I would love to go back home to get me some fish because they took my fish with the hairs on it and I love my fish because they cook it right
The best seafood in this little town. Always hot and fresh. Great customer service 👏🏽
Excellent experience! You get to choose your fish and then it is fried for you. Very delicious; Teals has been in existence fot at least two generations
Fried oysters were mush devil crab wasn’t done. Place use to be jam up but now it’s terrible. I’ll stick to mayflower👍🏼
The burger are thick . Yet they lack flavor…. No seasoning on the meat … the sweet fries were burnt an to hard to eat …. The chili tasted like it came from a can . The regular fries were undercooked …. They don’t take cards . Had to use there Atm ( how convenient) waste of money
When you pull up to Teal's, the first inclination is to turn around… but do yourself a favor and don't pre-judge the place. I got the bacon teal-burger ATW with fries and a drink. I actually heard my jaw pop trying to get my mouth around it. You will be delightfully surprised, possibly even shocked. I also got fresh…
