We found the ribeye of our dreams on vacation here! I added boiled shrimp to mine; I couldn't decide which was better, the ribeye or the shrimp. Mixed greens and stewed tomatoes were the perfect accompaniments. Everything was SO good. It was great to look at the wall decorations and find a little bit of home. BOOMER!

1st time here, this may be a place locals know of. Food was GOOD. Everything coming out of kitchen looked wonderful! Prime rib, steaks seafood buckets, burgers- they seem to have it all! Prices were reasonable. Wish there was one closer to home! Had ribeye ($38), battered shrimp dinner & apps 3 people, bill under $80.

Wonderful wait, staff, and delicious 😋 food. My husband ordered all he could ear seafood and only ate the 1st serving! I had 2 lb crab legs bucket with shrimp and 2 sides! Very good. Nice atmosphere, enjoyed decorations on the walls too.

We live in Harrisonburg and have been wanting to try this place for a while. We finally got the chance tonight and everything was absolutely incredible. The prime rib was super tender and flavorful, even the steamed shrimp were perfectly cooked so the shell just fell away. The crab legs were so easy to crack and pull out in one piece. Portions were huge and service was great as well. We will definitely be back.

We had crab legs and shrimp with baked apples, mashed potatoes and gravy and a side salad. Everything was amazing! We brought a slice of carrot cake home with us and so glad we did! YUM! Highly recommend! We'll be back!

First time. Prime rib was outstanding. Hush puppies were delicious. Green beans were great. Coleslaw was sweet. Shrimp was lightly fried and tasty. Service was fast. Atmosphere was friendly. Will definitely be back.

Our first trip in town and we selected this eatery from a list our hotel provided. Entering on a Friday evening we stood at the hostess' stand until the hostess got caught up and seated us. Our server was Crissy and took extra time introducing us to their menu. Our food arrived hot and had fantastic flavor we found to be delightfully delicious. Where we were seated the music playing was a tad loud but this was a Friday evening!
