FRIED CALAMARI
Nathalia N.

Randomly walked into this establishment on a Saturday early evening. Party of 2 and we were seated right away. This place had an island vibe, live music, beach decor and random quotes on the wall. Our server was attentive. The fried calamari were mid, they were under season and too much battered. The shrimp tasted fresh, the catch of the day grouper was the star of both dishes along with the garlic mash potatoes.

Food, service is great, and atmosphere is fun in nature. The manager always takes time to check in, and the restaurant is clean.

The food at Pinchers is warm and comforting, just as you would expect. I enjoy their giant, crispy, hot, bone-in chicken wings, which pair perfectly with home-cut fries. I highly recommend trying a cup of clam chowder if you like clams. Additionally, the margaritas are always buy one, get one (BOGO), making it a fantastic place to enjoy drinks with friends. The restaurant has an old Key West town ambiance, complete with numerous wooden signs and faux fish on the walls, yet it is well-maintained. The servers write their names on the table, which I find a fun and easy way to remember them. It's never too crowded at Wiregrass Mall, although it can get busy during peak season.

FRESH CUT FRENCH FRIES

We used to come here all the time but they have built so many new restaurants in our area that we have been trying those. We were there on a Friday evening and they were not very busy but we gave our number to be texted in about 20-25 minutes to be seated. A couple came up a few minutes after us and did the same. I had to use the restroom so they said sure. As I walked through the restaurant there was a lot of open seating. I do enjoy Pinchers and the ocean ambiance. I went back outside and sat down next to my husband and told him there were a lot of open tables. As we were discussing this the couple who had come after us were called up to be seated. I immediately went to the hostess station to find out why. She apologized and started to seat us. I asked why the wait if tables were available and she said they didn't want to pressure the cooks in the kitchen. Ok, so we sit down already disappointed and our server Stephanie came to wait on us. She was the only good thing about the experience. She gave the crab dip on the house. As I said we have been to Pinchers countless times in the past and the was always good. It's been a couple years and I am not sure what happened! The crab dip was mediocre, not a lot of crab. I had the ahi tuna which was disappointing. I can't put my finger on it but it had a strange texture, not very tasty and just overall bad quality. I also ordered the house cut fries and they were good but not awesome like before. My husband had his go to, fish and chips and said it was not good at all. Not fresh or tasty. Our server was great so we didn't complain but I don't think we will return any time soon.

HOT CRAB & CHEESE DIP delicious, I used the coupon in my email for Free once you have a $20 purchase.

Another day at Pinchers for some great seafood . Food is always delicious and service is on point. Sat at the bar, Chris the Bartender/ waiter was very helpful. The ambiance is always great. Plenty of parking at Wiregrass Mall..... Had some Oysters, Fish and two sides ..... On Saturday was told they have a guitar player singing some tunes.... That will be great and different. Will be back !!!! Thank you for your service

We came here for dinner on a Sunday and this was my first time visiting pinchers. As soon as we walked in, we were welcomed by the hostess and sat down immediately without reservation. We started off with the blue crab and cheese dip that came with tricolor tortilla chips, it was delicious. I give it a 8 out of 10 for entrées. I had the fried grouper with their house fries and broccoli. I give it an 7.5/10. we also did their claw appetizer that was really good,8/10. For other entrées we did the blue crab clusters. I found them to be quite oily personally but the flavor was still good. 6/10. The star of the show was definitely the Maryland blue crabs that come out whole with an extra LS bay rub, that was absolutely a 10 out of 10 perfectly steamed. Only downfall is there no bundle deals, only per crab and I believe the price point for those were $11 per crap for the extra large. Overall, a great spot if you love crab and they also have great deals on drinks throughout the day every day. We had their bogo house margaritas 7/10.? They provide a nice warm, fun, easy-going ambience within their restaurant. We will be back!

Key Lime Pie
Connie A.

This was my second time at Pinchers & loved the experience. Our server, Jake was pleasant & made our experience awesome. Had oysters for our appetizer's and it did not disappoint. Main entrees were grilled mahi mahi grilled grouper and both were cooked and seasoned perfectly! We were already satisfied with the dishes but to top it off the key lime pie was fresh and delicious! Would definitely recommend and will be coming back soon!

MUSSELS MARINARA
Olivia R.

A fun and casual seafood restaurant. Live music was playing, which was a nice surprise. Wait staff are friendly! We ordered the crab rangoon, chowder soups, and Mussels Marinara. My partner enjoyed his entree thoroughly. Though we both loved the appetizer and soups, I didn't love my mussels marinara. To be fair, I think I received a generous amount of mussels which I loved. But the sauce was too heavy, couldn't get in bites of pasta without a full mouthful of sauce. I would absolutely come here again but maybe not for this dish?

Gator bites
Grace C.

Came here for the seafood tower. Ordered the lil chill and it was delicious and tasted fresh. We also tried the gator bites. I have never tasted alligator meat before and it was something I wanted to try visiting Florida. The meat tasted like popcorn chicken. A Taiwanese snack consisting of fried chicken cut into small pieces. The meat was tender and juicy but gator meat seems chewier compared to chicken. They had drink specials. 2 for 1 deals on draft beers, house margaritas and sangrias. There were other selections too but we focused on the sangria and margaritas. The lil chill was a really good deal for $60 plus tip. For the size of the tower in California it would easily be over $100 for a seafood tower. We were surprised at the price. Other than that, the service was a tad bit slow and our waiter would disappear and we wouldn't be able to find her. She did help us in the end just not right away. Food was delicious and service was ok. Would come back and try the seafood tower when given the chance to visit Florida again!

Server was great Justine. Thank you. Food was just ok. Steak fries were good. Grouper on the salad was just ok. Salad itself was underwhelming. Loved the way it looked inside.

A good choice for family-friendly outing. The restaurant is kid-friendly with paper lining on the table where they can draw. They also give you pencils and coloring sheets. The food is good, nothing extraordinary and fair priced. The only thing a bit pricey was the crab cake for $20, you get ONE. Margaritas at $2 was a nice surprise but keylime pie wasn't worth it. Kids eat for free with adult entree of $15+ is great. Service was a hit slow and I had to remind the waiter of a few things. Menu is extensive and can feel a tad overwhelming.

$40 whole fried snapper special with Steak Fries and Fresh Coleslaw
