“ Shout out to the amazing staff for handling a house packed with our crazy group! With just about every chair filled, the staff was great! They were super friendly and made our time there even better. Delicious eats with a selection of tasty signature cocktails just for our group made the night extra special! Big thanks to Shadowlawn Eats for a wonderful night with amazing friends! 10 out of 10... Would recommend! ”
“ I couldn't be more pleased with my experience at Shadowlawn Eats. Everything that touched my tongue was absolutely delicious! Even the mozz sticks and hush puppies were notably tasty. I ordered the steak bites app, medium rare, and I received PERFECTLY MEDIUM RARE (!!!) steak bites with an absolutely awesome garlic aioli. The crab cakes entree was absolutely to die for, with tender Brussels sprouts and crispy home fries with a chipotle dipping sauce that slapped. The servers were friendly and attentive without being intrusive, the music was a chill vibe, and the atmosphere was cozy without being claustrophobic. Top it all off with prices that are more-than-reasonable! I always look for negatives to add, but in this case I couldn't find one. Bravo, Shadowlawn Eats! ”
“ This spot is legit. Awesome atmosphere and great eats. Josh, Matt and Ivan are awesome killing IT in the kitchen and behind the bar. I will definitely be back to this spot. Love IT ”
“ Good atmosphere, quality service and food. The crab cake burger was delicious. The crab cake was moist and succulent, sweet potato fries were fresh and warm, and the chicken wings were tasty and delicious. Excellent service, laid back atmosphere and a wonderful location with parking spaces. A short walking distance to the beach. ”
“ If you want good food, a chill environment, and gorgeous, tall waitstaff this is your place! I had the fish and chips, it was delicious! Our whole party was very happy. Will definitely be returning! ”
“ This place is awesome. Great atmosphere, wonderful staff, food is on point. Literally no complaints. We had people ranging in age from 4-72 and everyone was well satisfied. That being said, it’s not a “family bar” though everyone was accommodating. Our server Evan was super personable and great with the kids. He was very good at anticipating needs/wants and made great recommendations. Very happy with this dining experience. Would like to come back without the fam and just hang out. ”
“ Great relaxed setting. I brought my teen kids (10 & 13) with me, and they loved the food. I got a delicious burger and a good beer. Service was quick, and everyone was super friendly. Highly recommended escape from the craziness of beach town. ”
“ Small place a few blocks off the beach, had a burger and fries that was the Wednesday special for 10, and it was awesome ”
