    One of the remaining restaurants in the area that gives you the old Florida feel. Food was extremely fresh. The chicken tenders were hug and golden fried to perfection. The lobster roll was pretty dang good, not cheap, and the hushpuppies were great. I also greatly enjoyed the fish spread which unlike other places, served diced veggies to top your crackers.

    Great casual dining for seafood. Portions are great Captains platter is Ginormous! and well worth market price! Service could be just a little better outside at tables. Wasn't bad . had a great meal and intermittent fun conversations with customers seated at the bar.funny and friendly.

    New menu from what I was told. special sounds nice, but then ran out fast. The prices are very reasonable, so as the drinks. Food is ok, but price and portion make up for it.

    So our waitress was great. It took awhile to get the food but it was good. A bit pricey and be sure to ask the price on menu items listed as market price. My husbands platter was $40 something. My sons shrimp pasta was $22.

    My first time there walked into the restaurant sign stated seat yourself I asked a waitress if there was outside seating she was talking to her coworker she said yes there is outside seating you can just seat yourself and went back to her conversation with her friend. I had to ask her how do I get out there like I said it was my first time there she seemed bothered and pointed to the door. The food we ordered was really good also the drinks were on point. The girl we saw in the front ended up being our waitress and she was very good checking on us a few times. My only critique would be treat guests more friendly when coming into the establishment.

    Super popular neighborhood restaurant and bar with that special Florida feel. They have $5 burgers all day, every day but I opted for the clam strips which were FABULOUS. A generous portion, too! They also serve oysters and many kinds of fresh fish. Casual, upbeat and fun place to meet for a drink as well as dine. Open air.

    The food here was pricey and okay. The shrimp was big but overcooked and the Alfredo had way too much dried herbs. Our server was friendly and quick. The fish tacos were way too spicy. They were out of Pineapple Upside-down Cake. The waitress said she has worked there a long time and has never seen them run out. She said the cake is small but warm. I asked about the Lobster Roll. The waitress said it was $33 and not worth the price. The clam Chowder Gumbo was amazing! It was the second best part of this meal, next to my Gorgeous Husband. 😍

    Whenever I travel, I always try to eat what's best recommended in the area. Being down in Florida, you gotta try the seafood. All this comes locally and it taste so good. This little unassuming seafood shack is super popular among the locals and they have $1.50 draft beers everyday and AYCE shrimp Monday thru Friday for $31+. I ordered the Fisherman's platter and let me just say the sheer amount of food was crazy. It came with whole clams, scallops, cod, shrimp, onion rings, fries and 2 sides. The waitress was nice and answered all of our questions. It cost me $40+ so it's not cheap at all. There was a few problems, some of the fried pieces were undercooked and if I'm paying that much money for a meal I expect it to be fried properly, the rice pilaf was dry and the house potatoes had no seasoning at all. I was slightly disappointed in my meal but willing to give them a try again when I visit as it was recommended by a good family member.

    Outstanding! Server, JULIE superior, expert with ALL menu choices. I had the AHI tuna wrap. Seared to perfection,A 10 without a doubt. Must try if you haven't already. Onion rings, the best! Light, sliced thin onions, batter is like a feather of flavor. Atmosphere is simply savoring. Great dining from start to finish!!! Thanks Julie.

    Low key laid back restaurant offering basic seafood baskets. The fried oysters and onion basket had good flavor. The oysters could have been fried longer but still had good flavor. My husband ordered fish and chips, we were hoping for catfish but they only had cod. It was still tasty though. The fish tasted fresh and cook perfectly. They also offered a nice selection of beer and and wine. We would definitely go there again.

    Usually very happy with the food and service. Today, both are seriously lacking. Food being brought to table sporadically. Cold clam chowder. Waitress too busy counting her tips. No follow up from waitress. Second round of drinks took 30 minutes. Very disappointed.

