    On the way to Tampa I stopped here for conch fritters and left with more food. Everything on the menu looks tempting. Cool environment very clean and the staff is very friendly.go check it out.

    This was my first time at this restaurant. The employees were nice, the prices were reasonable and the restaurant was clean. I ordered conch balls and conch salad. The conch salad was full of conch and really delicious. But the conch balls were good, but no conch was in them. I opened all 6 balls, to see and they were hollow. That was a waste of my $5. So next time, I'll order conch salad and a cracked conch dinner.

    I can not say enough good things about this amazing restaurant!! We got fried conch, grouper fingers and fried shrimp. The food was amazing! Best conch I have ever had. Staff was friendly, place was clean and if I am ever back in the area I will definitely come back!!

    Cracked conch, fried shrimp, and fries.

    Went to Billy Joe's a week ago, and the food was great. The place is a little small, I wouldn't necessarily bring a group to sit down and eat. You can but I wouldn't suggest it. Outside of that the service and food were excellent. As I waited for my food, the owner played afrobeats on the stereo as the food was being preparing. He also served us this Bahamian coconut concoction that was really refreshing. All in all it was a 9.5 out of 10. If you're still skeptical, they have a $6.99 lunch special so you can try what you like.

    Steamed Conch

    Service: the food took mad long to prepare. We ordered a steamed conch dinner plate with rice and peas Cole slaw and mac and cheese. The food took over 30 minutes. Was it worth the wait? I'm haitian so I'm very bias. Was it better then haitian lumbi absolutely not would I order it again no. Was it good? It wasn't the worse but definitely not the best conch I ever had. Lacked spices was very mild and bland imo.

    Billy's joe is a nice spot in the broward area. It's small, clean and the service is fast. The portion sizes are huge and very filling. The fried conch with fries platter is good and worth the price of $15.00 dollars. They also have daily specials and fresh conch salad available. There's parking available in front of the restaurant. But don't plan on having a sit down dinner because there no room for that. Location would be ideal for ordering large platters and taking it home. A bonus is the food tasted fresh and the batter they used was light, the conch was crispy and not greasy. Again the portion sizes are big!. To end the only negative I found was that they need to update the credit/debit card system. They are currently using a cell phone to charge costumers and honestly that needs to be changed. It's a very slow process and some costumers may feel like their identity and security are at risk. Besides that good location, fresh food. Take cash!

    Believe me, this is a take out place but the food is a mix of homemade goodness with restaurant quality fare. Simple, flavorful, fresh and made with care. Delicious.

    Whole snapper, white rice, potato salad, chopped salad with lime

    A small take out spot ducked off in a shopping plaza but the food was big on flavor. They did get my order wrong BUT I am not mad they did. I ordered steam fish and got stew fish instead. Oh my gawd the gravy/sauce on the rice is so good and fish cooked PERFECTLY fall off the bone yet firm. I don't know how else to explain it... this is my new weekend go to

    Rice,Fried Grouper,Fried Shrimp,Potato Salad, Plantain and Mac n Cheese.

    This is my second time trying out this place. A mom and pop gem is tucked away if you blink you miss it. The seafood is made to order and seasoned to perfection. The prices are very reasonable. I will definitely be going back.

    shrimp and conch

    Everything was super delicious! The service was great, very attentive and friendly. Both the shrimp and conch platters were well seasoned & cooked to perfection. Highly recommend

    Delicious fried conch!
    Sherea B.

    I had Billy Joe delicious seafood from the food truck before, so I was very excited to try the seafood at this restaurant. I was very impressed and surprised at the amount of shrimp and fresh conch that I received when I ordered my food! My favorite is the conch salad it was loaded with conch and very delicious! Definitely my go to spot for seafood , I will be back again!

    Such a huge menu selection. I can't wait to dig in with the fam!

    Excellent fresh seafood with a family owned flair. Highly recommend…read more After a long day of meetings, my colleague wanted to get some fresh seafood while waiting for traffic to subside. Not familiar familiar with the area, we looked up fresh seafood in the area with Fresh & Wild appearing at the top of our search. To be clear, aesthetically it looks like a mom and Pops establishment more than a fancy restaurant. We are only concerned with how good the food and service services. We love, mom and Pops restaurants. It is a little hot and there's not a lot of indoor seating, luckily we found a table for two. For starters, we are the croquette which I never had before and they were very tasty. I personally ordered six oysters. They were fantastic. Very fresh. As for dinner, I ordered the blackened flounder fillet with side of rice and beans and fresh broccoli.. the blackened fillet was cooked perfectly and very tasteful. The broccoli was indeed freshly steamed, and the rice and beans were really good. I never had beans that had some form of salsa in it. The food was plenty and I was very full. The service was excellent. They had a lot of takeout orders also. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for good seafood with great service.

