“Now I have had a LOT of BLTs but this one is perfect. Warm buttery soft bread, crispy bacon and cool veggies. It was perfect. The staff was amazing. Will go back again.”

“I work locally and I LOOOVE the Beach Bucket! I love the people, the funny kinds of pickles and locally made everything! And my hummus and bacon sandwich with all veggies and extra black olives!! :)”
★★★★★ – Jen T.
“The burgers were juicy, the turkey sandwich very filling, and the BLT was perfectly cooked. Plenty of choices for the picky eaters I was buying for! My husband and I shared a draft beer while we were waiting for our food, which was ice cold and refreshing on a hot July day. We will be back again!”
