Down Under Restaurant

I wish I would’ve taken more photos. We did the crab dip and it was 100/100 stars! Also our service was absolutely exceptional! Cole Mann kept the drinks and food coming. We were so grateful to have someone so full of life and eager to tell us different facts about the menu and seafood local sourcing. He talked us into the seared tuna and oysters along with our seafood platter and the salmon! So great!!! Delicious food—I tell people how they can point at anything with their eyes closed and order something phenomenal. I always suggest friends try whatever the special is! In my several experiences over the years—this place is the best around!

We arrived at 5:30 on Thursday and we're meeting 7 other people so we had a party of 9. My wife and and I arrived first and restaurant was not at all crowded, my wife asked if we could set were the fish tank so the kids could see the aquarium, 2 tables were occupied in that room but plenty of tables were available. The host said we could not sit in there because there was not a big enough table. As I said only 2 tables were being waited on in that room. I asked for the manager and she said the same and was not nice we said we will go to Shuckers and she said by and we're open tomorrow . So we went to Shuckers and had a nice meal.

First time here. Waitress was super sweet and very attentive. Staff were all friendly as well. I ordered the Grilled shrimp tacos and they did not disappoint. I also ordered a side of hush puppies. There were four total. Three were perfectly cooked sadly the forth was very much over cooked and not edible. The atmosphere was adequate. Not too noisy. Had good conversations with friends and it was easy to hear one another. I will go back as I'd like to try another dish. Or give it an 8 out of 10.

We sat at the bar and the bar tender was super sweet and great service. I ordered the steamed oysters and crab cake. Super Delish. Over all very wonderful experience!

If I could leave zero stars I would. The waitress and manager were INCREDIBLY rude to my parents and I. We were told to leave after sitting down and were never explained as to why we had to leave. Threatened to call the cops on us with zero explanation. Come to find out later, apparently on weekends you cannot sit yourself outside like you can on weekdays. A total misunderstanding that could’ve been resolved with a couple of words or even a sign.

Friendly staff and cool outdoor atmosphere on the water. Definitely going back!

We were on our way home to Georgia coming from Orlando and decided to stop here for my birthday. BEST decision ever. The food was amazing and I love the atmosphere! It was played back and more local and felt at home. Even tho it’s 2 hours from home we will be coming back! Order the ahi tuna 😍

Food was pretty good. Our server was better than average.
Place is in a run down old marina house. Stunk! And I mean stunk like dirty diapers and dog crap!

We ordered the seafood platter for 2. Fried oysters were cold and soggy. Grilled shrimp were ok. Fish was dry and barely warm. Scallops tasted odd and barely warm. Even the hush puppies were overcooked. On a positive note, our server was attentive, but we would not return

Service was good, prompt and friendly but the food was nothing to write home about. The food came out like luke warm to cold. The fried oysters were cold and the fried breading was soggy. The “heaping seafood platter for 2 was less than heaping, cold, as lack luster a seafood dinner as I have ever had. Not worth the money or time for a nice dinner out. A frozen seafood dinner would have been better. The baked potato and sweet potato side dishes were the stars of the meal and they came out too cold to melt the butter they put on top. Look elsewhere if you don’t want to be disappointed.

Amazing seafood. Definitely recommend! We had the seafood platter for two blackened. With 20% tip it came out to $34 per person. Plenty of excellent food to share. I especially liked the fish and hush puppies.

Two of us had the shrimp and grits. They were so salty that we couldn’t eat them. Our server was very good.
