Our second visit here, and it didn’t disappoint. The special appetizer of the day was this lovely baked potato smothered with bacon, crab, Parmesan cheese, and an old bay cream sauce.

Lastly, our server Justin and other staff were remarkably attentive despite the restaurant being busy! Highly reco

Walked into Tautog’s without a reservation, expecting a wait. Instead, I was seated right away — a small victory. The place sits in what feels like an old beach house, creaky floors and all, just steps from the ocean. It’s got that lived-in charm that tells you it’s been serving locals long before TripAdvisor showed up.Service was sharp — friendly without being fake — and you can tell the kitchen’s actually cooking here, not reheating. They were out of raw oysters, which was a shame, but the steamed clams made up for it — briny, tender, simple perfection. The shrimp and grits came creamy and r
