Had to wait a while but seating was available and drinks also. Beautiful views of the water. I had the blackened grouper with fries which was very good. Seasoning wasn't as spicy as a lot of places. Attentive waitress in the bar area. I would visit again. read more

Delish seafood. And has a nice outside table atmosphere. We love this spot. We came here after a boat ride cruise that dropped us off near by. read more

Food is excellent, the staff are very friendly and efficient and the ambiance is a chilled out dock environment right on the water watching pelicans, dolphins and boats go by read more

This is a hidden gem of Bradenton and Cortez! This place has amazing food and some of the best views of the intercostal waterway in the area! Your not going to find better fish tacos anywhere in the area! read more

My family and I decided to eat dinner here after hearing great things from the locals while on vacation. We had to wait a little while to be seated (they did tell us beforehand), but after we sat down, the service was really fast. The staff seated us right on the marina, so we got to enjoy a beautiful view of Sarasota Bay. Our waiter was very helpful and gave us recommendations which were amazing. The grilled shrimp basket was really good, it tasted fresh and flavorful. The key lime pie was wonderful as well. Everyone else at my table loved their food too, and we had an excellent time here. Would recommend. read more

Tides Tables is great. We had already eaten but needed a little something else later in the evening. We ordered the 3 item combination platter and it came with Mahi, Shrimp, and Scallops, we substituted mahi for grouper for an additional 4.95 charge. We chose to have it blackened and it was great. Less seasoning would probably be more on some of the items here but it was very good regardless. Their coke from the fountain at the bar is the best Coca-Cola we have ever drank, we all joked the rest of the week about returning for another coke before going home. If you go here make sure to get yourself a coke and thank us later. read more

Having never been to this place, I was impressed. The food and the atmosphere were amazing The shrimp po boy was great. I will definitely be back. read more

Tide Tables - Our decorated dollar bills - Seafood Near Me - Cortez, Florida

Fish tacos did not disappoint. The server was so friendly and kind. Wearing masks of course. I can't imagine in the heat but realize the importance. The mahi low tide was a huge portion. Hubby got grouper bites-he loved them. I think the fish tacos might be the best I've had around here. So good! Definitely will be back! read more

10 minute wait. Service was great as was the food. Kids enjoyed too! Only downfall was that the wait was so shirt that we didn't get to hang out at the Tiki bar! I had to edit this review after eating at starfish. Tide tables is more pricey, with less ambiance and the food at starfish is better. Skip this place and go to starfish! read more

Outside dinning spaced apart for virus precautions, great fresh food-delicious!! Good service! We tried fish tacos, grouper sandwich & combo basket....al cooked perfectly! They know what they are doing with seafood‼. Also beer & wine only...FYI. read more

Our favorite waterside restaurant. Located on Sarasota Bay, outdoor seating either at the bar or at a table with palapa-style umbrellas to block the harshness if the direct sun. Food is good and servers are friendly. read more

Great fresh fish and fun casual atmosphere with timely, friendly service. We have been there at least five times and always enjoy!

The grouper swim right up to the dock to be caught. They don't want to be prepared anywhere else. And get the key lime pie. You know you want it. read more

Great fresh on the waterfront "joint". Get there before seasonal folks make it umposdiblebto get in. Really worth the fish tacos!!!

After an early disappointment at a different establishment I had given up on grouper. Today my kind was blown. My fried grouper was perfect, moist and tender. So flavorful. My daughters grilled scalps the same. Will definitely be back. Everyone was friendly and pleasant. read more

The wait is long but the view is amazing!! We came with a group of 6 during the Christmas holiday at at 5:30pm so a wait was expected. I was kinda bummed the tiki bar only had beer/wine since I don't drink either but made do with a Diet Coke. Food was good, had the grouper bites and they were amazing! Husband said the scallops were tasteless but shrimp & fish was delicious. Finished dinner with Key Lime Pie and Reese's Pie which were both great. read more

Servers were friendly and service was great.. but the food quality was mediocre. Our grouper sandwiches should have been a 10 for the $s paid, but the fish though cooked well was BLAH. It could have been so much better with a little seasoning AND the bun was just boring - not toasted, not a sesame bun , just a plain old class C hamburger bun that was probably a day or two old. read more

I don't think I've ever encountered a more hospitable and welcoming staff! Great food, nice location, and wonderful staff! We will certainly return! :) read more

Staying local and wanted cold beer and fish dip. Lived in Fl. Over 40 years. They had smoked grouper fish dip. Mmmmm I said and ordered it. It didn't have the blood line cut out and was very gamey. Wife stopped there. I kept at it until I found plastic debris in in. So, on a scale of 1-5, they get 0. read more

Love Love Love this little place ! I know it's tiny and looks like a shack, but I promise you will not be disappointed! The Grouper sandwich blackened is A-amazing ! Every time My family and I are in town we are sure to stop by as many times as we can ! read more

Terrific place, right on the water. Grouper bites were perfect. Service was great, staff was friendly.

Service staff is great, owner is a jerk. Mediocre food, top dollar prices. Never again this lifetime.

