Was there for the first time and had the clams with the garlic wine sauce and it was delicious. I then tried their tropical salad and it had fresh fruit and the filet was cooked exactly as ordered. The service, food, and views are great.

Visited a new place (new for us) tonight. What a find! Food was great. Staff was friendly and very accommodating. Server checked with chef regarding raw eggs in several items and came back promptly with info. A bit pricey but was worth it since there was no wait for a table of six. This is definitely a place we will... More

Had a pound of peel and eats. They were fresh, plump, and juicy! Great view of the ICW from the deck!

More like bad bar food than seafood. Crab dip appetizer was fishy. Our waitress claimed that lump crab meat is always fishy. No way! We grew up on the eastern shore so we know crab. The dish looked hot but was cold inside Obviously made in advance and reheated. Crab soup was the only good thing. At $8 a cup... More

Our first trip to the Dead End Saloon and we will be back. Two of us were dining and had great service. The folks are all friendly and the local folks make you feel like one of the family. They have a nice beer selection and fresh salads, seafood and soups. I do not recommend the steamed shrimp because they... More

At the beach with friends and was told this was a good place to eat. Lunch for 3 adults and 2 teens was 109 before the tip. Service was slow and the waitress didn't seem all that engaged. Had to remind her for refills on soda and tea twice.

My parents in law suggested this restaurant. Should have gone during the day because of the view of the harbor and the intracoastal. Restaurant is casual with bar at the entrance. Friendly staff. Spacious and casual dining area overlooking the water. I ordered the crab cake sammy (sandwich) and was a little disappointed by the size of it considering the... More
