Did you know there are more than one pinchers? Yeah, me either went to pinchers had a good time. Had really exceptional passionfruit Mojitos great service. I love how friendly they are if you are, however looking for something more upscale, this is not it. This is not upscale however the portions were large drinks were strong, great energy Cute little view of the water again. It was cold when I went so the little plastic things were down, but I went solo had a blast. There's no rush to leave and they actually had one of the best keyline pies that I've ever had in my entire life because I don't like key lime pie. I loved the peel shrimp did not enjoy the cob salad. It was not curated. It was just everything thrown together. Didn't like it wouldn't recommend. read more

I had a decent experience, food was good, specials were good, but it was nothing special for me. It's a massive establishment and it's easy to be forgotten. They do well based on location and volume. You could seriously get lost getting back to your table after seeking out the restroom. I prefer a more intimate experience, but for what it is, it's not a bad place to eat. read more

OK .... so the good news is we were able to get in and eat. That is something on Saturday night of President's/ Valentine's weekend. But...... We did call ahead/waitlist and specifically requested INDOOR seating, since the night was chilly. Upon arrival we were informed the system does not communicate to the hostess stand, so they had no record of our seating requst. It would delay us another halfhour to sit indoors. But they could turn on the outdoor heater. So we accepted the outdoor table.... one of our party was visibly shivering but noone approached out table for a while. Finally we asked a likely suspect if she might be our server and she said she would be back. Upon returning, Kelly asked us if we had been there before. We said yes but what would have been different if we said no? She then told us that "they were out of all their fish." We sat in stunned silence. PINCHERS IS A SEAFOOD RESTAURANT. Further it is part of a local chain of SEAFOOD RESTAURANTS operated by Phelan. Is it possible that every Phelan operation in the area was out of their fish? Or did Pinchers simply mismanage their fish inventory and fail to anticipate a busy weekend? Finally we asked we they did have and Kelly told us they had the fish on the regular menu, but just not the fresh fish. Did she think we relished the thought of eating not fresh seafood? (Hint: we did not) We ordered the crab and cheese dip, mahi tacos, crab cake sandwich, grouper sandwich, and fried shrimp. Overall the food was decent--around a 3. Be advised The seafood is much better at Swan River--much better! We only drank water and coke--which was fine. After asking several times, and having the hostess attempt to start the heater, someone arrived and was able to get it going, which gave us a modicum of warmth. The experience overall was about a 2.5. I would advise you not to rush to go there. read more

We stopped in for a quick dinner and were quickly seated. You can call ahead 30 min to get on their list as they can get busy. The food was good quality but a little on the spendy side. The inside is decorative and matches the theme of the restaurant. Clean restrooms inside. Plenty of parking out front. read more

Don't be looking at me if you were looking for fine dining; this is not that... this is your typical touristy bar with a great view, a good vibe and mediocre food. None of which I meant to insinuate it's a bad place, because it isn't. As a matter of fact, we come here each time we arrive in Naples because it has a great view and a good vibe and we just wanted a quick bite (not looking for anything special). They have tables spread out in the open dining areas but we prefer the long, center bar with seating on both side (one side facing the water and the other side faces into the restaurant; I like both). The menu is large and plenty of options and not limited to seafood but it is what they do. We tend to share various appetizers and oysters. They have a happy hour but it wasn't that special and it was kind of confusing (or maybe it was that we really didn't save much money anyways)... bottom line, we just stuck with the items we wanted and skipped the happy hour offerings. And being located in Tin City, the location is great because beyond hanging by the water and watching the boats come and go, we end up walking around the Marketplace after we finish our lunch. read more

Really wanted some fried seafood before heading home from vacation. Table for 2 at 5pm on a Monday while it was busy we got seated inside immediately with a pretty view of Naples Bay. Our waitress Masha was very friendly and got our drink order in right away. Pina colada was pretty but lacked a lot of flavor/sweetness - not worth $14. High 5 IPA was good and a 2 for 1 deal. Fried scallops were delicious. The grilled chicken sandwich was a good option for someone who doesn't enjoy seafood. Garlic mashed potatoes were very flavorful and applesauce was good too! Bar and kitchen were backed up so food service was a little slow but that's expected during a dinner rush. read more

Food and service are great. We had 7 in our party. The food came quickly. All in all a good experience.

