The oysters were very good and on special Thursday $16 or $20 a dozen. Also the baked scallops were delicious! The shrimp scampi flatbread was okay, but wasn't a flat bread, it was a small pizza crust. The draft beers also were on special and the blueberry and mango were very good. Nice views and cute birds came to visit us and wait for scraps.

Delicious food. Great atmosphere. Service was spot on. This is a dive bar so nothing fancy but the food is well made. Get the home made key lime pie. Best ever!!!

One of my favorite dives.... Wednesday is wing night! Lots of beer choices! Large menu, lots of choices!

Came to this place last Sunday...mid-day and it was busy!! But that didn't slow service a bit. One of the bartenders (who was already off shift) asked to grab us a beer while we were waiting. Nice start!! Other bartender was by just a minute later to take our order. Food was out to us fast! We had the peel and eat shrimps (huge, fresh and delish) as well as the chicken nachos. Ample helpings of both, and we were def full!! Live music on the outside patio. Great seating out there as well as along the waterway on the side of the building! Other places would have struggled being so full...this place shines!!

I'd like to say first off, the poor server we had today (young blonde), was extremely overwhelmed and was trying her best, and she was getting slammed by so many tables and there was just 1 other server there during a busy night. I felt so sorry for her being yanked around by so many people beginning to get angry with her for taking so long. I wish I had more to give than I did, but unfortunately I didn't. I tipped her 30% and thanked her for all she's doing, but I know I didn't make a difference. The food was outstanding. I got Mahi Mahi tacos, and lobster queso as our appetizer. The queso was the perfect thickness, although it could've used a little more lobster which tasted like imitation crab. It is what it is, but I as really good nonetheless. I only got my drinks refilled once, but like I said, the girl was overwhelmed, so I'm not going to complain too much about that. People are definitely understaffed, and it's beginning to be a huge problem everywhere.

Ollie's isn't beautiful and spotless, but it's delicious and welcoming. This has been my go to spot almost every weekend since I move down to Florida in 2016. Not sure when they reopened but since then we've been almost every weekend or every week or at least several times a month. Their food is always consistent and their staff is always very nice and recognize us as soon as we come in the door. Love that they have daily specials and something for everyone.

Great dive spot on the water with excellent fresh seafood! April was very attentive and friendly! We always stop here when we visit our friends in New Port Richey. The Grouper was yummy, the Mussels and Clams were delish! Our friends had the Mahi Salad and the Tacos, which they liked. I highly recommend this place if you're in the area. They have nightly music on their patio every night as well.

The food is always consistently delicious. Our table shared the calamari (perfection for garlic lovers). Steamed shrimp (several flavors, all are equally delicious) chic ceasar salad (loaded with chicken) prices are reasonable. Sells beer by the pitcher but wine lovers are out of luck. A restaurant pour is all you get, not what you want while friends are sharing their pitcher of beer (Your wine tab can add up.) All wait staff are effective and friendly. Have good live music Has a local bar atmosphere.

Wings were great. Service left a lot to be desired. If you're in the area, I'd order to go.

I'm in town on business and my lawyer insisted I come here for the Blackend Grouper Sandwich…read more She was right. Stellar service as soon as I walked in and that continued with Piper, my server. The fries could have been crispier (I asked for them crispy/well done) but the fish sandwich was the star of the show so I didn't mind. I chose the local IPA over the sierra Nevada Hazy and there was no contest - a much better IPA. The Grouper sandwich was MP so I asked, I got severely burned at Legal Seafoods in Boston last year when Mr, Big Shot didn't ask first. Sam's is a wonderful place for all your eating needs.

After all these years living in the Bay Area, somehow I'd never been to Hudson Beach. Well that…read moreended in March of 2026... when I rolled by Sam's and saw one last parking spot. 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!

I'll tell you what's not a win oysters rockefeller, were possibly hot at some point, but left to sit so long they became cold and inedible. Do not have that.

The shows and talent that they get here are absolutely fantastic! And it's only $5 per ticket?!!! I am SERIOUS! When you drive up to the bldg you think you're about to enter some dumpy warehouse and when you step inside you are amazed at the decor. Then you take a trip to the Ladies room and you think you're in some high class night club. They have a nice big dance floor and they always seem to fill it up. They also serve dinner before the show for a fairly reasonable price. The quality of the dinner is just ok really so we sometimes opt to grab something elsewhere. I would recommend the pot roast and shrimp scampi as the best dinner options. You can absolutely NOT beat the top rate entertainment and shows that Colorama presents. Oh and they also have a recording studio so if you're an entertainer and want to cut a recording this is a great place to do it. Check out their website for more details about that. I should also note that it attracts an older crowd. I am no spring chicken myself (57) and am usually on the younger end of the guests.

Down and Dirty: beautiful views, efficient service, decent food and fair pricing…read more I was on vacation with family and friends and was looking for a local spot on the water for dinner and found this place. Making reservations on open table as quick and efficient. When we arrived, our tables put together and ready for us and we were sat immediately. A decent menu with good variety and fair pricing. Everyone seemed to enjoy their food. My husband had the stacked turkey club sandwich and he thought it was delicious. I had the tuna poke nachos and the tuna was very good but the wonton nacho chips were stale tasting. I don't know if they were just left out for too long or if they were over fried, but that would be my only complaint. We chose to dine outside and watch the beautiful sunset with the cool breeze, brushing our faces while we sipped on our cocktails and enjoyed lively discussion. If we were in the area again, I would likely come here at sunset

Honestly, Whiskey Joe's has been disappointing almost every time we've gone. The service is usually…read moreslow, and there always seems to be an issue with the food--whether it's a hair, something coming out cold, or just not tasting great. The only reason we keep giving it another chance is because we have a gift card. That said, this last visit was a little different. My salad was actually awesome--fresh, flavorful, and something I'd definitely order again. The only issue (of course) was that I asked for the dressing on the side and didn't get it... so one thing still had to go wrong. Overall, it's been very hit or miss, but I will say the salad was a standout this time.
