    For a busy restaurant like Shores Inn, you'd expect something to fall short like the food and service. Thankfully, I've never had to experience that on the many times I've visited. Shores Inn is a good spot to get casual drinks & food for any dynamic - family, friends, couples; you can't go wrong with this place. It can get quite busy, but it's never impacted my service. Each waitress I've had has been very attentive and kind. The manager occasionally checks in on patrons, which to me showcases genuine care. The food is pretty good and reasonably priced. Out of everything I've tried so far, I highly recommend the Bang Bang Shrimp; the sauce is delicious, and the shrimp have a great crisp. They offer a few vegetarian and vegan options, including meatless appetizers and entrees like the Impossible Burger, which can substitute a regular patty on any burger. If you're looking for an adult drink, they have a variety of local beer, ales, and cocktails. The Espresso Martini is made differently than the traditional (they likely add cream), but they're still good. If you're visiting during the cold months, the Spanish Coffee will definitely warm you up. All-in-all, Shores Inn is a great restaurant in the area and worth checking out.

    Saturday night. Packed house. Streets loaded with people. The combination of cold drinks & great food with a small town feel. I love it. I seen multiple people with burger & fries while walking around, som my decision was easy. I’m glad I went with that too. I don’t order burgers too often at restaurants but I would recommend it. Service was note worthy, good times were had. Thank You Shores Inn for making us dinner tonight. We appreciate it.

    Food was exactly average. Service was good. We went on Thursday with a toddler. We were sat right away and food came out quickly. Bang bang shrimp appetizer, kids tenders, kids mac and cheese, shores burger with onion rings, and bbq chicken wrap. Shrimp app was the best part of the dinner. Everything else was marginal. Probably won't be back. Looks like a fun place to have a drink, but my husband and I are both sober.

    This was my first time here and I was highly satisfied with everything about this place. Our waitress (Paige) was excellent. The food, fresh, delicious, and worth every price. The prices, good for this day and age as well. I want to return again and try even more things on the menu.

    Honestly it could be 5s all the way across if you consider this isn't trying to be a 5 star Michelin restaurant. Going with the Monday special, 7.50 for a good burger and fries you can't go wrong. 25 oz 2 Hearted for $9, most places you get 1/2 that for $9. Plus this is NOT a dive. Good prices, good fool!

    We brought our sons here for lunch. We wanted to try their cauliflower pizza crust. They did not disappoint. My wife especially appreciated the waitress's recommendation of the mushrooms. She said they were canned but not especially wet and presented more like fresh mushrooms. Check out the pics. Our waitress, Christina was great and so was the food. I had the 9 mile burger and it was good. We left there satisfied and we'll definitely come back.