    We visited this establishment after finding it online while searching for seafood restaurants in…read morethe Hollywood area, but unfortunately our experience was disappointing. The exterior had visible trash and debris scattered all over the frontage and parking lot, a poor first impression for a restaurant. Inside, there was an extremely strong fish odor that made the dining space uncomfortable. While some fish smell is expected in a seafood market, it was quite overpowering for a place serving meals. We chose to sit outside, but the outdoor seating area appeared disorganized. Tables and chairs were scattered, the tablecloths looked dirty, and the floor was wet from what appeared to be a spilled drink that hadn't been cleaned up. There was no host stand and no greeting from anyone when we arrived, so it wasn't clear if it was self seating or hosted. we couldn't tell employees from the customers. Eventually someone told us we could sit anywhere. The staff member who assisted us was friendly, but he didn't seem very familiar with the menu when we asked about the differences between the fish options. We were also told they were out of sugar-free beverages and there was no beverage menu available. With some attention to cleanliness and organization, this place could likely offer a much better dining experience. The place seemed better suited as a seafood market rather than a restaurant, so we ultimately decided to leave and dine elsewhere. We hope the management takes note of these issues, as with some improvements this could be a much more enjoyable dining experience.

We have tried the different varieties of crab on the…read moremenu and have always landed (no pun) back on the dungeness for how much meat they yield. Also learned they are highly sustainable. The service is always great and just want to say we adore when our server Karen is available. Ask for her, you will be thrilled. That's not say the others aren't also spectacular at anticipating your needs and menu knowledge, but she has a sparkling personality and doesn't miss a beat. It also says a lot when someone has worked there for years and years. It says without words that employee retention is a reflection of the company itself (management and owners). I definitely highly recommend this environment for those who enjoy a lively place as there is a fun and unique way in which they honor birthdays (a great spot for these celebrations), every guest is given a wooden mallet (hammer) to break the crab shells, however, when they announce a birthday wish over the speakers throughout the array of dining room options (one being a large barge on the canal), EVERYONE bangs their mallets on the tables which creates a cacophony of sound! SO much fun, but do not go there if you have a headache or are looking for a low key atmosphere. We adore The Rustic Inn, as it also has a very New England vibe and that happens to be where I'm from. It is consistently great, and it is a little spendy, but it's CRAB, so don't expect it to be cheap. If you want a delicious meal with top tier hospitality, in a down home environment, The Rustic Inn is the best around and conveniently located right off I-95

And if crustaceans are on the menu, say less. Thank God I'm not allergic. Rustic Inn is big. There's like...one, two, maybe three entrances? We parked in the back by the takeout window, then headed inside only to walk all the way up to the host stand just to get seated near the same entrance we originally came through. Whatever. Worth it. Forget all the Michelin star this, the Michelin star that- Rustic I. runs like a well-oiled machine. They call themselves "best garlic crabs" and they're not lying. We kicked things off with a dozen meaty oysters. Then came the pièce de résistance: the $74.95 garlic crab clusters. This was the perfect amount for the two of us- especially with that little bowl of buttery garlic redskin potatoes. If you're expecting those rubbery crab legs that just bend instead of crack- not here. These legs snapped exactly how they're supposed to and every bite was loaded with sweet crab meat. Our server hooked us up with the plastic bib and all the crab tools too so you can get every last piece in those tight nooks and crannies. Since hubs and I don't know when to quit, we ordered the fried oysters too. The oysters themselves were plump and fresh, but I wasn't jiving with the batter. Maybe a lighter dredge and let the oysters do the talking. Service was on point though, my cocktail actually had a decent kick and by the time we left, we were happy and messy. Exactly how a crab feast is supposed to end. Don't worry- you get wet wipes for your hands and there's a sink and soap dispenser to rid of all that butter and garlic from your hands.

I politely asked if the seasoning could simply be left off due to an allergy, and my request was refused. Rather than accommodating a simple dietary restriction, I was told that the dish wouldn't taste the way the chef intended. While I understand wanting to preserve the intended flavor, customer health and safety should come first--especially when dealing with allergies. I find it concerning that no effort was made to accommodate a reasonable request or even ask about the severity of the allergy. In today's restaurant industry, flexibility and customer care are important. Unfortunately, I found the service to be very unaccommodating, and given the high prices, I expected much better. I will not be returning.

The restaurant is on the east side of 441 just south of Sheridan street. We came from the east and made a u turn at 441 and entered the parking lot through the Mobil gas station. Parking is at a premium here as there's a Family Dollar store and a Sedano's supermarket in the same strip. They specialize in seafood boils. On the window outside they were advertising chargrilled oysters for a $1 each. Dine in only. Woohoo. My husband and I each ordered a dozen oysters and one side of potatoes. The chargrilled oysters were great. Dowsed in garlic butter, and served hot, they actually tasted chargrilled. They came with lemon wedges and a few slices of bread to sop up the oyster flavored butter. The side of potatoes were three small red bliss potatoes that had been steamed. They were plain -- no seasoning --but that was okay as I also dipped them in the leftover garlicky butter. Two things I didn't particularly care for were 1. that they served plastic ware to eat the oysters. And 2. They automatically include a gratuity on the bill (but they said so up front). To sum up: Bottom line -- liked the oysters (especially for $1 each) but didn't like having to use the plastic forks.
