Oh my goodness, the duck Jalapeno poppers were absolutely amazing! Never would imagine such a restaurant in a Bass Pro shop!

Food, service, and atmosphere were great. Clam Chowder was awesome. Had fish and chips. The wife had fried cat fish. Sorry, I had already eaten it before I thought to take pictures!

Sitting at the bar, you get a full view of the fish tank. It's amazing. It's huge. Everything in this restaurant is awesome.

We had the Saturday brunch. For $25 dollars per person powdered eggs are simply unacceptable. Minimal selection. Food was good if it was a hotel continental breakfast.

Went here after a long drive, got seated fairly quick and that staff was really nice. I ordered the chicken sandwich and it looked pretty good. I started eating it and realized the chicken was pretty bland and there wasn’t much to it, the ketchup carried it. It wasn’t tell i ate half the sandwich that it was fairly pink, a little too pink. I was hungry and ate the rest, again long drive very hungry. It wasn’t tell the next morning i started having stomache issues, i ate breakfast then 20 minutes later it got flushed out after a long bathroom trip. i continued to snack and everytime i ate something it would just trigger my stomache and id have to go to the restroom. i can’t eat or my stomache gets triggered. very disappointed in bass pro. at my local bass pro there safe was flawless, shame this one is terrible.

The food was TRASH. When they had the buffet it was great! Idk what has happened though. Went for the Atmosphere which is so fun and different but the food? The kids menu has KRAFT mac and cheese on it? HEY! ? just make some mac and cheese in house. I can make Kraft at home. I got the smoked fish dip and it was paired with club cracker for 15$ 8 crackers and a spoonful of dip lol HUUUUUUUHHH????!!! WE SPENT $88 on 2 kids meals, 1 adult meal and 2 appetizers. Why are u up charging me on the Kraft Mac? Lol it's craaaazzyyyy. I don't mind paying for a meal out. Especially in a restaurant that looks like hemmingways it's just so pretty. But the food has to step it up! I won't be returning nor recommending until I hear of some changes. Also put the wait staff in a different shirt color. The turquoise green is reminiscent of nurse scrubs. I don't want to think clinic while eating next to a rhino head. Just put em in all black. That color makes everyone's skin look TERRIBLE! It's not nice.

I stopped in with the kids and had a great experience. Had the New England Clam Chowder and it was thick and chunky, just the way I like it. The kids liked their food as well. The server was polite and attentive and the food was quick.

The reason for two stars was their customer service. My husband and I decided to dine in while visiting the aquarium attraction. The drinks were okay, mediocre for the price. My Pina colada was watery, and my husband wasn’t a fan of his Old Fashioned. My salad was the only decent thing we ate here. My husband ordered a medium-rare steak, and was served a raw steak that was seared on the outside. My husband isn’t typically confrontational and will eat whatever. He was going to try and eat it and told the server not to worry about it so we didn’t have to send the food back. He took a few bites and said not only was it cold in the middle, but was genuinely raw (picture for reference). Our server took it back and they cooked it longer, brought it back out and again it’s raw, just a little more blackened on the outside. The third time we sent it back (which we NEVER do), it was so tough my husband could not hardly cut into it. At this point, my husband who rarely complains, says it’s fine and not to worry about it when the server asked if they could get us an entirely new steak. We politely declined. I got the shrimp bonetti. The shrimp tasted like the smell of the aquarium we just left, extremely fishy and gummy. Odd color, I didn’t even try the pasta. They comped both meals and apologized profusely. Customer service was great but the food was not. We are not from here so will not be back and do not recommend. We left disappointed, and my husband with a stomach ache.

Hemingways is an empty shell of what it used to be. Mediocre food at best. Shrimp pasta dish claims to be created by highly acclaimed chefs yet isn’t as good as a fast food dish from Pasta Express. Save your money
