I struggled with this review. For the price, something just seemed off. The food was good. Rather tasty, in fact. We all mostly enjoyed our meals. But, for example, my daughter wanted the chicken in her pasta dish on the side yet it still came out smothered in sauce. Why? They fixed it but it took a while. The fried oysters had a side of loaded fries. The fries were extra brown and the cheese was burnt... I didn't even want to take a picture of the dish. But the oysters were great. Our one adult beverage at the table was forgotten about for a while. At the end we actually wanted dessert (celebrating a birthday) but I was surprisingly given the check without even a mention. I had to say we wanted dessert. If these were $10 entrees I'd just roll with it. But these were much more than that.

Stopped in for breakfast this morning and had the tacos. They tasted pretty good, the home fries were awesome. The service was friendly and pretty quick. The price was kinda high for two tacos. The avocado was an upcharge.

First time eating at this restaurant and have a love/hate relationship with it. We were seated quickly and the server took our drink order just as quickly. The service was very good, but the food was lacking. My wife and I travel a lot and whenever we see Shrimp n' Grits on the menu, we are always excited to try it. The list price was pretty high and we were more than happy to pay it until the server told us the shrimp are NOT cleaned of their veins when we asked. How is a restaurant this expensive not clean their shrimp before cooking??!?! We decided not to order the Shrimp n' Grits. I ordered the ribeye steak at medium temp and it was slightly overcooked. Was too scared to send it back after waiting so long to get it. Again, at such a high price point, it should have been done correctly! My wife decided on a few small apps to be her dinner and they were all pretty great with the star of the evening being the Clam Chowder. The food was o.k., the service was good, and the price points were too high for the lack of quality of the food. Unclean shrimp and over cooked steak is what sank this dinning experience for us.
Do better Captain Ratty's.

Shrimp and grits. Little salty (for my taste palette) but the burger was delicious and nice atmosphere/nice service provided
