    A forgettable experience and ok food. Finally gave it a visit at the spear of the moment. The long drive is a bumpy as the uneven food experience. Got the cod dinner with sides. The fish was large and flakey but lacking in flavor. The worst coleslaw I had ever tasted. At least the chips were fresh. It a dive bar with dollar bills attached on the walls. Dark large place with large tables to host large gatherings easily. This will be my only visits. Watch out for the several potholes along your drive to it.

    First time at this place. As others have said, INVEST in fixing all the potholes! Actually invest in your business period. It's ran down and filthy ! I would start with a good cleaning. Just dirty and gross! BUT they were busy. Mostly a "guy" crowd. So they're bringing in the business, to be able to upgrade. I ordered the "Bean Soup" because to be honest, after seeing the dirty environment I didn't want much from this place. I was with a friend and they wanted to eat here. And how bad can you mess up soup? It's boiling so hopefully any bacteria will be killed. This was ABSOLUTELY the most Disgusting soup I have EVER had. (Which was only a few bites) basically this was bagged beans (still firm) in water. With a very small amount of celery and onion. NO flavor AT ALL! Like NONE! A three year old could make a more flavorful soup. With some thickness I'm sure. They should be ashamed to have this on the menu and to be charging $6 for it! YUCK! I wish I didn't even have to give 1 star. Never plan on returning!

    Today we decided to meet some friends and get some fish at Pass Time. We've eaten here before and the fish was always good. This is a seat yourself, offer at the bar and strictly cash. My wife ordered the Cod Fish sandwich. It was a huge piece of fish served on a slice of bread and chips. I got the Fish Platter, a huge piece of fish, lightly breaded Oysters and Shrimp with Coleslaw and Fries . Everything was served hot, fresh and delicious. The servings are large so you get plenty to eat.

    What can I say if you want some of the best seafood and aren't put off by a hole in the wall atmosphere this is your place. Fresh seafood from cod to frog legs at a price that makes your wallet happy. It's hard to not do the seafood platter which includes a huge filet of fish, large oysters, nice size shrimp with fries and slaw for under 28 dollars it's enough for two. You would pay a extra 20 at Red lobster for less quality. I'll be back again soon.

    When I walked into PassTime Fish House my first thought was "I wish I had a flashlight". It took a while for my eyes to adjust to the rather dark interior lit by beer neon signs. But I had no trouble focusing on the menu once I acclimated to the rustic decor. There's a significant beer on tap menu. And for a business with "Fish" in its name, there's plenty of options for landlubbers, including BLT, Grilled Cheese, burgers and the J-Town Ribeye, also known as fried bologna. My entire group went with the fish platter. Fried fish, fries & slaw with your choice of bread in case you want to make a sandwich. I'm talking about a huge slab of fried cod. It literally hung over the plate. The fish was perfect. Moist, flaky, with a crisp coating that wasn't greasy or too heavy. Delicious. And served piping hot. Even the fries were hot and crisp. If you're looking for gourmet-this isn't your spot. But for great fried fish you'd have a tough time finding somewhere better. My only "ding" is one poor server covered the entire dining area. She busted her butt, still, she couldn't be everywhere at the same time. So, getting a tea refill was a bit of a challenge. On the other hand, she was happy to bring additional beers to the table on a timely basis. A minor complaint. My biggest challenge was waddling out after a huge lunch.

All in all, highly recommend if you're looking for quality food, get right drinks, and amazingly great service!

Rich, flavorful, and completely addictive, it disappeared fast. The warm butter rolls arrived alongside pesto butter, but I stayed loyal to regular butter. No regrets. A quick shoutout to our server, Devante. He was new, but you'd never know it. Friendly, attentive, and impressively knowledgeable about the menu, he handled everything like a seasoned pro and made the experience even better. For dinner, I ordered the chicken piccata with mashed potatoes and Brussels sprouts. While the chicken was excellent, the Brussels sprouts stole the show--perfectly cooked, packed with flavor, and easily the standout item on my plate. Dad went with the Mediterranean chicken, mashed potatoes, and broccoli. The chicken was a winner, though the broccoli was a bit tougher than expected. Mom chose the voodoo shrimp and fries, but honestly, her true love affair of the evening was with the lobster dip. I'm fairly certain she consumed enough of it for the entire table. By this point, we were all happily full. But there was still one reason to save room. The strawberry shortcake. Light, sweet, and absolutely unforgettable, it was the highlight of the entire meal. The kind of dessert that quiets the table and leaves everyone smiling after the last bite. That alone is reason enough to come back.

No wait and we were seated immediately in a booth. Service was great the entire visit. Our server Renne was knowledgeable, efficient, and kept things moving. Unfortunelky when we sat, our server let us know they were out of calamari, which was a letdown since it is one of their #1 appetizers. Here's the breakdown: Prickly Pear Margarita $15 This was sweet and smooth without being overly strong. The flavor leaned slightly toward raspberry. Easy to drink and well balanced. I liked it Complimentary bread We were served two warm rolls with a herb style pesto butter. The bread was fresh and soft inside with a light crust. Simple but very good, especially for something complimentary and unlimited. Fried mushrooms $13 Good portion size. The breading was light and crisp but not heavy, so you still got the mushroom flavor through it. The texture was tender, almost soft like cauliflower when cooked right. What really made this dish was the sauce, a spicy chipotle style aioli with a creamy base. That sauce was honestly better than the mushrooms themselves. Lobster bisque Included with the entree. Very creamy, smooth texture, rich color. The flavor was solid but slightly muted. There were very few visible lobster chunks, which was the main downside. It tasted more like a creamy seafood soup than something loaded with lobster. Still, as a free included side it was fine. A bit more salt and actual lobster pieces would improve it a lot. 14 oz Ribeye $43 This was the main event and it was great. Ordered medium rare and it came out exactly medium rare. The steak had a solid charcoal grilled crust on the outside without being overly burnt or bitter.Added some really great flavor. Some places overdo the char and it takes over the meat. Inside was juicy, tender, and a perfect mix of fat and meat. Really solid overall. They also split the steak and plated it for two without charging extra, which included dividing the sides as well. I also like how there was a small portion of chive butter included on the plate. It was simple but added a nice touch to the the steak. Most other toppings or flavored butters were $4 extra so it was nice nice to try one for free. Loaded baked potato side Large size and fully loaded with cheese, bacon, sour cream, and butter. It was soft inside with a proper fluffy texture, not dry or undercooked. Pretty standard steakhouse loaded potato. Strawberry shortcake Complimentary dessert with a candle for the special occasion, which was a nice touch. This was easily the highlight of the entire meal. Perfect balance between cake and strawberry filling. The strawberries tasted fresh and had real sweetness rather than being overly syrupy. Honestly one of the best strawberry shortcakes I've ever had and I grew up eating the ice cream pops. Highly recommended. Overall: Service was great, solid food, fair prices, and the dessert was excellent. The biggest downside was the calamari being unavailable, especially since it is their #1 app. I'll be back to actually try the calamari next time.

Not sure if she was working in kitchen or bar but never in sight. What a shame!! Soooo disappointed. For us, staff excellence makes up a huge portion of enjoying the outing. Food may be wonderful but such a rough start really takes away from our special occasion. Must mention, The guy that BROUGHT our drinks and food was EXCELLENT!!!! Personality plus. No more Bonefish gift cards for us.
