    First time here, and this was a fantastic choice for dinner!!! The coconut shrimp was fantastic, sauce for that was just the right combination of heat and sweet, and the shrimp overall is way better than I've had at the big-time national chain. They know how to bring enough regular cocktail sauce (a large freakin' squeeze bottle) for the regular shrimp and steak fries, too. 2 for 1 house margaritas were just right, not so much booze, so you can still enjoy your food, too. Serving staff is super nice and helpful with the menu advice.

    We've been living in Cape Coral and never had a chance to dine here. Our server Taylor was very supportive about the menu and what came on each plate. We enjoyed the food and the service was superb. We will be returning again to try some other dishes in the future. If you like seafood, especially any crab dishes you will enjoy this establishment.

    Not sure how this place get good reviews on the food. The restaurant is right by the Westin Resort that we were staying and we came in based on the good reviews, but it was disappointing. Food is borderline average at best. Great service is the only good thing I can say on this restaurant. Our server, she was so friendly, informative and full of energy (the 2 stars is for her). We had the Hot Crab & Cheese Dip and the Corn & Crab Chowder which both were okay. Then downhill from that point on! The Raw Oysters wasn’t good, and Mussel Marinara was from frozen mussels not fresh. On the entree, Scampi Pasta was way too saucy, the Pincher’s Crab Cake was so thin that look like a breakfast sausage patti. The Broiled Gulf Grouper was really bland, and the Gulf Grouper Sandwich was dry! The four of us left without finishing our food and wouldn’t want to try dessert at all.

    I recently had the pleasure of dining at the Pinchers, and I must say it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles and attentive service that set the tone for the entire evening. The menu was diverse and featured a range of delicious options for every palate, from classic comfort food to innovative, creative dishes that pushed the boundaries of traditional cuisine. Each dish was artfully presented, and the flavors were perfectly balanced, leaving us wanting more. The ambiance of the restaurant was also exceptional. The decor was elegant and inviting, with soft lighting that created a cozy and intimate atmosphere. The attention to detail was evident in every aspect of the decor, from the table settings to the beautiful light arrangements that adorned the room. But what truly set this restaurant apart was the exceptional service.Kaylee, Our server was knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive, anticipating our every need and ensuring that our dining experience was nothing short of perfect. Overall, I would highly recommend Pinchers restaurant for anyone looking for a fantastic dining experience. The food, service, and ambiance were all outstanding, and I cannot wait to return for another unforgettable meal.

    Thank you Donna 🙏 😎🙌 ... First of all, I want to extend a special thanks to Donna, our amazing waitress at Pinchers. She was incredibly attentive, friendly, and made our dining experience all the more enjoyable. Now, on to the food. We started our meal with the Alaskan King Crab, and it was absolutely amazing. The crab was incredibly fresh and had a sweet, delicate flavor that melted in our mouths. The meat was juicy and succulent, and the texture was perfect. The dish was served with a side of melted butter, which added a rich and indulgent flavor to the already delicious crab. Moving on to the Glazed Salmon, we were blown away by how well it was cooked. The fish was perfectly seared on the outside and remained moist and tender on the inside. The glaze had a subtle sweetness that complimented the natural flavor of the fish perfectly. The dish was accompanied by a side of rise and mashed potatoes that were cooked to perfection and added a great balance to the dish. Overall, our experience at Pinchers was fantastic, and we highly recommend it to anyone looking for high-quality seafood in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. The Alaskan King Crab is definitely a standout dish and is not to be missed, and the Glazed Salmon is equally as impressive. With a great menu, attentive service, and a welcoming atmosphere, Pinchers is a must-visit for seafood lovers.

    The service was great. They have a two for one deal on drinks which is awesome. I got shrimp with rice and beans and it was seriously amazing. The crab cake appetizer was one of the best I’ve ever had and the key lime pie was so good - I’ve never had better.

    Awesome 2 Dollar Margarita 🥳 Happy hour starting at 3 pm with shrimp, claims and other seafood. Right at the marina. Our visit was really nice. Blue crabs were already steamed and only warmed up by Pinchers. I thought they we're still good, my husband not so much.

    I'll start by saying; Margarita special for 2usd??? That's awesome 👌 right? Anyway, I got carded cos I look younger than 21, and I forgot my ID so.... pfff... I couldn't have the margaritas. Too bad though. I ended up having ginger ale, which I must say wasn't the best I've had. (Seemed diluted and off taste) The food was good. They have high chairs for babies, which is amazing... The view for outside sitting is amazing too, and will be awesome when summer is over. Not a very big parking lot, but I believe there are other lots around for parking. Nice and friendly atmosphere with nice wait staff.

