    True Score: 3.5 Stars BBQ near the water, can't complain. This place has a divey local sports bar kind of vibe which is not usually my first choice of places to go and eat. But their menu is better than your typical bar food menu, thanks in part to their smoker out back. If you like that smokey flavor, there are many options to satisfy your taste, (and many others if you don't). Wings have a delicious smokey flavor beneath some fun sauce choices. Nachos are loaded..(the way nachos should be!) We get the added shredded meat (which also adds that smoke flavor) but even without it, they are loaded with chii, cheese, tomatoes, etc. to make them flavorful. No naked chips here! Add in some ice cold beer and you can't lose. Not the best bbq, but you have to understand the area that you are visiting. Thanks

    Ahi Tuna Tacos
    Barry M.

    Ok for years I thought this was a Mexican restaurant. It is not! They have a couple of Mexican items on the menu like Ahi Tuna tacos & a Big Ass Burrito but their focus is smoked meats. The bonus part is it's located right on the water in Madeira Beach. We were lucky to catch the sunset the night we stopped by. And like most beach restaurants/bars it's all open air and has that awesome tiki hut atmosphere. We stated with the Smoked Fish spread which was awesome and what made it unique was they had capers, onion, jalapeños and of course saltines crackers. We added the "angry" relish and that took it up a heat notch. I had the "PEPPER'S FAMOUS BEEF BRISKET" with the black beans & rice & Broccoli salad as the sides. The meat wasn't the "melt in your mouth" level I was hoping for but the flavor was great and it was very tender. I loved the broccoli salad, it was very flavorful and thick, unlike any kind I'd had before. My wife did the Ahi Tuna Tacos and loved them. The cool thing was the tacos came with hot sauce, soy sauce & and a wasabi aoli. The tuna was rare and had been sesame coated. Great flavor. The bartenders and staff were super friendly and brought the food out quick.

    We were looking for a late night meal & we ended up here. There's a good variety of food to choose from. I went for the nacho appetizer-added pulled pork & shrimp tacos. The nachos had all the toppings perfectly covered, and the added pulled pork was delicious. I really enjoyed the 3 shrimp tacos. They were grilled and seasoned perfectly. The hot sauce on the table was spicy hot! Our service was friendly and quick. Prices are average about $15 for a meal. There's a full bar & a few TVs on the walls.

    Hand Pattied Burger??!
    Jeff D.

    Part of this is my fault. I visited the other location in Seminole and had their bbq and it wasn't great. This location boasted a lot of fish. I should've gotten the fish but didn't and that was clearly my mistake. I decided to go with their burger as they boasted on their menu "Everyone claims to have the best burger.. but they get theirs here!" So I ordered it angry style with their relish. I find it real hard to believe it fresh ground beef, hand-pattied. It was more like a frozen burger. I was hungry ate a majority of it but it was beyond disappointing. I did like that spicy relish. I did sweet potato fries. I think next I need to try the fish or just not eat there and have drinks. Parking is limited and the staff were very friendly.

    We checked out Angry Pepper earlier this week, and we absolutely loved it. The food was delicious and very reasonably priced. I ended up ordering 12 black and shrimp. You can pick from various sauces on the side, and I would recommend the sweet and tangy shrimp sauce that goes with it. Shrimp: 8.8 Scale system 10/10 would be what I want for my last meal 9.9-9.3 driving out of my way to get this 9.2-8.0 like the place and would go back 7.9-7.0 I would come here again if it were presented and don't have anything bad to say 6.9 and below - thanks but no thanks after trying once

    Food was very good! Service was fantastic! They are old school waitresses that know the customers and always checking on you! They have Buzz Time Trivia! And the choice of music was great for this Gen X gal!!!

    sweet potato waffle fries, so worth the upgrade. broccoli salad was tasty too.

    Craving BBQ on Madeira Beach? Angry Pepper Waterside hit the spot! We split the 3-meat plate - tender brisket, pulled pork with their Boner Gold sauce, and smoked chicken with hot BBQ sauce (so good). The real MVPs? The Angry Pepper appetizer (fresh jalapeños stuffed with cheesy bacon bliss spicy but amazing!) and the sweet potato fries... absolute star of the sides. Great service, fun vibe, and food worth coming back for.

    The Wing Thing

    I was extremely disappointed!! I looked at the menu beforehand and wanted to try their wings. "Size matters" right? The 1 lb of wings was a JOKE! THEY WERENT EVEN WINGS! MORE LIKE CHICKEN NUGGETS!!! The sauces weren't the best either, I only ate them cause I was hungry but I would never come back. Seriously though, $17 for this???? I definitely left there "ANGRY" 0 stars in my opinion...wish I could get my money back

    My sexy boy friend

    Music and Food was phenomenal. Their special "Boner" sauce really sticks to its name, erect and powerful. Sadly one of the waitresses was very kind but maybe to kind . She sung in my friends ear which wierdes him out. All in all this restaurant has great food and amazing music with some odd workers!

