Just a great place to have some eats in the neighborhood. Plenty of TV's to catch a game. Great chowder. Price point is good

Loved our time at Pop's. Great fresh oysters in a laid back environment surrounded by the friendliest of people. Outdoor patio a bonus on a beautiful day.

Love Pop's! Just stopped in for a happy hour beer and half dozen oysters today, thankful they're still open. Love nothing more than watching a nats game and grabbing some beers and food at the bar here.

This place is awesome. Seafood is really good and beer is affordable. It's like a seafood dive bar. I think it's cool. Seems like everyone knows each other. Will come back.

If you are looking for a super friendly seafood bar, this is your place. The bartender is great, so helpful. The service is, as I said, friendly. And the food, super tasty and delicious. I had the crab cake sandwich, with fries and coleslaw (one of the best I've ever had). Definitely a wonderful spot.

Honestly, my favorite food in the area. Probably my favorite burger of all time. I've never had a lackluster meal from here, everything down to their corn and coleslaw is fabulous. But seriously, how is their corn so good in February? Their lobster dinner is great, their fried chicken is awesome, their shrimp are delicious, and the sauce they use is worth asking for extra. Need to go back and try the corn dog bites!!

Food was good, staff was attentive, atmosphere was small, but nice. Had the fish of the day. Overall, great!

This place is incredible! Super fun casual place but in the best way which feels like you walked into a friends joint. Service was so friendly and a real treat to sit at the bar with great food and drinks. Thursday specials were on point - with 3.99 fish tacos and then 14 for a half dozen oysters and cava - the best! Highly recommend checking this place out and stopping by for a quick drink or a great meal.
