replying to u/bigg13boi: Thanks I’ve been there for drinks before. The entrées feel a bit less standout (just the usual fish) and most of the seafood mains are pretty standard. But definitely a fun spot for lunch, especially for mussels and fries.
“Yea just a fun concept with the endless different mussel preparations, different than your standard approach, and a fun laidback vibe. I only get mussels there.”

replying to u/WildCherryLane: Haven’t seen anyone suggest Flex Mussels. You can order a couple of mussel pots to share between everyone and they have some great drink lunch deals as well! I also think frying pan or Grand Banks would likely impress visitors though make sure they don’t get motion sick. The boats do rock.
