    Amontillado Burger
    Jeana L.

    One of my girlfriends brought me here and it was a lot more restaurant than I originally thought. Meaning, I didn't know the actual entrance was at the side of the building with outside seating, a bar and inside. Our server was kind and friendly. We ordered the Chili Cheese Fries and I had the Amontillado Beef Burger. Love the hand-cut fries because it was crispy and fresh. The chili cheese was good and love the melts, beans, sauce and ranch. The burger was wonderful, juicy, savory with great flavors of the guacamole, jalapeños jack cheese, pico de gallo and Chipotle sour cream. Definitely ate it all! Weird to say, but I really liked how the restroom was covered with pages of Poe's poetries and short stories along with an audio playing. Brings back old high school memories of reading his stores during class. Overall, enjoyed it and really would like to visit again.

    Cheers!

    Always love the people watching at Poe's plus they are SUPER dog friendly! Enjoyed sitting outside yesterday tried a yummy wheat beer on draft, and was shocked by how big my fish sandwich was- holy cow! Def enough for 2 people to share. Great chill vibes, coulda stayed all day long.

    Beautiful restaurant, very spacious. Had indoor and outdoor seating. Food was absolutely amazing. We ordered burgers and crab cakes. Everything had amazing flavor and was cooked great! Service was not the best at all, which really played a huge part in our experience. Our waitress seemed to be very forgetful since we had to ask 2 different times to bring lemons to the table. She never checked in on us after we ordered food (and I needed a refill) so we never got what we asked for until after another lady (thank you) brought our food out and got us our lemons. Waitress was not very friendly until after we had to ask someone else for something. We were also disappointed that she never mentioned the specials going on. We would have gotten something completely different had we known the specials. It was honestly a little embarrassing, considering we were taking someone out for a birthday and the service wasn't good..

    The food was amazing, and such large portions! The service was impeccable, we had lovely weather and the outdoor seating was really nice complete with palm trees to provide shade. The place was dog friendly, my little Greta was totally welcome!

    Sunday Funday was wonderful at Poe's Tavern. I absolutely love the theme of this place & the decor is inspiring for any Poe fan right down to the novel page wallpaper in the restrooms! (Pictures of tavern decor attached) I came for some adult beverages & did not eat this time, but they have a wonderful menu that caters to most diets & their black bean burger is spectacular. Lots of indoor seating with tables & booths, plus high top tables, & seating at the bar. There is also outdoor bar & regular table style seating.

    We tried this restaurant because the one we were going to was closed for the 4th. The food was good once we got it.... It was a VERY long wait. Typically we know on a holiday the wait will be somewhat long, but this time it seemed much longer because the waiter was not attentive. From start to finish we waited for food for 1.5 hours. He only checked on us when we asked another waiter for things. It was a very odd experience. People all around us had their food and left before our food arrived. (They came after us). We had some burgers, nachos, quesadillas and a few drinks . The good! the food that arrived was good. The nachos, the queso the burgers. The fries were cold. They do have a cool experience. If you collect trash on the beach, fill up a pail they provide. You can receive a free beer or appetizer! while we waited 45 minutes to be seated the kids went to the beach to collect trash. The seating outside was nice, the inside has Edgar Allen Poe everywhere!

    LOVE LOVE LOVE this place! It's a staple in my household. They have an awesome menu with lots of options. I usually get the tell tale heart, and you're able to get chicken, burger or the vegetarian version. The staff is always on point and super nice which always makes the experience 10x better. I also recommend sitting outside to the right when you walk in as it's got the cutest vibe in my opinion. The restrooms are also a hit so don't forget to check them out. Overall this place is the best! Everything on the menu is tasty and the atmosphere is even better!

    We just did pick up since I didn't want to get guessed up for public! We do love the burgers, fries and onion straws. But I usually really enjoy the blue slaw and today it was not good. Just dry, old cabbage with a little blue cheese crumbled in it. I dropped a star for the sad slaw.

