    We were greeted by Becky with an incredible smile and VERY friendly. We were seated immediately. Tera arrived shortly with the menus and took our drink orders. Our drinks arrived within minutes and Tera explained a special of prime rib. We both chose the special. We were enjoying our drinks and listening to Rod Stewart. All staff was busy and had the look of happiness as they enjoyed there job. Our dinner arrived hot and perfect. Tera continue to check on us to make sure all was ok. We had a wonderful evening thanks to the Hammerhead staff the food was great as usual. Thank you Hammerhead. Tera you were the shining ⭐ star.

    No photos, but go there for the oysters. Get the baked oysters with 4 flavors. They’re baked, but not so much that the oysters are cooked too much.
