My husband and I came in today for lunch, the prices were fair so we decided to order. Everything was fine until the food came out and we were basically attacked by flies. Mind you, we were in the INDOOR seating area. We specifically chose to sit inside to avoid the complications of eating seafood outdoors. It's pretty hard to enjoy a meal when the majority of the time spent eating youre dodging and swatting flies away.
Being that we were INSIDE and that the flies did not appear until the food came we are left to wonder where the flies came from. Did they come out of the kitchen?
Ps. If you cannot handle spicy be careful what you order. The shrimp tacos are SMOTHERED in some kind of red sauce that is incredibly spicy. Had we known this, we would not have even ordered them. There is no description on the menu and we were not informed at the time of ordering.
All in all, we paid almost 40 dollars to not eat half the meal. We entered hopeful to try a local place that has had a good reputation. We left angry and hungry.

The team at Ballyhoos was great! From the ease of setting up our event, to the friendly servers, they provided a perfect venue for our group dinner. The kids had room to roam. The food was good and came out quickly. The servers were friendly and kept all of our individual checks straight. Highly recommend!

We have used Ballyhoos for the last three years for our end of season banquet. I have appreciated their willingness to accommodate us as our group ranges in age from ages 4 to 64. We always have a great time. Planning is easy and the catering menu has many choices. Our event is centered around children so we always choose kid favorites for our buffet but it always comes out fresh and delicious. We look forward to continuing having our event here in the future. Thank you Ballyhoos.

Fantastic food, fantastic service, but we dealt with flies sitting by the front windows. Without that it was a perfect experience
7/26/25 - Came here with a group of friends to celebrate a birthday. They have lots of drink specialties options. I just got a regular drink though. They had a live band playing when we went. I was quite shocked how this place wasn't busier. The place is huge inside and outside. They have cornhole, foosball table ping pong table, jenga all outside. They do have all the doors open, but have large fans to help cool the area down inside. It was a great time and again shocked it wasn't busier.

A place to go for a quick drink or to catch up with friends or family! The restaurant is a very open concept, so lots of noise, it’s pretty hot, and there are lots of flies everywhere. They should get those table propeller things to ward off the flies! The food is okay. I was happy with my orange crush and the grilled avocado. Fried pickles, French fries, and mozzarella bites fell short for me. They all kind of taste the same? But not bad! Live music but not the best speakers/sound system. Funnel cake fries are good.

RUUUUUUUDE bartender, blonde woman, maybe 40-45? HATEFUL. Girl, do yourself a favor and get another job if you're so miserable. My god! Wed night on the inside bar. From the moment I sat down sheesh. Outside bartender was awesome!! Received a quick response from the page, which tells me they are probably used to comments about this rude woman. I did appreciate that, but I'll avoid her in the future, *IF* I go back. (I live very close by. There are plenty of other places where they are kind to their guests)
