    My wife and I came here today for a late lunch with our dog. Phenomenal live music and beautiful water views. She got the shrimp wrap with bang bang sauce and loved it and I got a fried chicken sandwich which was perfect! Can’t wait to come back!

    JM’s on the water was delicious! The server Savannah was awesome. The steamer bucket was a big hit with the kids. I had the clam strips and shrimp, they were fantastic.

    Can't beat the waterfront dining. We will be back!!! Busy and understaffed like everyone else. But the difference is being apologetic and explaining in advance. The meal was delivered in a timely manner even with being busy. The food was outstanding. The staff was nice and friendly. 5 stars

    We were told of this place from a local and we are so glad that we went. The food was absolutely amazing. We did a early lunch- which I recommend- and everything was so good. For appetizers we got bang bang shrimp and the crab dip. The bang bang shrimp let alone could be a meal- they were out of this world. The crab dip was very good and the pita bread was so soft. Our group got shrimp, grouper, fried green beans, fried zucchini, crab cakes, fried shrimp sand-which, burger and a kids grilled cheese. While all of the food was amazing, we really spoke high of the grouper, crab cakes and fried zucchini. The service was absolutely incredible as well. Our waitress(who I totally forgot her name, but had dinosaur tattoos) was one of the best, if not the best we have ever had. There was a mix up of our sweet tea and unsweetened tea and it turned out to be a huge joke with our table. We were so thankful for her awesome spirit we absolutely will return here this week or next year when we come back. Love, “Karen”
