    Have been to almost all the locations and first time at this one. Nice newer restaurant wide open and plenty of seating. The staff is friendly and helpful and the menu is consistent from place to place. The oysters are some of then best I've had and the price is reasonable compared to a lot of others. Main meal was also done well with the cobia fish sandwich very good.

    Shrimp and grits

    Great dinner and lunch place. Have come here many times. Service is always good and fast. Pasta portion was very big and came with salad and bread. It was 4/5 could be a little more cheesy imo. I subbed the chicken for scallops and shrimp - very good. My dad loved his shrimp and grits. 5/5. Sister loved her scallops. 5/5. My mom loved her prime rib. 5/5. Ambiance is casual. It was packed in here but not too loud. Got a table right away.

    Grouper slider

    Stopped in for lunch before heading to the airport. I had a lunch special appetizer of frog legs. They didn't have a lot of flavor. I also had a grouper slider ( small version of the grouper sandwich). The slider was good but I couldn't finish the two sides. Potatoes and coleslaw. A little too much for lunch. It was a pretty good meal but not great value.

    I loved this place when visiting Florida. In fact, I think we dined here 3 times in 7 days. The staff was honestly the highlight but the food was also fantastic. Ate at the bar every time and would continue to when I go back because of the great bartenders. Make sure you check out the daily specials advertised when you walk in. Really enjoyed this place and will definitely return when back in the area. This place was definitely a highlight of an amazing trip.

    Fish and chips and side of shrimp in garlic butter!

    Came to Sarasota for the weekend and decided to try this place out after reading the reviews. I will say this place was AMAZING! Food was amazing and service was EXCELLENT! Ashley was our waitress and she was so sweet and attentive. The drinks were delicious and the all the staff we encountered were very friendly, which made the atmosphere very welcoming. The place was very well maintained and our wait time was short. We took longer deciding on what to order! Overall I enjoyed my experience and will definitely be coming again. The prices matched up to the deliciousness of the food.

    This place is awesome. Certain days and times are better than others. The fish and chips take you back to Boston... big serving so be hungry. They have a Slamming Salmon special that is worth its weight in good things for our bodies. Also. The mussels provencale are delicious. But if it's more like lunchtime.... Their fish tacos are the best. That being said AMOB. ,-Has the best hamburger in Sarasota. Yep. i challenge any to show me a better one!

    I have passed this place many times and decided to stop in to see of the food could match my cravings. The food, service, and atmosphere exceeded my expectations. The restaurant has wait staff that include a robot to deliver your meals. It's cool and different. I still enjoy humans. If you need a seafood fix, this is your place.

    We have now eaten here twice, even though we live out of town. We have family there so we visit often. I would recommend anyone eating at this place whenever they wished for seafood. The first time we came here was during The end of Covid and we had our puppies so we sat outside. Luckily it was a beautiful day and everything was set up perfectly for outside service. The servers were wonderful and helpful and the area to chill in was perfect. The second time we came here was just a few days ago. We were here visiting family and we sat inside near the bar. There are tons of booth seats or tables or sit at the high top bar where there is tons of stool seats. Our super server was super friendly and helpful in making our decision decisions of what to eat The first time we came, I had a strawberry daiquiri and some spicy shrimp, appetizer and fish sandwich. This time, we decided to have the mahi-mahi tacos and the grouper plate. I also drink a margarita. Everyone enjoyed their food and we would all come back here again for third try.

    Covina Reuben

    After a round of golf we needed beers for hydration and food for substance so we stopped here after the lunch crowd had left. Brooke took good care of us and quickly provided our refreshments in addition to Covina Reuben's. The cold beers were welcoming but the sandwiches were perfect as were the accompanying fries and Cole slaw. Good service, cold beverages and great reuben sandwiches- definitely worth a repeat visit

    Serrano and cayenne hot sauces that are amazing

    I had the Bang Bang Shrimp and it was fantastic. Probably my favorite shrimp dish I've ever had. I also bought two bottles of hot sauce because it was so good

    Enjoyed an amazing dinner here recently with my father and brother. We arrived around 7 on a…read moreSaturday evening, it was pretty busy, but we only had to wait about 15 minutes to be seated. Once seated, the waiter was very attentive throughout the entire meal. To start our meal, we ordered a a plate of the calamari, which were ok, maybe a bit more rubbery than I like. Side salads were brought out after, which were ok, nothing great, very basic. They also brought some tasty, warm garlic rolls/knotts with the salads. For my entree, I had a tough time deciding, there were a lot of good options on the menu, but I was really interested by the Cacio E Pepe, but it is only available as a meal for (2) which seemed a bit excessive. My brother and I decided to get it together, along with a side of sausage to add some protein to the meal. I've seen videos of pasta made with in a cheese wheel online several times, and have wanted to try it, but this has been my first opportunity. They bring out the cooked pasta, and prepare it in the cheese wheel at the table, which was an added bit of fun for the dining experience. overall it was a fun and tasty meal. Got to try something I've been wanting to for a while. One warning, the restaurant is basically just one large room, so it can get a bit loud, depending on the crowd and how busy it is. But I'd go back, and would recommend this spot to other as well.

It's pretty far from where we live and we had to pass a lot of red lights to get there, almost an hour drive. Aside from that, we considered the prices pretty high but you get what you pay for.

I was seated facing a wall so I didn't get a good long look at my surroundings but between what I did see and looking at photos posted on Yelp the theme seems to be chickens. Our server was friendly and available to answer any questions as we spent time looking over the menu. I settled on The Hitman, a double patty smashed burger with American cheese, hen sauce, fried mozzarella, Nueske's bacon, with a side of garlic parm fries. It isn't listed on the online menu but there is a note the menu changes frequently so it may not match the day's offering. Let me start by saying that two of the people at my table got salads and were disappointed that there was too much lettuce and too little other stuff. With that out of the way, let me talk about The Hitman, which I loved. What is Nueske bacon? This is a special smoked flavorful bacon made by the Nueske family. Fork & Hen uses thick cut, and there were two slices on my burger. My burger towered so high there was no hope of picking it up, so I attacked it with knife and fork. Being made with Focaccia bread certainly added to the height, but so did a thick block of mozzzrella cheese. The cheese, melted on the inside and crispy on the outside, was substantial. I would be careful biting into a hot block of melted cheese, think pizza mouth. In my photo I broke into one corner to show that is cheese, so much cheese. The burger patty part topped with American cheese was by itself great, like you might find at a home cookout or Smashburgers. Other toppings were there but for me this was meat and a lot of cheese. And as much bread as you want. I loved my surprising good cheeseburger.

Our table ordered a couple of dishes: chicken and waffles, southern fried chicken, shrimp fried rice, and the hitman. The water tasted like it came straight from the water fountain outside the restaurant. Chicken was overly breaded and salty, and the corn cake was sour. I also don't know how they managed to dry out dark meat. The waffle was semi burnt. The shrimp "fried rice" was soggy, vinegary, almost sushi rice like texture, and shrimp was heavily salted. The hitman smashed burger... the hitman probably killed people with the insane amount of salt on the plate. See the theme? Lighten up on the salt unless you're trying to give your customers clogged arteries. Extremely disappointing considering all the great reviews we saw before going.
