    Blackened grouper sandwiches
    Steve P.

    Went back for food! We both had the blackened grouper sandwich with fries. Very good. Beware the sandwich was $26.95. Probably a bit spendy but was very good. Topped off with another mermaid water and a hurricane drink. Both very good. Server Maria was great and did a fabulous job with a very busy crowd.

    I have been coming to pirates pub & grub for many years. It is one of my favorite spots to look out at the water at John's pass and just relax. They have several spots that face the water so I can usually find a place unless it's peak hours. It's also good for people watching. I don't like seafood so I always get a burger or a hot dog which hit the spot! I also get some of the tomato cucumber salad to bring home it's really tasty! The service is a hit or miss sometimes it's slow but the food comes out pretty quickly. Keeping this as a staple on my list for great weather days.

    Nested directly on the Johns Pass Village Boardwalk directly across from the mooring for the Royal Conquest Pirate Ship, the Pirates Pub & Grub is definitely a "Must Try" while visiting Johns Pass! With air conditioned inside dining & bar also offers outdoor seating with panoramic waterfront views of Johns Pass. Friendly service and delicious food coupled with the "Village" ambiance make this a Unique experience that even as longtime locals still enjoy our regular visits. Their Spicy "Bloody Buccaneer" coming in at 32 ounces satisfies the most demanding Bloody Mary enthusiasts whilst those seeking Rum based drinks are easily & well satisfied! Being the 2025 MadeiraBeachBurgerWeek Awards Winner for BOTH Best Burger and MOST CREATIVE they certainly don't disappoint! The Campeche Burger ('25 Contestant) was definitely our favorite and an absolutely must try for any burger enthusiast! Their lightly battered french fries and delicious Onion Rings or Coleslaw make great accompaniments to any selection. We've favored the Captain Burger since winning the '24 awards, always loved the Black&Bleu and blackened shrimp tacos as well! This pairs well before or after a Pirate Ship excursion of the beautiful area along the Intracoastal Waterway. The decorative interior is worthy a visit by Johnny Dep in full Pirate Garb...

    Lobster roll with two delicious sides
    Judy M.

    Sat down for a lobster roll and was not disappointed. It was delicious and the price was good too. The waitress was friendly and service was quick. I sat outside with a view of the water and a pirate ship right in front of me. Even though it was cold and overcast, I still enjoyed my time at Pirates Pub.

    I hate giving reviews when I have very little to say on the positive side of things. We came for a quick lunch, and we were quickly seated and greeted... but we waited a good bit for food and then to leave. We had a set time we needed to leave and we were ready for about 15 minutes and no one came to give us a box or give us a check. I ended up going to the bartender to get the check to pay. It seems there were only 2 servers handling the whole restaurant and it was not enough. Not to mention the food was average at best. We got gator bites for an appetizer and they were pretty "fishy." Then the rest was fried food and pretty average. The chicken tenders were super hot and almost burning to eat. I will say the fries were the best part of the meal. Overall it's a fine place to go, but I wouldn't recommend it. I'd say if you're looking for a dive bar it's probably a better match for you.

    Pirates Pub is one of those places we come to every so often...and then we remember how good it is, which is exactly why we keep coming back. Cold beers, a great location, and a laid-back local vibe that never disappoints. The food is consistently solid. The Pirate vs Burger was a standout...juicy, flavorful, and the fresh jalapeños gave it the perfect kick. We also had the clams in white wine sauce, and they were excellent: tender clams with a bright, savory sauce that was perfect for dipping. The fish dip is fresh and always a great start, too. Service was great as well, Holly the bartender was kind, attentive, and made the experience even better. Reliable spot, great food, and a place we'll keep coming back to.

    Love their Bloody Mary!

    Loved their Bloody Mary. Crab cake was amazing especially for a dive bar - kids loved their hot dogs and my son tried two of their burgers and rated one of them very high! Fish sandwich and tacos were not so heavy on the fish which is disappointing for the price. Service was friendly but not excellent. It is a true dive bar on the water.

    Me and my husband visited Pirates Pub & Grub on a Tuesday evening about 7:00. There was nobody inside eating and only one couple at the bar. I ordered the crab cake dinner with two sides , the only complaint I had was they put a spicy sauce on it which I wasn't advised by the waitress. I feel any sauces that are spicy should be told to the customer just in case . I ate half of it but really dislike spicy food and sauce. My husband ordered the lobster roll. He said the chilled lobster wasn't very cold more room temperature . He wasn't that satisfied with his meal . The only thing that was great were the fresh cut fries. The waitress Holly was nice and very attentive. Next time I visit John's pass I will try another restaurant since there are many choices. This establishment is good if you like to sit at a cool pirate themed bar but not to have a casual dinner.

