This locals bar and grill is right on the beach. You can get the best shrimp tacos, burgers, and hotdogs with a gourmet twist. Some local and imported beers. It is very causal in dress and people often bring dogs and kids right off the beach for a bite before going home. Good to stroll out and watch the sunset.

This is a wonderful beachfront restaurant with as friendly a staff you could ask for ! Soak up the sun while having a relaxing bit to eat, The menu isn't large but I have tried just about every item and all were fresh and cooked to perfection. This is one of the nicest spots on the Island. Hip- Hip!

Great spot right along the beach. The servers and bartenders are super friendly! Asked the bartenders for a specific shot that they weren't familiar with so they let me behind the bar to make it! Everything we had was good. Peel n eat shrimp, shrimp tacos, shrimp wrap, and mini burgers were all delicious.

This is a great place for lunch and drinks while you are enjoying the beach. Bartenders are friendly and service is quick. Fish tacos, burgers, and the chicken quesadillas are all good choices. I usually have a drink at the bar while they make my order and then walk back to the beach to eat it. Only negative is that they host a lot of weddings so are closed sometimes for those.

My family and I have often walked by this place and enjoyed the smell. It seems that the smell was the only decent thing about it. We had a long wait and poor service (only one refill over longer than an hour of dining). Three of us ordered burgers and two were very undercooked and borderline bloody, no apologies from the staff and barely corrected the problem. The fourth ordered a turkey panini that wasn't much better. I would not recommend this restaurant for the food or service, not bad for a bar to use while at the beach... read more

My wife and I had lunch there today! We are staying at the Marriott! It is a 2 minute walk and everything was great! We had peel and eat shrimp for an app and they had perfect seasoning and were fresh. For our meal we split the fish tacos which were excellent as well!! To top it all off the service was great!

The view is nice and that's really about it. They have a good thing going with their location, but they squander it on the food selection. I was so damn hot and wanted nothing more than a cold beer - it arrived warm. Hate that! It's a great place to grab a bite if you're already on the beach, but don't make the trip just for the restaurant.