We often eat at this Pinchers with family and friends following a Pure Florida boat tour. The reason is that it is conveniently located right on the marina, you are always seated and served fairly quickly by friendly staff and the food is consistently good. Plus, you can eat outside under umbrellas, outside totally covered overhead with open windows or inside where it is nice and chilled. Either way, give it a try. We usually get their shrimp and/or blackened grouper. The salads are pretty good, as well. read more

Lovely seafood , good 2 for 1 drinks. We sampled crab claws, softhell blue crab , hush puppies, conch fritters. Green beans a surprise. Get the battered softshell over sauteed. The sauce drowned what should have been amazing. Really appreciated waiter's recommendations. read more

There was a wait, but not a long one so we walked around some of the shops outside of the restaurant. Our server was great! She made sure we were well taken care of and she was knowledgeable of the menu. We were seated right by the window where you can look out and see the water, what a view! Our food was great, it was hot and it arrived in a timely fashion. read more

We've been here almost too many times to count! The two-for-one margaritas are hard to turn down, and now they've expanded the offering to sangria and other drinks as well. The service is good here, and the food is hit or miss. The oysters can sometimes be good, and sometimes be bad - we've had to return them before. In general, I really just stick to drinks here. The atmosphere is fun, being on the water and watching boats go by. read more

Overpriced Food, Service was good our waiter was fantastic, atmosphere is good great music playing what kills this place is the food. It's overpriced for what you get. I ordered a salmon with a side of mashed potatoes and french fries but i received a 8 ounce fillet with over a pound of French fries and not even a cup of mashed potatoes which set me back 35 dollar i pretty much only ate fries for dinner. read more

Great food and ambience along the water. The bartenders are great and helpful. Delicious and fun.

Was staying at the AC across the street and wanted a nearby seafood place so I came here a few times. Pinchers has a nice location on the water and part of the Tin City complex. One time I had the sauteed soft shell crabs and they were tasty. Another time I had fried clam strips and they were also tasty with a light breading. I had the key lime pie for dessert and it was ok. It had a decent consistency but also a bit of a tangy taste that seemed a bit off. Food was good but not great. Service was a bit slow and had to flag down the server or ask others find him after he disappeared several times. Casual touristy ambiance. A decent casual dining place as long as one doesn't expect find dining. read more

This is our favorite lunch spot in Naples. We've been coming here for respite for the last 15 or so years. My husband got me started eating seafood here, with the fried clam strips. The beer is cold and the food is excellent. The ambiance is that of a seafood shack. The service is sometimes questionable, but usually nice. We can't wait to go back. read more

Always good fresh seafood. Staff is friendly and the water views are special, especially when the stone crab boats come in.

Good, not great, not bad but a bit boring We walked around Tin City and were getting a bit hungry since we never had lunch; we found Pinchers and it was Happy Hour (YAY). I had a sangria and it was 2 for 1 (lucky me) and then we shared some happy hour dishes. They don't offer a whole lot but it had some that interest us. We shared a dozen oysters; fresh and delicious. We shared chicken wings; very nice. I was getting full so my hubby ordered a Blackened Grouper sandwich for us to share (he had most of it); it was good but lacked that something special. I like the place but it feels off for a place right on the water and when you see the gift cards and t-shirts, it reminds you how touristy it is. read more

MY opinion.... Since Grant Phelan has acquired additional restaurants, not only have I seen a decrease in quality at those places, but here a well. The ambiance here can not change since it's along the Gordon River. Unfortunately, my past few visits have left me underwhelmed. The slogan here is "You can't fake fresh" but careful with the fish here. From experience if you conver all your fish with sauce, or offer fried only, it's a good sign the kitchen is covering up NOT fresh. SERVICE today at the bar was exceptional. I was taken care of by BOTH ladies as if I was the only person at their bar. read more

