Typical beach bar (on the canal). Indoor and outdoor seating. DOG FRIENDLY! Large menu. Extra parking on the road next to the joint. Important to know because the lot along Clark Street is always packed. The servers are friendly and attentive. The French oysters were excellent. They have a large menu. Today they had 75 cent wing specials. They do have TVs to watch sports games. I don't know if they have the NFL football package. I'll be back.

Delicious food. Great atmosphere. Service was spot on. This is a dive bar so nothing fancy but the food is well made. Get the home made key lime pie. Best ever!!!

The oysters were very good and on special Thursday $16 or $20 a dozen. Also the baked scallops were delicious! The shrimp scampi flatbread was okay, but wasn't a flat bread, it was a small pizza crust. The draft beers also were on special and the blueberry and mango were very good. Nice views and cute birds came to visit us and wait for scraps.

Came to this place last Sunday...mid-day and it was busy!! But that didn't slow service a bit. One of the bartenders (who was already off shift) asked to grab us a beer while we were waiting. Nice start!! Other bartender was by just a minute later to take our order. Food was out to us fast! We had the peel and eat shrimps (huge, fresh and delish) as well as the chicken nachos. Ample helpings of both, and we were def full!! Live music on the outside patio. Great seating out there as well as along the waterway on the side of the building! Other places would have struggled being so full...this place shines!!

One of my favorite dives.... Wednesday is wing night! Lots of beer choices! Large menu, lots of choices!

I'd like to say first off, the poor server we had today (young blonde), was extremely overwhelmed and was trying her best, and she was getting slammed by so many tables and there was just 1 other server there during a busy night. I felt so sorry for her being yanked around by so many people beginning to get angry with her for taking so long. I wish I had more to give than I did, but unfortunately I didn't. I tipped her 30% and thanked her for all she's doing, but I know I didn't make a difference. The food was outstanding. I got Mahi Mahi tacos, and lobster queso as our appetizer. The queso was the perfect thickness, although it could've used a little more lobster which tasted like imitation crab. It is what it is, but I as really good nonetheless. I only got my drinks refilled once, but like I said, the girl was overwhelmed, so I'm not going to complain too much about that. People are definitely understaffed, and it's beginning to be a huge problem everywhere.

Ollie's isn't beautiful and spotless, but it's delicious and welcoming. This has been my go to spot almost every weekend since I move down to Florida in 2016. Not sure when they reopened but since then we've been almost every weekend or every week or at least several times a month. Their food is always consistent and their staff is always very nice and recognize us as soon as we come in the door. Love that they have daily specials and something for everyone.

Great dive spot on the water with excellent fresh seafood! April was very attentive and friendly! We always stop here when we visit our friends in New Port Richey. The Grouper was yummy, the Mussels and Clams were delish! Our friends had the Mahi Salad and the Tacos, which they liked. I highly recommend this place if you're in the area. They have nightly music on their patio every night as well.

The food is always consistently delicious. Our table shared the calamari (perfection for garlic lovers). Steamed shrimp (several flavors, all are equally delicious) chic ceasar salad (loaded with chicken) prices are reasonable. Sells beer by the pitcher but wine lovers are out of luck. A restaurant pour is all you get, not what you want while friends are sharing their pitcher of beer (Your wine tab can add up.) All wait staff are effective and friendly. Have good live music Has a local bar atmosphere.

Wings were great. Service left a lot to be desired. If you're in the area, I'd order to go.

Really great seafood restaurant in Hudson, Florida. We started with a half dozen raw oysters, which…read morewere excellent, and then ordered the Sailor's Platter. Crab legs, fried shrimp, fried clam strips, and a side. Basically, a little bit of everything from the ocean. Everything was really good, and there was definitely no shortage of food. Now, here's the funny part. We went to a seafood restaurant, ordered a bunch of seafood, and somehow the thing I'm still thinking about is the chicken orzo soup. Hands down the best chicken orzo soup I've ever had. Seriously, I would go back just for the soup. Not sure how a bowl of chicken soup managed to steal the show from an entire platter of seafood, but it did. Another nice surprise is their lunch menu. As long as you order before 5 PM, you can take advantage of the lower lunch prices. Apparently, lunch lasts until 5 in Hudson, and I'm perfectly fine with that. All around a great experience. Excellent seafood, generous portions, and chicken orzo soup that has absolutely no business being that good. Definitely worth a visit. Just don't skip the soup!

