My girlfriend and I ordered 2 fish n chips for dinner. It was the worst fish n chips I EVER had! There was hardly ANY fish and too much overcooked crisp batter! Very disappointed and will not go back to this place again!

It reminds me of McDonald's with class, if that even makes sense.

I love the menu options and the staff has always been great. The only thing they could do better is offer grilled calamari as an appetizer which most places do not offer. The Buffalo and Boom Boom shrimp is always my favorite with the green beans.

Don’t go! Food is abysmal. “Fresh” fish tasted like chemicals. Redone, I smelled it and it was rancid cooking oil. 2nd piece went back. They gave me a cup of corn/crab chowder to compensate. Don’t order! It’s a bowl of corn, no flavor. Never again. Service was okay.

Headed down to the first Friday main street event and all the restaraunts had long waits. Pinchers had the shortest wait so they won! 😀
We had a party 5 and they accommodated outdoor seating and the weather was perfect!
Our waitress was very friendly and chatty. She even told us about a coupon to use for our party. So....who doesn't like to save a little extra?!?!?!
I had gumbo and it was hot and steamy; so good. So good I made a gumbo during the week. 😀 I also ordered grouper tacos and yum. Everyone else enjoyed their meals- blackened chicken salad, crab cake dinner (small portion- good but husband left hungry, pincher burger).
Drink specials available all time.
For the 5 of us it cost about $140.
I wasn't in a photo mood this night...sorry the pics lack)

Had some spare time during boofest Lakewood ranch and was looking to grab a bite and watch some sports! Got a seat at the bar of pinchers and was served by Kayley who recommended wings and shrimps and she didn’t fail! Also drinks were buy one get one free 3-5 so that was a bonus! Great atmosphere and service with great food, you can’t go wrong.

We love going here for lunch. The food is good, but great, but the service and atmosphere are always really good.
The two for one drink specials make it very affordable! Kids eat free and the tables being "papered" make it the perfect spot to bring our grandson!

Full hands in, full hands out. This keeps tables prebussed. All servers should be helping with this. Several eyes passed by our stacked dishes. Host were great. Service was fine, took a while for our bill to be paid, he was getting change. Your happy hour food items weren't available for "fried oysters " only raw or steamed. We also ordered crab dip, but the crab wasn’t anywhere that I could find. The cheese seemed to be a white velveeta type cheese, topped with shredded mozzarella. But the chips were fresh.We wouldn’t order this again.The conch fritters were all breading, we only ate 3 , they took them off of the bill. Which was appreciated. The calamari was great. Grouper was cooked properly. I ordered a slice of chocolate cake for my birthday. Which was so moist and delicious. And, it was brought to us with an unexpected sparkle. Thank you. This was our first time here, but not the last. Great host. Friendly service. Good food. Call ahead seating is an option.
Parking: Most parking is on the north side of the building.

Went with family, staff super nice, friendly, and very patient, especially to service a large group like ours. The food delicious and they had drink 2 for 1, and the kids eat free. We had a great time. Thank you!
