We decided to brave the crowds for father's day and we weren't disappointed. Our party got several pounds of crab legs and they were some of the best we've had in years (we eat them more often than most, I'd say) and the fries are always yummy. We sat near the front so we saw dozens of interactions with guests and the hosts, cashiers and servers and everyone was unfailingly polite and friendly. The manager checked on us and when he walked away, I asked my husband how they knew each other because they seemed so familiar. I assume he was related to the original owner because the character and hominess hasn't changed a bit since I used to come here as a child. If im right, dad would be very proud of how you treated your guests today. Thanks again for a great meal.

I have nothing but great things to say about this place! The decor was great, and there was so much to see! Old flags, wheels from boats, and all sorts of interesting forms of decor you would see in a maritime area! The service was top notch, and incredibly fast. The server was very knowledgeable of the menue and was able to answer and questions with ease. The food was cooked perfectly as well and incredibly fast. The fish was juicy and flaky, the fries hot, and fresh cut, and the coleslaw was to die for. It was the perfect place for a date, and I plan to go back with friends!

If you're looking for a top-notch seafood experience, look no further! This restaurant is very cozy and welcoming. They feature local Lake Erie perch and Walleye dinners, which are amazing! The service was quick and very attentive. You can feel the love in every dish. The owner was walking around, making sure that everyone was taken care of. A truly wonderful experience in Lake County! Believe the hype!

I’ve lived here for 3 years now, and I’m genuinely upset I haven’t been here until today. From walking into the door, to us leaving I was nothing but impressed. I got the smaller appetites Yellow Perch dinner, with fries & a side salad substituted for the coleslaw. The salad was delicious & fresh (who knew kale & poppyseed dressing went so well together?). My husband got the Fisherman’s Platter because he didn’t know what to expect for portion size. It was enormous. He said everything was delicious, and the Whitefish was so buttery. 10/10 with everything. The bread was so soft & fresh too. The owner came around and introduced himself, and we had nothing but raving reviews. Staff was so friendly!

We usually go across the street for crab legs but decided to give it a try. It was excellent. My only complaint is I wish they brought out the crab legs pins by pound so they don’t get cold so quickly. But everything was good, fast and our waitress Mackenzie was very nice. Will definitely be back!

First time visit and the atmosphere inside was complemented by the salty sideways rain outside. I can recommend the Crab cake sandwiches and a side of clam chowder.

I’ve loved this place for years! They serve the butter for crab legs over a tea light , the bread is delicious, french fries are always amazing, ranch is on point. Today, the crab legs were a bit soft and difficult to crack. It was very busy, I’m assuming for Lent, so the atmosphere was a bit chaotic but regardless I will support this place forever.

This place has great food, just slightly under-staffed, but the servers have a great demeanor. You can even hop in off the boat if you like. You can eat in or out, and it's got a lot of charm. Great place to take visitors for some truly great seafood, or awesome steak, and you don't have to blow the budget. As far as pricing, very in line with what you'd expect for seafood, even better when they run specials. We very often just decide to go on a whim whenever someone brings up lobster or crab at home, yet to be disappointed!! I'd highly recommend this to anyone, friend or otherwise!
