Beautiful place, great views, loved the little beach. Faith was very friendly. Food was delicious. We'll definitely be back
We visited Macky’s for lunch and enjoyed the atmosphere so much! It’s a beautiful environment to sit on the bay and enjoy some good music. We got beautiful pictures from Hollywood Pictures to commemorate our lovely lunch!! So worth it!
Mackys did not disappoint. Friendly service, great seating, good drinks, good vibes. Will was our server and he was great! Attentive, accurate, and timely. The happy hour drew us in and it was worth it. :) Asked for the Celtics game on the tv nearest us and Will made it happen!
Truly a 10/10 in EVERY area. The food the atmosphere (especially outdoor seating) the service I recommend sitting outside near the bay if it’s a beautiful day, get some sand in ya toes and immerse yourself in the beach eating experience. The food was SO good. I got the crab cake but with fries and was AMAZED. So juicy, so good, so delicious. A few remarks: Upgrade from the kettle chips to the fries. Maybe it was a bad day, but they were hard as a rock and lacked any flavor. My mom got the crab cake entree and the green beans weren’t that good, and neither was the rice. BUT everything else was outstanding. Definitely put it on your OCMD to do list!!
Nice seafood restaurant on the Bay. Beautiful views of the water and sunset. Outdoor dining looked nice but too windy for us. We ordered the BLT Crab Sandwich and it was the best crab cake I have ever had. It was big enough for two people. Our waitress was very nice and helped us order our meal our way. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
We visited at the beginning of the season and really enjoyed ourselves. The hostess gave us different seating options to fit our needs for the day and the waitresses were really friendly (one was in training, which we were kindly informed of when they arrived). The food options were pretty unique which I love, we got the buffalo shrimp appetizer (delicious! Crunchy and saucy). They made good drinks too! Loved the view of the water and watching other customers’ dogs play down in the beach seating area.
The line was long, but went by quickly. We sat at the bar for about 15 minutes before a table was ready. We were lucky to get a table on the bay with an amazing sunset view! I really enjoyed my crab cake dinner, and my fiance's lobster Mac and cheese was AMAZING!
Kayla was a wonderful server, I got the pulled pork tacos and they were delicious! Thank you so much to MJ for the free postcard and photos!!
