Super fun place to come for some bar food and drinks. I love the open seating concept. Just grab an open table! When you're ready to order, you place your order at the counter and you're given a buzzer. When your meal is ready you go pick it up, super simple. Their food is nice and delicious. They have a good variety of fried bar food: tater tots, fries and rings, and seafood, salads, sandwiches and burgers. They have some fun drinks and a full bar. Great for families and they offer inside and outside eating across from the beach. Service is friendly and efficient.

Had lunch there today, the food was great! Same great quality it's always been. The way everything is streamlined now, makes grabbing a delicious quick lunch is much more attainable than before. The way everything is so bright and welcoming was also a nice touch. I will be back for more.

This was a solid lunch. We came in and got seated right away. The service was good and our order was in pretty fast. The food was good, nothing crazy special. The burger was pretty generic. It was cooked well and was still juicy. The ceviche was bland and needed some additional flavor. It was nice sitting by the window, the view here is something special. Great location, good food, good service.
