    Ahi Tuna Tacos
    Barry M.

    Ok for years I thought this was a Mexican restaurant. It is not! They have a couple of Mexican items on the menu like Ahi Tuna tacos & a Big Ass Burrito but their focus is smoked meats. The bonus part is it's located right on the water in Madeira Beach. We were lucky to catch the sunset the night we stopped by. And like most beach restaurants/bars it's all open air and has that awesome tiki hut atmosphere. We stated with the Smoked Fish spread which was awesome and what made it unique was they had capers, onion, jalapeños and of course saltines crackers. We added the "angry" relish and that took it up a heat notch. I had the "PEPPER'S FAMOUS BEEF BRISKET" with the black beans & rice & Broccoli salad as the sides. The meat wasn't the "melt in your mouth" level I was hoping for but the flavor was great and it was very tender. I loved the broccoli salad, it was very flavorful and thick, unlike any kind I'd had before. My wife did the Ahi Tuna Tacos and loved them. The cool thing was the tacos came with hot sauce, soy sauce & and a wasabi aoli. The tuna was rare and had been sesame coated. Great flavor. The bartenders and staff were super friendly and brought the food out quick.

    True Score: 3.5 Stars BBQ near the water, can't complain. This place has a divey local sports bar kind of vibe which is not usually my first choice of places to go and eat. But their menu is better than your typical bar food menu, thanks in part to their smoker out back. If you like that smokey flavor, there are many options to satisfy your taste, (and many others if you don't). Wings have a delicious smokey flavor beneath some fun sauce choices. Nachos are loaded..(the way nachos should be!) We get the added shredded meat (which also adds that smoke flavor) but even without it, they are loaded with chii, cheese, tomatoes, etc. to make them flavorful. No naked chips here! Add in some ice cold beer and you can't lose. Not the best bbq, but you have to understand the area that you are visiting. Thanks

    We were looking for a late night meal & we ended up here. There's a good variety of food to choose from. I went for the nacho appetizer-added pulled pork & shrimp tacos. The nachos had all the toppings perfectly covered, and the added pulled pork was delicious. I really enjoyed the 3 shrimp tacos. They were grilled and seasoned perfectly. The hot sauce on the table was spicy hot! Our service was friendly and quick. Prices are average about $15 for a meal. There's a full bar & a few TVs on the walls.

    Food was very good! Service was fantastic! They are old school waitresses that know the customers and always checking on you! They have Buzz Time Trivia! And the choice of music was great for this Gen X gal!!!

    Hand Pattied Burger??!
    Jeff D.

    Part of this is my fault. I visited the other location in Seminole and had their bbq and it wasn't great. This location boasted a lot of fish. I should've gotten the fish but didn't and that was clearly my mistake. I decided to go with their burger as they boasted on their menu "Everyone claims to have the best burger.. but they get theirs here!" So I ordered it angry style with their relish. I find it real hard to believe it fresh ground beef, hand-pattied. It was more like a frozen burger. I was hungry ate a majority of it but it was beyond disappointing. I did like that spicy relish. I did sweet potato fries. I think next I need to try the fish or just not eat there and have drinks. Parking is limited and the staff were very friendly.

    We checked out Angry Pepper earlier this week, and we absolutely loved it. The food was delicious and very reasonably priced. I ended up ordering 12 black and shrimp. You can pick from various sauces on the side, and I would recommend the sweet and tangy shrimp sauce that goes with it. Shrimp: 8.8 Scale system 10/10 would be what I want for my last meal 9.9-9.3 driving out of my way to get this 9.2-8.0 like the place and would go back 7.9-7.0 I would come here again if it were presented and don't have anything bad to say 6.9 and below - thanks but no thanks after trying once

    sweet potato waffle fries, so worth the upgrade. broccoli salad was tasty too.

    Craving BBQ on Madeira Beach? Angry Pepper Waterside hit the spot! We split the 3-meat plate - tender brisket, pulled pork with their Boner Gold sauce, and smoked chicken with hot BBQ sauce (so good). The real MVPs? The Angry Pepper appetizer (fresh jalapeños stuffed with cheesy bacon bliss spicy but amazing!) and the sweet potato fries... absolute star of the sides. Great service, fun vibe, and food worth coming back for.

    The Wing Thing

    I was extremely disappointed!! I looked at the menu beforehand and wanted to try their wings. "Size matters" right? The 1 lb of wings was a JOKE! THEY WERENT EVEN WINGS! MORE LIKE CHICKEN NUGGETS!!! The sauces weren't the best either, I only ate them cause I was hungry but I would never come back. Seriously though, $17 for this???? I definitely left there "ANGRY" 0 stars in my opinion...wish I could get my money back

    Ribs and brisket.  Was not good
    Jeff R.

