I would suggest a more TLC when preparing meals. Definitely some season, Ol bay perhaps. More inviting and welcoming staff. canopies to help shade patrons from sun when dining at the tables outside.

I've been there two times this year. both were terrible experience. nobody cleans the fryolator apparently. Everything tastes like burnt garbage. I normally would never write a scathing review about somebody's restaurant. But this place is not the same as I remembered it when I was a kid. avoid yourself some heartbreak and don't bother going. nasty nasty disgusting food

Food is bland. Generous portions, but flat tasting.
