“ Glad to be able to be outside again to eat out and Yelp about it! It's been a long time since I've visited a Mayflower (others are Burlington, Greensboro and Asheboro). Found this one while in the area and they did not disappoint. My combination was great. I just wish they would allow for substitutions since I don't eat deviled crab and I would've preferred whitefish over flounder. Everything was fresh hot and crispy though. I think the next time I'll make my own combo instead of choosing the "captains combo". ”
“ My husband's favorite seafood restaurant- Excellent food.I had a generous portion of flounder & popcorn shrimp- freshly prepared & hot with a baked potato & delicious slaw. Y husband had a generous portion of a trout Combination. Very interesting decor- there's a replica lighthouse in the restaurant with play sharks hanging overhead in different areas of the restaurant- the service was brisk and efficient- Accessible parking -.theres a railing along side the sidewalk to go around to the restaurant. If you like seafood- you may want to try this restaurant- it's on a side road - off a major Interstate ”
“ We haven't been here in many, many years, so I read through some reviews, and we decided to give it a shot for lunch on Saturday. We were pleasantly surprised in all respects! The service was excellent! Very friendly waiter who was very attentive and made sure our drinks were filled and got anything else we might need. The food was delicious! Everything was lightly fried to perfection. My spouse had fried scallops that she said were perfect with fries. I had the white fish and clam strips with a baked potato. The fish was so flakey, and so many of the clam strips were much bigger than I've seen in years, plus no rubbery texture. Both entrees came with slaw. We both had leftovers. The restaurant is clean and nicely decorated with a nautical theme throughout, including an actual boat serving as the desk where you pay when leaving. We were thrilled to find the Mayflower serving up such great seafood and plan on returning sooner rather than later. Honestly, I'm surprised there wasn't a line out the door! ”
