My friend insisted that I try the lobster roll at Lobster Pound Seafood Market, so of course we had…read moreto go! I ordered mine Connecticut-style, and I have to say... it was DELICIOUS. I'm normally not the biggest lobster fan because sometimes it can be a little chewy or just feel like way too much meat, but this one was different. The lobster was so tender and practically melt-in-your-mouth, and the bread was just as good. Everything came together perfectly! It's a little pricey, but I will say it's pretty filling. They also have a nice variety on the menu, so there's something for everyone, especially if you're a seafood enthusiast. 10 out of 10 would recommend! But don't just take my word for it... go try it out for yourself! You

The trick with Owen's, as if you didn't already know this, is to get there when they first open. I…read morelove their other location, so I was excited to try this larger one. We arrived early upon opening and were seated right away. Parking is a dream compared to the downtown location. Our waitress was super sweet and accommodating. Another benefit to getting there early is the discounted apps. We enjoyed an order of deviled eggs and some seasoned buttery rolls. My advice is not to order the rolls; they're tasty, but honestly, it's just bread, and if you only want to opt for one or two apps, it just seems like a bit of a waste, but that's just me. I don't eat seafood; my family loves it, so I ordered the veggie risotto. Dannnnng, it was so good, and it was extremely filling and enough to feed like five people. I took most of it home and got like two meals out of it. We were too full to really enjoy the dessert, but we split a cobbler three ways, and that one bite was sinfully good.

There's a ton of seating, so even though it's a popular place, it doesn't feel cramped. The live music added to the atmosphere, and our service was excellent from start to finish. As for the food, it was just okay. Nothing was bad, but it didn't quite live up to how much we loved the ambiance. That said, the overall experience was still enjoyable thanks to the fun atmosphere, great service, and live music. I'd definitely come back to relax, grab a drink, and soak in the vibe.

Once again I struck gold at Walt's Fish Market/Restaurant. A day trip to Sarasota with the g/f and…read morea quick check of Yelp was all it took. The exterior very Tiki looking. The interior, a mixture of fish shack and fish market. Brittany, was our server. Very good at her job. Fast and decisive. When the girlfriend's fries were cold, we told Brittany. No defensiveness, just a quick fix and a smile. The difference between a good experience and an awkward one. First time I've had fish dip. It came complimentary as an appetizer. Very good. I'd have that anytime. I'm a convert. I had a shrimp Po' Boy and my girlfriend, the grouper Reuben sandwich. I could wholeheartedly recommend either. It was a very tasty visit. I commend Walt's and will be back.

My parents raved about Walt's and how wonderfully fresh it is, and we were excited to try. We were brought some smoked white fish spread to start out. I am not huge on smoked fish spreads but I did really enjoy it. We got the ceviche and hush puppies to start. I wouldn't get the ceviche again (shrimp and some white fish I don't remember), but the hush puppies were very interesting and we did enjoy them. For my entree I got the snow crab legs with the recommended seasoning. This was a great move. I loved the crab and with the seasoning it came with I didn't feel like I needed to use a ton of butter. My husband got the triple tail, being one of the day's featured fish. We weren't in love with it, but it was our first time trying triple tail so maybe we could've gotten something else. The atmosphere is great, with the fish market right there in the restaurant. There's a nice waiting area with bar access where you can even get some appetizers. The staff was cool and attentive. Would definitely come back to dine or shop!

This place came up on my FB feed while scrolling. Ad caught my attention with the weekend specials…read more We drove over tonight to give it a try. We ordered the shot honey grouper sandwich, bang bang shrimp fries, fried shrimp and grouper bites. Three were weekend specials for $9.99. That price and quality cannot be beat! The hot honey grouper was awesome. Very nice filet of grouper with hot honey on it. Sweet, spicy and freshly cooked. 10/10. Fries were freshly fried and had a nice seasoning. Great meal. My son had the grilled grouper bites. They were cooked perfectly and he devoured them. 2 thumbs up! Other son had the shrimp basket. Fried shrimp were juicy and crispy. Not over battered. Great taste and another 2 thumbs up. Bang bang shrimp fries were really good. Not hot but had great flavor. Fries had a ton of bacon and that yummy sauce drizzled over them. Would get again. 9/10. Easy to find, plenty of parking. Nice outdoor area with about 6 tables. Service was friendly and quick. Price was great for fresh seafood. We drove about 30 minutes and it was worth the drive!

My wife & I wanted seafood, mainly fish and this business is now open on Tuesdays which is great. Most of the seafood places in the area only open Thursdays through Saturday. So my wife wanted grilled grouper, and she said it was prepared perfectly. She said that it wasn't overly seasoned and that it tasted fresh. She liked the red potatoes and said that next time she'd do a double order of them. We also go a pound of bay scallops which were delicious. Not overly seasoned and cooked perfectly. I had the fish & chips and I received two nice size pieces of cod, it wasn't overly battered or seasoned and it was very fresh. I also got red potatoes and fries but I'd also double up on the potatoes or get a side of corn. The scallops were abundant and a half order would been sufficient. If they had hush puppies it would be perfect. The customer service "Dustin" was amazing. He was friendly, knowledgeable and very helpful with my order today. The prices are fair and the food was very hot. I live 20 minutes away and when I got home it was still scorching hot. I strongly recommend this business and I'll return here again real soon.

We had about a 30 minute wait for first available table. We sat at the bar & each had a drink. The drinks were good, but nothing special. We were seated outside in a screened in porch. It wasn't bad at first as they had fans on, but then the air outside settled & it became hot. Next time we'll know to eat inside or wait for a cooler night. DH ordered the Blackened Scamp with Smashed Parsley Potatoes and Black Eyed Peas. He was extremely happy with his meal. He said the Scamp was cooked to perfection and seasoning was a compliment to the flavor of the fish. The mashed and peas were delicious too. His plate was clean when he was done. For me, I was happy with my selection of seared Tile fish. I had never heard of Tile fish so I didn't know what to expect. It was wonderful. Flaky and seasoned just right. My sides were the Smashed Parsley Potatoes and Garlicky Green Beans. Both we delicious. We were both happy with everything and we're looking forward to coming back to try other menu items.

I enjoy the outdoor seating the best when the weather is not too hot. Now that we have a baby the stroller fits better at the outdoor table. We come here every time we are in town and will always return.
