I have never experience such terrible and in the end rude service compared to what I had here. I have been here before, in fact just earlier in the week and I had a nice time. This time though it was just absolutely awful. We spoke to a manager about everything that went wrong with our visit and instead of taking our concerns seriously he went over to the waitress and talked about us with her. Then she came back with the bill and made very rude, facetious remarks about our complaints. I was actually appalled by that.I understand places get busy but I’ve never had to do so much work myselfOur orders were taken and then we never the waitress again until our food came out wrong. After waiting 30 min now we had to wait another 20. Finally the right food arrived and we asked for dipping sauces, napkins and bowls. 20 minutes later we finally got the dipping sauces but had already finished the food and when we told the waitress we no longer needed it she said she was very busy and did not have enough help , the bowls and napkins never came.I had to go to various empty tables for extra napkins at least 5 times.I had to go to the bar myself multiple times just to refill our waters 3 times(however the dogs at the table behind were given fresh water).We did get offered more water when the bill was brought over.The bathrooms were absolutely disgusting.Definitely, will never return.

This is a good place to hang out with friends and relax. The food and drinks were okay.

The drinks were great but the raw oysters and clams did not taste very good unfortunately. They were a little warm and there is no mignonette sauce despite what's written on the menu. For the price of the oysters and clams I was disappointed with the quality.

Pops is the PERFECT location. It's on the water, it's big, and the drinks were delicious. The waitress we had was super friendly and the music was fantastic. I loved the fireplaces they have around and it's a great place to have a relaxed night out with friends. The food was alright, but I don't really think that is the main reason people come here. If you are coming here for the food, I would say the prices for the food are a little high for the quality of food, but if you want a fun night out and the food is an extra for you, then I would recommend coming here 100%. My friends and I had a great time here and would definitely come back.

Music far too loud. No white wine of any kind available at the bar. Badly sign posted from the main road. Took us some time to find the place. Would give this place a miss if you have acoustic sensitivity and you like wine with your meal.

I came here on Saturday for a women's get together lunch, about 16 in our party. The place itself is cool - perfect spot to hangout on a nice summer day. It's on the water, has a huge outside area that can hold about 500 people, live DJ playing some good beats, all that. So if I say go, it's strictly because of that. It will not be because of the food and drink. I don't eat seafood, so luckily for me they had a few land options to choose from. I ordered the turkey burger with sweet potato fries. For my drink, a red sangria that I ordered at the bar upon arrival while waiting for others to arrive. The sangria was watered down. I never had a red sangria that was light in color and taste. Other people in my party didn't care for their drinks (and food), so it wasn't just me. They have some good drink options like rum punch, Miami vice, pina colada, rocket fuels, but from what I heard from people in my party who ordered the punch and Miami vice it was just ok - not bad, but def not good either. The turkey burger was mediocre. The bun wasn't soft enough for me, borderline hard and the patty was just eh. I definitely had to dress it up with the sauce and pineapple salsa it came with to give it some flavor. Fries were good though. My friend had the fish tacos. Flavorless. When you have to add salt, pepper, hot sauce, and tartar sauce, and it still ain't giving...something ain't right. Three stars because of what sells this place - the outdoor area vibes.

Over priced drinks filled with ice cubes watered down. Place was dead when we got there. When we ordered it was like we were bothering them to order a drink. And what they charge for drinks in a small a** plastic cup filled with ice is Ludacris.

great food, great vibes, drinks menu is a little small but had the best drink i’ve had at this place (miami vice)

The place was large, there were different areas set up to offer a variety of beach/ seaside dining atmospheres. Hosts and Serving Staff were very friendly / approachable. The drinks were tasty ?. The food was enjoyable. My friends and I had a terrific experience and will return.

Love the concept of this place, but the food is pretty average. I've tried a lot of their dishes, like the tacos, baked clams, calamari, burger and sandwiches. The only thing that was pretty good is the baked clams. Other than that, their food doesn't have much flavor and the seafood dishes aren't as fresh as I'd want. Food aside, the atmosphere is awesome and the drinks are tasty. I love that it's right on the water, so you can just grab a drink and have a relaxing night with some friends. They have plenty of tables and chairs outside, so you'll be able to find a good lounging spot. They also play great music, so it's a fun place to visit if you want to dance!

Pops is a fun place to visit. The service was great and the food was very good. Went there with my daughter and her family and we all had a very nice time. I would suggest that they tone the music down a little but other then that - no complaints.

I always have a great experience when I come here. Upon my last visit I brought my boyfriend and best friend for the first time. They enjoyed the foods and drinks.

First time going to Pop's and it was a bad experience. I went here with my family during the evening time (around 7:30pm) waited an hour to get a seat inside, not outside and while waiting there were empty table inside but it still took them an hour to get us seated. The food was not good. I ordered a BBQ pull pork sandwich, I couldn't eat it because there was so much oil which made the bread soggy. The pork did not taste good. My parents orders shrimp and chicken kabobs and the chicken wasn't cook and seasoned properly. This places is only good for the nightlife if you want to get drinks and dance since they have a live DJ. This place is NOT GOOD if you want to sit down and eat with your family because 1 the food is bad and 2 the music is so loud you can't have a conversation.
