Best known for their boardwalk fries (which are amazing!) but have expanded their menu with lots of other steamed and fried seafood options. They also recently opened a nice restaurant around the corner if you would rather sit and eat vs ordering togo.

Drinks & Nightlife
Have a great outdoor patio and Tiki bar with live music most nights. Right on the bay, great for sunsets. They Bar Menu is good but if you want more they have a full service restaurant but the atmosphere inside is good but not great. I would wait for table outside.
