating to our bulldogs! Such a relief as we found our selves with a few hours to pass while we waited for our family member to join us. I truly can't say enough about this place, one of the best atmospheres if you are looking for a local, fun time. I am confident in saying it is not "The Ritz" as I am sure they are not trying to be. So put your bow ties / formal evening wear away and critique's away, it just an awesome place to hang out with good hearted, fun loving , down to earth people. David B.

I want to preface by saying- this is a review for a place in Jacksonville. So...not same expectations of neighboring cities with great views and foods. I have driven by this place for several years. I honestly didn't even know it was open cause it looks so run down. I think that may have been part of the charm I experienced today. I saw the menu and I wanted some seafood so I stopped. The place is absolutely ginormous. The inside eating area had a mix of high and low tops, a good size bar and an arcade to the right. There was a huge space to the left which looked like it could have big events but it didn't look like it was usable. I sat outside on the deck and it was a beautiful view of a run down marina. It was really cool, though. There is a talking parrot and you can walk on the docks. Beautiful trees and it made me feel like a Louisiana type vibe. There is also a gator. The menu is huge! I wanted a salad and some peel and eat shrimp. Prices are very reasonable. I enjoyed both of my items very much. Now that I know about this place, I will be back. It is nothing fancy at all, bland they said they have live music on weekends. A great place to feel like you are not in Jacksonville! The servers were also very friendly and helpful!

From driving by the outside, I didn't even know this place was open, except for the cars in the parking lot. It looks run down. Not even a legible sign, I don't think. However, like I said, there's always car there. My Mom was in town and wanted to eat somewhere on the water and with limited choices for that in Jacksonville, we gave it a try. I was surprised when I walked in. It does not look as bad on the inside. We asked to sit outside and the waitress warned us that the flies were particularly bad that evening because of the weather as of late, but we opted to try. I can deal with regular flies, but these were like mayflies and would bite you, so we did end up moving back inside. However, the sunset over the water was just gorgeous. The outside seating was cute and showed real promise. I'm sorry we didn't get to stay out there. The waitresses were so, so kind. From the moment we walked in until we left, we received great service. Service can totally make or or break an experience and they were great. The food was... fine. It's like cheap diner food, I would say. It didn't taste bad, but it's not gourmet of any sort. Although the inside is better than the outside, it could still use some TLC. This place is bubbling with promise and I wish it could be revitalized.

"Don't judge a book by its cover" .. Great service, great food. Beautiful view! The river, water, boats and locals, the greenery and the PAROT! How cool. Dog friendly! They even have a dog menu! They also offer cruises. Will return!
