## Review Highlights
- Mark L. Clark - 5/5: THE place to be on a Sunday. Arrive by 10:00 if you want a seat. Burger was okay. Drinks were cold and reasonably priced come for the music and people watching.
- Barry Gregg - 4/5: Really fun place to go and experience. Good live music - traditional 70s, 80s, 90s and some older and newer stuff like new country, not the stuff the younger generation listens to today, at least not this day.

Was a bit disappointed in the grouper sandwich because it was really thin grouper. To be a good grouper sandwich it has to be really thick or all you taste is bread and condiments. Everyone raved about it in reviews but if you're going to get it, don't get the sandwich,  just get the grouper it's blackened taste was good. Thr fries were luke warm not hot. The waitress was great. Oh, note that they're now charging a whopping 3% fee for credit cards and the costs are already high. I don't know why we put up with such high costs and fees. People still just seem to spend money like it grows from trees. It's loud there, but if you like a crowded, loud, very active place on a Sunday this is it. A LOT of drinking and parking can be difficult unless you're willing to walk a ways and park on side of street/road which is okay. Good luck getting a table if you don't go early before they open or go later like 3 pm. Overall, we had fun but was NOT inexpensive for what we got.
- Buford T - 5/5: Gator bites. It's not that good.  Had better in Illinois.

Everything else is fantastic.

We had a great time here.

We will be back next year.

Just visiting.
