That being said, parking around here is generally not great and make sure you look out for a few scattered no parking signs! Wait staff was friendly and very helpful, although a little bit slow to get us our food it seemed. Getting to the food though, we had the soft pretzel, beef nachos, and mozzarella sticks to start. Nothing that would blow your socks off, but good quality bar snacks for sure. As for dinner I had their signature which is LARGE and IN CHARGE while my girlfriend had the all dya egg sandwich, each with a side of fries. I think everything could have used a bit more salt, and that is coming from someone with a salt sensitive pallete, but also shockingly, I think the oddball of the egg sandwich was actually the star of the show, but maybe that is just the Long Islander in me talking. Although I just stuck to tried and true coors light, the cocktails looked good and didn't skimp on the pours, which is always a plus. The real attraction of this place though is the nautical charm right along the canal. Hell, if you have a boat, you can even dock right on the premise and likely have a better shot of finding a spot there than on the street for your car. The vibe was chill with some live music playing too, but not too loud where you wouldn't be able to just chat with friends comfortably. Definitely a place I'd look to come back to for hanging out, especially if you've got a nice day on your hands.

We spent Friday the 13th at RipTides listening to the live band Wicked Games…read more We'd never been before and loved it. It reminds me of a beach bar in Myrtle Beach or Panama City. Very laidback and the decor is relaxing. Mostly an older crowd and the place was packed. We got a seat next to friends quickly. We weren't that hungry so we just ordered mozzarella sticks and the grilled pesto chicken sandwich, which me and my husband split. We upgraded to beer battered onions rings. Everything was delicious and the sandwich was huge! I initially thought the prices were a bit high but given the portion sizes, it was well worth it. I also got a free beer for signing up for the rewards club, which was a nice bonus. In all, im sure we will be back.

The service is always very personable, and my boyfriend absolutely loves this place; he talked about the Gilgo Inn all throughout the off-season when we first met before I finally got the chance to visit with him. They're cash only, but they have an ATM ($3 service fee). All the seating is outside, but there's a TV inside as well as framed photos of how the place used to look, including some shots of it submerged in water following a storm some years back. The coffee is good, and the drinks are alright and won't break the bank. I think the cocktails were around $10 apiece. There are proper bathrooms across the parking lot, too.

The best part about this place was the DJ! I think he's there on Fridays. If so, I highly recommend coming on a Friday night. Not sure what happens on other nights. While all of the servers were very friendly, the actual service was scattered. We had multiple different people tending to us and it was a bit all over the place. The food was meehhh. Not terrible but not great. We came at around 11. So maybe I'll come earlier and on a different to see what the experience is like.

The owner was our server and she was very sweet and welcoming. She gave us a rundown of the menu and everything she described sounded amazing, however the food did not live up to the hype - the portions were small, and the flavor was lacking. We ordered a round of drinks - which also fell flat. Not 1 person ordered 2nd drink - after my appetizer (jerk chicken wontons) I wasn't interested in anything else. Someone ordered a skirt steak entree which was so small - the prices def don't match portion sizes - hate this is a neighborhood spot that I'll probably never go to again

The beach vibe is exactly what I was looking for . Dinner service was pretty busy but the waiter was very good . The manager came to check in during the meal as well. The food was ok .

Went to the Surf Shack strictly to see a band that was playing that weekday evening ( Tuesday )…read more Immediately found seating and with ample time before the band started playing went to the bar for drinks. Although the beer selection was extremely limited ( all canned beer BTW) the specialty drinks were very good ( recommend the blackberry vodka lemonade). Bartenders are friendly and attentive but slightly overwhelmed ( may be a staffing issue many establishments are facing). Taking a chance on food ( based on some earlier comments from friends and Yelpers) tried the chicken tenders and lobster roll. I'll admit I was pleasantly surprised tenders were crunchy and the lobster was generously portioned and very good. The fries aren't Mickie D's fries but decent. Food ordering is done at the kitchen window with a beeper notification system. There are folks roaming about the seating area cleaning tables so one can focus on listening to the live music. Ample parking although the lot fills up fast especially with all the volleyball games being played on the beach . However there's a small dirt area thats available to Surf Shack customers located on the right when you enter the lot. Overall great drinks, though expensive, but the food is reasonably priced with nice portions. Check their website for daily specials and future upcoming events.

I didn't know what to expect but the place was bigger than I thought. All food you order from a counter and pick any table to sit at. The prices of the food was higher than I thought considering the quality of the food. The live band was supposed to start at 7pm but they didn't come on until closer to 7:40pm. The band played some classic rock songs but the singer was wearing a face mask so the sound wasn't the best. When I say face mask I don't mean a hospital mask but a costume mask. I ordered the steak sandwich medium but came out well done. They only put 2 small thin slices for $18. I ordered the pineapple spicy margarita which was $16. It tasted good but they didn't remove the seeds from the jalapeño they put in the drink so as you drink you got the seeds as well. It's a nice atmosphere but overall felt disappointing. I wouldn't return.

My order was served hot, crispy, and seasoned well. A great place, with a young staff who are pleasant to interact with. There are plenty of seating options to enjoy listening to music and taking in the palm trees and sun. They also serve a very good Mudslide at the bar. My husband and I will definitely be hitting them up before the summer ends. Plan your visit early because the parking lot does get packed after 3 and goes into an overflow situation.

My fiancé and I came here for lunch after our original choice was closed for a private event…read more We were the only ones there and it did take some time for our appetizer to come out. We had fried cheese which was described as "Crispy, Halloumi-Style Queso Freir, Topped with Tomato, Jalapeños, & Hot Agave." It was good, but not "blow me away" good. It came with 4 pieces, so not really enough to share with a large group. For my tacos I had the crispy pumpkin, sesame chicken and spicy pork. Out of the 3, the crispy pumpkin was my favorite. The sesame chicken and spicy pork were "basic" speciality tacos and nothing about them really set them apart from other establishments offering the same. The crispy pumpkin though...so unique and had great flavor. My fiancé had Ruby's signature bowl and added chorizo. He enjoyed it and it was a very generous portion. Service was decent.

Always checking to see if our glasses needed to be filled or just seeing if we were still vibing. The music played is my type of tunes. Punk, Rock, and Emo... How could you go wrong?? Also the deco is raw, edgy and yet still welcoming. Surly a place you could chill for hours. They have a wide selection of beers on tap, and specialty drinks. And the food.. The food is of 5star quality. The shredded beef taco was seriously one of the best tacos I have ever had the pleasure of eating and the fried pickled jalapeños were surprisingly amazing. Far beyond what I expected... If you're in the area, I 100% say stop on in! You won't be disappointed!!

We ordered the seafood tower to start. What a mistake. Several clams and oysters were destroyed while trying to open them, they were opened several hours prior to serving them and shriveled to nothing. A cold lobster that also was dried and tasteless. The several shrimp were fresh and good. The worst seafood tower ever. $65 of wasteful spending I went again to this restaurant by boat on Labor Day 2026. A musician was playing, the weather was great, the scenery was perfect, sadly the food was tasteless. I started out with baked clams, 6 clam shells with bread crumbs. I did not chew on any pieces of chopped clams. $24.00 for 6 clams that the breadcrumbs barely covered the shells was atrocious.