This is a wonderful place with great ambiance and deliciously fresh seafood. The restaurant is big with ample dining spaces both indoors and outdoors with great water views. There is a good variety of seafood options, and I recommend you take advantage of the stone crabs while they're still in season. They have several sizes/weights to choose from and they are all great. The staff is friendly and helpful. Mozart took excellent care of us during our time, offering great suggestions and always very attentive. The cocktails were a bit bland and disappointing, and so was the clam chowder, which was mostly potatoes and very little clamb. Overall, we enjoyed our dinner and absolutely loved the stone crabs! read more

"You Can't Fake Fresh" and Pinchers is not good at faking fresh. The stone crabs were the worst I've had in Southern Florida, even the ones I get in Minnesota are fresher. I also had the conch fritters and they should remove the word conch from the menu, there was no conch, just fritter. I would describe the other meals at our table, but they were so boring it is not worth describing. I've been going to Pinchers for years and different locations and have noticed the quality going down year after year and this is the straw that broke the camels back from me going back again. read more

Im sad to say that I had an awful experience. We had the fried calamari to start which was a pretty small and oily portion, then we had the grouper which had a really strong smell and taste as well, awkward to the point I left all of it. The green beans and the salad that comes with it were plain and not well presented. Service was alright. read more

Pinchers - Seafood Near Me - Naples, Florida

Most everything. The food is tasty and the quantity is great. Staff are always courteous and friendly.

Pinchers is the definition of the tourist trap restaurant, but since we got off a short cruise at Tin City and wanted to eat outdoors, somebody in my party suggested it because they had an OK experience at another location in the area. We wanted a table outside, on the patio, but we were offered a table inside where it was cold. So, we kept asking for one outside. Had no idea why it is was a hassle since they were plenty of tables outside! After we got one, I knew we were in trouble when the waiter out extra paper on the table! We ordered Hush puppies which came with a Cajun sauce as an app to share. The puppies were OK, the sauce had no flavor! My husband got their Crab Cake sandwich which was just OK, steak fries and coleslaw. I got their Fish Tacos (blackened grouper) with regular fries and coleslaw. The Tacos might be the worst I ever had, they had no flavor whatsoever. The grouper was somewhere underneath it all with lettuce, tomatoes and shredded cheese on top. I knew I was in trouble from the moment I saw that cheese on that taco! I had to keep putting tartar sauce on it to taste something! The coleslaw is a very small portion, big chunks, no flavor. Pretty bad and I love coleslaw. How can you screw it up? Their pepper shaker didn't work either. Fries were the only thing that had a decent flavor or let's say Flavor! Oh boy, the Cocktail was also the worst we ever had! We each ordered something called Pineapple Hurricane (if I remember well) and I was wondering about it when it showed up with foam on top! No fruit flavor in there, no hint of rum, tasted bad, like medicine? For the prices they charge, they should be ashamed of the low quality of what they serve. The worst seafood ever! Atmosphere? OK view if you can enjoy it with bratty kids running around making the poor staff drop plates they were carrying! You get the picture! Stay away! Tourist trap! You've been warned! read more

We found this gem in Naples at Tin City located right on the waterfront, the service was perfect, the food was fantastic. I would comeback again to try the other menu items, oh did I mention the crab cake? I normally do not like them, my wife made me try it and I was pleasantly surprised, it was flaky light and tasty. I highly recommend this restaurant!! read more

Pinchers is a place I've been wanting to eat at for some time now - it was on my bucket list. From the moment I walked in, however, I was sorely disappointed. The table I was seated at wasn't completely cleaned; there were crumbs and pieces of paper on my chair and the floor. Food was sub par for the price you pay. Soft shell crab came in a tiny bowl and it was drenched in oil! The entire thing was very mushy and hardly had any meat. It was inedible. The fries covered most of my plate. They were OK tasting. My plate was 3/4 fries and 1/4 (inedible) soft shell crab. What's more is that the meal came with a tiny helping of bland coleslaw. The service was OK. Place got pretty loud at times, but not anything unusual considering the type of restaurant it is. Be warned though - once you get reeled in here, the hard earned money you spend WILL BE PINCHED from right under you!!!!! Beware the tourist trap! read more

