    Kitchen? Strange set up
    Katie D.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]This is a good place to come for a beer/cocktail and the view.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was good. The burgers were ok. The grouper was decent. Conch fritters were not good nor were jalapeño poppers (runny). The conch fritters were almost all breading with very little conch but still somehow managed to taste fishy? They have what appears to be a food truck off to the side, not an actual kitchen. Did not offer tap water so we had to buy bottled water and also no coffee except flavored pod-type.

    Philly cheesesteak

    Our party of 4 arrived about 6:20pm on Friday night. Kitchen closes at 7pm so it was perfect timing. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Sitting by the water for the sunset was lovely.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our server was friendly and helpful. The table favorite as far as food was the Boom Boom Shrimp! We also had chicken fajitas, Philly cheesesteak, fried cod and fish tacos around the table. I was impressed at the serving size of the chicken fajitas, it came with a whole plate full of grilled chicken, onions and peppers and you make the fajitas yourself with the provided shells and add ins. Great experience overall. The food was well-liked by everyone.

    I had a wonderful lunch here today! [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was a gloomy windy day but it still felt so nice to dine out by the water.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I was hoping I could get a grouper or snapper ruben sandwich today but I found out it's a special they don't always have. I'll be sure to check out for when it becomes available again. Stephanie, our server was helpful, professional and pleasant. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Our table was very clean and as was the bathroom too.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Now onto the best part, the food: I ordered myself a fried grouper sandwich with sweet potatoes fries and boy was it good! I was pleased with the portion, how quick it arrived and of course the taste of it. The other party members also loved their grouper sandwich and grouper bites. [[HIGHLIGHT]]If eating great food outdoors by the water is your thing, this spot is for you![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Cute little tiki bar right on the water![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Good food, fair prices, and a chill vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Food took a bit to come out but was fresh. I had the special of the day: 2 lobster rolls for the price of 1. Amazing deal, though the lobster itself was just okay. Fries were salty. The fried whole belly clams were a standout, and the calamari was solid too. Their blackened grouper sandwich came recommended and didn't disappoint, flavorful and satisfying. Would come back again.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Fresh food with a local vibe, on the intercostal[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. Friendly and attractive service. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's tuck away into a marina.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The delicious food is cooked to order in a food truck, near the tiki bar.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Did zen raw oysters...so large and fresh!

    Love this place! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great view and great food![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Never had something I didn't like here. This time I ordered dozen raw oysters and a sangria and a shock top beer. The oysters were amazing! Fresh, large, plump....so good. My family comes from Cape Cod so it's so nice having the flavors and seafood of the Cape here! Will be back again and again and again!

    Fast service and fair prices paired with quick friendly service and a nice outdoor dining makes for a great resturant. The Blackend Fish Tacos were great!

    This is a hidden gem on the water, next to a marina. It's all outdoor dining. Mostly under a large tiki hut and a patio with umbrella tables. Our server was Liz and she was super friendly and attentive. I had the grilled shrimp basket. It was all delicious. The fries were like the crispy McDonald's fries. They have Coke products but no Coke Zero. They have motorcycle parking closest to the water, but the parking lot is fairly small in general.

    Snapper Reuben sandwich special. Delicious
    Lindsay K.

    Cute little spot for good food and a view. Reuben sandwich with snapper fish was on a special today and it was absolutely delicious. Probably one of the best ones we've ever had. They have live music. Patio and indoor seating. We stopped here after our paddle boarding at Weeki Wachee. Sarah was our server and she was very friendly and fast.

    Lobster Rolls
    RJ L.

    Have eaten here a handful of times. Tonight had a fisherman's platter to go to take over to Marker 48 to listen to live music. The seafood was fresh. It was not the largest platter especially if you are used to Woodmans size platter in Essex Ma but it was good. My favorite it always the shrimp but we went as my friend wanted the whole belly clams. I personally would have liked them a bit cleaner but she really enjoyed them. I would go again and appreciate having something from the "north shore" here in Hernando.

    Ohhh what a beautiful place, the view is stunning, I have been there many times. The food very good. The waiters are very attentive and friendly, they make a very good drinks

    Philly cheese steak

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Good service and decent food with live music on the water.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. lobster roll and Philly cheese steak is good. Fries not so much.

    Great quality food and very inexpensive!

    What day do they have the 2 for 1 lobster rolls?

    As of May, it was typically Tuesdays but availability and days of the week can carry weekly. I typically called late Monday/early Tuesday to inquire.

    Dose this restaurant have inside seating?

    It's an outdoor tiki hut.

I had a Zombie as my first drink, and it is very well presented and STRONG! I prefer,my first drink at an establishment to be strong cause then I can lighten it up later. Then I had a Rum Barrel, not as strong, but well presented and delicious! Note: Prices for drinks are worth every dime!

I had just eaten a huge breakfast, but had to stop. This place is so warm and welcoming, so cool and laid back, so friendly and chill. It's great for all ages. There's a huge deck, overlooking the Gulf... and an extra tiki bar, off to the side (and who doesn't need an extra tiki bar?!) The food menu is tempting and extensive (grouper, stop calling to me!) and the drink menu is fun and fabulous (and also calling to me). I had a banana/amoretto concoction that made me wonder what I'd been doing with my life, when I should have been here. I kept trying to get hungry enough to order food, but couldn't do it. I'll just have to go back ASAP and get you the seafood and starters info you richly deserve. Sam's is right there on the waterfront, next to the picnic pavilion. The private parking lot is sort of small-but somehow I snagged that spot at noon on a Saturday. There's also street parking close by. I'll bet it's packed at night, though, when they have live music and it's sunset time. Come check them out. If you get there before me, please tell me about the food!
