"This restaurant serves the worst food I have ever had. We stopped in to kill some time while waiting to pick someone up at the airport. First impression was that it was empty on a Saturday night. Whenever I see that, I wonder how long the food has been sitting around. Physically, the property is a dump and it smells. I tried the BBQ beef sandwich. The meat resembled roast beef slices but had a lot of gristle and fat on it. The meat was hard to chew through and had no seasoning whatsoever. Completely tasteless except for the chewy fat. There was “Barbecue” sauce on it. The BBQ sauce was really vinegar with chunky salsa in it. Tasted disgusting. Sent the order back. The wife-unit ordered the conch fritters. They were a strange color, one not usually associated with conch fritters so I didn’t try them. She tried a bite and almost gagged. We disassembled the fritter and could not identify what anything was, especially the dark mass in the center. We sent them back. The waitress behind the bar agreed that the fritters are really bad there. The service was very slow considering how few people were there. The bartender with the giant fake cans has a snotty attitude and tried to blame us for their horrible food. She’s better suited for work in the “Entertainment” industry, but only on the B-shift. I suppose if you work nearby and want a quick beer after work, it’ll do but why bother, the re are a lot of bars in this area. If you decide to try the food, well, you have been warned."
