Nice little King George, Virginia gem on the Potomac. Food is quite good, not a top notch seafood place, but very respectable. Servers are always friendly and the atmosphere is great. Tons of outdoor seating so when the weather is nice, it's a great place to be. There is even an outdoor bar. Live music is the norm when the weather is nice.

My mom and I came out in the 4th of July for crabs, appetizers, and relaxation hg the water. We wanted to stay for the live music but it got too hot so we had to leave. The food was great, highly recommend the bang bang shrimp. The crabs were a fun experience but slightly high for the effort and amount of crab you get in each soft shell. They were $35 for a dozen. The waitresses and staff were all super nice and made sure to check on us for all our needs. Overall, would come back but might come in the spring of end of summer when it's not quite as hot outside as there was very little breeze.

My hubby and I came here the other day since it was nice outside and we wanted to see a beach. We drove 1.5 hours to get here and we had a fantastic time. Our server was great and super friendly. We got the steamed shrimp, hushpuppies and the smoked whiskey wings (a must get) and everything was very good. The prices are very reasonable and the view from the deck is great. The outdoor area was spread out so we were comfortable during this time of socially distancing.
We will definitely be back!

Good friend and I were looking forward to coming on Sunday morning. She ordered crab dip and I ordered crab soup to start. The crab soup was not even hot wasn't even room temperature It was cold I sent it back to warm it up very runny crab soup and the crab dip was nothing to brag about. Then I ordered the fried shrimp which was okay but the vegetables when they brought them out were very cold and I had given up at this time and told the waitress no I'll just take it home and eat it up. My friend ordered the stuff shrimp which was very pricey. She told me to try some of the stuffed crab It tasted like it was made with lemon juice. Very disappointed thought this place would have better food than that. It's going to take my sister there but now they've lost two customers which I'm sure doesn't matter. Bought everything back and gave it to my sister and she said the same thing about the crab soup It was bland and never had crab soup was that runny It was like drinking water. So therefore next time we want good seafood we'll go over the bridge to Maryland or go to Port Royal. At one point was looking for the waitress she was nowhere to be found and I even made a statement to my friend I wonder she's coming back and it's not like they were busy It was just us and a gentleman sitting outside. Sorry I would not recommend this place

08/26/2023: Another very good dinner at a very nice relaxed island-atmosphere restaurant. Been here in between these posts, but i guess i am getting old and didn't always post...
Every part of the experience was outstanding with only one exception in that i had ordered the blackened cod, which wasn't apparently "blackened" (seared) in any sense, other than it was spiced. When i mentioned this to our waitress, another person came back and advised that this was how THEY do blackened cod, that it was strictly a spice matter. This isn't consistent with the definitions of the cooking of the fish that i subsequently looked up on internet searches (as i was questioning my sanity), and as our dinners were getting cold, it wasn't worth arguing over. Kind of like ordering a Coke, being served an iced tea, and then being told that this is what they call Coke.
I will say that "their version" was still delicious, as was my wife's shrimp and scallops, and we do look forward to visiting again, just posting a word of warning to anyone expecting "blackened" to mean that which it means to the rest of the world expecting searing. Nonetheless, both texture and flavor were outstanding, just not what i had my heart set on.
Oh - and though the entertainment is nice, a little flashy laser light show is more appropriate for a disco, not an "Jimmy Buffet island atmosphere bar", imho...
2022: First time visiting this local hangout, for a couple hours we were on vacation! I had blackened cod, my wife had shrimp, both were excellent. Wish i noted the name of the guitarist, he was excellent. And the scenery, what can i say but excellent! Will be going back without a doubt!
