    Generic empty ketchup bottle
    Clarissa K.

    8-17-24 Late Lunch Let's cut to the chase this place I had bookmarked and it had many reviews so I thought it would have been a winner. Sadly it was not and joins the group of one and done. We parked very close by and once inside waited for the hostess. She appeared in a matter of seconds and asked if we wanted to sit inside or outside. Since we could see from the outside it was screened in we chose outside. Unfortunately with lack of air movement it was warm and the smell of fried fish hung in the air. After we ordered our drinks I ordered a Moscow Mule as none of their specialty drinks sounded too interesting to get. Hubby got a Miller Lite in the bottle. After reviewing the menu he noticed a lack of non seafood items. I told hubby we could go after we get our drinks but he insisted we stay. So he chose fried pickles for us to share and a burger that said 8 ounces but was really 3 ounces after cooking which came over cooked without condiments requests ie mayonnaise. Due to the late hour he just grinned and beared it. The fried pickles were ok I have had them before at other restaurants. They give you a generous amount as we didn't finish them. I ordered the Fried Flounder platter. Note you can only get fried I asked, or grilled not broiled. It came two big pieces of fish on top of French fries and two hush puppies. Flounder has always been my favorite fish this dish was ok nothing memorable about it. I think if it was broiled in butter it would have enhanced the flavor more as I really didn't quite get the flavor this way nor did the hush puppies. My drink the Moscow Mule was meh and so was the flounder platter. Disappointingly so therefore we won't be back. It's not like they could have made it better other than air circulation, cleaner table, ketchup bottle full ours was empty but the fries looked lackluster so I skipped. One and done.

    Grilled Shrimp with Green Beans

    What a great place to go to get awesome service and delicious food! We were greeted and seated very quickly. We came in for lunch and we were looking for some delicious seafood. Our waitress was kind, attentive and friendly! We ordered hushpuppies for appetizer and they were delicious and big! For our entree's we ordered grilled shrimp with green beans and fried shrimp with fries, coleslaw and hushpuppies. The grilled shrimp entree also came with red potatoes but I did not want potatoes, so she offered to give me extra green beans which was so great! The inside has many tables, the outside is covered and filled with many tables as well and they also have an upstairs! The bar area is small but I feel like that is not a problem at all. When we are around this area again, we will definitely be coming back!

    August 14, 2023 1:30pm party of 3 I have very fond memories of Captain Woody's bar when it was located by the marina. I was hesitant to try their newer restaurant in old town Bluffton but what a terrific surprise! The exterior, interior and especially the cool brick arch at the hostess stand are gorgeous! There is a screened patio and a rooftop bar with a dining area. We had a very attentive waiter - I believe his name was Chris. My friends started with Gonzalez Rita (margaritas) and I had a Pineapple Express. The drinks were perfect and strong! In a world of overpriced drinks, $10 was a steal for these delicious drinks! We shared the best fried pickles - the batter was light and not a drop of grease in the basket. Perfect! My friends loved their shrimp po boy and fried flounder sandwiches. I loved the shrimp basket. Shrimp were cooked perfectly and the fries were thick and crisp. We loved our lunch and can't wait to come back for the rooftop bar! It's gorgeous upstairs and looks like a good time.

    Pretty good spot. We lowkey expected the food to be a bit better from the reviews and the wait. Definitely reminded me of a southern/ seafood Applebees.

    Great local spot and have to say our favorite was the basket of cornbread. So much so that the leftovers made it back to NJ with us....

    Good fish sandwich in a comfortable relaxed atmosphere. Outside dining may be covered off season providing heat even when cold out

    The first time I came here, it was pandemic, the tables and tables stacked to the side, and they…read moreonly had take out. But what's a desperate for pho girl going to do in Bluffton?? The takeout was neatly packaged and deconstructed (I just got the pho tai), and you put it together at home. It was quite good! Fast forward when pandemic started to let up and the tables were out and you could eat in. Wow, well the eat-in experience was just way more enjoyable. But I really just enjoyed ordering food at sitting for a change. The workers are super nice and accommodating. It gets busy here at times! And no surprise... as the only pho business in town! Now is it the best pho I've ever had? No, but it is quite good and I'm not going to be picky! They have the basics plus some. Wish they had the coconut juice and smoothies, but I rather have the good food. We come here almost weekly, if not more! Warning however, don't expect big city cheaper prices. This is the only pho in town and they charge in line with it. What we order for 2 adults and a kid is *almost* twice what we'd pay even in CT. But it's good enough to warrant it. If there's ever another decent pho place that comes to Bluffton however, it might be beneficial competition for diners. A big draw... their pork dumplings are AMAZING!! My daughter and husband loves them so much, they insist on their own appetizer each. They are so well crisped all around and just so tasty. Definitely recommend! Also, I always end get their regular beef pho (pho tai) and we get my daughter the chicken on broken rice. (Oddly it's not actually on the menu, but they have it). It's like sliced up thin chicken in a delicious seasoning that's sweet but also a tiny bit of a kick. My daughter hates spicy but still eats this! It comes with a sweet sauce (one similar to the kind that you pour on a bun (noodle) salad dish), and my daughter likes to dip the chicken slices in it. I keep thinking I'd branch out to try other dishes, so maybe I will eventually! If you are hungry for pho, or some other great dishes, definitely come here!

    Great lunch options. Delicious and great service. Little gem in Bluffton. The wonton soup broth…read morewas perfectly balanced.
