    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 first visited this restaurant in April 2025 and it was absolutely amazing - great beer…read moreselection, incredible food, fair prices, and excellent service. We were so impressed that we recommended this place to multiple people and were genuinely excited to come back last Sunday. Unfortunately, this visit was a complete disappointment from start to finish. The service was noticeably worse, the beer selection was extremely limited compared to before, and the food was honestly some of the worst seafood we've had in years. We ordered the fried calamari and the mixed grilled seafood plate. The calamari was chewy, flavorless, and the batter had an unpleasant texture. The mixed seafood plate was even worse - the oysters looked, smelled, and tasted awful, and the fish, shrimp, stuffed crab and scallops were completely bland. Even the fried okra, which should be an easy Southern staple, was disappointing. We left wondering if they changed chefs or management because the difference from our first experience was shocking. Even my mom, who is far from a picky eater, could barely eat her food. It's genuinely upsetting because this used to be a place we loved and enthusiastically recommended to others. Sadly, after this experience, we won't be returning.

    The Brick Wall is exactly what you want out of a sports bar -- right environment, right energy, and…read moresomehow still family friendly. We brought the whole crew and it worked. The loaded tots were S tier. I could eat my body weight in those alone and call it a meal. I had the BLT and it's a proper BLT -- thick bacon and a lot of it, none of that two-sad-strips business. The hush puppies were awesome too. Every table's got a bottle of Ed's Red, a hyper-local hot sauce, and man, that stuff is good. You love to see Florida products and Florida food represented like that. My father-in-law got the captain's platter -- straight seafood galore. The scallops were my favorite, though to be fair scallops are my favorite just about anywhere, long as they're fresh. Growing up on the Gulf, you can tell when seafood's fresh and hasn't been sitting frozen for a month, and these passed the test. Our server was dope. Sports bars just get better when the wait staff actually knows sports and can banter with you -- makes the whole place feel that much more real. Only real complaint: not nearly enough Gator memorabilia on the walls. Fix that and it's perfect.

    Awesome place with friendly staff and delicious food. The live music was amazing and set the…read moreatmosphere just right. I sat at the bar and enjoyed the Brick Wall lager with a mouthwatering burger. The OG is as described- a huge 1/2 pound burger that will definitely leave you satisfied. Highly recommend hitting this spot when you are in Port St. Joe.

    If it were a review for just the food, it would be 5 stars. To start we had the pretzel bites with…read morebeer cheese, and mustard; cheese curds with marinara. We had the Sully Sullenberger, Italian, and Blue Angel were all very good! The service was great as well! The bowling alley is what brings this review down. The lanes are no where near large enough, making it unnecessarily crowded. The use of stringed pins is weird, and drastically changes pin action. A worker inexplicably walked over, and removed my ball form the ball return causing me to have to retrieve it again. Oh! And it was extremely hot in the alley area. If you're going here to eat, do not hesitate. If you're thinking about bowling, I would find a real bowling alley.

    Atmosphere is loud, but it's a bowling alley so that is expected. Service was wonderful…read more Horribly disappointed with the LAX BLT - I specifically ordered it because of the panko-fried avocado (I love this and haven't found a place with it in 4 years). Menu description: panko-fried avocado, crispy bacon, heirloom tomatoes, arcadian lettuce, roasted red pepper and garlic crema on toasted sourdough. It was toasted white bread, chopped romaine, plain avocado slices, regular tomatoes, crispy bacon, and the crema. If I wanted a basic BLT, I'd have ordered it. And probably paid less. Im not a picky person but one should be able to expect to get a product as advertised. Waitress was fantastic - I explained I know it's not her, but I was super disappointed. I said I'd still eat it but she said they'd comp it and offer me something else. The New Orleans Pasta was delicious. Yum! Rated 3 instead of 2 because of the waitress and service
