    Not very happy with my trip to pinchers this time. I may never eat there again. The food is usually good. Some of my blue crab clusters were mushy. & my service wasn’t good. It seems as though some of my food items were intentionally over seasoned. Literally too much salt. And the waitress wasn’t very friendly. & when I tried to get the mushy crabs replaced. They drenched the clusters in a lot of salt to the point that I could not eat it.

    Really nice place, great concept, tasty food. Everything we ordered came prepared as we liked and was very good. The attention to detail was also amazing. A manager happened to see my wife wiping at her blouse because she thought she had drip some sauce on it. Out of nowhere he comes over with a glass of seltzer water for her to dab the stain! Amazing that he would take the initiative to do that.

    We ate at Pinchers for lunch (group of 5) on a Saturday around 11:30. We enjoyed several rounds of margaritas, two appetizers of the crab and tortilla chips, and we each had a meal. The lightly fried grouper was a hit - one of us had the sandwich and the other one had the platter. The grouper was delicious. The meals are served with two sides - the green beans were very good! The french fries were good too. The only meal that was not good was the crab cake dinner. We have had crab cakes from many places and these were not good because it was mostly filling and very little crabmeat (if any). So, I definitely recommend the appetizer, margaritas, grouper, and the fried shrimp, but I do not recommend the crab cakes. We had good service today.

    Sean behind the bar was polite, respectful, and intuitive. The Fried Mahi sandwich and steak fries were great! Hot, fresh, and tasty! Love the atmosphere here. They were kind to let me in so close to closing. Kind and assertive!

    Incredible service, Sam our server is a rock star..never more than 30 seconds away when you wanted something. The food is fantastic. Recommend you try the cheesy crab dip with some of their 1 pepper hot sauce(use some caution, scotch bonnets and habenero pepper base) blackened chicken tacos were really tasty. The key lime pie is Incredible also. We will definitely be back the next time we are in Bonita Springs. Very fun, lively place to eat and grab a cold drink..

    Great service. Wonderful atmosphere. My husband had the salmon. He said it wasn’t that good. The mashed potatoes had a funny taste. He said the only thing that was good was the green beans. My meal wasn’t that bad. I had fish and chips.

    BOGO on wine and beer. What they don't tell you is that 1 house glass of 6 Oz wine is $14 and 1 draft Coors Light is $9.50. Nothing is free here! Service was good. $$$ too much

    The food was great. I had a softshell crab sandwich and my wife had the hogfish sandwich. A cup of shecrab soup and aome conch fritters. The conch fritter lacked conch so I would avoid them. There was a sign that said Golf in the 100s and fish in the 90s 80s and 70s. We asked the waitress what it meant and she brought a manager over and know one knew. Most of the signs posted seemed to be funny some how. So if anyone at the restaurant knows please respond. Great place to eat. Its a must if you enjoy seafood.

    Pinchers, a long-time restaurant staple in Bonita Springs never disappoints. A favorite of both locals and tourists known especially for their seafood but there are plenty of other options.

    My family and I love it here. Great atmosphere, delish food, yummy drinks and kid friendly. Our kids love drawing on the table and you can't beat that kids eat free. Service is always good as well.

    We sat at the bar and had very good service and food. LOVE that every time you order a beer you are served it in a frosted glass.

    Awesome meal & service. I ordered fried grouper and my husband ordered the blackened grouper. Both were exceptionally tasty. Our friend ordered the fish sandwich and his wife ordered the grouper. We were all happy with our meals our waiter was terrific explaining. I tried a snow crab claw for the first time and liked it. For an appetizer we had the seafood dip. It comes with chips and was tasty. We were fortunate to make it there for happy hour!

    waiter Nick was great . I ordered crab/ corn chowder soup and grilled grouper tacos 🌮 🌮. Was good creamy spicy taste . Ordered Margarita drinks 🍹 Atmosphere! It’s kinda noisy… I was closed to a table that had 6 sitting party guest they were loud group . I was facing the Bar table where I noticed a younger couple eating 🍽️ and kinda needed a private room instead .really! !!!. They had an outdoor table if you choose to be outside. This is just my experienced . It might be different in your time of dine .

    Had a great time here, wait time was only 5 minutes despite being busy. 2 for 1 on the drinks was a welcome surprise. Hot crab dip for app came fast and was very good. Fresh grouper and snapper were outstanding although sides left something to be desired. Our server was Chris, he did a great job!

    Great food selections, hot and made to order. Good drink specials. Servers and staff were great. Lots of outdoor seating, very tight indoor seating. Same menu as Tin City.

    Went to grab a post-sunset dinner with my husband. The food was all fine, it is just terrible over-priced for what it is - that’s where they lost a star for me. Staff was friendly and accommodating. The menu has lots of options. The BOGO beer makes it seem like a decent deal. I wish they had cooked the shrimp and crab legs with flavoring and I hadn’t had to just ask for old bay or more lemons. Seems odds that a seafood joint wouldn’t have don’t that by default.
