Steph G.

Typical bar food and decent service. Have been here multiple times since I live nearby. The calamari was pretty good! Decent wings, good fries and ok on the shrimp tacos. Priced nicely compared to other restaurants on the mile Update - I really enjoy coming here. I have a newborn and it's nice to sit inside during the week but still get the outdoor feel for lunch. Really love the staff and have had multiple items on the menu. The salads with grilled chicken are all delicious as well as the nachos

Tiny container of $4 guacamole looked like green mayo with tomatoes.
Bryana S.

The place is in a great location however the food is extremely mediocre. I had the soft shell crab sandwich, it was decent. Nachos are pretty good but the $4 guacamole was a weird texture and not the best. Do not order the Gouda Mac and cheese! It's really bad. On top of the terrible Mac and cheese, when it was brought to the attention of the manager he insulted my guests and I by asking if we've ever had Gouda. Little does he know, I have a culinary degree and have been in the hospitality industry for 10 years now so I felt completely disrespected. That's not how you address unsatisfied customers. I won't be back.

$12 glass of ice? Never again
Rich S.

If I could I would give zero stars 15 minutes before the 1st person came up to us. 15 minutes to get the drinks. 24 bucks for 2 glasses of ice Great location John taffer would have a field day with this place

My brother decided on nautical mile for lunch. He mentioned a new restaurant so I figured why not. Upon arriving, I realized I've been here before under different name and management. Friendly staff. Service decent. Food needs improvement. This is a area/destination known for seafood. Crab cakes: too much fillers not crispy. Too soft Pasta: too much sauce!!! And the chicken cutlets was cut again the grain making it tough to chew Calamari: decent but not completely breaded

Fish tacos

Came in here with my family from out of town and we couldn't have been happier! The food was fantastic and our server Jasmine was one of the best we've ever had! She was so friendly and fun.

Grilled Cheese Sandwich with French Fries

This is a new addition to the constantly changing bar scene on Freeport's Nautical Mile. I have been here 3 times this season and have enjoyed myself most of my visits . The owners have been on location every time, so I imagine they have a vested interest in making it a success. I liked that they had an IPA from the new local Brewsa Brewing Company on tap. I also loved the loaded grilled cheese sandwich on rustic bread with bacon and tomato. I found the prices of food and drink to be fair. Halfway Down has drink specials Monday thru Thursday and live music Thursday thru Sunday. Unfortunately, the band last Sunday afternoon was not very good and many of the patrons ( including us) left after the first set. However, I see real potential at this bar and grill and look forward to seeing them get there!

The JT's Blackened Cod

First of all the bartender Kathy, also known as Kitty KAY is the ABSOLUTE truth!! She's very generous with the liquor her customer service was off the charts. You can tell that you're receiving genuine energy. As to the food, I ordered fried calamari and the Blackened Cob (Kathy's suggestion). My food was outstandingly delicious! I definitely would recommend this place over and over again!

Macarrones and cheese

You can't beat the seafood corn chowder. Had it again last weekend with a grilled tomato cheese bacon sandwich. Amazing.

Attended Pride event. Worst shrimp tacos ever. Undercooked. Slimy. Way too much cilantro. Gross.
