I have eating here many times and Gary and Martha's (Owners) seafood never disappoints. I like the fact that it is family run and has been for a couple of decades now. Gary is a master at preparing flavorful dishes and my favorite is the crab cakes...no wait, the blackend grouper...hmmm, maybe the fried shrimp platter...it's all so good!! They have a patio in the back which is ideal for hangin' out with friends and eating some great food. It is only on Fridays though - warm weather permitting - that they are open past 7 pm (until 9 pm), so take advantage of it because it's worth the unique ambiance. By the way, Gary is quite the character!

Enjoy!

Owner Gary Royce brings the best of the sea to Beltway-bound drones via a variety of daily soups (crab, grouper and New England clam chowder), homemade salads (grilled tuna, smoked mussels, shrimp vinaigrette) and robust specialty platters (conch fritters, sauteed salmon, fried, soft-shell crabs). Virtually all the fresh seafood on hand can be made into a generously sized sub of your choosing.
Their tiny shack off Lee Highway is just big enough to house a wraparound seafood counter—Royce says he buys direct from fishmongers located from Boston to Key Largo—and a handful of picnic tables out back. The standard menu includes a slew of sandwiches (most under $10) and mixed seafood platters (hovering between $12 and $15), plus a number of daily specials.
