"Order the crab cakes, either as an appetizer or a meal -- you can't leave without trying one."

"Order a TST Roll. Get there early on Wednesday for $1 sushi night -- there will be a line out the door."

"Order an old-fashioned milkshake, any flavor. Make it "for here" even if it's to go -- the extra scoop of ice cream on top is not to be missed. They'll give you a long spoon."

"Sit in the party deck for inexpensive seats with a decent view, $9 imports and a liquor bar, and lots of cowbell."

"Sit on the deck and watch a sunset over the Gulf. Order the rum punch and an appetizer -- both will be generously poured."

"Order a Thick 'n' Chunky, which is much better than a McDonald's McFlurry or DQ Blizzard. A small should be plenty -- the cup sizes run large."
