    Delicious! Meat was tender. Chips and salsa homemade. I would recommend. Prices about the same as other Mexican restaurants in the area.

    total disappointment. overpriced, below mediocre food, awful service. 0/10 would not recommend, and definitely won't be going back here.

I tried the catfish and the fries and they were both phenomenal! Perfectly crispy catfish and incredibly tasty! Solid portions too! I got my crab and shrimp combo I think it was missing an egg- not sure if that comes with the other crab combo? I absolutely recommend the liquid gold and in fact you should treat yourself to extra liquid gold! The crab and shrimp combo is a fabulous portion it always makes more than one meal for me! If you choose to eat in just prepare to do a lot of cleaning because you will probably chowing on your food! Nicely decorated and they have great music for the vibes! Love eating thier food! So full of flavor! ....older review... I love eating from Tinys! Been coming for a while and finally tried another dish lima beans (Aside from a crab book & shrimp)! The Lima beans are satiating! If you get hangry the Limas are a must for keeping away grouchiness!

I knew what I wanted. I wanted the half Dungeness with shrimp. And of course I got there liquid gold dressing, which was actually really good. The waitress was really sweet. Took my order and I ordered a catfish with the red rice to go. The shrimp were absolutely fantastic and I love the sauce and the potatoes in the corn. As for the crab, I have to be honest it was not very fresh. They were dry instead of moist. Later on in the evening, I enjoyed the crunchy yummy catfish and the red rice and the green beans with a nice little piece of poundcake as a dessert. I hear from the waitress that is a couple from North Carolina. Definitely doing some great things here at wonderful price point.

You order at the counter then can sit inside (limited seating = only 2 booths plus a higher bar type seating) and a few tables outside. You can also order to-go. I ordered the Seafood Tacos Hawaiian Style with fried cod. I give it a 9/10 - it was really tasty but not 10/10 since I'm from Southern California and was just in Cabo Mexico last week where the 10/10 fish tacos are. They were still great t You could also get the tacos with fried shrimp and another option is Baja Style. Both Styles come with the white fish taco sauce. Baja Style is pico de gallo and Hawaiian Style is the pico de gallo with the addition of pineapple and mango. It was delicious! I also sampled what other people in my family ordered: 10/10 CAPTAINS PLATTER One piece fish, clam strips, two prawns, one oyster, fries, tartar and cocktail sauces 10/10 STEAMERS clams and mussels simmered in a delicate stew of butter, lemon, garlic, white wine and herbs Both were delicious! I also paid $3 for the sourdough bread and butter (yum!) - it comes toasted (which I didn't know since it doesn't say that on the menu) so specify first if you don't want it that way. My family got the frozen ice cream chocolate chip cookie sandwiches for dessert (like you buy in the grocery store) so what's not to love about that. A little disappointing was I wanted to get the Pacific Pan Roast after seeing the mouth-watering photos on Yelp but they didn't have it in their menu when I was there today. However the food was delicious and this is a fun local spot and we'd definitely return here so this place totally deserves 5 stars!

We were running a little late so I dropped my wife off and went to find parking. When I arrived to the hostess she was already seated. We had a great server, Tamika. She was friendly, upbeat, informative and appropriately attentive. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with her. We ordered brunch: Eggs Benedict and the San Juan Scramble. My wife said the Eggs Benedict were the best she ever had. It was simple, but each element was prepared to perfection and the combination was delicious. I would agree but that is based on the one bite I was allowed! My scramble was great. Perfectly cooked eggs, bacon, and potatoes. Our plates were both clean. We didn't get pictures, but our plates looked just like the pictures on their brunch menu online. What a great start to our day! Parking is usually not a problem, but today parking in the garage one level below the restaurant was a little tight.

Everything was cooked perfectly! The light burr blank sauce over the top paired perfectly with the fish. Not pictured: split Cesar salad, which was also very good! If you are in the Seattle area, don't miss this stop! Seats face out towards the water looking at the Bremerton Ferry arrive and depart. Service was very friendly, responsive and open to substitutions to meet dietary restrictions. Highly recommend!! Pro trips: Parking can be a little tricky - there are a lot of one way streets. Make a few laps and you should be able to find a spot on the street. Great ambiance for a fish restaurant. Front door to the restaurant is on the water side, so walk around the building.

My husband loved his burger and my steak was amazing! The price for some things are a little high.

Our waitress was kind and prompt, however a few things made this an ok experience. 1. Clams were delicious - but clam chowder is horrible 2. Only checked on us one time after food delivery and 3 people had water that needed refilled but never was. 3. They brought a Pup Cup with a candle to my MIL. Could you not spare a small slice of cake or something - it was so weird. Who brings a dressing 1oz cup with whipped cream for a birthday celebration? I personally would not go back, but I don't live near here so that won't be a problem. If you like old ambiance, and an old feeling this is your place, just not my vibe.
