This is my second visit to this great little restaurant. Visited a few weeks ago and had an…read moreexcellent experience. So, why review again? Experiences can be one-offs that aren't truly representative of the restaurant. You place your order at a station right at the entrance. They bring your food to your table. One note: you pour your own coffee (or tea in my case) at the coffee bar. Nothing fancy, with plastic ware, styrofoam cups and baskets for your food. But, as in my previous visit, the service was excellent. The girl taking your order is always pleasant and helpful and she will visit you during your meal to make sure everything is ok. I decided to try a different dish. This time I ordered the Taylor Ham and egg "hoagie" (they call it "pork roll" which means they come from south Jersey). In addition to my hoagie I also ordered a cinnamon roll. The delightfully fresh bread hoagie comes jam packed with two eggs and plenty of Taylor Ham. I ordered my eggs over easy to assure plenty of yolk and that's exactly how it arrived. Be forewarned, the sandwich is big (my brother took 1/2 home) so make sure you leave plenty of room or better still share with your guest. As mentioned, I also wanted to try their jumbo cinnamon roll which I had passed on, on my previous visit. The server asked if I wanted the cinnamon roll grilled. I chose to have it heated and buttered (via microwave), which threw a curve at my server who had obviously never had that request before however, it came out exactly as I had requested. A warm, moist cinnamon roll with melted butter provides the perfect salty/sweet balance that made this a delight to eat. Although full from our sandwiches, we couldn't stop until we demolished that jumbo cinnamon roll! The bottom line: As with all my reviews my "customer so what" ... would I come back? Since this is my second visit in the span of two weeks, the answer is obvious... absolutely.

Yuck. I wanted a simple sub so I decided to stop in, they were very busy during the lunch rush but…read moreI ordered and waited. I got a ham and turkey with provolone on a sub roll, mayo lettuce and oil and vinegar, bag of chips and a drink... $17! Insane price for a sandwich lunch, but I was hopeful that it would be worth it. When I got back to my office I opened my sandwich and it was soaking wet, so much that the bottom was falling out. It had tomatoes, which fine I'll pick them off, but hardly any lettuce and gobs of mayonnaise. After opening it up, there was one slice of ham and one slice of turkey as far as the meat goes and no provolone which I had asked for. The entire sandwich was soaked with mayonnaise and oil and vinegar, in excessive amounts and was inedible. I picked out the couple slices of meat and the rest away. Not worth the price.

Anyway we were hypnotized by the orchestra of people working in there. The food was really good: snapper, chicken kabobs and fried chicken. I've seen the other reviews and we had no problems with temperature and quality. The only complaint: we ordered fries and there was just too many of them. :). Do be aware portions are big. This is the kind of place I'd go to often if I lived here. I forgot to take pictures!

We dined at this restaurant with a group of friends. For appetizers my bride had the mussels and I…read morehad the French pinion soup. For our entrees, I had the seafood platter, my bride had the shrimp scampi. Finally for dessert we shared a slice of the caramel cheesecake. THE ATMOSPHERE: The restaurant is on the water with bar seating and white cloth table dining in several rooms. If you're looking for seaside dining Pirates Cove will suite you fine. THE FOOD: Our appetizers... My French onion soup was made like a traditional French onion soup with plenty of melted cheese and oodles of onions. There were plenty of mussels bathed in a delicious white wine and butter base for my brides mussels appetizer. Our entrees... My seafood platter featured a small serving of white fish, which was nice and juicy, two small stuffed shrimp, which were quite tasty, two scallops made properly (not under cooked and slimy or overcooked and rubbery). My brides shrimp scampi featured 5 small shrimp over a bed of linguine. The dish was well made with hints of garlic and butter in the balanced cream sauce. The dessert: Our caramel cheesecake dessert was creamy and rich. THE SERVICE: It's always a challenge for a server to serve large parties, but our server did great. Delivered our drinks in a timely fashion watched over us for any needed refills and clearly explained any questions we had. THE BOTTOM LINE: As always with my reviews, the "customer so what" would I return is complicated for the Pirates Cove. My answer... probably not. Why not if the food was prepared properly, the ambiance was fitting for a seafood restaurant and the service was fine? The answer lies in serving size, price and add on charges. I don't mind paying premium prices for a premium meal but Pirates Cove charged $40 for a seafood platter that should more realistically be called a seafood sampling. At $36 My wife's shrimp scampi should have featured large shrimp instead of the small shrimp she received. And, finally, the add on prices which included a 3% service charge and a whopping 21% tip. I don't mind tipping heavily for good service and our server would have probably gotten 25% if it was my choice. However, I HATE having a restaurant dictate what I'll tip! I understand mandatory tipping for a large party but I've never seen it set at 21%! As for the service charge, it was placed on every bill whether you paid with a credit card or not. One of my guests asked if that was a credit card fee (which I hate as well) and was told if he paid cash, our servers would take that fee off. How many people didn't know enough to ask that question, and end up paying that fee when paying with cash?? I hate underhanded trickery like that and discourage it by not returning. In summary you'll have to ask yourself before dining at Pirates Cove, is the food, ambiance and service quality worth the rest? If it is, enjoy. As for me, I'll skip it. There are too many other great seafood places that will provide quality dining, great service and atmosphere without the unwelcome luggage included.

Went to have something simple on a Friday Night and the South Stuart Duffy's;s was near empty. Uh-oh. Looked at the new menus and they looked newly redesigned. My wife opted for the Shrimp Tacos and there followed some detailed guidance from our waiter Daniel M. explaining the specifics of the different available sauces ( my spouse is very careful re this subject ) , and when the tacos were served, his advice turned out to be spot on. Home run for that dinner. I had ordered the Grilled Chicken sandwich which was absolutely full of a thick hunk of chicken breast, bacon, tomato, lettuce, cheese and had a separate serving of additional sauce from the one already in the sandwich. Forgot to mention the Broccoli/cheddar soup to start, which was just really well balanced and delicioso. It appears that Duffy's had done some very effective work in addressing previous shortcomings, because this visit will have us returning as regulars.
