Just walk thru and go outside! NO WAIT! Unless it’s full, the outside seating is best for larger groups. Bar is awesome for 2-3 people. The staff is always fantastic and friendly. Been here multiple times and is always a go to. This is not an Applebees or chain atmosphere. If you want that, stay away. It’s way better. Thanks Bonzer, great as always!

this place is awesome. the beach vibes are off the charts and i love it! i got a mango mocktail and it was really good, but it kinda took a while which is reasonable because it was pretty busy. i got the queso steak tacos which have this unexplainable flavor in the seasoning which i think everyone should try. overall, the service food and atmosphere is great. like this post and follow me to take down dan deibler. (just kidding he’s a good guy but i need to have more followers than him)
