    Ha. BigDee already asked if I wanted a job there. They were looking for someone, but they weren't paying enough for me. If they up the anti a little bit, I might consider it.

    Don't think I've seen more than four tables filled at any one time. I think when it was planned, it was expected to be more of a bar than a restaurant. I can't figure out exactly what sort of venue it's supposed to be, located in a prime position at the edge of the Gulf, but drowning out the sound of the waves with local performers playing loud country music over a crappy sound system---more noise than music---and featuring a menu that was dreamed up by someone with a shaky grasp of reality. If you're serving families with kids, you need burgers, dogs, fries and grilled cheese----also need sandwiches for fishermen. Oh well, that ain't my monkey.

    I love the hamburgers and mac and cheese half of the time, sometimes the mac is ok sometimes it isn't, of course this is after not eating for 7-8 hours, the smoothies aren't bad either, but come to think of it, I never seen more than 4 or 5 tables with people either , I always sit at the bar
    I figure it this way, if everyone in the world had a lie clock, whose hands moved once every time they lied. You could use any politicians lie clock as a ceiling fan.

    My wife and I ate lunch there one day while we were vacationing at the pier. I was not impressed at all with the menu, the food, the service, or the price. We don't drink and wish beer wasn't sold for the same reasons rodbuilder noted. JMHO

    I worked at a night club for 2 years doing every job under the sun but bar tend. Alcohol in moderation is ok, but when you get into the excessive consumption you run into problems. Ironically the bar tenders are responsible for the patrons and their alcohol consumption. If a customer has to many and gets in their car and has an accident and kills someone, the bar tender can be charged as an accessory to murder. I for one have dealt with drunks who were friendly, and those who were combative and really don't have a desire to do so again, especially with my children around. I am like everyone else and enjoy a cold beverage when done fishing, but in a major public setting it must be in moderation.

    The burgers they serve are baked in an oven? What genius came with that idea? Just plain poor management and planning.

    Give a googan a king, and he can eat for a day. But teach a googan how to kingfish, and he'll be dead of mercury poisoning inside of three years

    If they would pay just a little bit better I would go in there and jazz everything up. They are basically wanting to polish a turd into a gold nugget which just isn't doable in a foodservice situation.

    Peaches, when the G.S. Council voted down their liquor license application, they were able to get a beer license since it was State property, but they still can't serve hard stuff.
