Part diner, part restaurant, Crooks is a nightly celebration. I like to sit at the small tile bar and eat tidbits of appetizers like the excelllent crab cakes and their signature dish, shrimp with grits.
They have a charming and romantic patio area out back with a small fountain and bordered by illuminated bamboo trees.
Other house specials I like are the crackly fried oysters with hot sauce, and jalapeno hushpuppies.
