Some of the best Shrimp and seafood around! I love their shrimp (on Wednesdays it's all you can eat) and my husband loves their a trigger fish. We frequent the place often because it's well worth it! We recommend it to all our friends and family and they love it too.
Local seafood and friendly faces paired with a gorgeous marsh view! The scallops were perfectly seared and seasoned to perfection. If you are looking for good food and a great atmosphere, this is it!
My wife and I were traveling and just checking out St Mary’s for the day. We stopped in for lunch (really a combo lunch and supper). We sat inside with a view of the waterfront so that was nice. We ordered the Crab Dip for an appetizer and it was outstanding. My wife had fried oysters and scallops and loved …
The scallops, mussels, shrimp, ahi Tuna, dungeness crab and catch of the day all were delicious and cooked perfectly. If I had to pick a favorite I'd say the dungeness crab! Alex, the bartender is attentive, friendly and exudes southern hospitality. And the sunset views were spectacular!! We loved it so much went back the next night.
All of the locals recommended this place, so we had to check it out. Now, I can see why. Four of us went here for dinner last night. Two of us ordered the all you can eat shrimp platter, I got the Fried Oysters platter and our landlubber friend had Fettuccine Alfredo. We all enjoyed our dishes. Cooked to perfection. …

Food and service was great. We enjoyed the scallops wrapped in bacon, my girls had Alfredo with chicken one the Alfredo. Also shrimp and grits, I had steak and crab cakes. And dessert. Tried all a different dessert it was perfect. Every time I come to home town. I stop here.
When I travel for work I usually try to find smaller local places that I can't get at home. I drove to Georgia just to have dinner here, and it was 100% worth the drive from Florida while I was there for work. I had the filet mignon with scallops, hush puppies, and the local slaw, and everything was fantastic. …