    Spent the afternoon walking around the beach neighborhood and it was time for a very early dinner. 2 different restaurants we stopped at were closing early for the Super Bowl. We then stopped at Poe's. They were staying open. Menu is smallish. Some appetizers and other dishes. Mostly focused on burgers with either beef, chicken or veggie. We both ordered burgers. Both were very good and cooked perfectly. Service was good throughout our visit. Well done!

    Can't go wrong if you want a burger out by the beach. The ambiance is cool, it goes with the restaurants name and the theme is poes tavern. They have bar service so grab a drink and some food!

    Black cat burger.
    Michael S.

    I came in hungry and still couldn't finish my burger and fries. I went with a "black cat" burger and it was fantastic. It could have used a little more of the chili on it, but the flavor combination was executed beautifully. (Be advised that whereas most restaurants tend to over cook burgers, Poe's cooks on the less cooked side of the spectrum). Our waitress was friendly and knew when to check on us and when to leave us alone so we can eat. Poe may have been the master of horror, but there is nothing scary about the food at Poe's.

    Chicken Quesadilla with chipotle Sour Cream, Guac

    We stopped by Poe's Tavern at the beach after seeing great reviews--and they did not disappoint! The burgers were fantastic and absolutely live up to the hype. I had the chicken quesadilla, which was good (not the best I've ever had, but still enjoyable). Our server, Alex B, was amazing--super attentive, friendly, and had such a great personality. She checked in often and made us feel really taken care of. The drinks were also a hit! I had a spicy margarita, and it was honestly one of the better ones I've had in town. My daughter had the Poe's Punch and said it was refreshing and tropical--perfect for a beach day. It was a little warm inside because the A.C. wasn't working that day, but they let us know it's usually on. Honestly, I felt worse for the staff than for us--we weren't there long. Regardless, the food and service made it worth it, and I'd absolutely recommend this place and plan to come back! Also, I loved the unique Poe-themed touch--while heading to the restrooms, you can hear Edgar Allan Poe stories playing over the speakers. Such a cool and creative detail that made the experience even more memorable!

    I absolutely love this place. The burgers are out of this world!! The staff is amazing and full of positive energy. My only complaint is that they don't have wings and I asked for pineapple for my drink and they were out. Who the F*ck is out of pineapple?? It's a dang bar! Pineapple is essential. I almost went to management but thought it might ruffle some feathers. Rob, the bartender, assured me that the pineapple shipment would be coming soon. His efforts literally kept me as a customer and that's why I'm giving five stars to Poe's. Thanks, Rob and Jeremy. Superior service! Also, all the art is freakin so cool. Great ambiance.

Should have been plenty of time as the restaurant was not busy on a Wednesday at 5:30 PM. (Feb 25, 2026) We sat at the bar thinking that would be the fastest service especially with three bartenders working and hardly any customers. However, it took 10 minutes for one of them to look up from all the "very important tasks" they were doing and acknowledge us. When the bartender with the backwards cap and Jaguars shirt finally took our beer order and gave us menus, we made it known we had a concert to go to. He served our beers and said "no problem." We ordered immediately when we got our beers. It was "Wing it Wednesday" so we ordered the special. Five wings and fries. Should have been no problem to get our food in a timely manner. We had 45minutes left to eat. Then we waited some more, and waited and waited. Three bartenders and not even a glance our way. Why? Because they were all too busy chatting with this gal and her "date" especially our server. We might as well have been invisible. We finally got the attention of one of the other bartenders as our server had disappeared. (We were now down to 20 minute eat.) He acted confused as to why we were calling him over. I'm guessing it wasn't his "section" . I also am guessing we were the rude ones for interrupting his conversation with the young woman and her date. He checked on our food after we said we got to eat now! He thought that meant we wanted our food to go. Not sure why. We finally got our food with 10 minutes left to wolf down our meal and pay the bill. The wings and fries were good which is the only reason I'm giving 3 stars. But it's wings and fries. Can get that anywhere. Suffice to say is we will Not be eating at Hoptinger's again. A customer should be treated like a guest and not an inconvenience that cuts into staff's social time. And never make us feel like you're doing us a favor when we patronize your place of work. That's a sure way to a bad review and a loss of a customer.
