We haven't been to the Costas Inn before, so we did not know what to expect. We discovered a cozy sports bar that was not quite filled since we arrived in mid day. After choosing our table we were immediately presented with menus and an inquiry from our attentive server, Stephanie, if she could get us anything from the bar while deciding what to order. I asked for a draft, Bass Ale and my date wanted a Margarita. The drinks came before any food decisions could be made because the menu included quite a variety (in addition to several Specials that changed Daily), from raw Oysters and other Seafood, a Pit Beef, Ham or Sausage, Salads, Burgers, Steaks, even Lobsters and my favorite: Steamed CRABS. You can guess what I ordered and my date wanted to try the Onion Rings and a Beef/Ham combo sandwich from the Costas' Pit. Stephanie returned with a plate of huge onion rings and asked if my date wanted the sandwich as soon as it was ready or to wait until my crabs were ready. We both wanted to see what the sandwich look like so we asked for the food as it became ready. Out came a Beef/Ham Pit combo fit for a King! It was piled high with both Pit Ham and Pit Beef and I knew I had to sample it. My mouth waters from the memory of that bite. My crabs came out shortly thereafter. Steamed perfect with just the right amount of spicy seasoning. I learned that Costas makes and sells their own seasoning mix. Costas Crabs were so heavy that I could only finish three and had to take the remaining home. As we left the bar, we entered their dining area, a football field sized hall, tastefully decorated, beginning to fill for their crabs judging by the butcher brown paper and crab mallets on the tables.
Will we come back? Absolutely! Everything was PERFECT!!!.