    Oh my goodness..PERFECT, relaxed, outdoor,bar atmosphere…..with an open seating plan and gentle music In background ….(I think).. It was exactly 5:30 pm, perfect temperature w/ a light breeze. My Aunt & Uncle have made this place their “little ritual”, when he vacations in Fl once a year!! So after my Boyfriend and I found out-That it was also my Auntsy’s Bitrthday🥳we drove down from N.Tampa, so we wouldn’t miss any of the Casual,Clammy Birthday! Festivities.#1-Excellent Good-I ordered popcorn shrimp with a side of steamed broccoli and a side salad..Very impressed.. The only👎 was the service. We had a table full of dishes.,and right before about we were getting our group pic, the waitress grabs my Aunt’s *Ahi Tuna Tacos* -that she purposely wrapped up after taking only 2 bites, so she could savor them at home for a couple days(which I guess it’s something she always does because she doesn’t go out a lot!!) So having waitressed and bartended at a few different places, earlier in life,I noticed these little bad I no’s as a waitress.On top of that I couldn’t get 1 person that worked there , help in sing Happy Birthday to my Aunt.Our waitress straight out said “No way”(Not even kidding), the bartender, whom we all saw many times to refill our own drinks, From Sweet Teas,Waters, and Budweiser draft.I asked a few people if the manager ,”Nick?” was there and I guess he was not there that night.🤔Lastly if you look at my Aunt’s face progressively through the pics, she was so sad about her thrown away 1.5 Ahi Tuna tacos, To which- just to put it out there -probably wouldn’t be so sincerely not a big deal to most, but-on the note that she is the most loving, non-judge mental, sees only the GOOD in All things, GODLIEST person that I’ve EVER KNOWN, not feeling that I have to explain her character too much..And after finding out what happened ( especially after finding out that she literally doesn’t eat out EVER, except this *1* night that she waits for all year, which just happened to be on her birthday this year, and wasn’t even going to say anything, knowing it had to be a mistake.So of course I -as the pit bull for the people I love in our little family-Very nicely explained to the waitress, just the ONE problem. Only asked if they could possibly replace both the tacos , she said the they couldn’t replace -.5 tacos but. St he would get her 1.For people getting paid on how attentive and kind they are to their customers,this waitress got “The Casual Clam” just 1 star from me, but the food was so fab, I had to give a least 3 stars, and maybe a tip that if WE ALL could be a little nicer to others in any situation /We could all possibly make this world a little more peaceful, one fish taco at a time!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

    Great food and drinks. Staff has great customer service and friendly. They also have large picnic tables outside that can accommodate larger groups. Great place to meet the locals if your from out of town. The locals give great recommendations for things to in St. Petersburg. Kid friendly and wheelchair accessible. Parking is adequate but they are building a larger parking lot to handle traffic.

    Wow, so good! We had the clam strips and they were perfect! So was our waiter, she was perfect too 💙 Definitely coming back!

  • 1/5 Geoff G. 11 months ago on Google
    This is really a take out place for average fried food about equal to popeyes. Not what I was looking for but the Margaritas were good and the service was good. The vibe is chill and you sit outside watching traffic. It just wasn't a sit down dinner place so I'm writing this review in case you were looking for that. This is a small outdoor bar with food and some nice big screen TV.

  • 5/5 Glenn G. 10 months ago on Google
    This is my local bar. Words don't describe my affection for the place. Great to catch a Rays game, get the oysters, which are $10 for 10, and have a few drinks. If you catch the right happy hour, you wind up in $3 margs which are actually good. All the action is outside at the bar.

  • 2/5 Daniel B. 2 years ago on Google
    At $29 for the Captains Platter of ok shrimp, small scallops & some fried fish strips over fries - I was thoughtful about trying such a big ticket dinner in a converted garage w cars whooshing by. But it was a special night so I dived in. Unimpressed.. and when the old lady who took my order saw I'd only left between 19-20% tip while eating at the bar, she gave me a stone cold silence to my well wishes to her on my way out..Sorry, I can't come back. Trip's diner just down the road is much better, cheaper w better atmosphere.

    Visited with family for old times sake, but the place just isn’t the same. The restaurant is less “charming dive”, and more…. Well…just dirty. The food was fine, but not as good as any of us remembered. The awesome crab cakes are gone. We still enjoyed ourselves and the service was great. Maybe more of a beer and app place vs dinner out with the fam.

    1st timers. I had the fried cod sticks with French fries and coleslaw. Plenty of fish. Fried to perfection. Coleslaw was very good. My friend had the clam strips, also very good. We sat at the outside bar. Very good service.

  • 5/5 superroobot 2 years ago on Google
    Every time we are in the area we stop here. We love the oysters on the half shell, the atmosphere, the nice casual dining, and the service has been great every time we have come here. Their seafood is great and they have great cocktails. I would recommend this place to anyone who hasn't been. If you like seafood, try this place.
