    Buffalo shrimp!
    Madeline B.

    Incredible food, service and ambiance. Went there almost every day of our weeklong vacation. Thank you thank you! Tip: Get the flounder! Drinks are awesome too.

    The Flying Harpoon is everything you want in a laid-back Gulf Coast seafood spot. It's got that divey, lived-in charm that instantly makes you feel like you've found a local secret -- but without any of that "you're not from around here" energy. It's local, but totally welcoming. We came for oysters and holy hell -- they were incredible. Fresh, clean, and had a flavor that stood out from anywhere else we've tried. You can tell they take pride in what they serve. Also, do not sleep on the shrimp po' boy -- it was overflowing, seasoned perfectly, and hands down one of the best I've had. The drinks were strong, tasty, and kept coming (thanks to Donavin). Speaking of -- Donavin was the highlight of the night. Bartender, server, and all-around legend. He was cracking jokes with us the whole time, gave honest food recs, and just had that perfect "you're family here" vibe. They also had live music going that totally added to the atmosphere without overwhelming conversation. Just chill, real, and fun. Can't recommend it enough -- great food, great drinks, great people. We'll be back next time we're in town, no question.

    We came with a big group to listen to music on Sunday and had the BEST time! Our server Michelle was amazing and attentive. I had a salad, seafood stuffed potato and a Bushwacker and both were perfect! We love the Flying Harpoon and recommend it all the time to visitors and regulars.

    Pet friendly!

    Delicious fresh seafood! The fish dip and gumbo had great flavor. I had the fried flounder and shrimp basket it was fried to perfection. My husband had the roast beef Poboy! It was stuffed to the brim and very tasty! We appreciate this place being dog friendly

    A sign in the upstairs bar!

    Great atmosphere, the service was great the music was really good and the Hurricane drink was Amazing. Collared greens were awesome. I had the wings and boudin balls. My husband had raw oysters and they shuck them right there at the bar. We highly recommend!!!

    Surprised at how good our visit was here on a Thursday night. At first they were out of oysters but Booya a shipment came in five minutes after we tried to order some raw. Got a doz and they were big, cold and salty. Then we ordered Redneck Rockefeller with collard greens instead of spinach and they were very good. We ended with a half and half Poboy which was also good. Met some nice folks at the bar from Oklahoma and had a nice chat. A lot of their drinks are really sweet which is fine if you like sweet. I had one then switched to UFO beer and Jagermeister. As they got more crowded service slowed quite a bit but we took it in stride. We enjoyed our three hour visit and will be back.

    One of the many bugs found.

    Great place! A little rough on the outside but the food was good. This is family friendly with kids menus (very limited). My kids enjoyed the chicken tenders and the chips that came with them. the chips were very bland so we added lots of salt. The salad was good but we found multiple bugs in it. Also, the beer was really good! They gave crackers with the Gumbo that wasn't very flavorful. The waitress left us unattended for a long time. They didn't clean up when we were done which was odd. They said there was live music but nothing happened. The people here were very nice but it seemed abandoned. Not sure if I would come here again.

    Nothing but the best service. Food is great and the bushwhackers are even better. This is hands down our favorite bar.

    Oysters were great, people were cool, feel was classic dive-bar casual. If Wiley is bartending downstairs ask for the Maraschino daiquiri!

    The atmosphere and location of The Gulf are unmatched. Beautiful views, palm trees, and right on…read morethe water. It was very busy when we arrived, so finding a seat was a little stressful. My advice, find a seat, have someone order at the order window, then head to the bar to order drinks. The wait to order food took about a half hour. It was very quick to get our drinks. We were able to snag a couch area on a platform. It was so comfy and we loved the views. A heads up- if you snag a couch like this, kids will get up on the platform and jump off of it. People will step up on the platform and walk extremely close to you. I had to ask a kid to stop throwing sand by us because we were eating our dinner. It was a little chaotic. We were extremely patient and understand, but I could see some people being very upset and annoyed. After ordering, our food came out pretty quick. I started with the coconut grouper bites and they were phenomenal. Light breading, lightly sweat, and flaky. I had the Gulf Grilled Cobia and it was phenomenal. The fish was tender, flaky, and light. No fishiness at all. The sauce on the fish was also delightful. My husband and son had the fajita skewers and both enjoyed them. My husband also had the peel and eat shrimp and said they were amazing at The Gulf. Our drinks were okay. We had better drinks at other places during the week, but they weren't bad. We would return, but try to come on an off-time that wasn't so busy.

    The best part about this spot is 1000% the views. It was drafty out, but I could only imagine how…read morenice it is in the mid-summer. Views right by the ocean, an open themed bar, palm trees, and music. It's not a quiet date night spot; more like a nice waterfront spot to take your friends and/or kids. The food was ok. I had the Cobia BLT & fries. The fries were good but the blt was tough. The bread was also a bit stale. The coconut fish bite appetizers were a 10/10. Delicious. Wifey had the mahi mahi tacos which she thought were just ok as well -- again tough. She did not however enjoy the cauliflower bites. I personally enjoyed them. We had mixed feelings about it. Great ambience, ok food. May come back.
