This is a quaint place on the water that has the best crab cakes around the area. relaxing atmosphere. Great place to bring visitors for the views and food. Chicken wings are also very good.

This is a really good local restaurant with a fantastic waterfront view. Nothing fancy about it but great burgers good beer an great crab cakes. I must admit we have only ad those two items. Each time he burger has been cooked as requested. The staff is very friendly and the service very good. Thy do not rush you at... More

More like bad bar food than seafood. Crab dip appetizer was fishy. Our waitress claimed that lump crab meat is always fishy. No way! We grew up on the eastern shore so we know crab.

The food remains basically the same since day one but it is still good quality, good service and a nice view. The restaurant is a very nice option that not all visitor's know about since... More

We saw the marina from the bridge coming from Oak Island and came back here to find this restaurant, which we had never seen before. We came back later in the day and had dinner. We were here in the winter, so there were no mosquitoes or flies, but just a pleasant view of the inter-coastal waterway. The food was... More

My husband and I decided to treat ourselves to lunch before grocery shopping. We had dined at Dead End Saloon and Fish Factory Grill several times over the years, even entertaining friends. Many times we had enjoyed our meal, but had been a little let down on our previous visit. However, we decided to give it one more try, hoping... More
