The best thing on the menu is the ribeye.......most the seafood come in frozen...Outside dining on the deck is nice but was very dirty. Deck needs a good scribing, paper and trash everywhere. The waiter was a little to entertaining wasting a lot of time joking

Terrible Manager

My family and I got treated very horrible by the manager for complaining to her about the ridiculously small portions that utterly do no match the price. We have been dining there for fourteen years now and just visited there for the first time in a few months. Last time we were disappointed with how much they "rip you off." So, we came back to see if the restaurant improved any and obviously it got worse. I would never recommend Corky Bells to anyone ever again.

Nice atmosphere and good food

I eat lunch here often. The prices are great and portions are large. I love their shrimp. The fish is a bit overcooked, but that is fine with me. Service is very good. The shrimp/oyster mix is good too.
