There's ample street parking and easy entry points. The bar is huge! It takes up nearly half of the restaurant and has great views of the bay. The food is good with generous portions. We both ordered the fish fry, mine with a bit of Cajun seasoning. The fish is prepared in fork-friendly bites and was very tasty. The batter was light and stayed crispy until it was all gone. I'm not one to rave about coleslaw but it is good here. It has the perfect crunch and isn't over-dressed (I don't enjoy soggy, wet slaw). Lots of local taps as well, perfect for all of that food. But it's the service, namely Sylvia (Trixie) that makes this a solid stop. She was hustling, greeting everyone, busing food and dishes, all while singing along with the bar playlist. She checked with every table as she went along, never letting anyone feel forgotten or overlooked. As the crowd thinned she had a few minutes to chat with us - she's a friendly ball of energy and an asset to Skipper's. We'd come back and sit in her section anytime!

Nice place inside, we went about 6pm on a Friday night, fairly busy, but not loud. I bet this place is packed after dark with a rowdy bunch.

My companion had the worst ribeye steak of her life, really low quality meat cooked with no sear at all, barely edible. Cheese balls were as good as any, nothing special, but if you like fries cheese curds, go for it. Was a little caught off guard they only accept cash, they have an atm.
