“ My son had the “monster plate” aka Garbage Plate, he enjoyed it very much. I had the beer battered fish fry and I’ve got to say one of the best I’ve ever had. Lobster bisque was delicious as well, lots of lobster (real too). Beer selection as always is great. Prices on new menu list both cash and credit pricing so save some and pay cash. Looking forward to coming back this season. ”
