From the pictures, you think the food was good right; no, it wasn't! Everything was overcooked and burnt with no seasoning! We left almost everything on the table; it was that bad! The cabbage was the only thing that was decent! I ended up br I aging my shrimp home to doctor them up because they were overcooked, and I couldn't pull the shell off! The Mac and cheese were noodles with some cheese lumps melted on top, and how do you mess up hushpuppies? Smh. Our server was nice and the reason for the 2 stars! A total waste of money! One and done for me!

Later afternoon on a weekday place was relatively empty. Booth seating available. Drinks and a calamari appetizer. Very large portions on the main meal were appreciated. Unfortunately all the fried items,onion rings,scallops,fish ect. all had the same un pleasant "grease" taste. Peel and eat shrimp over cooked and mushie.... However the hushpuppies I rate as excellent!!! Crab legs good also.Parking: Business located in a mini mall type parking is not exclusive and a bit of a walk to find place mostly empty

Went here for my 50th Birthday just to choke on flounder bones. The fried shrimp was just plain breading no seasoning, my son ordered the same thing flounder and shrimp. The waitress kept saying she'd worked there 7 months like ok was she saying we brought the bones in with us? She said I was gonna have to pay for the flounder. I refuse to pay for something we can't eat. I told her I'd swap for a crab cake she said no. We asked to speak to a manager a cook came over I explained I'd pay for the shrimp we ate but not the flounder he said well sometimes fish have bones. Ok this was suppose to be bone out flounder I showed him the were an inch long and very hard and sharp. They took about 5.00 off each plate and I left hungry ?

Went for lunch and chose the "heaping of haddock" the fish was outstanding and so was the service!

My waitress, Peyton, was delightful! She was kind, attentive, and knew just what we needed! She had the ginger ale syrup freshly replaced for us. Would definitely come back!!

Very delightful and experience! The bartender who made my Old Fashion, crushed it! Our waitress was very good at her job and very knowledgeable when it came to the menu and what others offered.

Was disappointed our food (fish) wasn't seasoned at all. Food was very plain. The hushpippies with our meal was not fully cooked. Green beans was the only good part of my meal sad to say. Service was good tho. Most likely won't be returning.

Came here for a large birthday party. Customer service was great and well organized to ensure everyone got what they needed. Food was served promptly and rather good.Facility was a bit small for this party size, 3 large tables. Bathrooms were not clean and paper towels or hand dryers were lacking.

The service was fine but the food was not. The hush puppies and fried fish were really greasy and had still had some raw dough in the center. The onion rings were overly greasy and soft/mushy. It seems like the oil wasn't hot enough. They have a sign in the window: "Line Cook Needed", and I hope they get one soon. I can excuse the undercooked food because I know they're short staffed, but not enough to go back and try them again.

This is the first time that we've been back to Pirates Cove restaurant, hoping that the service and food would be better. Unfortunately, it was not. The food was undercooked, which would be the hush puppies and the broiled fish. Our server was not a happy person and was rude. It's probably time for a remodel at this restaurant. We will not be going back to this restaurant.

Great place. Excellent seafood and very reasonable prices. Everything we ordered was great—fried or broiled!
