Last week I bought 2.5 pounds of snapper and 2 doz clams as they were closing. I rarely walk out spending less than $80. I immediately came home and put the shellfish into a bowl and the snapper in the coldest part of the fridge. The next day when I took them out to cook .80% of the clams were open. They were shot after 14 hours in a cold fridge. I threw them in the freezer and went to return them a few days later. There was a kid working there that basically told me it was my problem and didn't care. Over $10 worth of clams you lost 2 local, loyal customers for the rest of our lifetime. The clams were a bad batch. I'm a chef by trade. No shellfish should last less than a day under the condition I had them in. Ce la Vie.

Our server, Grace, was fantastic--super friendly and constantly checking in on us, refilling waters and making sure everything was perfect. We ordered the four-person seafood boil, and wow--it did not disappoint. It comes with shrimp, mussels, corn, crab, potatoes, sausage, crawfish, onion, and garlic. There was a ton of food; we ate an unbelievable amount and still had leftovers, which says a lot considering I'm a 6'5" guy. The dark horse of the boil was honestly the onions. After soaking up all those Cajun juices, they were absolutely to die for. The wait can be a bit hefty, but they're pretty efficient, and it is 100% worth it. This place is an absolute must-visit if you're in the area

It pains me to write this review as 2 years ago I went to this restaurant with my mother and had an…read moreamazing meal and experience. I'm thinking management must have changed because wow the staff has been better. We both ordered the same thing which we loved from our last trip 2 years ago, the Royal Red Alfredo. We get our dish and it is clearly not what we ordered last time but figure we haven't seen our waitress for 10 minutes and she never even checked on us. We had been out all day so we're starving. Oh, worth mentioning...it was my Birthday. Didnt even get a "Happy Birthday" after mentioning it to our waitress. My mother had to get a refill from the bar. The more we eat the more we realize this wasn't what we ordered, but rather the Shrimp Scampi variant. We call for the manager who argues with us over what an Alfredo sauce is which clearly it is not...he swears it is and that it has separated into God knows what as all we see is a soppy mess of butter and garlic. I show him a picture from Yelp of another customer's Alfredo from the restaurant we are CURRENTLY sitting in and told this is an old picture...We both realize we're getting gaslit as we know what an alfredo sauce is and had the exact dish so we know what it looks like. We agreed that we ate the food and will pay the price for the scampi dish they served us which is $2 cheaper than what we actually ordered. They refused to lower the bill so we left and paid without tipping. I've never had an experience quite like this where the manager will not even work with you. Not even an apology...we will never be back here again. You can judge for yourself if that looks like Alfredo to you. If you want straight seafood, this place might be alright, but the service we received was absolutely terrible.

They do not have iced tea- fair selection of bottled drinks tho. I did not get a drink so i do not know if they have cups with ice. Its a carnival type of trailer serving food from a window.

Its snowbird season and literally all but one table at 5pm was packed in. Our sear was a high top next to the walk way, which gave us plenty of people watching, food smelling and conversation. We were not expecting the live music, but it was nice on a week day evening to sit outside and enjoy the fresh air. The food we had, the southwest eggrolls, grouper nuggets and the grouper sandwich. We asked for our fries to be extra crispy and they were perfect. The nuggets were slightly over cooked, but they were really nice. I specifically enjoyed the flavours of the egg rolls. It was really busy, so instead of staying to enjoy the music, we decided to let a couple of ladies have our table as soon and the check was paid. A really nice place to come and enjoy Florida before the summer's heat and humidity encroaches.

