Me and a friend ate there a few weeks ago and it was great. Loved the homemade chips. Also had the best fried shrimp I’ve had in years. The service was fantastic as well!!

We enjoyed lunch on the patio. Our service was great, beers cold and good cocktails. The fried brussel sprouts were AMAZING. The catfish poboy was equally delicious. Nice little dive bar.

Love the shrimp, fish, and salad. They have their own signature dressing. This place is the only place I'll eat Coleslaw at. It's different than most Coleslaws and that's why I love it!

The hours are limited but make it a priority to eat here! we always enjoy the food and service. Great open air atmosphere. Live music was at a comfortable level to continue table conversation.

An open air restaurant on Highway 87. Cute beach vibe place. The service is good, the food is good, and the mood relaxed. The Bloody Mary was spicy and tasty, and the fried shrimp platter was, as I said earlier, good. We eat here fairly often, and while the seafood here is not “delicious” it is always dependably decent. Also, because it is not in the busy area of Crystal Beach, it is not always as crazy busy as some of the other restaurants…you should definitely give Hardheads a try.

OK, where do I start… The owners have their own personal seats while the restaurant is busy the help is having to wait on the owners for their food and alcoholic beverages that they are consuming and they never get up to help anybody… we are residence here on the Peninsula and come here all the time to drink a margarita and eat some food… And after we told him that the eggrolls tasted spoiled, and we did not eat even half of them because they were spoiled… They said that they would take five dollars off of our eggrolls since we had eaten almost half of them…. We won’t be back.

We stopped by Hardheads for lunch and had a great experience.

We started with the fried pickle spears, and honestly, they were probably the best fried pickles I’ve ever had. They had great seasoning in the crust, with a nice hint of dill, and the pickle inside was just crispy enough without being soggy. We added a side of the Bolivar sauce (a chipotle ranch with lime) for dipping, and it paired perfectly.

For my meal, I had the shrimp platter and it was absolutely delicious. The shrimp were cooked just right and full of flavor. (The photo was taken after I ate a few). My wife had the nachos and they were ok. Our friends had the chicken Alfredo flatbread and it was just alright, they were envious of my fried shrimp.

Highly recommend Hardheads, especially if you’re craving flavorful fried food and a laid-back coastal vibe.

Expensive and stingy with their portions. The only fish they serve is catfish. My fish dinner had 1 filet. Beer was warm. They were out of their cole slaw side dish that was supposed to come with the dinner. No apologies. No effort to offer anything else instead.
