This place came up on my FB feed while scrolling. Ad caught my attention with the weekend specials…read more We drove over tonight to give it a try. We ordered the shot honey grouper sandwich, bang bang shrimp fries, fried shrimp and grouper bites. Three were weekend specials for $9.99. That price and quality cannot be beat! The hot honey grouper was awesome. Very nice filet of grouper with hot honey on it. Sweet, spicy and freshly cooked. 10/10. Fries were freshly fried and had a nice seasoning. Great meal. My son had the grilled grouper bites. They were cooked perfectly and he devoured them. 2 thumbs up! Other son had the shrimp basket. Fried shrimp were juicy and crispy. Not over battered. Great taste and another 2 thumbs up. Bang bang shrimp fries were really good. Not hot but had great flavor. Fries had a ton of bacon and that yummy sauce drizzled over them. Would get again. 9/10. Easy to find, plenty of parking. Nice outdoor area with about 6 tables. Service was friendly and quick. Price was great for fresh seafood. We drove about 30 minutes and it was worth the drive!

So there is a seafood food truck in the parking lot called "Ruskin Seafood Shack", I think they are…read moreowned by the same owner. My wife & I wanted seafood, mainly fish and this business is now open on Tuesdays which is great. Most of the seafood places in the area only open Thursdays through Saturday. So my wife wanted grilled grouper, and she said it was prepared perfectly. She said that it wasn't overly seasoned and that it tasted fresh. She liked the red potatoes and said that next time she'd do a double order of them. We also go a pound of bay scallops which were delicious. Not overly seasoned and cooked perfectly. I had the fish & chips and I received two nice size pieces of cod, it wasn't overly battered or seasoned and it was very fresh. I also got red potatoes and fries but I'd also double up on the potatoes or get a side of corn. The scallops were abundant and a half order would been sufficient. If they had hush puppies it would be perfect. The customer service "Dustin" was amazing. He was friendly, knowledgeable and very helpful with my order today. The prices are fair and the food was very hot. I live 20 minutes away and when I got home it was still scorching hot. I strongly recommend this business and I'll return here again real soon.

The Fish House is my favorite fried fish ever, and no matter how many years I have been coming…read morehere, the quality never dips! I love the vibes: outside, picnic tables, summer heat. The service is always friendly and the food is truly made to order because it comes out steaming, burn your mouth hot every time! It's always cooked to perfection. It never disappoints. I have recently been getting the hogfish and shrimp combo, and I'm obsessed. Even after years of living in FL, I had never tried hogfish. One day, a couple months ago, I went for it. Light, perfect texture, flaky, mild, and sweet. The Fish House lightly breads everything in the most delicate way. I've always loved this place, but this fish somehow elevated my love of this spot! I feel like I never talk about how amazing their cornbread is. Light and airy with the perfect touch of sweetness. Either way, I'm clearly a fan. They have limited hours, so check their hours before you go.

Neon Bud Light signs buzz like angry hornets, keeping time with some golf tournament droning on a TV screen. There's a skeleton dressed up like a bartender holding a plastic cup, which is about as honest as the service gets. ​I sat down at a lightly sticky table with my dog. I snagged the perfect table upon the disembarking of the sloppy family with thrir soda splasung dloppy mannerisms. They let me hide Iris under the table. That big, brown hound of mine. Parked underneath the food and drink, looking at me with more loyalty than any woman I ever knew. I ordered a drink that came in a glass tall enough to drown your sorrows in, topped with a lime slice that had seen better decades. The menu offered up everything from gator bites to oysters, standard grease-trap poetry to line the stomach before the booze takes over. ​Outside, the world keeps spinning in its pathetic, sunny circle. Inside, you just sit there with your glass, listening to the ice melt, wondering how the hell you ended up in a joint named after a reptile in the middle of nowhere. ​It's not much, but it's a chair, it's cold, and nobody's asking you any questions. Four stars. Pour another one. ​

Got into town and was starving! This place popped up as places near me so we decided to give it a…read moretry. Great idea, thanks Yelp! First impression was a little suspect because it's clearly a house turned restaurant/bar. Once we got inside though, I loved the charm of it. There are different rooms you walk through and they have it all set up with tables and chairs....all different kinds so it's a modge podge of tables. Then there are cool chandeliers over the tables and bar signs everywhere. Our waitress was a new implant to Florida and she was super sweet and helpful. She also made a mean vodka tonic! Ok so let's get to the food. First we ordered the Fried Alligator Bites and the Fried Green Tomatoes as appetizers and they were both delicious! The alligator wasn't super chewy and the voodoo sauce was banging! I went with the Shrimp and Grits and sheesh I was blown away! I loved the texture and the taste of the grits. They had just the right amount of cheese and the shrimp were cooked perfectly! The hubby got the Grouper Tacos and he said they were good but a little dry. He wished they had some more toppings...either sauce or pico de gallo. My daughter got the mussel pasta. She loved the mussels but was disappointed by the penne pasta. She wished it was a bit saucier as it only had a lemony/wine liquid that wasn't sticking to the pasta. All in all this place was good. We will go at least once more since it's by where we're staying and I want to try a couple more things on the menu.

Service was pretty good, our server was very friendly and helpful, but they seemed to be pretty busy so he didn't come around too much (which we also appreciated, as it was just enough space and attention). Food was better than I expected! All of the dishes were well-cooked and flavorful, the drinks (mango margarita) were a bit strong but loved, and nothing was too salty or too bland. We started with a dozen oysters which were very fresh and slightly chewy (different from northern oysters that I usually have), then had the cod, crab cakes, and snapper, all with well-paired sauces and great sides (the snapper was slightly overcooked). Everyone got complimentary sunset shots as the sun was dipping towards the horizon, and we finished off with a giant slice of key lime pie (that we couldn't quite fit in so we took back because it was too good to waste). Overall good experience and will definitely be back to try more!

I hate to rate them this low. However, my grouper was cool, not lukewarm, but cool. The Grouper was…read morerather dry, and that was frustrating. I tasted more filling than crab in my small crabcake. The veggies were cool. However, the sauce was rather tasty. My wife had a similar experience. I also ordered the Key Lime. If you've seen many of my hundreds of reviews, I love me some Key Lime. Look, I became hungry just thinking about a slice. Regrettably, this Key Lime was disappointing in taste. The rather larger crust could've been outstanding, but alas, it too was plain. My daughter enjoyed her chicken salad but didn't like the salty fries. My mother-in-law didn't believe her Snapper meal was Snapper. She said it was moist. Yet, she said it was okay. Disclaimer: The Server was great, but she was taking care of a group of 14 people. The people who came out to help her deliver the food were ok. We asked several times whether the "Catch of the Day" was the Flounder. We were repeatedly told, "No." It was. Consequently, those who ordered it also had cooler food. I believe those issues contributed to the food temperature. This place came highly recommended. In short, I wasn't pleased with paying $164 for three mediocre meals. I encourage you to try them out. I plan on taking my wife back there on August 27 to give them another chance. I'm certain it'll be much better.

This place is all outdoor seating with plenty of space and a nice casual atmosphere. Service was very attentive and personable and food came out promptly. Ordered the Onion Rings which were pretty good with had more onion than batter which I prefer and the Oyster Po Boy with Parmesan fries. Both orders were good but since I'm judging this spot as a Cajun spot; it could benefit from more seasoning which is a shame because the cook on these items were excellent; fried to perfection!
