   I had the "Jewels of the Sea" entrée for dinner. Everything except the lobster tail was cooked well and tasted well. When the lobster tail was served it had a mushy texture vs firm texture. Thus, my dinner was messed up being served poorly cooked lobster.

   Our waitress and bartender was amazing. We sat in the bar area high top chairs. We’ve had both servers before and they are amazing.

   Reservation time was not honored even though the waiting area was empty when we arrived (15 minutes before our time). Many many families came in after us and was seated before us and they had the same reservation time. I asked about the process and it was not explained in any way that made since. We finally got seated 40 minutes after our reservation. That was not ideal and made us not want to try this place again.

   Service was very good. Food was very good. We went on Father’s Day, so it was pretty busy, but the staff made sure everyone was taken care of. Honestly, we did feel a little rushed, the waitress kept asking if we wanted our dessert to go and our drink refills to go when we weren’t even finished our meal. But other than that, it was a very pleasant experience.

    We come here almost every year for my birthday from Ohio to get the crab cake which was great. The waiter was a little slow as there were only four tables occupied but that may have been the kitchen. Prices are really high but understandable with all that’s going on. Still the best cake you can find!

    Our waiter/server Ann definitely helped make our birthday lunch celebration a very happy one. Ann was very attentive to our needs especially with a 2-yr old toddler on hand. For example, she brought the french fries for our toddler ahead of our adult meals so the toddler would not get fussy waiting. Ann made excellent menu suggestions so we were all able to taste a diverse selection of Timbuktu dishes, i.e. the hors d'oeuvres platter.

    it appeared that there were not enough waiters and the lone woman was really stretched and it showed. But, she was wonderful in suggesting menu items. Will be back next month and hope there are more waiters.

    We went to Timbuktu for our daughter’s graduation party. The food was delicious and the atmosphere pleasantly casual. It’s a little expensive - but what restaurant isn’t these days - and our server seemed a bit new to the job. Overall, however, it was a great place to celebrate. We’d go back.

    Didn’t live up to expectations. Advertising and presentation definitely does NOT tell the story of this place. Atmosphere was dark and musty, ceiling tiles were actually missing as if maintenance was ongoing. Not appealing to sit with. World famous Crab cakes weren’t anything special, flavor profile was bland, but it was edible. Service wasn’t exceptional, as a matter of fact, we didn’t feel very important to the server or any other staff in the restaurant. Our appetizer order was never put in, so we didn’t get appetizer service, though we ordered them and the issue was never addressed by the server. Bread had a rubbery flavor, like it was prepared with water from a water hose. Also, tasted a little freezer burn as if the dough was frozen for a while before cooking. Not edible. The burger wasn’t fresh or didn’t seem so, it was dry and under seasoned. Neither person that ordered a burger finished it. I felt a little lied to, because I took friends and family here based on an experience I had here with my company. You pulled out all stops for them, and it was an enjoyable and edible experience. But, when I personally brought my family in you really didn’t come close to meeting expectations. My family was disappointed and so was I. I will likely never eat at or recommend you to anyone again. I take this time to write you because I support local businesses all around this community, I hope you take this feedback and work on your operations. Good luck.

    I ordered my rockfish to be stuffed and served with imperial sauce and I must say it was wonderful. My kids ordered the buffalo wings and they were cold to the touch and not well done. The other guest at the table seemed to enjoy their food though. The wait staff were friendly, so all in all they didn't do a bad job. I would go again!

    Excellent seafood and nice variety of choices. Very good crab cakes. Service was very attentive; our server checked on us just often enough to make sure we were good. Perfect level of attention. This was my second visit and will be on my list for future dining.

