    Bar
    Chrissy A.

    Went here for dinner one night with a group of at least 10 (maybe 11). There were a lot of large parties but we ordered drinks from the bar until a table was ready. It really didn't seem like it took too long. The inside was decorated like a typical seafood house. Kinda cheesy but very colorful and very fun. The wait staff was very nice and seemed to know what they were doing. My husband and I ordered the Captains Platter which I believe was about $40...that may seem like a lot but we split it and were plenty full by the time we left. Our food came out in a timely matter and everyone seemed to enjoy what they order. The drinks were tasty as well. Overall, this was one of the better establishments on this week at Surfside. If we ever come back, I will try this place again!

    Service was on point, but I was little disappointed in the food. The serving was plentiful but the clam strips seemed a little chewy and heavy. However the fries were delicious. It has the feel of a beach place and would be fun in season. In the off season with few customers it comes off as a little sad. The utensils are plastic which is something I typically avoid.

    Food is good and reasonable prices. Lots of fried seafood and some blackened or baked. Served promptly and pleasantly by Shay. Neat decor and patrons sign the walls and fish etc hanging from the ceiling and walls. Large portions so come hungry.

    Boy were we lucky....we went off season on a rainy day and got right in!!! First time there and it was clear that this is the place to go if you want seafood!! The food was quality and tasty! The baked beans were the best I ever had! The fried catfish exceptional; hush puppies were moist and flavorful, homemade crap cakes top-notch and even the coleslaw was delicious!! Service was friendly and down to earth! My husband was happy because it was the first place he could get a PBR!!
