Great ambience but very meh food. I’ve always found seafood in general to be a bit overrated and they just proved me right. We tried the fish sandwiches with grilled grouper and the bread was really stale, tasted bad and very cheap. The tomato was not grilled or seasoned, just raw. The fish was bang average, the fries were cold, soggy and unseasoned. Same goes for the fish and chips, except that probably the fried cod and the hush puppies were decent. Our friends also didn’t enjoy their food tbh, but the restaurant has good ambience and good service.

Best breakfast and brunch in the Bayou! This place is very chill! Eating on a dock, enjoying breakfast beers and mimosas - this is the place. Military discount friendly! Be prepared for a wait if you get here during the crazy hours. We waited about 20 mins, no problem. Food was excellent - the pancakes are massive and fluffy, the pickle chips aren't too spicy, and the Kong taters are interesting and huge. There's a big ole menu and everything is super tasty. Staff is friendly. Come give it a try!

I ordered the grilled fish tacos. The fish was not cooked all the way, no seasoning whatsoever. I asked the waitress if the fish was frozen, she told me flash frozen, I assumed it was from Tarpon Docks seafood. I am a local, and was very disappointed. She told me the owner cooked it. They offered to finish cooking the fish, however, it honestly made me lose my appetite. The waitress left the tacos still sitting in front of me the entire time we were there. Service was very slow. We waited a good 20 minutes to receive our check. Waitstaff was very apologetic and sweet, not her fault about the food. For the price it definitely is not worth “flash frozen fish”.

I loved the atmosphere of being out on the water. The peach rum drinks went down without any problem. I had the seafood combo with grouper and scallops blackened and green beans, all very good. If I'm ever back in the area, I would stop in again!

The catfish was flaky, juicy, hot, and had a beautiful crust. However, it had very little flavor. The fries were ok. Cooked to perfection but lacked any kind of flavor. Now, the hush puppies were perfect. Most places over cook them, soggy, or their flavor is all over the place. Not here! Perfect crust, insides, and flavor. I would definitely come back here if I end up back in Panama City.
