Food: Lackluster food options abound
The cheeseburger, touted as the best in town, fails to overshadow the broader picture of mediocrity. Dishes often arrive burnt or bland, making freshness a fading memory, and portions leave diners questioning their worth as they dive into standard, frozen fare with little inspiration.
Okay Value
Fair prices and decent selections at this beachy dive bar.
Bad Taste
Several reviews describe food as mediocre, bland, disappointing, and burnt.

Vibe: Cozy setting wrapped in chaos
Despite the chaotic scene, the ambiance radiates a cozy, beachy vibrancy that many find appealing. The picturesque ocean views paired with an extensive drink menu and decent prices highlight the tavern’s attempt to charm patrons amid the storm of overcrowding and noise.
Great Buzz
Vibe is inviting, trendy, with a happy and upbeat atmosphere.
Okay Drinks
Drinks and atmosphere are decent, but nothing particularly special.
Perks: Frustration prevails amidst chaos
Finding parking can be an exercise in futility, and once inside, the noise levels render conversation near impossible. With slow service contributing to the frustration, patrons often find themselves losing patience while trying to enjoy the atmosphere and camaraderie.
