Our Guestbook
“ Gluten free fried seafood! With a huge variety of options! Loved being able to order multiple kinds of fried fish, as that's hard to come by, and pricing is super affordable. You can ask for a gluten free menu and I also asked for ranch (not a fan of other seafood sauces). There aren't a lot of veggies available so your plate will end up being pretty brown & fried, but it's delicious so worth it! Service was friendly and helpful, no frills inside but it was clean. ”
“ We LOVE this place. Great people! The young lady that took our "To-Go" order was pleasant and let us know they would bring our order out to us in our truck. Awesome food. Thank you! ”
“ Another Diners Drive Ins and Dives location visited! Cute and clean little place, friendly staff and excellent food. The hush puppies are the best I have ever had. I wasn't too surprised to learn they've been there since the 1990s, they are doing everything seafood right! ”
“ I haven't eaten here yet, but I just watched an episode of diners drive-ins and dives and your restaurant looks amazing. I'm originally from Portland Maine and your seafood sampler looked amazing. I really need to come down there sometime and try that I live in Clifton Park New York. ”
“ Fried pork chops were amazing. The shrimp burger was very good according to my wife. The hush puppies were also a hit served with the honey butter. Service was quick and attentive. The decor was cute. Definitely under the sea feel and it was a perfect match. ”
“ The food was absolutely delicious!! fresh and hot right out of the kitchen! Best seafood in n Wilmington. ”
“ I returned to this establishment because of the excellent cuisine. It was a primary destination for my trip to Wilmington. Our server was very pleasant. However, I did notice something peculiar; most of the staff seemed to have an aversion to seafood. This, of course, is not entirely surprising considering their daily exposure to it. Nevertheless, the food was delightful, and the service was impeccable. I would be delighted to return again. ”
“ Never disappoints. It's not fancy but don't judge a book by it's cover. The seafood sampler is huge more than enough for two. Seafood is always and service is always great. ”
“ A great spot for fresh seafood, prepared perfectly and served fast. It was recommended by a local for good seafood, and they were right. The portions are large and everything came out hot and crispy. The service was friendly and attentive. I'm definitely returning in the future. ”