It was good, nothing over the top. I'd say it's your basic seafood restaurant. We did have a nice waitress, Libby. We went on a Sunday evening so it was a little slow, but that was good because we didn't want a crowd. We split the 2 for 1 margaritas and ordered twice so we each had 2 and they were pretty strong for the price they are. I had the corn and crab chowder, which was okay, and the famous fish and chips with fries and garlic bread as my sides. The fish was good, but I'm not sure I'd consider it a favorite like listed on the menu. My bf had the king crab with green beans and garlic bread. The crab was good, but the green beans had no flavor and were too crunchy for our liking. If I'm back in the Naples area idk if I'd go here immediately but I would maybe go back one day. read more

Pinchers is the type of almost-hole-in-the-wall type of place you expect in most beach towns. It has the potential to have a fun atmosphere but we were there in the off-season and on a rainy day so it was pretty slow. Our server was friendly and attentive and was thorough in explaining the menu and specials. We got two for one margaritas; they were what I expected. I could *feel* the alcohol but I couldn't taste it. I got 1/2 dozen oysters for happy hour (we were there right at 6 when it was ending and our waiter managed to get us the special which was appreciated). The oysters felt a little dirty/gritty but still were good. My son got the kids chicken tenders which were pretty standard and he had no complaints. My husband got the shrimp po'boy which "looked better than it tasted" because it was pretty bland. I got fried soft shell crab which was my first time ever having it and I really enjoyed it. We all enjoyed the hand cut fries. 3 stars because everything felt a little dirty and was decently greasy. It was kind of expected walking in to the place. I think I'd definitely come back to drink more and get snacks at happy hour. It's definitely nice to have a cheaper, way more casual option in Naples. read more

We arrived on a Monday around 4pm got a table near the water. Waiter came and mentioned the happy hour. Boyfriend got the buy 1 get 1 free on the beer. We started with the peel and eat shrimp and raw clams happy hour. They were good. I got the mahi mahi with the seafood stuff was good besides the cold rice and cold fries. I should have sent them back. Boyfriend got the blackened grouper he said it was good. I was noticing after people left there table there would be napkins on the floors. Very bad impression for new people coming into eat. The waitress and waiters don't sweep under the tables. Not a good look. read more

Food wise we had a good experience. However, the bartender, Meg, had such a poor attitude and missed simple things that were ordered.

We ate at Pinchers twice in the last week, and that alone says everything.

I have mixed feelings about this place. I really wanted to love it, especially since it was recommended by a family member. Oh, where do I start? HAPPY HOUR It's a good deal for the oysters at $1.50 each. However, when you get your order, check the shells and make sure there is a decent sized oyster in the shell. We had a couple that were questionable. The peel and eat shrimp with the Old Bay seasoning was ok. My friend thought they weren't evenly seasoned. Margaritas were decent at 2 for 1. My boyfriend was told that he couldn't give his second margarita to me - apparently this is a policy....so be careful when you order! DINNER I was told by a friend that I must order the hot crab and cheese dip. My group and I were disappointed with the LACK of actual crab in the dip. It tasted good, but seriously, just call it cheese dip with crab flavor. The menu online says it's spicy. I did not catch that flavor profile. My main entree was the grilled gulf grouper with garlic mashed potatoes. The fish was a bit dry, the potatoes were OK. My friends ordered the same as me and the fish and chips. They were not impressed. SERVICE I need to comment on the host station. Please get it together, people. I put my name in, went to the bar for happy hour while we waited, then got the text notification that my table was ready. I ran over to the host station to tell them that my party is here but we have to close out our happy hour tab (they wouldn't let us get our order delivered to our table). It took a while to close out the tab because they were slammed at the bar. When I went back up to the host station, they said it took me too long and they gave my table away. What? I was waiting for the check! I was really annoyed when they tried to blame me. They put my name back on the list and said my party would be next. I purposely waited right by the host stand until they could figure it out. I am nice but not a door mat. We did like our servers. Alex was the first server who took care of my party. He was very helpful when we were trying to figure out happy hour options. For dinner, Jeremy was our server. He was nice, but seemed a little frazzled. Maybe they were short-staffed? AMBIANCE Pinchers is very casual. It has a fun and family friendly vibe. Kinda touristy, which is fine as long as you can back it up with good food. Overall, I would say pass on this place. I can't justify spending the amount of money I did for mediocre food. read more
