Fish Hut WONDERFUL. I like to eat outdoors and watch the traffic. It's open air. You walk up and order at the counter and then serve yourself your drinks. It is an honor system, you get what you'd like out of the cooler or order one of their mixed drinks and tell the cashier what you had when you check out. They're on Emerald Drive just across from the CVS.
