I was in the area for work and asked for a good place to eat. Lighthouse was recommended. Walked in and was immediately greeted with one of the best atmospheres I've ever witnessed. The service was excellent. Everyone was extremely friendly, like we all knew each other. Great food, I ordered the crab grilled crab claws and grilled shrimp with slaw and green beans. Did not disappoint at all. I highly recommend.

We've eaten a lot of seafood across the country and this place is second to none, epecially the crab claws. Fried or grilled, they are absolutely amazing! The restaurant is off the beaten path, kind of out in the country. It's clean and the service is excellent. The Lighthouse is worth your time - you will not be disappointed!