This used to be one of our Favorite Seafood restaurants. Not anymore…read more Let me be very clear. The food has changed completely from the original recipes from the original owners. It's not the same quality or tastes. Let us go down memory lane here & revisit our last conversation, we had with you all there, last visits. You told us the story that the new owner was so dedicated to keeping the recipes the same, that they offered the one person a higher salary to stay on, because they were the ONLY person that knew how to make the original Clam Chowder, that everyone loved. You told us to our faces, my husband & I, that he was the only person that knew how to make the Clam chowder & you KNEW that you all had a LOYAL CUSTOMER BASE & FOLLOWING that loved your food & you were NEVER going to change the recipes. You told us you offered the man a bigger salary to stay on. You assured us the new owner wasn't going to change the recipes, just give the place "a makeover." We drove hours to get to Dan's on Saturday. We get there & there is a new sign out-front, its super cute, the building is painted very cute, looks like a super cute little Maine lobster shack in New England somewhere you would visit on Vacation. Now, the Local Florida vibes & charm, all gone. Asked for Tabasco & you don't even have any. In a southern Seafood Restaurant. Insanity. We order our usual Haddock sammy's, fries & Fried oyster app. The fried oysters batter is different, it's sweet. The two sauces on the side are different. Tastes like bottled Miracle whip & sweet cocktail sauce with no horseradish at all. Both sauces are HORRIBLE. The haddock batter is different. It's sweet & doesn't stick to the fish. (see photos) It's just falling apart all over the place b4 we could even attempt to eat them. Both our Sammy's a complete sweet mess, and not in a good way. The fries are some kind of GIANT hand cut fries that are undercooked. The bun, is a cheap bun like from walmart. No side of cole slaw nothing. I'm also not sure why your Haddock sandwiches and fries are $25 bucks each, double the price as "Gaby's" in Clearwater, Florida. I have posted many photos of their Haddock Sandwich's also, and not only are theirs half the price at $12.99, theirs are twice as big served on a cornmeal crusted bun WITH cole slaw. Math doesn't add up. Your haddock is overpriced and/or you cannot do simple math. OuiOui. Now that you have wrecked the food we will be eating The Haddock sammy's at Gaby's in Clearwater, Florida from now on. I have now taken you off all my Favorite restaurants lists & added "Dan's" to the "Worst food of our lives lists." Congratulations on your gentrification of what used to be one of our favorite seafood restaurants. You wrecked it, the food sucks. But, great paint job, it looks so cute. Will never return.

She's like a yelp ninja that one. She pulls this place up and we plot our course. It's located in the crystal river plaza which looks like an abandoned strip mall . Windows are covered with graphics so you're not 100% sure of what you're walking into but.......open the doors and it's a cool looking Irish pub. This Sunny in Philadelphia type vibes. We sat at the bar and Marissa waited on us. She was a total delight. Lots of fun to chat with. The food was WOW! We had the lobster bisque, ponzu and chili oysters, tuna sushi and a lobster roll. All were stellar, like hands down amazeballs for real. The bread there is LIFE. Soooo good. The bisque was outstanding and the oysters were insane. I wish we lived closer but if we get a place in the water up there we will bug the crap out of Marissa. I don't give out 5 stars often but this place deserves it.

The pub offers both high top tables and regular tables. The walls have Irish themed ads etc. It is located in a strip mall so you need to be looking for it. I definitely recommend this pub and look forward to visiting it again

We waited more than 10 minutes to be seated. We asked a goofy waitress with nose rings that looks like boogers hanging from her nose for a booth. A few minutes later she asks us if we wanted a booth after we already told her we did. The wait time for service at our table was over 15 minutes. That is unacceptable and more so when people came in after us and already served their meal. Two people in our party asked for fried okra. The waitress returned later and said they did not have okra. We both asked for fried green tomatoes as a substitute and she had to check (another wait) for approval. One party in our part asked for sweet tea, and was brought unsweetened tea. Lemonade brought to another party was awful, and too diluted with water. We asked if our dinner would be ready soon, as we waited almost a half hour. Our goofy waitress said it was taking longer to fry the green tomatoes, then brings out two bowls of fried okra. We asked where the fried green tomatoes were, she said mixed in with the fried okra. How absurd, as there were no fried green tomatoes on either plate! The bill was split for party of two, and one alone. For the two parties, the bill was $30, paid with a $50 bill, and once again the goofy waitress asked if change was needed. Seriously, she thought she was getting a $20 tip for her stupidity with confused, slow and mixed up service, with cold food and having to look at her booger nose rings? We will not be back, that's for sure. No manager around? Not a professional establishment to hire total morons for servers!