Great location, service was good, food was ok. We had coconut shrimp which was good but very small…read moreportion for the price. Fish and chips was ok nothing special. Shrimp scampi was good again noting spectacular. Total cost with no drinks $65.00. Wouldn't go there again.

I'm in town on business and my lawyer insisted I come here for the Blackend Grouper Sandwich…read more She was right. Stellar service as soon as I walked in and that continued with Piper, my server. The fries could have been crispier (I asked for them crispy/well done) but the fish sandwich was the star of the show so I didn't mind. I chose the local IPA over the sierra Nevada Hazy and there was no contest - a much better IPA. The Grouper sandwich was MP so I asked, I got severely burned at Legal Seafoods in Boston last year when Mr, Big Shot didn't ask first. Sam's is a wonderful place for all your eating needs.

After all these years living in the Bay Area, somehow I'd never been to Hudson Beach. Well that…read moreended in March of 2026... when I rolled by Sam's and saw one last parking spot. I had just eaten a huge breakfast, but had to stop. This place is so warm and welcoming, so cool and laid back, so friendly and chill. It's great for all ages. There's a huge deck, overlooking the Gulf... and an extra tiki bar, off to the side (and who doesn't need an extra tiki bar?!) The food menu is tempting and extensive (grouper, stop calling to me!) and the drink menu is fun and fabulous (and also calling to me). I had a banana/amoretto concoction that made me wonder what I'd been doing with my life, when I should have been here. I kept trying to get hungry enough to order food, but couldn't do it. I'll just have to go back ASAP and get you the seafood and starters info you richly deserve. Sam's is right there on the waterfront, next to the picnic pavilion. The private parking lot is sort of small-but somehow I snagged that spot at noon on a Saturday. There's also street parking close by. I'll bet it's packed at night, though, when they have live music and it's sunset time. Come check them out. If you get there before me, please tell me about the food!

This review will only be for the weekend Pizza. We have never been, but I kept seeing posts about…read morethe pizza on Sundays. Well, now it is all weekend and we decided to check it out. Driving by it looks like nothing, inside is a large seating area, a bar area and then doors to go to the outside where on the weekends at least there's live music. I took a step outside to get a picture of the pizza oven, what a beauty! I did not know it was the owner, but I asked the guy if I could grab a picture of it and in an Italian accent, he said get a picture from over here you can see inside. Our waitress was very knowledgeable, friendly and fast, And she had some large tables. The pizza was absolutely delicious. I asked the waitress while looking at the menu, I saw that they said some homemade pasta. She told me that they make all their pastas, breads, sauces, and pizza dough on site. We will have to come back and try some other meals, but the wood fired pizza was phenomenal. I had seen this place on the socials, and one time working my way back home when the expressway was shut down...I drove by it, and would've never noticed it if I hadn't known the name. The place is definitely doing the business, but you need to go. It is a hidden gem. One of the better pizzas in the drivable area for sure! The owners are from Italy, need I say anymore. Oh, I almost forgot that they have a nice selection of beers on draft. Seriously, reef donkey for five dollars. It only made the pizza that much better! And the sidenote when you get mushrooms on your pizza, you get a mixture of delicious mushrooms, all fresh, even shiitakes. The red peppers are freshly cut, and the onions are sautéed, which just adds another layer of flavor. And definitely when we go back I am getting some meatball sliders, cause we got meatballs on the one pizza and they were so delicious, just a tender flavorful hold together meatball but not dense! Well, done, my friends! You have a new loyal customer.
