Great food at great prices. Burgers are more gormet than bar food and great - to lobster rolls which are amazing. Great appetizers and drinks and entertainment on the weekends. The bands are a fun way to spend an evening

Went with a friend for her birthday. There was no parking immediately around the building, but ample in other areas of the shopping park. We were met by a sign outside there door that read, ask host to be seated, with an arrow pointing inside. But outside on the deck was a booth with staff seating people. So we weren't very clear if we were to ask them or inside staff, or if it mattered. We asked the ones outdoor, it was 2 ladies and a guy. Between the three of them, we couldn't get their attention. Finally we were able to ask and they said if yoo....i want to sit indoors ask the host inside, and vice versa. Ok, now that's clear. We told them sure then, we'll sit outside. 'Just give us 2 minutes', we were told, as they stood there in a conversation about tables and staff and confusion, etc,etc... we waited patiently. After a while we decided it was too humid outccx and we'lljust go inside after all. My friend tried to get their attention again to tell them we'd changed our minds, but they couldn't care less. Anyway, inside was not much better at first. We were seated quickly, it was cool and air conditioned. But as we sat conversating, we noticed we hadn't been attended to for a good 20 minutes. We tried to flag someone down and no one knew who seated us or who was serving us. In comes Kareem (I hope I got it right! )to the rescue who told us it wasn't his table, but he'll take care of us. And he did the rest of the night. We ordered drinks and apps and our main meal. I was thrilled to see the impossible burger on the menu. It was cooked very well. My friend got the lobster roll sans bun. She also got a salad that looked amazing and ther brussel sprouts(which I wanted, but it has bacon in it and they couldn't do it without). I could've used more alcohol in my twisted mule but overall I was very happy with the food! Bill was reasonable. As we were finishing up my sister texted me she and her husband were there outside. Well they had a totally different experience. Said they were grated and serrated right away. Nice seat by the stage with umbrella. Their order was taken quickly by their server. So whether it was hit or miss this night or often, I don't know. Maybe my friend and I caught them in a shift change, or maybe they get busy preparing for the live music and we came at a bad time. We wound up sitting with my sister and BIL for a few minutes. The band was great! They have live events regularly. I'll be back for sure and will hope we have the experience closer to what my sister had! Note: we went back for a reggae band weeks later. Service was even worse. If their goal is to turn people off, they are succeeding. It's a shame bc they have great events. I'll probably still go back for music and drinks, but I doubt I'll ever just go back there to eat in. It seems like some of the staff is trying though. Even my sister, who had a great experience last time, this time was complete opposite and she felt my pain. They just need more organization on nights with live events. Need to be more attentive to their customers no matter what is going on.

Awesome atmosphere and the staff is very kind and helpful. Ordered two lobster rolls a water and a soda. The lobster rolls were decent. Have had better and have had worse. The bill came and the total was $72. No breakdown on the bill, just a total which is odd. I’m sorry but even in todays market that price is absurd for what we ordered. Had a lobster roll from another local establishment recently that was much larger and tasted better for $25.

I have never had a cover charge. Maybe because they knew they were going to have a big turn out they could charge more.

Donald Salvesen | Oct 9, 2018

Don't know, was there visiting from out of state. Best to call to find out.

Y Beer prices so high? This makes me us not want to patronize, its like robbing your neighbor $7 for a Corona for example, insanity! $4 is better, or better yet, $20 for a bucket of 5, go crazy and make it 6. Domestic $15 for 6 all day!

A Google User | Oct 9, 2018
Joey C's Boathouse Cantina & Grill | Oct 9, 2018

Coronas are $6 not $7, but if you gave the bartender a $1 tip then it would be $7...we charge what most places do unless they are running a special at happy hour etc. We have happy hour beers everyday as well...
