Amazing food

I was in the area and wanted some fresh oysters. This place hit the spot! Every table received a complimentary basket of hush puppies with a side of butter. Oysters were fresh and affordable (each was about 3 dollars). Charming and friendly waitress service. Abundant parking. Not sure what more you need from an oyster restaurant!

This is a Raleigh staple! The environment is amazing, the oysters beyond amazing, hush puppies yum! Coconut shrimp just get it!

Excellent place to go for birthdays and seafood. The spicy peel and eat shrimp with butter and cocktail sauce are outstanding! We had a big group a while back but our waiter got everything right and was always there for refills!