Nice view by the marina. Great service. Decent food nothing special. Got the grouper bites, I've had better. Unfortunately I found a small black hair in my fries that completely ruined the experience here. They took it off the bill. Not returning. The beach house was amazing I suggest them. read more

This spot was a great hit for my family. My daughter had a BLT and she ate the entire sandwich. I ordered grouper checks and had a local IPA. My wife had a cheeseburger and she enjoyed that as well. Our friends shared fish tacos and they thought it was tasty. View and staff were top notch. Our server was patient as we took our time scanning the menu. I was told that they smoke ribs here as well and will give that go the next time we are in the area. read more

The staff were super friendly. The food came extremely fast. The view was nice. I just wish we could all do away with the midges. I didn't want to lower their stars as the midges are something no one can control if there is outdoor seating near the water. read more

We started coming here as a backup for starfish cafe and now it has become our favorite place to go to. Sometimes starfish down the street is just a zoo, while this place is more low key. The ambience is a a chill place by the ship yard. All their seafood is fresh and every little thing they make and do is with care. All the sauces are homemade and the beers are cheap. Their conq fritters and fish tacos are the best on the island. The conq fritters are crispy on the outside creamy on the outside. Their fish tacos are again the beat in the area, the corvina is incredible. The baked beans are phenomenal and the grouper sandwich is supreme. They also have specials to keep their menu fresh and interesting. There is nothing they don't do well. A real gem. read more

The food here is okay. Nothing special. Good scenery. Beware though....on a recent visit we were told there was no seating outside. They turned away about 10 people in five minutes who wanted to sit outside. It was 65 degrees and sunny! The hostess was quite snooty and uninviting. We went to a better competitor, who happened to have their outdoor seating open. read more

As a tourist, I was intrigued by a 4.5 star review of a restaurant serving food in disposable baskets. I thought wow I bet their food is amazing! I was unfortunately disappointed. The atmosphere is very casual, which I can appreciate. However it was not very clean and boarder line ghetto. The rickety, squeaky fans almost completely drowned out the good 90's reggae playing on the speakers. We were all slightly turned off but kept thinking, 4.5 stars. The food must be amazing! We opened the menu and wow these "dishes" are pricy. (Averaging $15-$20 per) This food must be amazing! ...We wanted to try everything so we strategically each ordered something different. 1. Seafood platter with grouper: $30 Although cooked well, it was drastically under-seasoned. A little salt before one batters and frys goes A LONG WAY. The shrimp and scallops were both pretty good. The fries were, oh dear, frozen. HUGE Mistake! Coleslaw was watery but good. Baked beans were mushy but had good flavor. 2. Fish tacos: $15 These were so overly seasoned, we each had 1 bite and threw the rest out. Service was ok. Drinks were kinda cold. Overall grade from us... D+. One star given because this place doesn't deserve a 4.5 average. 3 tops. read more

We're vacationing on the island and my husband and I give this place 3.5 stars. Rounded up due to great service. We were able to be seated right away inside with our 2.5 old which was awesome for a Saturday night. The staff was all super friendly and very attentive. I got a bowl of Manhattan clam chowder and there was literally one clam in the entire bowl. Expected a bit more clam in a clam chowder. The mahi blackened fish was cooked well but just not as flavorful as I thought it would be. My husband had the grouper and thought it was good not awesome. read more

Great atmosphere, even better food! Quality seafood and ice cold beer. Can't beat it!

Another great meal at Tide Tables! Fresh seafood, cold beer. Love to share a table with strangers. They become our dinner companions. Fun times! And the view... read more

We went for sunset dinner. My bride and I. We each had fried mahi. What a meal! I can eat...and it was a lot of Mahi for me.. Thing is it's was so good, fresh, and hot you wanted to keep eating. Kudos to the entire staff. Hank and Joyce Cortez Park read more

Fresh and delicious grouper. A little bit of a wait but worth it. Nice lady directs traffic in the parking lot to fit more cars. Nice outdoor pier vibe! read more

Great place to kick back and have some great food outside by the water! We love the fish taco's!

Love this place! First and foremost, the atmosphere and views are amazing. You can sit inside or outside by the water. Almost all tables outside are shaded so it won't get super hot. The atmosphere is fun and simple, just like Florida should be. The food we ordered was Delicious! The best part is that you can see them bringing in the fish fresh form the ocean and that's what they use! You can't go wrong with fresh fish. We started with the grouper bites which were so yummy. They are just lightly breaded, so you actually get nice big chunks of grouper. My husband ordered the special, blackened snapper, which was super good and fresh. My sister and I ordered the corvina fish tacos and I'm still drooling thinking about them. There were huge chunks of fish in the tacos (unlike some other places that put barely in) and the sesame ginger sauce on them was SO good. Definitely one of the best causal spots near the water in Bradenton for fresh seafood. Can't wait to come back! read more

Tide Tables - Snapper special - Seafood Near Me - Cortez, Florida

I Always get the blackened grouper Sammie when we come. The house made tartar sauce is on point. Fries are ok, stick with the classic ruffle chips and don't upgrade. Wife has had the mahi, corvina, and po-boy. She likes to get the fish grilled, but they offer blacked and fried as well. Big portions- come hungry. Decent craft beer on tap, they support CCB. read more

Great place to eat! It has a great local vibe and has really good food! This area has a lot of options but this is hands down my favorite

Tasty food. We stopped by for appetizers and a drink and everything was super yummy! I had never had fried green tomatoes before and they were quite good. Our waiter was very friendly - I spilled my beer and he brought a new one free of charge. Nice view of the bay too. Would highly recommend for lunch! read more

Simply stated - excellence! On the water, amazing service, the food - perfect and fresh daily! read more

Again took my daughter for lunch. I've been here twice not a fancy place however the food is great. Right on the water over the bridge so getting in and out is sketchy mostly because people dont know how to drive. Small fish pub environment outside with character. read more
