We then add our own unique blend of spices to seal the deal. You won’t find our flavor combination anywhere else. We prepare our seafood fresh to order and encourage our patrons to get their hands dirty with our signature seafood combinations. We firmly believe in bonding over great food and drinks with family and friends, and what better way than to dig right in with your hands? Come open up a bag, where the juiciness awaits you.

    The food was excellent and the service was great. We were checked on often and our needs taken care of promptly. We can't wait to go back! There are not a lot of items on the menu which I like. It isn't so hard to make a decision with fewer options. The only problem, they all look so good, I wanted one of each. Very nice experience overall and my friend with the birthday couldn't have been happier.

    We don’t go to Daphne’s often since we live almost an hour away, but we certainly enjoyed our visit last night. Our server, Emma, was great and we enjoyed the food and ambiance. They were not taking walk-ins since they were fully booked, so glad we used Open Table

    The food was it’s usual best although they should serve scissors with soft shell snow crabs. The service personnel are hospitable and full of Southern charm but the restaurant was cold and uninviting. Overall a nice experience and would come again.
