"It was our first time there and we throughly enjoyed everything about it.. arrived late afternoon and ate great food and was invited to stay for the wonderful band. We had fried shrimp and fried fish. Everyone was welcoming and we wish we could've stayed longer.. and if love to get a black red and white necklace from the jewelry maker. We will be back!"

"When you think the map is taking you the wrong direction, it's not just trust me! This little hole in the wall next to the boat ramp is a local heaven and just what the vacationing soul needs! Order a bucket of beer and some bourbon balls with some fries mushrooms and let the music take you to your happy place. Once you're comfortable in the land of manana I recommend one of the fried fish combos! The cornbread batter is perfectly crispy and well seasoned as it covers a juicy, flaky filet of fish. Complimented by hush puppies that'll have you howling, and fries seasoned just right. Cool down with their coleslaw and let your cares float off into the bay!"

"Neighborhood dive, with surprisingly good food! Beer, burgers, shrimp and more. They're 20 feet from the launch ramp for Moses Lake. Bring your fresh caught fish here, they'll clean and cook it any way you want! Well worth finding this place, and the $5 launch ramp next door!"

"This is a popular coastal bar and grill. There was a party of 20 or so next to us, but somehow the active waitress kept everyone happy. She's busy! . I enjoyed the fried bologna sandwich quite a lot. The tots were impressive. The beer was kept on ice so it was excellent. . We had a great experience! . Note: order at your table and pay at the cashier"

"Love love love this place! Definitely a hidden gem that I didn't know anything about. If you are a first timer and going on an evening and want to sit outside, read this so you know how the place runs. This was the only part that was confusing for us. Go up to the bar and ask for a menu, order your food with them. They will ask if you're sitting indoors or outdoors and will bring the food to you. The food was delicious (try the Voodoo Fries) and the atmosphere was cool. Loved the music and the fun, friendly environment. It almost felt like I was at a friend's big birthday party in their backyard. If you haven't been here, it's worth a try!"

- Ashley R.

"Great local beer joint that serves up awesome food. I had the stuffed chicken Sherry had the fish and shrimp basket. The menu is very straightforward they even have chili dogs on the menu. The staff are personable. The crowd is friendly and it's on the water."
