We ordered the seafood platter deep fried which ended up being a mess. The shrimp were chewy and there was barely anything of any item. Nothing was seasoned and the crab cake while full of crab was dry. The shellfish trio was the best item ordered that had plenty of scallops, shrimp, and crab meat. The pesto cream sauce was serviceable but the dish is average at best. We had two different daily specials, the mojo yellowfin tuna and the Parmesan crusted triggerfish. The mojo yellowfin tuna was cooked well enough, with it being mostly raw in the center, but lacked really any flavor and a tad bit overcooked on one side. It was served over some rice, beans, and a fruit salad. Off combination and not great. There was a side of what tasted like boiled unseasoned zucchini/squash. Abysmal side and a terrible dish, but not even the worst dish. The Parmesan encrusted triggerfish was the worst dish I've ever been served. The dish even from its conception is poorly designed as it has way too much Parmesan. Usually for a Parmesan encrusted dish there would be about an 80/20 split of breadcrumbs to Parmesan, however this dish was almost all Parmesan likely 10/90 of breadcrumbs to Parmesan. The overwhelming flavor of Parmesan was the only thing you can taste and totally masked the triggerfish. The worst part was while half of the fish was fine the other half had something terribly wrong with it. Instead of being flakey the other half was rubbery and chewy and tasted nothing like fish. This rancid half could barely be cut with a knife and made us sick. This was also served with a side of unseasoned squash just to make it even worse. The strawberry rhubarb pie and chocolate pecan pie were both fine but didn't amaze. With everything being so terrible food wise the restaurant is even worse with every entree being over $30 and the acoustics were terrible. The whole place is so loud when it's a full house and you have to scream to talk to someone at your table. The prices present a high quality meal but I wouldn't even pay fast food prices.

Bartender Jeremy provided excellent service as well. Drinks were fantastic. I didnt catch anyone else's names but I did not receive bad service from anyone there. These two employees just really stood out. The karaoke DJ also was cool too!

That being said, the price is reasonable and the drinks are decent. We arrived early because we thought maybe we would beat the crowd but no such luck. At 5 o'clock the main dining area inside was full and humming along. Luckily, they have some outdoor picnic tables on the front porch. It'd be nice to have some fans out there to keep the bugs away, but they weren't unbearable. No mosquitoes mostly flies. We ordered crab legs, oysters, peel and eat shrimp, and scallops. The hush puppies were outstanding the food arrived quickly and hot. If you're looking for a traditional seafood sauce or cocktail sauce, be prepared: there's more horseradish than ketchup in their cocktail sauce. I added a little bit more ketchup to mine, but boy was it good and it made me sweat! It was clear our Server was very busy, but that did not mean we weren't attended to with frequent check-in. It makes me sad that I waited so long to come to Pop's Raw Bar, but I am a fan and I will be back.

Waitress was friendly. We ate on the picnic table outside. We were told there were specials and we could go look at the sign inside to see and take a picture but it was "too much" for them to have to tell us. This is the kind of place you could probably go without kids and get good food quick if you had a small number in your party. If you're looking for a nicer place, I would recommend the Mad Crabber. Crab cake was better at Pops though. However the food was great at both places.

Everyone loved their meal and commented on the generous portion sizes. Those of us who ordered the crab dishes were especially impressed by how much crab was included--they definitely don't skimp! From the food to the service, everything was excellent. We would absolutely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great dinner, generous portions, and a fun atmosphere.