    I REALLY enjoyed this meal. Wish I had taken photos. I usually do but for some reason missed today. The service was great, they seated us where we wished and the food was outstanding. A little pricey, but in all truth, what isn't these days? Very much worth the effort to find an agreeable meal! Thank you 1))!

    Amazing service and quick. Food was steaming hot and tasted great. I got the Maryland Lil More Crabs and it was a lot lol. Picture doesn't do justice to how good and fun it was to eat. Recommend to everyone who needs that seafood place but don't know where to go. Plus kids eat free under 12 as long as one adult gets something over $14. 1 adult = 1 kid free.

    Lindsey was a great server. She was patient with the kids choosing their orders and was very friendly. The Ahi Tuna is amazing and a great size portion.

    It's STONE CRAB SEASON!! I enjoyed my first crab claws of the season at Pinchers Cape Coral. I chose the large crab dinner which is 4 large crab claws with two sides. I made it garlic mashed potatoes and green beans. The crab claws are served chilled and were of a great taste. Luckily they were served pre-cracked so I didn't need to much the tools which come with them (mallet and nutcracker). The mustard sauce is great with the crab meat. Sides were delicious and the green beans still had some bite and were not overcooked. As I had a voucher I received a free starter hot crab & cheese dip with multi colored nachos. The 2-4-1 draft beers completed this liscious meal. My waitress Donna was very attentive and super friendly. Food was served well timed. Unfortunately Stone Crab claws are not a cheap thing. 4 large ones with 2 sides are presently sold at $59 + tax. Prices may vary during season.

    Great place but the organization or management is a mess. Not enough staff and the managers not where to be seeing. That staff is overworked and gives tables far from their sections to make things worse.

    Located by The Westin Cape Coral Resort at Marina Village, they have great selections of fresh seafood. Their crab rangoon is truly one of the best I've ever tasted. The oysters were delicious, and the service was great ! A must visit if you're in town.

    Food was so fast and absolutely amazing! Heather is a fantastic server with all the knowledge necessary!! We will likely be back at least one more time during our visit

  • 5/5 Kathy 2 years ago on Google
    Great spot. Food was delicious and quick even though the place was packed. Short wait for a table however we spent the time walking around at the shops or looking at boats in the marina. Definitely a must stop.

    Nice waterfront dining location. The atmosphere is very casual and the menu definitely leans toward seafood.

  • 5/5 Amanda McCaskie, R. 1 year ago on Google
    Staff are always great! Usually a very busy spot! Kids eat free, everyday! Fresh tasting seafood. Highly recommend the stuffed shrimp.

  • 5/5 Andrea L. 1 year ago on Google
    We absolutely loved our dining experience here. The food was absolutely delicious and so flavorful that we dined there a second time but at a different location.

  • 5/5 BMarschner 2 years ago on Google
    Visited Pinchers while staying at the Westin. My husband and I sat at the bar and enjoyed their happy hour specials. We returned the next night and had the snow crab dinner and it was delicious. Ramsey at the bar was great! Awesome service, good food, good drinks, would come back!

    I had a wonderful experience at the restaurant with Kaylee as my server! She was friendly and attentive throughout my meal, making sure that I had everything I needed. The food was delicious and cooked to perfection. I especially enjoyed the Mahi-Mahi. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, making it the perfect place to enjoy a meal with friends or family. I highly recommend this restaurant and can't wait to come back again!

    This is our favorite place to spend time as a family while we have a great meal. Service is always amazing, food is always hot, fresh & delicious. Views are always amazing aswell when seated outdoors. We will return weekly as we always do. ☺️

  • 5/5 Brian A. 2 years ago on Google
    Service was great. Food came promptly and server was outstanding. Appreciated the low key vibe on the waterfront. I can't eat seafood, so I took a chance on pork ribs and was impressed! Great smokey flavor. Everyone in the family enjoyed the meal.

    A little disappointed with the quality of food. We had fish with fries and the batter on the fish was not the best. The conch fritters had more flour, chunks of jalapeno and less conch, this was not blended properly. The Caesar salad and fries were satisfactory. The waiter was very polite and the manager understood our concerns.

  • 5/5 E C. 1 year ago on Google
    Our server was amazing! She was very knowledgeable and all of her recommendations were great. The food and drinks were delicious! Highly recommend the fried key lime pie. Patio was closed due to recent rain but otherwise, wonderful experience!

  • 4/5 John W (. 1 year ago on Google
    Not bad for a fish place. I'm not a fish fan. I was there with family the King Fish Sandwich is good. The burgers are good. They messed up one order and took 15 mins to replace it, otherwise I'd give it 5 stars. They have 2 for 1 drink and beer specials all day.

  • 5/5 Mark W. 1 year ago on Google
    Great atmosphere, good food very attentive staff, moderate prices, would definitely recommend. Gotta love their deep fried key lime pie and 2 for 1 drinks.
