We had a wonderful experience tonight! Bonbon was an awesome server, gave wonderful recommendations, and the food was hot and fresh. Prices had gone up quite a bit, so price was only reason we gave it a 4. Great drinks, no room for dessert!

This restaurant was conveniently located across the street from PCB Pier so we decided to give it a try and it was pretty good! I ordered the grouper with the twice baked potato and we also ordered the loaded nachos appetizers. My grouper was very crispy and tasty and my salad and potatoes were great as well! The appetizer was just meh-not the best, not the worst. The service was quick and efficient. Great location for a quick meal for main course!

Good food, fresh and tasty. Sauces were not worth trying, so good thing the food was fine without them.
The view of the ocean from outside seating was pleasant with the palm trees saying overhead.

I went here for a friend's birthday dinner. The food is expensive, in my opinion overly priced for the amount of food you get.
I enjoyed the Tuna dip appetizer ($17.99) for a scoop of tuna, pita chips, and several circular slices of cucumber). My friend had crab legs (2 clusters), twice baked potato, and black beans and rice. She said the brand taste like they came out a can, but the rice was good.
The waitress was attentive and did a good job.

Easy, chill, scenic restaurant with water views from most of the tables. Fun fish tank. Fabulous views from upstairs. Yummy food. // UPDATE: Many years later and we're still enjoying this place. Just yesterday, even. Many thanks to Aaron H. for his attentive, caring service. He made our dinner that much better.
Pompano Joe’s is treated like a “must-visit” destination, but I honestly don’t get the hype. The menu is overpriced and feels like a gamble — spend big and hope you get something worth eating. I wasn’t willing to roll those dice, so I went with a simple fish sandwich. Big mistake. For what they charged, I expected something memorable, but what I got could’ve come from a fast-food drive-thru.
It’s almost like you’re paying more for the name on the sign and the Instagram photo than the food on the plate. For all the hype, the flavors just didn’t show up.
Overall: An expensive lesson in marketing over quality. The fish sandwich was forgettable, but the price tag sure wasn’t.
I was very disappointed in Pompano Joe's this trip. We came here to eat on Sunday evening. I always come here when in PCB for their stuffed Mahi and I was so excited only to be let down. It is my first time having a bad experience here but I haven't been here in at least 10 years. With that being said the food was mediocre and very overpriced. I got the stuffed shrimp and crab Mahi with Mexican street corn a twice baked potato and my husband got the flounder sandwich with a twice baked potato and coleslaw. My stuffed Mahi was dry the street corn was so spicy you couldn't eat it and my twice baked potato was cold and looked like it had been sitting for hours. My husband said that the flounder at Captain D's is better than what he was served ( which is saying something) except he paid 3 times more for it at Pompano Joe's and it wasn't worth eating. His twice baked potato was the same as mine. We basically spent $71 to leave hungry. Needless to say it won't be on our list of places to eat anymore. We went to a restaurant called C Level on Monday night it was our first time going there and it was 1000% better. If it was me I would skip Pompano Joe's and make a reservation at C Level.

Flounder was not fresh. Fries were undercooked. Black beans and rice were good. Served a corona with no glass.
