They were deLISH! Cool ambiance plus yummy steamed and raw seafood (Oysters, Shrimp, Clams, Crab Legs, Mussels), plus wings, salads, tacos, chicken tenders & burgers! The Blackened Shrimp Alfredo - fettucine, homemade alfredo, gulf shrimp and broccoli entree was soooo good!! The Shrimp Skillet - Sharkbite flavor (aka Bang Bang Shrimp) was awesome too!

Recently visited for my first time. The waitresses and bartenders were so sweet and attentive. The 7 crushes were . They sneak up on you so don't go crazy like I did :)

Great seafood. Great bar atmosphere. Authentic doesn't claim to be anything it's not and delivers. And best of all, reasonable prices. Can't wait to come back

Stopped for a quick lunch while visiting the city. Waitress was very friendly and gave us great recommendations for lunch. Service was fast, but not too fast, gave us time to enjoy the atmosphere. Food was excellent. We did not have the oysters (my wife will not eat them), but the fish sandwich and the crab balls were excellent. Will definitely stop by again when in Frederick. I hope they open one in Pittsburgh soon.

Absolutely fresh and delicious. The ahi tuna salad is huge... much larger than the photo suggests. And there were SIX portions of thick-sliced tuna... more than the four shown in the photo, which means that you get nice surprises as you work you way through it. Oyster were tasty and not a one of them was undersized. Glad I stopped here and will definitely come back.

Great bloody Mary’s and oysters. Ordered fries last minute and they make them to order. Crispy and came out perfect. Will come back again

This location is a must stop for me when I'm driving through. It's the kind of place that makes you feel right at home. Now on to the oysters. Amazing. I have been here over a dozen times and the oysters are fresh every time. I also recommend the tuna tacos. Trust me. You will be very pleased. Carol at the bar keeps this place running. She is amazing. Friday nights are surprisingly are a big party night. Did not expect this but had a great time.

This place is fantastic! It’s the best of both worlds. It offers a great atmosphere during the day for great food, great employees and great conversation. Kylee, one of the bartenders is always a vibrant personality and a fantastic bartender. At night it’s definitely the epitome of a fun time out. Definitely go check them out!
