not great, not clean, lazy staff. dirty: the wooden tables featured plenty of used food wrappers, napkins, and crumbs. there were many counter girls standing around not doing anything, without bothering to clean up the tables. another gross thing: the two restrooms share just the one towel dispenser located outside the restrooms (meaning, you'll be unlocking and opening your door with wet hands). the dispenser is broken, so the towel door is left hanging open in case you want to reach into the heap of wet towels to get one. if it’s true you can judge a kitchen’s cleanliness by the cleanliness of the bathroom and dining area, then i’d hate to see this place’s kitchen.
food: very limited kids’ menu – hot dog, corn dog, or fried chicken strips (weird, hard, nearly blackened). adults had unrecognizable chicken nuggets ($6) which were weird little bread balls, almost no meat. decent burger. grilled chicken sandwich made from a frozen patty. nearly everything else on the menu is deep-fried. we got their “famous hand-made donuts” and they really aren’t special or memorable. other than wal-mart donuts and grocery-store donuts, these are some of the least-interesting, least well-made donuts i’ve ever had. they may have been day-old, i’m not sure. my kids love good donuts and they did eat these but didn't comment on them and didn't ask for seconds.
service problems: we waited a very long time (half hour?!) for their fast food. there are so many girls trying to work the register areas that they are tripping over each other. halfway through our meal we figured out they forgot one of our entrees so i wentbackto the counter. the girl ignored me so she could wander off and check her cell phone twice. one of the older ladies glanced at me and went about her business, not helping customers and just ignoring me. finally the cell phone girl returned and asked “did you want something” after a minute she found the chicken strips just laying around in the kitchen. i was surprised that no one bothered to figure out why the cooked food was not going out. she handed it to me without a word. the family that ordered after us had the same problem: 30 minutes after they ordered, after they got some of their food, the mother wasbackup at the counter saying they were "still waiting" for two of the things they had ordered. and again, the food was immediatley located in the kitchen and provided. it wasn't that it didn't get made, it was just that it didn't get served. so what they have is an expediting problem - the kitchen puts up the food, and the gaggle of girls buzzing about just doesn't notice it or doesn't care (too many facebook updates to read, i guess) and the only way to get your food is to keep going back, asking for whatever they forgot.
hours/location: they advertise new hours, open 7 days a week now, so no more surprise wednesday closings. good location for beach access, as you can walk right across the road to a nice-looking section of the beach with no commercial operations (jet skis, rental chairs, etc.) taking up public space. but you’d be better off brining a picnic than planning to make do with this sad place.
