This is dockside dining at its finest. If you’ve been riding the waves all day and suddenly find yourself ravenous, don’t even bother going home to grab the car. Just pull right up into a slip and take the sidewalk leading inside.

Seating is available both indoors and out, with covered awnings shielding against heat and adverse weather. It’s absolute heaven on the deck when a summer breeze rolls through.

As far as the food, you’ll find a variety of mouthwatering options to choose from. Fish tacos and sesame-crusted tuna are just a few of the fresh seafood dishes available.

Sometimes, nothing hits the spot quite like a thick, juicy burger. Other down-home classics include chicken-fried steak, boudin balls, and succulent, slow-smoked barbecue.
