"The food was good. The whole roasted snapper was on the salty side itself, served on black rice I swear was spiced with vegemite so more salt and the Bok Choy was quite simple, really needed something to salt the saltiness maybe pineapple salsa, something. The pasta of my wife's seafood was really nice sauce and the local shrimps are very sweet. The shrimps and grits were really delicious, but I wouldn't get it for a main, its like 5 shrimps and some grits for 32 mice and you'll leave hungry, we have it as an apse. I get it that the prices are inflated to be given for the location that is one and I am all about supporting local businesses by paying cash, but lol, there was something about paying inflated beach city prices then hit with a 4 percent card fee if it was me, I would only calculate what I calculate and leave, but that's just I think it's good to have the opportunity to pay less with cash. About all a nice meal, great atmosphere servers were nice, although our seemed not much about the court they did a nice job."

"Sadly we live on the coast and the seafood restaurants here are terrible! This place included! Everything's fried! All that doesn't fried costs an extra $3! Only one of us ordered a fried plate. The food hardly came warm and my shrimps were muddy not crispy. My father had shrimps and flounders. His flounder was dry, he had only 3 bites. None of us have finished our plates. Too expensive for quality! The only thing that was good was the hush puppies and the clam chowder. Although, the shells are so small mined and it could be thicker, but the taste was good. I gave him two stars because of this two foods and location. The interior could update and if at all, change the windows!! People go there for the view and the windows are nebulous and dirty. Our waitress was just fine. She was kind at the beginning, but I think when she realized that we all didn't finish our food and didn't want to go to boxes she got flustered or something idk. I do not recommend this place, but there is not really another place to eat at the end of the island. The Beach Shop Grill is here, but really expensive!! I wish the Dirty South was still there, or someone would take this building and make it a place good!!"

"This is a complicated review. Bear with me! A gourmet taco shop, in a local setting. sit out side have a drink, and let your kids play in eye shot. I spent 12 years in taco heaven (orange county CA) and completely appreciate the taco Menu. You will not be disappointed. Everything has attention to detail, unusual combinations that makes my taste buds happy. But don’t forget the live music and cornhole tournaments, and farmers market. My only criticism is that it hard to keep track of what is going on and when. If your in the Hampstead area and you miss this… you missed out."

"This restaurant is located on a golf course, so we initially expected the typical offerings like burgers and sandwiches with fries or chips. However, we were pleasantly surprised! Don’t miss the Prime Rib Thursdays for just $19.95, or explore the exciting full menu. Our party of four decided to go with Italian dishes. We started with two orders of mussels in white garlic sauce, and they were absolutely amazing—a big 5 stars. Then, we enjoyed the garden salad: one with shrimp and one without, both enormous and delectable, earning another 5 stars. One of our guests ordered the aubergine, which also deserved a solid 5 stars. We also had a generous portion of meatballs and pasta that was beautiful and earned a 5-star rating. Finally, the meatball boat, featuring three meatballs topped with sauce and cheese, was a protein-packed 5-star winner. Savannah was our server, and I must say she provided 5-star service. If you find yourself in the area, make sure to stop by and enjoy this fantastic dining experience."