    I absolutely love this place! Lots of yummy drinks, delicious food and the people are great! For appetizers, the Angry Trio, Jalapeño Bottle Caps, Buffalo Chicken Dip, and Spicy Bonsai Shrimp - blackened. So delicious, every single time. For mains...all the smoked food is delicious, pulled pork, brisket, ribs, chicken sliders...you can't go wrong. We love the big ass burrito in a bowl, the grilled shrimp dinner, blackened. The Mac and cheese is a delicious side...waffle fries are fantastic, honestly, all the sides are great...these are just our favorites! Tons of beer on tap, tropical drinks and delicious Coke!

    Ribs and brisket.  Was not good
    Jeff R.

    Pulled in on the boat today and the smell of the smoker got my attention. Decided on the brisket sandwich. It was piled high with just a little sauce on it. Served perfectly. My impression has greatly changed from my last visit 9 years ago. This was most likely the best brisket I have had from a restaurant. I will for sure continue to visit.

    Angry Wrap, no lettuce, no onions with Sweet Thai Chili and sweet potatoes fries! So good!
    Laura R.

    Angry Wrap, no lettuce, no onions with Sweet Thai Chili and sweet potatoes fries! So good! Again we are locals and this is one of our go to places! Be patient, because they get busy.... But you won't be disappointed. I mean seriously, good good and a great view!

    Where can you park if the lot is full?

    You could park at the Publix about a block away but don't tell them I told you! 😝

    Are non-service Dogs allowed?

    Not such a great place for dogs. Well I love this bar and frequently go there, I’m not sure that I’ve ever seen a dog there and I’m not sure it would be a good place for one.

The waterfront setting adds a lot to the experience, with nice views over the inlet. There used to be a dock where you could pull your boat right up, but it didn't survive the hurricane. Drinks are strong and the selection is solid. On the food side, the shrimp and grits is a standout, and the coconut curry mussels with saffron sauce might be the best thing on the menu. The smoked fish spread is locally made and genuinely good, the fish tacos were a hit at the table, and the crab cakes are done properly with real lump crab meat, not filler. Bathrooms are clean and service comes with genuine warmth. Our waitress was friendly, attentive, and handled our large table well without missing a beat. This is a place I'll keep coming back to.

The restaurant offers a wonderful waterfront view. We enjoyed watching the boats go by. The staff was very friendly, helpful, and attentive. We ordered the following: Oysters Ceviche Florida gulf grouper Whole yellowtail snapper The ceviche featured local catch, shrimp, tuna, scallops, and citrus. It was fresh and tasty. The oysters on the other hand, was not... I love raw oysters, but ones we received did not look appetizing at all. Unfortunately, the taste wasn't any better. I don't like to waste food, so I tried to power through and kept telling myself maybe the next one will be better. I had to spit out the fourth. We asked the staff if the oysters were fresh and they assured that they were, but we politely shared our feedback regarding the look and flavor. Fortunately, the ceviche and the entrees more than made up for the oysters. The grouper entree came with coconut rice, green beans, citrus butter, and fruit salsa while the snapper entree came with whole fish fried crisp, Thai mango sauce, green beans, and coconut rice. Both were excellent and we highly recommend them. Prices were reasonable, too. I have to mention that the bathrooms are on the second floor accessible by stairs. It didn't appear there was another restroom on the main floor or an elevator. We enjoyed (most of) the meal, the service, and the ambiance so much that my husband returned to Buoy's just a couple of weeks later and brought his father, and they let me know they had a great experience.

There was a section with some toys to entertain kids which was a nice touch! Service was good and it wasn't super busy when we got there as it was after the lunch rush. Our table ordered a lot of different dishes. We got the bang bang shrimp, which was delicious and probably the highlight of the meal. I got a lobster roll with fries for my entree and it was okay. There was a ton of lettuce on it, which I was not a fan of and the bun split very easily. I ended up just eating the lobster straight off the plate. Definitely not worth the price in my opinion. I'd go with something else. My girlfriend got the Lobster Alfredo and it was not good. The pasta was super doughy and overcooked. The Alfredo sauce itself didn't have a lot flavor either. The whole thing was just not good and once again not worth the price. Our niece got butter noodles and they were the same way. Overcooked and tasted like they'd been sitting in water or something. She didn't eat it. I would skip the pasta entrees. The other item we were disappointed with was the Crab Rangoon dip. It had a fishy tang to it that we weren't a fan of. Someone in our group got the tacos for taco Tuesday and said they were good. Chicken tenders were also yummy. Overall, we had an okay experience. If we came back, we'd go with different items on the menu for sure.
