You know you are going to have oysters, or shrimp, or crab legs as that is all they offer, but that is all they need! Of course the side order of fresh wheel cheese too. The seafood is always fresh and they know how to cook it to perfection. Fun to sit at the bar and watch them shuck the oysters right in front of you. This place is an original and not to be missed if you are in the area. Sometimes on Fridays they have live music. I can't say enough good things about this place other than it is small so get there early to avoid a wait. But if there is a line, WAIT you won't be sorry you did. less

This is a great place. There are only 4 things on the menu: oysters (steamed or raw), shrimp (steamed with or without Old Bay Seasoning), Crab Legs and Cheese.The oysters are very fresh and delicious, served by the peck and half peck. The shrimp is steamed to perfection and are served with a great cocktail sauce. The Cheese is sharp cheddar. I'm not sure how cheese ties in with fresh shrimp and oysters, but it shure tasted good after being carved off a huge wheel. Not much to look at, but great food. If you leave hungry, it's your own fault. less