    Grilled Grouper Sandwich
    Becca H.

    My friend and I were looking for lunch and I saw this listed with good reviews so we decided to try it - we were glad we did! It's the kind of place you walk into and never run out of things to look at. There's so much fun pirate decor that has clearly been cultivated over time. It's just a fun place to be. Ended up ordering the grouper sandwich grilled - garlic style. I didn't really taste garlic & it was a little bland so I got their boom boom sauce and it was PERFECT for this. It added so much flavor and just the right amount of spice. My friend got shrimp tacos (also with the boom boom sauce) and they looked incredible, she loved them. The fries were crispy & solidly good. Would've loved to sit outside and people watch on the boardwalk but it was drizzling on and off so we opted for inside - it's fairly covered outside but if a real Florida storm came through you'd for sure get wet.

    Conch Fritters
    Elise Y.

    Excellent conch fritters. Also had a pain killer and dark & stormy. Best mixed drinks I've had in awhile. Atmosphere kinda reminded me of Pusser's in Tortola. Lots of pirate gear everywhere. Great vibe, good bartenders.

    Early dinner so they weren't too busy. Sat at the bar and got to chit chat with the bartender. All of the staff seemed personable. We started with a couple drinks and gator bites. Let me tell you, they were delicious. Fried perfectly. My husband loved his burger and it was cooked perfectly. Onion rings were amazing with a nice crispy batter. I got my crab cake fix and it was unlike any I've ever had. It was huge and meaty with a nice spicy sauce on top. Also really enjoyed the cucumber and tomato salad. Potato salad was just okay to me. Could have used little seasoning.

    A bountiful bucket of booze! Tasty, too!

When we get into town, they're always our first stop for lunch. They have a pretty extensive menu of options, but our go to is the fried grouper sandwich with American cheese and no lettuce or tomato. Our other go to is the lobster roll. Now this go around we did notice the lobster was more shredded than it was chunks which is what we've seen previously so that was a bit of a change, but overall, it was still good. We've had the onion rings before but this go round we decided to share a side of french fries and we did ask for them crispy. They were perfect. Be prepared to wait though as this location is super small and if you come during a busy season or around that lunchtime period you're most likely going to have to wait. This is not a great location for large groups. If you have more than five people in your group this is probably not the best location for you as they cannot seat more than one large group at a time. But, one thing we did notice is that you can walk up and order to go. That's a great option to have and something we may take advantage of in the future.

When the host came out, she stated that she needed to "clear the area." While we understand the need to manage space, the request was directed at us and was delivered in an unpleasant, dismissive tone. She then said there would be about a 25-minute wait and that there were parties ahead of us, which we understood and accepted. However, we were later told that despite being on the list, we would not be seated because there was "no way to contact us" when our turn came and that we needed to remain in one specific spot. Given that no instructions or staff were present when we arrived, this explanation was confusing and felt inconsistent. The interaction gave the clear impression that we were not welcome to wait or dine there, so we chose to leave. Dining out should feel respectful and inclusive, and unfortunately, that was not our experience here.

It's certainly not a fancy place and it looks like it's been around for a while, but it's the kind of place where you might like to hang out at the bar. Everyone there seems to be friendly and you get that comfortable feeling. We had a variety of food items, some better than others but nothing below average. Really good salads, as you can see by the pictures, a nice job on the chicken wings, a BLT that was pretty tasty; the butternut squash soup was OK, pretty thick and not hot at all. One was returned to the kitchen to be heated up. There was a chicken dip that really didn't hit the spot, and the tortilla chips that came with it seem to be past their prime. As for the fried mushrooms. I found them pretty much ordinary. A nice surprise were the brussels sprouts with balsamic and goat cheese. Really really good. Overall, I would give the food about a 3 1/2 stars at the service five stars so what averages out around four stars. Like I said it looks like a nice place to hang around and have a couple of beverages and a little something to eat.

Orders perfectly taken, he was polite yet had some fun and laughs with us, and was very patient when a couple people in our group were "picky" eaters. While he had several tables he was serving he was always right there if he noticed our waters or drinks being close to empty. Food will make people talk, but food and service will bring people back. The food was top notch and the service was some of the best in town. I'll admit, we were hungry and I forgot pictures of the actual food... the desserts (S'Mores Brownie Sundae and the Key Like Pie) were also amazing.
