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.

I had the freedom dogs--just two grilled hot dogs, but accompanied by tasty fresh pickles. I got a side of baked beans (perfectly sweet) and the stir fried cabbage (insanely good, so buttery and herbaceous). The boyf got the NYE special: beef stew over rice with a Hawaiian roll. It was fantastic. We finished our meal off with banana pudding. For people who usually don't like banana pudding, we loved it! Super nice guy working there. 10000/10. Oh and it was only $36 (with tip I think) for all of this-- all with sizable portions. I was impressed.

My husband ordered a 1/4 lb burger and I ordered a pork loaded baked potato. They were out of baked potatoes so I ordered a pulled pork sandwich, with hush puppies and slaw. We both enjoyed our sandwiches! I especially appreciated the lightly toasted bread which prevented it from getting soggy. The little bit of crunch was a bonus. The hush puppies were crispy in the outside and not too soft on the inside. They were very flavorful! We enjoyed our meal, our friendly server and the gorgeous view of the bay. We will be back!

Up To No Good Tavern really stays committed to the concept... I'll give them that…read more They tell you upfront you have to order at the bar--cool, no problem. But apparently that rule applies even when you are already sitting at the bar. Not near it. Not across the room. Literally sitting at it. So there I am, thinking a bartender might... I don't know... bartend. Instead, I'm expected to get up, walk around, and order at the same bar from a different location like I unlocked a side quest. At that point I just sat there like, "Is this a test? Do I win a prize if I figure out the correct angle?" Spoiler: I didn't. Because I left. No drink. No service. Just confusion and an early exit. Atmosphere: decent Service: more of a DIY experience Drinks: still a mystery Up To No Good Tavern--where you can sit at the bar and still somehow not be in the right place

Plenty of indoor seating as well as a large outdoor space with picnic tables, open area and bandstand. We went for lunch on a Wednesday and had no trouble being immediately seated. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating to customizing your order. The smoked wings were perfect. Nice meaty crispy pieces with good mild smoke flavor. Lots of wing sauce choices and I went for naked with sweet BBQ sauce on the side. Excellent homemade ranch with celery. Grilled grouper basket was generous although our substitute onion rings were meh. Fried shrimp basket was very generous and cooked perfectly! Fries were lightly battered and seasoned and very good. Coke slaw was sweet, creamy and generous. Fried okra was obviously fresh, lightly dusted and outstanding! We have added this to our list of must visit spots on SGI.

Great spot during the summer. They will usually have outdoor events/live music with cheap beer…read more However, during the winter months/off season, they are very short staffed - so, you will be waiting a while as the bartender is typically working the entire restaurant (food running, making drinks, taking orders, and checking on each individual table). Despite clientele being light during dinner time, we still had to wait a good while for things to hit the table. However, the server/bartender was very kind and communicative. Our recent visit left us feeling disappointed. They used to have an amazing smash burger, but they told us they never had smash burgers during our recent visit - which was very confusing. We ordered burgers and patty melts, which were not good. The bread was entirely too big and dry, and the "garden" on the burgers was withered and warm. Unfortunately, we won't be going back, unless there's an event.
