    Came here on a weekend with some coworkers and was promptly seated on a Saturday evening. The place was pretty busy considering the population of the area. I really liked the ambiance on the patio with the tiki torches lit up at night. We ordered smoked yellowfin tuna dip, calamari, and Jalapeno poppers for the table. We were mainly here for drinks. The calamari and jalapeno poppers were good. The smoked yellowfin tuna dip was awful. It tasted like canned tuna salad. I also had a sand blaster which is their signature drink with 151 and it was pretty good. A little sweet but I would order it again. No complaints about the service. Our waitress was really sweet.

    Great beachfront seafood restaurant with a large outdoor patio and tiki bar! Shared a fried seafood platter which was perfect for two. The grouper was delicious. Also came with scallops, shrimp, crab cake, oysters and a choice of two sides. Great service and fun atmosphere!

    Crab claws + hush puppies

    Best restaurant in the area by FAR! The blackened grouper tacos + Ahi Tuna BLT were both perfect. I crave the crab claws with the homemade cocktail + tartar sauces, daily. Great service every time we went from the hosts, bar, and waiters.

    We split the seafood platter, which was plenty for both of us. Our service was excellent, very friendly and attentive. Our seat overlooked the beach and was in the sunshine. Great ambiance! Afterwards we walked through the bar and out to the beach for a sunset stroll.

    Food was not very good. Wasn't blow away by anything. Grouper imperial had no flavor but I heard grouper old school is better. Cheese grits were also bland and had no flavor. Edamame, calamari, and oysters were just ok. Crab claws were actually pretty good. The frozen coconut mojito though was so delicious, most of the drinks were delicious! Great outdoor bar area to grab a drink while on the beach. Service was good. We met part- owner George and he was so nice and kind.

    Seafood and drinks with a nice view. Good food and nice waitstaff. Good place for a dozen and a local brew. It can get very busy during high season, expect a wait.

    Poor Service, But Amazing Food We were told we'd be seated next, but instead, three other families--each with the same number of people--were seated ahead of us. It felt like we were completely ignored after being told to wait "just a few more minutes." When we finally got a table, the food was amazing. I got the grilled shrimp, my mom had the chicken tenders, and my Mimi got the Goliath strips--everything was delicious. Just wish the service had matched the quality of the food. Mixed experience overall.

    We were looking for a seafood place on our first night in Carrabelle Beach. The Red Pirate was…read morehighly recommended by several we asked and they he menu looked good so we drove over. It was quite crowded so there was a 30 minute wait. We didn't mind because there was a lot to explore and plenty of seating outside. There was a mini golf course, a gift shop and two more dining rooms. Both of those had a bar, dimmer lighting and live music plus one had outdoor seating. We didn't know they had other dining rooms so I told the hostess First Available. We ended up in the family dining room. Not complaining; just informing you that you do have a choice. You can get drinks in there but it doesn't have the atmosphere of the two bars. We were seated and ordered a Coke and a Coke Zero. I tasted mine and it had this awful muddy flavor that lingered. I looked at Jenn and she had the same look on her face. I don't know what was wrong with those drinks but they were so so bad. We told the server and she swapped both for ice tea. Sadly the tea had the same dirty disgusting taste. I don't know what's in the water there but it almost made me retch. We didn't order anything else to drink. We both ordered appetizers next- I got coconut shrimp and Jenn got the Buffalo Skins, basically loaded tater skins. Both were delicious!!! The appetizers were generous portions and quite filling. Jenn didn't want an entree after that but I ordered one - the southern fried chicken sandwich with a loaded baked potato. I should've followed Jenn's lead and skipped the entree. By the time it arrived (which wasn't an unreasonable wait) I was full, quite thirsty and ready to go. The sandwich looked very good, as did the tater but I couldn't eat it. I asked for a box and took it all back to our AirBnB. I did nibble to taste the fried chicken and it was quite good. I'm a fried chicken snob and quite picky. It was hot, not too much breading, well seasoned and the fillet was juicy. The only down side was the sauce on it. It was awful! I used a napkin to try to wipe it off. The server did ask me if I wanted it and I said yes (it was listed on the menu with the sandwich). I should've asked for it on the side. If you order the chicken sandwich you might consider asking for the special sauce on the side. I'm sure many people like it but for me it ruined the sandwich. I did bring the sandwich and baked tater back and will eat it later if I can. The baked potato looked very good, not too small and very well loaded. I didn't taste it though so I can't tell you much about it. They brought the sour cream separately too. Smart! Now I can reheat the tater. I didn't try any of the seafood except the coconut shrimp. I have to say it was excellent-large shrimps and a generous portion. I didn't need the entree at all. The place seems very popular and I will suggest giving it a try. I didn't notice anyone else complaining about the drinks so I don't know how to explain our experience with the Cokes and the tea. Neither of us could drink even one drink of them. I read reviews after we left and one even mentioned the delicious water. Maybe tuck a bottle of Aquafina in your bag or pocket, just in case.

We had been camping at Torreya State Park but unfortunately, my ankle wasn't living up to expectations. Rather than put ourselves in a precarious situation, my wife got us reservations in Apalachicola and we drove down. We almost went to a little more upscale place, but as soon as I saw Hole in the Wall seafood, I changed my mind. Yes, it's a hole in the wall, but the best kind. Inviting, homie, Kitchie, and down to earth. The decor consists of hats donated by patrons. There are several wooden tables, including some large ones and a good sized bar. We opted for the bar. Cliff, the owner, is a former molecular biology professor and a fellow Hoosier. We noticed the oysters being shucked and they looked fresh and massive. We started off with a dozen raw oysters, a pound of their Cajun peel and eat boiled shrimp, and two grouper and oyster combo baskets with fries and hush puppies. Everything was outstanding. We ended up getting another dozen oysters. They were plump, sweet, and undeniably fresh. The peel and eat shrimp were amazing. They weren't just the typical throw some old bay on and dump a ton of butter in variety. The flavor was unique and rich. I joked with Cliff that I thought about drinking the juice and he said he had people order bread just to sop it up with. The fried grouper and oysters were outstanding. Big, flaky chunks of grouper, perfectly breaded and fried. The breading was just right. Light and crisp. Not heavy or greasy and the least. Ryan, the young man shucking the oysters, is obviously an expert, and each oyster was perfectly shucked. The beer selection is small, but excellent. I recommend the Oyster City Hooter Brown Ale and the Estrella Jalisco if you're in the mood for something a bit lighter. I can't say enough good things about this place. We'll be back... tomorrow.

We walked up to the truck they have several tables and chairs out front and a cool fishing pole art piece on the side. I ordered the grouper sandwich and the much famed mango slaw. Wowzers! It was really good I would even say it surpassed the grouper sandwich I had the day before at a restaurant in the area! I dare say it was quite impressive. The fish tasted very fresh and was fried to perfection and the slaw was tasty the cabbage to mayo ratio was spot on I couldn't even taste the mayo which I loved and deeply appreciated. lol.

We had the Mango Slaw for a side, and I wanted to beg for the recipe because it was fantastic. I'm sad I can't hit them up for lunch every day.
