“ Amazing food! Fish and chips was outstanding. Huge pieces of cod; great value for price. Calm And welcoming atmosphere and everyone working when we visiting was so kind and helpful. Can’t wait to visit the area again to eat here again! Wanna try the ice cream! ”
“ This place is legit! I dont say that word often but I will here. So my boyfriend and I came in to get something small to eat. I got ice cream and he got a blt. I asked for a single scoop in a cup. It took a little while to get our order. The lady comes out with my ice cream and not only did I get a single scoop I got a double scoop. It was like she knew I had a sweet tooth lol. Thank you for curing my sweet tooth! ”
“ Amazing handmade burgers. The Grizzly Burger feels like a secret boss in a video game, took a while to conquer it. Tasty waffle fries and fry sauce too. Will have to try the shakes n ice cream next time. ”
“ I am always looking for a good burger and this place did not disappoint. The food was fantastic. In looking at the other reviews before going, I read that the food can take awhile to come out. This was true, BUT fresh food takes time to make and this was worth the wait. I also read that the place is pricey. That was also true, BUT the quality of the product, along with making it fresh to order (hot), again, makes it worth it. Other things that made this place nice was the nice employees. She was very patient with us in trying to decide what to have since we have never been. They also have a nice outdoor, covered area, behind the restaurant to eat outside in. Opposite of the road traffic. The restaurant appeared clean. It was also nice that you could clearly watch your order being prepared behind the counter. Nice bonus. Fresh, smashed burger patties. Not frozen! The cheese sticks passed the "stretch test" and had a great breading. They do not have marinara, and that would be an added bonus if so. The homemade fries were great! A large was PLENTY for two people who can devour this kind of stuff. The dipping sauces are KEY for me. Tarter sauce was excellent. Ranch, good, but could be a bit more better tasting. I grew up on Uncle Dan's so I am a bit of a snob on my ranch! LOL I am not a big fry sauce guy in general but the other person with me thought it was great! Nice dipping cups that were full. Our pictures show "The Big Daddy", the obvious one but not with the normal included veggies, and the "Woods Burger", the homemade fries and the cheese sticks. Great experience overall and we will be back. ”
“ WORTH. EVERY. PENNY. So delicious! We came here on New Years. Ordered 2 double cheeseburgers, bacon and blue and the kids corn dog. We had onion rings, hand cut fries, waffle fries and crinkle fries. Fry sauce is great! Every burger was absolutely delicious! I would definitely splurge for the hand cut fries or the onion rings. They were far superior to the other two. Service was great! The man who took order made sure to point out the specials and the man who delivered our food was very friendly! I will definitely be making this a permanent stop every time we visit the ocean! See you soon! ”
