Incredibly fresh seafood - well prepared and worth the wait. Cash only. You can get there before it opens and take a number for a guaranteed position in line - after it opens no numbers are taken - you just get in line and wait - the sign says you’ll be in line for an hour and that’s likely to be accurate (could be longer). You could also luck out and snag a bar seat - which does not require waiting in line to order. There are pelicans on the dock for entertainment. If you have another person with you, I recommend that you send them to the drink line so you can grab a beverage while you wait. Enjoy the weather and the experience. I highly recommend this spot over others in the area - it deserves higher ratings than what it has. Everything was great - the only thing we wouldn’t order again was the fish soup (not pictured) because the rest was so yummy.

I don't like giving mediocre reviews but this is a 100% hit or miss place to eat. I'm born and raised Sarasota... for everyone's reference. I've been here and had the best grouper sandwich in months and other times it's been over cooked and super dry. I've seen the bartenders yell at people for ordering in the wrong line..(Totally funny!! How do you manage to order in the wrong line!) That being said. Its a great place to bring your friends from out of town to feel like your in Florida!! The only bad part is I think the owners know that and take advantage of that fact. To bad they dont treat everyday like they are serving their mom and dad daily. I have seen how good it can be! When the staff is on their A+ game it's the best seafood in all of Bradenton. It's to bad you cant count on it and it's such a turn off to see the bartenders and staff yell at dumb coustomers... even though they deserve it. Hope the owners see this review and decide make every day an all start experience that all of us locals know you can provide.

Come for the food and environment, but be prepared to relax and chill. One of my favorite experiences and meals. It’s become a regular stop for me.

Freshest local fish and shrimp around, comes off the boat and cut for restaurants or sold there. Cash only

What an experience! We waited in line for about an hour, but made new friends with those waiting with us. Food was wonderful. Fresh seafood, right on the water. You can get a drink while you wait. Food came out quickly. Seating is all outside.

Delicious food!

Be prepared to wait (and pay cash only --they have an ATM) but it is well worth it. On the water, a variety of choices of seafood and how they are prepared. If you like crab get the stone crab chowder. Everything was delicious!

John Miller

Great food and outdoor seating, pleasant evening.

Get the mullet, they catch it right there. Also a great dock for birdwatching.

Unbelievably good stone crab claws and wonderful fresh fish. Staff is friendly and helpful.

They did not get my order correct, but made it worse the way they handled my concern. Loved this place, but never going back.
