I truly wish I could explain how good this food is. I'm from Charleston so I know good red rice. Growing up here I also know good seafood. THIS PLACE IS KILL'N IT!!!! And God forbid I tell you about the dessert!!!
Great fried chicken. Family friendly spot and kids eat free. This is a great deal in Joe Biden's America where we have to watch our pennies. In all seriousness the food is great, servers are so nice and they have movies playing everywhere. Great music selection.

Some of the best cocktails for food pairings include herbs, either from the liquor or as a fresh herb garnish. Sour drinks are also a tantalizing contrast to many dishes, and dry drinks will refresh the palate. Sweet cocktails can be too much in many cases, even for dessert.

My father before me loved your Seafood Cocktail Sauce and it's all I've ever eaten in my 76 years.Now I can't find it anywhere and other brands simply stink in comparison. Your product finder says it's not available anywhere within 100 miles. Have you stopped shipping it east of the Mississippi?
I've been buying you cocktail sauce for over 50 years (and my mother before me). I've been looking for it for months in Publix and Winn Dixie but none there. A manager at Publix looked it up in their system and it showed it was discontinued by manufacturer. Yet I see it can be ordered on your web page (she suggested that I look on line). It's the best one out there by far and I want it.
When we lived in Mn. your cocktail sauce was the only one for our entire family then we moved to Kingman Az. and cannot find it anywhere. The stores carry your horseradish but not the cocktail sauce. They said they can't order it. I've given up shrimp because without your sauce it's just not any good.
I first found this fabulous, delicious tasting with just the right KICK sauce from Sam's Club in Baltimore. every time I go to Sam's I would look for it and they said it was a seasonal item. Well I did the next best thing! online to find my sauce:)))). Thank you so much because I'm a big Seafood lover and this sauce is the BEST!!!
The Best Cocktail Sauce I have ever found, I Bought this at Sam's Club in Concord, Ca., But they quit stocking it, and I could not find it any more in calif. When I went to New York for my grand daughter wedding I found it at a Sam's club their. I bought 3 32 Oz bottles and brought them back home with me.

Have you ever met anyone who doesn't love cocktail hour? Wedding guests get to dig into bite-sized hors d'oeuvres, sip signature beverages, and mingle with friends and family. Since food is a central part of this portion of the wedding, deciding exactly how many options to give your guests can be a daunting challenge. If you serve too little, your loved ones may feel unsatisfied and hungry before dinner. On the other hand, serving too much food means everyone will likely feel too full to enjoy their meal or let loose on the dance floor. Plus, an excess of cocktail-hour bites wastes both food and money. So how do you determine the correct amount to serve?
According to Helah Kehati, president of JPO Concepts, a New York City events and hospitality company, traditional cocktail hours have two separate food entities: passed hors d'oeuvres and a grazing table. The hors d'oeuvres generally consist of bite-sized choices that can be easily eaten while socializing. The grazing table works more like a buffet, and it can offer anything from charcuterie to raw seafood. When planning your cocktail hour menu, Kehati says to make the calculations based only on passed hors d'oeuvres, and consider the grazing table a fun addition. That's because sometimes people don't notice the grazing table, and it often has one particular food theme that won't satisfy all guests.
With this in mind, Kehati says her team at JPO Concepts has a go-to guideline for determining the correct amount of food to serve at cocktail hour: eight to 12 bites per guest. "The range should be adjusted based on the time of the cocktail hour, heartiness of the caterer you've selected, and budget," says Kehati. "It also depends on the heaviness of the hors d'oeuvres." In other words, stick to eight bites per person if your cocktail hour comes shortly before dinner, you're serving heavy and filling items (like sliders or sausages), or your budget necessities it. Opt for a larger number of bites per person if guests have gone a long time without eating or if your food choices are very light. 2ff7e9595c
