Charming staff, live music & great food! We were all really happy with our meals - my husband especially enjoyed the hush puppies, my ribs were delicious, the chicken pot pie was yummy and comforting. Oh & don't miss the banana pudding! It was perfect!

The food was absolutely fantastic! The "Dam" shrimp was the best fried shrimp i have ever had. Our kid ordered the buffalo chicken sandwich, while my spouse and I ordered the steak and ribeye sandwiches. All 3 sandwiches were incredible and the brussel sprouts were next level delicious. Wish we lived closer to eat here more often!

We have dined in this restaurant that is a favorite for the locals for several times. Every time we drive by this place the parking lot is almost always full. We have been very pleased with the consistent high quality of food and reasonableness of prices. In addition, service has also been very welcoming. Highly recommend it!!

We finally went to check out this restaurant and let me tell you…….I ordered the fried chicken sandwich and my husband ordered the buffalo chicken sandwich. The chicken was so big that the bun couldn’t cover it all. It was the best chicken sandwich I had ever had. The chicken was so tasty and juicy. My husband really liked his sandwich also. They open at 11:00am and if you plan on going there for lunch I advise you get there at 11:00am. The place fills up fast. We got there at 11:00 and had lunch and when we left, there was no parking anywhere. A car was waiting for us to leave so they could park. Love this place. We will definitely will be going back.

I have lived on the Outer Banks for 10 years, and I know what good seafood tastes like. This restaurant has world-class seafood! I was very surprised by how good EVERYTHING was. I highly recommend the food here.

We love eating here! The staff is great! The food is really good! They always have daily specials and extra sides that are all delicious! They have really good hush puppies, potato wedges, and fried squash! One of our favorite places in Wilkes!
