    Server was great. Food was good but would have been excellent if it had not been over salted. Boiled shrimp was excellent appetizer. The oven roasted potatoes were way over salted. People next to us complained about their fries being too salty. Could be excellent…..

    The Reel is a very nice place to eat - the food is very delicious - great options for everyone. Our service provided by Robbie on 4-19-2025 was exceptional. We had 9 in our party and he was very attentive and prompt. Truly made our visit pleasurable.

    This place is hands-down my favorite. We made our reservation on OpenTable and got sat right away—super smooth. The food is always consistent, fresh, and packed with flavor. The service is friendly without being overbearing, and the whole experience is just easy and enjoyable. Whether it’s dine-in or takeout, they always get it right. Can’t recommend it enough.

    A nice place to eat overall. Several of us ordered entrées with the dirty rice. The rice was very salty and overpowered the main entrée. A few of us had the Cajun sauce which also was very salty and thick with lumps of flour/thickener. It took away from the looks of the dish. I had a nice piece of blackened Mahi, but the sauce and rice overpowered the fish. Two of us had the fried shrimp and fries, which were very good, although, again, the fries were too heavy on the salt. The waiter was very friendly and attentive.
