Enjoy giant-sized fare from the California Dreaming kitchen. Start with Barbecue Chicken Nachos to curb your cravings; then slow-cooked Prime Rib, âfall-off-the-boneâ baby back Ribs or giant Seafood Platters - served with Shrimp, Oysters, Flounder and Blu

We heard from our friend who leaves locally that this restaurant was owned by the same owners as the Carolina Roadhouse. Our server Brenda was very efficient and helpful. I had the BLT with a baked potato, my wife The slalom with a baked potato, our daughter he ny strip steak and our granddaughter the chicken strips. We also had the onion appetizer and croissants. Everything was marvelous, as was the selection of adult beverages. Loved it.

Reviews on TV and at our hotel said this was the best seafood buffet. Unfortunately, I cannot agree. With a $3 coupon discount the meal was $32 for a buffet that was no better than Golden Coral. Great waitress and unusual decor but the food was not that great. In fairness, I have to say that I am not a big fan of crabs legs - way too much trouble to eat for such a small reward.Thank you for your review Bob. All seafood buffets are going to be expensive because the food we provide is expensive, especially the crab legs. I will have to strongly disagree with the Golden Corral comment because I have eaten at a couple of them in recent weeks and they in NO WAY have food that is anything close to the quality of our food much less any seafood options. I am sorry we did not meet your expectations.Take care, Mike

My husband and I tried Rick's based on TripAdvisor reviews. Let me tell you, it was really good! I love shrimp and grits and consider myself to be a connoisseur (in my own mind). I had the shrimp and grits and they were phenomenal!My husband had deviled crab and they were good too. They give you little bite sized hushpuppies that were tasty!We got there early and they have a "early bird" menu that ends at 5:30. So, we saved a few dollars on the shrimp and grits. NICE! Anyway you have to give this place a try! The outside looks old but, you walk in and it was more upscale than we were expecting. I'm not talking fine dining but, it was really nice.

We are new to the area and were recommended this place. What a great find! Weâve been a few times in a short period and each time, the food was great. Sometimes âbarâ food is just average but this is much better than average. The service is okay but the food makes up for it. I donât know which is better, the chicken fingers, wings or the sandwiches. The Rueben was great!!! Definitely a favorite in the area!! Weâve sent several friends and they all have loved it!!!

We were greeted with golden smiles and handed a menu with golden selections. Love the Southern Hospitality! I tried the ânewâ Inlet Omelette which had three eggs with shrimp, spinach, mushrooms and feta cheese. It wouldâve been delicious if it wasnât over cooked. My egg was not soft & fluffy, instead it was thin and hard. Which made my omelette likened into a tortilla with filling and the cheese was not even melted so there were thick clumps of feta in my bites. I ended up just eating the spinach and shrimp. However, the pancake and greats that came with were delicious. My husband ordered creamed filled French Toast with strawberries and said although it was good, the amount of cream cheese overpowered the French Toast. He also ordered sausage patties which were absolutely delicious. Overall a decent breakfast and I would go back, but I canât give it more than 3 on this trip, because I couldnât enjoy my entree.

This place was a breath of fresh air. Went for breakfast. The wait staff was incredible from our waitress Alma down to the people bringing out food from the kitchen and making sure everything was alright. The food was reasonably priced and the nice sized portions. Finally, have to mention the Beignets. Ordered some for the table and was glad we did. They were wonderful.

We stopped in Southside Grill for dinner for the second time in a week and had another great meal. Grilled ahi tuna with a cucumber wasabi sauce on the side was absolutely delicious. Husband had grilled pork chops which were awesome. He has a big appetite but could only eat one! Seasoning superb. Best baked potatoes I have ever tasted! Prices very reasonable and service great! Definitely on our list to come back!

Itâs a friendly restaurant. Great variety of seafood. Clean environment and fresh food. Great desserts already plated. Excellent service. Kacie Grate gave us great service. Always pleasant, caring with great customer service skills. Privately own, which I find refreshing because all together as an establishment is more caring instead of robotic service. Warm atmosphere. I like that they take pictures of you upon consent and later you are presented with beautiful photographs to buy for little money. If you donât want to buy one they give a free complimentary one. Last but not list reasonable pricing.
