The marina setting is such a vibe, with dockside picnic tables, a tiki bar, and a small indoor space with a bar and a few tables. We were genuinely blown away by the quality of the food. Everything tasted incredibly fresh the menu says "caught and served same day," and it absolutely lives up to that promise. The blackened fish tacos were a standout and some of the best we've had. The Caesar salad dressing is made In house and is absolutely delicious! We added the blackened mahi and it was filling and delicious. I have mastered a homemade recipe and I'm hard to impress when it comes to Caesar . (We ordered it extra saucy) The only thing we didn't love was the grouper spread, but that was more of a personal preference--it leaned more toward a tuna fish style spread rather than the creamier version we were expecting. The service was great too, the waiters are obviously kept super busy in a spot like that but still managed to get the job done with a smile! Overall, this was easily some of the best food we've had in Florida in the 10 years we've been coming here for spring break. We'll definitely be adding this spot to our yearly rotation.

Both come with a generous serving of crispy fries and a cup of ketchup.

The place is a little hole in the wall that gets quite a bit of traffic on the weekends, but we managed to get our food within 15 or so minutes despite the crowd. The food overall was good. Not amazing, not bad, just good. Burgers are easy to do well and hard to do REALLY well, and Skinny's knows this in stride. The burger itself is a fine deal (especially considering tourist prices): $9 for a cheeseburger. However, what put a sour taste in my mouth (metaphorically) was the chicken bites. See that little plate of 5-6 chicken nugget things? Yeah, that was $11. Very tasty, but at $2 a wing, that is truly the ripoff of a century. Overall, Skinny's hits the middle of the road in all aspects: food, ambiance, value. And when other joints are charging an arm and a leg for a decent meal, Skinny's stays true to its roots: a solid burger and fries, a cheap beer, and a full belly for under $20.

This was my first Capriotti visit and this is one of their most popular sandwiches, even voted by someone as America's greatest sandwich. It was a dense and very good sandwich, like a Thanksgiving leftover meal. In fact, it was created as a Thanksgiving leftover meal by Aunt Bobbie, and featured in the first Capriotti restaurant in Wilmington, DE. This looks like a solid sandwich shop with subs, cheesesteaks, and salads. They have about a half dozen tables lined up inside, and more shared seating outside. The staff was helpful as we worked on what we should order. I liked the place, bright and clean, music, and one TV. They offer fries, including loaded fries called CAPastrami Fries. They sounded so good and I regret my decision not to try them, a good reason for a return visit.

They have inside and outside seating here. Service is great and friendly. You order with them at the front and they bring your food to you. Definitely a must stop. Taco salads are really good here and only around $10-11. Burritos are up to $20 each. I'm happy with the tacos bc I don't want to feel full at the beach.

The fish tacos were perfectly seasoned and delicious, while the clam chowder was loaded with clams and pleasantly not overly salty. To top it all off, the Maria Sauvignon Blanc was light, crisp, and refreshing. I can appreciate why their Key Lime Tart waa voted best!! The Key Lime Tart was outstanding!! Perfectly balancied sweet and tart flavors with a creamy filling. A great way to finish our meal!!

The place itself is really nice and located right on the pier. The Pier Cheer shack is also a nice touch. Recommend.
