Ordered takeout and they forgot to include many sides we ordered. In my opinion the shrimp were all overcooked and chewy and the blackened seasoning wasn’t good at all.

Coconut shrimp was overcooked, but the fries were good. My husband had the fish tacos. They were tasty, but the tortillas were mushy and fell apart.

We had the Triggerfish which was one of the daily catch options- absolutely delicious! Mine was grilled and hubby's was blackened. I'm happy to say we also loved the fried okra and hushpuppies- they have received some bad reviews. Our server Gosha was very attentive and all of the staff super friendly. It is laid back and low key- a local's top choice. I highly recommend.

Amazing service. Amazing seafood. The red shrimp were hands down the best shrimp we’ve ever had. We recommended this place to all of our family and friends.

Good food, no frills dine in atmosphere, service was lacking.We dined here on a Sunday evening. We were greeted and seated promptly. The server brought out our drinks but it was nearly 20 minutes later before she made it back to us. I'm not sure why that was but there was no explanation. The place wasn't busy, in fact I think there was only one other couple inside. We were overall happy with the crab cakes platter and my grilled shrimp bowl was great but the wait left a sour taste for us.I would maybe give this place another try if we vacation nearby again but it left us disappointed.

Our server, Grace was exceptional. She was a breath of sunshine to start our day. We headed out for a day trip to Crescent Beach for some sun and stopped in for lunch. This was the best meal and service that we have had all week. Away from the crowds, Great food, and the nicest beach close by!

I love your fried shrimp. We came in late after a day of surfing and they still sat us and gave us a perfect meal. Thanks Safe Harbor!

I ordered the 20 piece fried shrimp "special" which was $18 for just the shrimp alone. It comes with no sides. Ordered $3 side of bacon black eyed peas. So $21 for 20 shrimp and black eyed peas. Kinda expensive place to eat. My order was good except it seemed the grease used to fry the shrimp may have been over used because the shrimp were borderline over fried/chewy. One of my daughters ordered the shrimp nachos for $15. She asked for no lettuce, no crema and no datil pepper sauce on the nachos. I noticed when she was eating her nachos I saw this white sauce drizzled all over the nachos. I asked her what it was and she thought it was white queso. I was saying to myself, "ok, it doesn't quite look like white queso but alright." So, she ate the shrimp off the dish and said she couldn't eat anymore because it was making her a little nauseous. So trying not to waste money, I took a chip off the dish because I was going to try to eat more of the dish to not waste money. Well, after eating a chip and tasting what she thought was white queso and then actually tasting what WAS really white queso on the dish, came to realize that they might have put crema on the dish anyway even though she said no crema and it was even on the receipt. So, I asked the waiter Stephen H what it was, pointing at it. He replied "that's crema". I said, "She asked for no crema. This was made incorrectly and she didn't enjoy what she ate." There was a long pause of awkwardness because he just stood there. Then he finally asked "Did you want me to see if I can have it cleared off the check or something?" I said, "Sure, if you could. It was made incorrectly." So, the waiter leaves then comes back minutes later saying that they took $3.75 off the bill and because she ate the shrimp (I think 10 came on the dish, mostly nachos) that they couldn't refund the entire $15 for the incorrectly made meal. So I had to pay for a meal made wrong. Bad customer service. My other daughter ordered the $12 burger and $1 to add cheese to it. She said her burger wasn't that good. The meat patty had no taste/seasoning. So, mainly due to the poor customer service with the wrongly made dish plus food taste/quality issues and definitely on the expensive side for what you're getting, I would not recommend this restaurant.
