"The service and seating were quite good, but that's where the positives end. I ordered the Brisket Beef Dip and a Rum Punch. Unfortunately, the drink was poorly mixed and not very enjoyable. The beef was also disappointing—the brisket was bland and lacked seasoning. The only flavorful elements on the sandwich were the au jus and the queso, which is an unusual choice for a beef dip but shows some creativity. The fries were decent, though. Overall, I feel the prices are too high given the quality of the food; it seems you're really paying for the location. While it wasn't terrible, I doubt I would return."

Hangout stopped this morning after a beach cleaning. Was something busy, so we decided to sit at the bar that was full of service. We chose breakfast and breakfast. We have breakfast tacos and breakfast burrito. Both were very tasty and very full. The breakfast cocktails were also quite delicious. I recommend her house made Guava juice. The staff was super friendly and the facility is nice and clean. It is a beach spot so parking is tight or for, but it is worth it.

"We went here for a friends 39th birthday party extravaganza! When we arrived, we were warmly greeted at the door, but informed that there weren't any tables. The team quickly scrambled like a squadron out of top gun and offered to put together a large enough table to accommodate our group in front of the restaurant. The serving team was attentive and just the right amount of friendly to keep our drinks topped off throughout the Patty's experience. Speaking of the experience, let's talk about the food. Our first course included the shrimp cocktail, ceviche, and calamari. The shrimp cocktail was well presented and had some notable flavors. The presentation of the ceviche was great, and had flavors reminiscent of water and celery sans lemon. The calamari had the texture of a rubber band that was coated in soggy and slippery breadcrumbs. All three apps easily get a 10/10. Moving on to the main course, I cannot speak for others, but I ordered the Tomahawk (medium rare of course with a side of creamed corn and french fries. The french fries were crispy and quite delicious, they could be a meal in their own right! The creamed corn smelled slightly of body odor and had sweet, yet savory undertones. The only better creamed corn I have tasted came from Albertsons in a can. The presentation of the Tomahawk was exquisite. Slicing into the massive chunk of meat took some effort as tendons and fat clogged up the serrations of the knife faster than my arteries. The texture defied logic, it was in a superposition of wet and dry. This is something I have never experienced in all of my life on this planet. It was incredibly bland, but the sauces... man the sauces. All three sauces had aggressive flavors that reminded me of A-1 mixed with teriyaki sauce. The differentiator was a sprinkle of parsley or a dash of pepper. During our meal out on the sidewalk, we were greeted by a traveler that was seeking donations to fuel his dreams. Instead, I offered to fuel his belly by suggesting that he try some of my Tomahawk. He politely declined and continued his journey into the night. If I was to give the main course a grade, it would be A Overall Patty really built something special here. This is a hidden gem that I will reserve for only the bestest of occasions. In closing, I would give this place ONE MILLION STARS if that was an option. PS: To the birthday boy, we love you so much and we really wanted to say thank you for making this a night to be remembered."