    Pulled in on the boat today and the smell of the smoker got my attention. Decided on the brisket sandwich. It was piled high with just a little sauce on it. Served perfectly. My impression has greatly changed from my last visit 9 years ago. This was most likely the best brisket I have had from a restaurant. I will for sure continue to visit.

    I absolutely love this place! Lots of yummy drinks, delicious food and the people are great! For appetizers, the Angry Trio, Jalapeño Bottle Caps, Buffalo Chicken Dip, and Spicy Bonsai Shrimp - blackened. So delicious, every single time. For mains...all the smoked food is delicious, pulled pork, brisket, ribs, chicken sliders...you can't go wrong. We love the big ass burrito in a bowl, the grilled shrimp dinner, blackened. The Mac and cheese is a delicious side...waffle fries are fantastic, honestly, all the sides are great...these are just our favorites! Tons of beer on tap, tropical drinks and delicious Coke!

    Where can you park if the lot is full?

    You could park at the Publix about a block away but don't tell them I told you! 😝

    Are non-service Dogs allowed?

    Not such a great place for dogs. Well I love this bar and frequently go there, I’m not sure that I’ve ever seen a dog there and I’m not sure it would be a good place for one.

When we get into town, they're always our first stop for lunch. They have a pretty extensive menu of options, but our go to is the fried grouper sandwich with American cheese and no lettuce or tomato. Our other go to is the lobster roll. Now this go around we did notice the lobster was more shredded than it was chunks which is what we've seen previously so that was a bit of a change, but overall, it was still good. We've had the onion rings before but this go round we decided to share a side of french fries and we did ask for them crispy. They were perfect. Be prepared to wait though as this location is super small and if you come during a busy season or around that lunchtime period you're most likely going to have to wait. This is not a great location for large groups. If you have more than five people in your group this is probably not the best location for you as they cannot seat more than one large group at a time. But, one thing we did notice is that you can walk up and order to go. That's a great option to have and something we may take advantage of in the future.

When the host came out, she stated that she needed to "clear the area." While we understand the need to manage space, the request was directed at us and was delivered in an unpleasant, dismissive tone. She then said there would be about a 25-minute wait and that there were parties ahead of us, which we understood and accepted. However, we were later told that despite being on the list, we would not be seated because there was "no way to contact us" when our turn came and that we needed to remain in one specific spot. Given that no instructions or staff were present when we arrived, this explanation was confusing and felt inconsistent. The interaction gave the clear impression that we were not welcome to wait or dine there, so we chose to leave. Dining out should feel respectful and inclusive, and unfortunately, that was not our experience here.

Well-versed on the menu and a very pleasant lady. It's certainly not a fancy place and it looks like it's been around for a while, but it's the kind of place where you might like to hang out at the bar. Everyone there seems to be friendly and you get that comfortable feeling. We had a variety of food items, some better than others but nothing below average. Really good salads, as you can see by the pictures, a nice job on the chicken wings, a BLT that was pretty tasty; the butternut squash soup was OK, pretty thick and not hot at all. One was returned to the kitchen to be heated up. There was a chicken dip that really didn't hit the spot, and the tortilla chips that came with it seem to be past their prime. As for the fried mushrooms. I found them pretty much ordinary. A nice surprise were the brussels sprouts with balsamic and goat cheese. Really really good. Overall, I would give the food about a 3 1/2 stars at the service five stars so what averages out around four stars. Like I said it looks like a nice place to hang around and have a couple of beverages and a little something to eat.

We came here one night for drinks and after seeing the menu knew we had to come back for a meal. The food looked so amazing and it was very hard to choose which option to go with. For the app we had the crab Rangoon dip and the Midwesterner in me was missing my cheese so we also had the Wisconsin cheese curds. The cheese curds were pretty classic and the Parmesan cheese on top added a nice twist. The crab dip... I'm drooling just thinking about it. If you like crab you need to get that app. For the meal, I had the Surf and Turf with coconut shrimp. Sweet Mary was I glad I did. The steak was cooked to absolute perfection and the coconut shrimp with spicy Thai sauce was so good. The shrimp had the perfect crunch while the shrimp themselves were tender. They also have a wide variety of drinks and beers which was nice to try some new things. I do also want to do a shout out to Robert who was our waiter. He was phenomenal! Orders perfectly taken, he was polite yet had some fun and laughs with us, and was very patient when a couple people in our group were "picky" eaters. While he had several tables he was serving he was always right there if he noticed our waters or drinks being close to empty. Food will make people talk, but food and service will bring people back. The food was top notch and the service was some of the best in town. I'll admit, we were hungry and I forgot pictures of the actual food... the desserts (S'Mores Brownie Sundae and the Key Like Pie) were also amazing.