    The hostess was very young, inexperienced and responded rather rudely when I requested we be seated in the dining room instead of at the only open bar table next to the kitchen doors. As others have noted, there are no windows. The wood paneling was nice, but it felt more like a club-room than a restaurant, and needed some artwork, accent lighting, and lower main lighting. The silverware was flimsy like school lunchroom. Server was pleasant, but all business. Drinks took a long time to come out and he forgot the diet coke. Our side salads were fresh. There was no bread service. We requested not to have our main course come out while we were eating our appetizers. It arrived while we were only 1/2 way through the crab dip. The dip was not bad albeit a little mild. I ordered the Jewels of the sea. All the items were overcooked and too firm. The crab cake was reasonably flavorful, but had more of a bready and less crab mouthfeel despite there being abundant large pieces of crab-meat visible. The lobster was bland and very disappointing. It had no lobster taste at all and were I blind tasting, I could not have told you it was lobster. I had to request drawn butter. The whipped potatoes were also bland and needed butter and salt. My wife's stuffed lobster was also over cooked, just as bland and was also not served with drawn butter. Our water was never topped off. At one point while waiting on another table, I observed our server yawning while taking an order. He did check in on us 3 times, but never once actually stopped walking and stood at the table. They were literally drive-by check-ins on his way to a back dining room. From which, at one point during our meal, someone hauled a bunch of empty Amazon boxed through our dining room. Clearing of the table across from us was done with the aide of a grey plastic industrial cart. Overall, this is at best an establishment for eating, not dining. Prices were a little high for the service we received.

    The food was not very good. The crab dip was terrible, tasted more cream cheese than anything else. Lobster tail was over cooked. Most likely won’t be going back. The waitress was nice.

    The atmosphere was cold/distant and was not as per usual inviting. The Food was okay but not great. The service was OK, the server was really nice but rushed and seemed overwhelmed, probably from lack of support staff. Overall this visit was disappointing in comparison with our normal Monday Holiday visits.

    The service wasn’t the best and they were not that busy. The young make at the hostess station was wonderful! The young lady was kind of rude but I figured she had a long night or some grouchy customers before us. The food was just alright and for the prices we paid, it wasn’t worth it. I would never recommend this place.

    Monday night lobster special is amazing. I did the 2 lobster dinner and my husband did the porterhouse steak. We split them and both had a wonderful surf and turf dinner at an affordable price. We live in Pennsylvania and made sure our route to North Carolina put us by Timbuktu just we could have dinner there again. We always eat there anytime we pass thru.

    Pretty disappointed at all of the changes at Timbuktu. Prices are exceptionally high now and fitting for a very fancy restaurant-However Timbuktu is anything but fancy.! Well their crabcakes are very good they are certainly not worth $30 and everything else matches that same exorbitant price. The service was fine but nothing special and they took away a lot of their sides that were available even baked potatoes weren’t an option! We hadn’t been for a few years so I feel like this maybe a change in management or related to Covid concerns. But regardless we won’t be going back again since there are too many good options around

    This place used to be a favorite but our most recent experience this week was horrible. Poor food quality, even poorer service with lots of errors, and incredibly overpriced. For example, $28 for chicken alfredo (hold the shrimp due to allergy) is insane. The server brought out that dish with shrimp so of course it had to go back for a refire. Several other dishes were incorrect yet no adjustments made to our large invoice either. No apologies from management or the server. I understand the work shortage but this is a whole new level of low compared to other places. Can't say we'll be returning anytime soon.

    Awesome service but the food was plainly terrible. The restaurant itself reminded me of the old knights of Columbus halls we used to visit in the Bronx. Unfortunately, the food was just not what was expected. The crab cakes were fishy and odd rating, the “whipped” potatoes were dry, French fries were even dry. Also, the price was surprisingly high, especially considering the atmosphere and quality of food. The service, though, was truly great - our waiter was amazing and that alone made the $300 bill (for 2 adults and 2 kids under 16) palatable.

    It was our first dining-in since COVID kept us at home. Grace was a cheerful server; the chef got my steak perfect; my husband truly enjoyed the sampler; the ice tea was great. The only disappointment was there was no baked potato, but the mashed potatoes were fine. Great date night.
