The pizza is just okay. Inexpensive, but frozen dough, canned mushrooms, peppers and onions diced so small they can hardly be tasted. Not terrible by any means, just nothing special. Great frosted canning jars for the draft beer. Beer was priced well also. But, one thing most people didn't mention was the place and atmosphere. Take note, this is a... more

Had lunch special of fried flounder and huband had mahi mahi. Both delicious. To say this restaurant is rustic would be a huge understatement. Don't go for ambience! more

The Gaff has the best pizza in Port A. They offer the "Gaffer" with everything, one slice is a meal! They also have sub sandwiches that are great. Pizza sub, roast beef (when they have it made - it sells out fast), meatball or you can create your own. They have beer and wine. Belt sander races on the second... more
