| - Three and a half stars. If you like Southern fried seafood, broiled seafood, or steaks, this place will do in a pinch. We live about two miles away, so we get here a few times a year for fish and seafood.
We kicked off our meal with an order of fried pickles. Pinky's Westside Grill makes them a little better, but these were lightly breaded, fried to a golden, crispy brown, and served hot, with a creamy dill dressing: They're addictive fare for sure!
I'm partial to broiled fare, but my wife and kids like fried shrimp. Tonight, my wife and I had their broiled special, which is salmon strips, jumbo shrimp, hush puppies, sweet potato (you can choose fries or baked), and salad or slaw. The salad was nothing special, just iceberg, shredded carrots, cucumber chips, and a couple of grape tomatoes. The sweet potato was a little over-baked, but tasted fine. The hush pupples were tasty. The salmon was seasoned lightly and broiled in a little butter, I believe. The same can be said for the shrimp. They were very tasty.
One of my sons had lobster bisque, and the other one had fried shrimp. They were both stuffed when they left.
This is a little more upscale than the traditional Carolina fish camp. It isn't quite as compelling as the Mayflower near Concord Mills, and it's not quite the same as going to the coast, but if you're in the area and hungry for fish and seafood, it's definitely worth the visit. Prices are reasonable, service is adequate, and they're friendly and flexible.
