The ribs were hands down the best I've had in years, and without question the best restaurant ribs I've eaten. They were incredibly tender, packed with smoky flavor, and practically fell off the bone. The pulled chicken was just as impressive--juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. Every bite was outstanding. The service was friendly, helpful, and genuinely attentive, making the whole experience even better. The restaurant itself was clean, quiet, and comfortable, creating the perfect atmosphere to sit back and enjoy an amazing meal. Hamaknockers BBQ may be off the beaten path, but it's absolutely worth the drive. This is the kind of place you tell your friends about and can't wait to visit again. Five stars all the way!

It was fantastic. We finished our meal off with banana pudding. For people who usually don't like banana pudding, we loved it! Super nice guy working there. 10000/10.

We have always enjoyed being able to go and pick up his delicious tacos during our beach trip.

He also offers sandwiches to those who prefer them and all together offers many options for people with different preferences. I hope anyone who has the time decides to stop by and give him a chance.

Oy, really wanted to like this place. But at the end of the day, I should have stuck with my rule…read moreof no bbq when you're on the coast. First the food. I couldn't decide on the brisket or ribs so I asked the waitress. She didn't hesitate and said Oh, the ribs, they are falling off the bone. When she brings them to me they looked like they were about two days overdone. These things weren't falling off the bone. They were literally encrusted to the bone. It was like the meat and the bone had become one. I was left to basically looking for tiny sections of edible meat. I would say maybe I got to eat 15% of the actual meat. The rest was just inedible. Also got the pulled chicken. No bones involved thankfully but just as dry as the ribs and so overly salted. Just bad. The pulled pork was just ok. The coleslaw? Too much vinegar. The beans? Supposedly they had meat mixed in but I didn't see any. Just tasteless. Mac and cheese? Meh. It was edible but really disappointing. Potato salad? Never seen such yellow potato salad. Just not good. The service kind of went in the same direction of the food. Bad. We were the only people sitting at a table. She took our order and didn't check on us after that for a long time. Sat at the bar chatting with people. Meanwhile drink is sitting empty forever. Never asked if everything was good. After I was done eating what I was actually able to eat she finally came over and asked if we needed refills. But this was a good 20 minutes or more after we'd received our plates. She just wasn't into it. Just poor all the way around. Maybe I'm an outlier and every other day their food is good. But it was so bad I can't see how this was just a bad day. BBQ is hard to mess up this badly. You've been warned.

We were looking for a seafood place on our first night in Carrabelle Beach. The Red Pirate was…read morehighly recommended by several we asked and they he menu looked good so we drove over. It was quite crowded so there was a 30 minute wait. We didn't mind because there was a lot to explore and plenty of seating outside. There was a mini golf course, a gift shop and two more dining rooms. Both of those had a bar, dimmer lighting and live music plus one had outdoor seating. We didn't know they had other dining rooms so I told the hostess First Available. We ended up in the family dining room. Not complaining; just informing you that you do have a choice. You can get drinks in there but it doesn't have the atmosphere of the two bars. We were seated and ordered a Coke and a Coke Zero. I tasted mine and it had this awful muddy flavor that lingered. I looked at Jenn and she had the same look on her face. I don't know what was wrong with those drinks but they were so so bad. We told the server and she swapped both for ice tea. Sadly the tea had the same dirty disgusting taste. I don't know what's in the water there but it almost made me retch. We didn't order anything else to drink. We both ordered appetizers next- I got coconut shrimp and Jenn got the Buffalo Skins, basically loaded tater skins. Both were delicious!!! The appetizers were generous portions and quite filling. Jenn didn't want an entree after that but I ordered one - the southern fried chicken sandwich with a loaded baked potato. I should've followed Jenn's lead and skipped the entree. By the time it arrived (which wasn't an unreasonable wait) I was full, quite thirsty and ready to go. The sandwich looked very good, as did the tater but I couldn't eat it. I asked for a box and took it all back to our AirBnB. I did nibble to taste the fried chicken and it was quite good. I'm a fried chicken snob and quite picky. It was hot, not too much breading, well seasoned and the fillet was juicy. The only down side was the sauce on it. It was awful! I used a napkin to try to wipe it off. The server did ask me if I wanted it and I said yes (it was listed on the menu with the sandwich). I should've asked for it on the side. If you order the chicken sandwich you might consider asking for the special sauce on the side. I'm sure many people like it but for me it ruined the sandwich. I did bring the sandwich and baked tater back and will eat it later if I can. The baked potato looked very good, not too small and very well loaded. I didn't taste it though so I can't tell you much about it. They brought the sour cream separately too. Smart! Now I can reheat the tater. I didn't try any of the seafood except the coconut shrimp. I have to say it was excellent-large shrimps and a generous portion. I didn't need the entree at all. The place seems very popular and I will suggest giving it a try. I didn't notice anyone else complaining about the drinks so I don't know how to explain our experience with the Cokes and the tea. Neither of us could drink even one drink of them. I read reviews after we left and one even mentioned the delicious water. Maybe tuck a bottle of Aquafina in your bag or pocket, just in case.

We first visited this restaurant in April 2025 and it was absolutely amazing - great beer…read moreselection, incredible food, fair prices, and excellent service. We were so impressed that we recommended this place to multiple people and were genuinely excited to come back last Sunday. Unfortunately, this visit was a complete disappointment from start to finish. The service was noticeably worse, the beer selection was extremely limited compared to before, and the food was honestly some of the worst seafood we've had in years. We ordered the fried calamari and the mixed grilled seafood plate. The calamari was chewy, flavorless, and the batter had an unpleasant texture. The mixed seafood plate was even worse - the oysters looked, smelled, and tasted awful, and the fish, shrimp, stuffed crab and scallops were completely bland. Even the fried okra, which should be an easy Southern staple, was disappointing. We left wondering if they changed chefs or management because the difference from our first experience was shocking. Even my mom, who is far from a picky eater, could barely eat her food. It's genuinely upsetting because this used to be a place we loved and enthusiastically recommended to others. Sadly, after this experience, we won't be returning.
