Stopped in while on vacation and unfortunately it was just okay overall. I ordered the crab legs with broccoli and mashed potatoes. The crab legs were pretty dry, and some of the gills were still attached, which was honestly a little unappetizing. The broccoli tasted like it came straight from a frozen bag and wasn't really seasoned. The mashed potatoes were decent but nothing special. Honestly, I've had better crab legs at restaurants back home in Michigan, which was a little disappointing considering we're visiting a coastal area. The drinks were okay but a bit on the weak side. Service was slow, but I do want to give some grace there -- our waiter was also the bartender and seemed to be handling all the tables near the bar by himself. He was very friendly and clearly working hard, just probably stretched way too thin. Overall it wasn't a terrible experience, but the food didn't really live up to what we were hoping for while on vacation. read more

We have been to Pinchers, many times, and always love their hot crab dip. Today we ordered and picked up 3 orders of their crab dip. $45.00...Each container was just short of 1 cup. We also did get tortilla chips with each order. Absolutely shocked, and disappointed with the amount...Never again! read more

Stopped in for the 2 for 1 drinks and came back for the coconut shrimp. The best coconut shrimp I've ever had.

Went there on Father's Day had 4 generations at one time ,Had to wait little bit for a table but the service was fantastic. The food was freaking great and I'm pretty picky. When it comes to seafood, the desserts were amazing as were the drinks ,the restaurant is decorated amazingly !!We had 10 people in my party we were there three hours and nobody rushed us out.! read more

We visited here on vacation and I ordered the stuffed blackened grouper No seasoning at all definitely wasnt blackened Offered a dessert to make it right. A $6 dessert doesn't make up for a $33 meal. Actually charged us for desert then had to refund us Can confidently say we will not be going back here read more

I had the blackened grouper tacos at Pinchers, and I'm still thinking about them days later. I ordered the two-taco plate with fries and coleslaw on the side, and every bite was a win. The tacos? Absolutely incredible -- hands down the best I've ever had. The grouper was perfectly blackened, packed with flavor, and cooked just right. The toppings added just the right balance without overpowering the star of the dish. The home-cut fries were a standout on their own -- golden, crispy, and full of that homemade taste you just can't fake. And the coleslaw? Creamy, fresh, and absolutely a 10/10. The restaurant was very clean and nice, loved looking at the boats outside. Service was spectacular. read more

Pinchers - Blackened Grouper tacos - Seafood Near Me - Cape Coral, Florida

Food 4.5/5 Service 5/5 Ambiance 4/5 The food was so good, we scarfed down so fast I neglected to take a photo ( unusual for me). Nicole our server was fantastic. Helpful, quick, friendly and not intrusive. We ordered a Pina colada and a Bloody Mary. 1lb warm of peel and eat shrimp (secret is to request garlic butter used in the crab claws). To dip we ordered garlic bread and fresh cut fries. Everything was perfect from the Pina colada's with dried coconut on the rim. I peeled all of the shrimp and dunked them in the garlic sauce. So good. The ambiance is nice mellow music played low to hear. It is without reservation that I recommend this spot. Don't pass go and go. Ask for Nicole at the bar and you'll have a fantastic experience. read more

We went to pinchers in Cape Coral with a large group of family and friends. I have never been here before so it was my first dining experience. I am not a huge seafood fan, but I do love grouper that is my go to dinner. We were given a menu of dinner specials which included black grouper and on the regular dinner menu was gulf grouper. There was a significant cost increase for the black grouper. I wasn't really sure of the difference as I always just order grouper when we are out for dinner so I did ask our waitress what the difference was. She told me the black grouper eats organic and does not have a fishy taste while the gulf grouper on their regular menu may have a fishy taste. Hmmmm....With that being said, I just had a bad feeling about the entire place. I ordered the gulf grouper. I put the smallest piece on my fork and tasted it. It was awful. Extremely nasty fishy taste...It was so fishy. It was disgusting. It did not even look like grouper. I'm not really sure what it was. I did ask some friends who tend to eat seafood a lot and I was told the organic eating was BS and it was just bad fish being served as the gulf grouper. Like I said, I eat grouper all of the time and I have never had a nasty disgusting grouper as I did at this Pinchers. I personally will never return. First of all I was lied to and second they obviously are not serving fresh fish. I should have sent it back but due to the wait we endured and the large group we had, I simply ate the green beans and the french fries and left the entire piece of horrible grouper. Other people in my party tasted it as well and said it was gross. read more

My family and I stopped here on our vacation in Cape Coral fl our waitress Dawn was amazing some of the best service I've had in a long time. She was friendly, good with the kids and checked on us every round threw her tables we didn't go a minute without drinks. She got us everything we needed fast and correct. The atmosphere was family friendly and not extremely loud. My husband and I got the tuna it was amazing there green beans I ordered was amazing. The kids had chicken tenders, crab cake sandwich and fish and chips they loved it and ate all of it. My youngest got the snow crab also and loved it and loved the tools and bucket that came with it I recommend this restaurant if you are craving seafood and a good dinner read more

The server, Lucy?, was very attentive but the food was awful. I love fried shrimp so ordered it with fries and cole slaw. The cole slaw was the best part of the meal and it was mediocre. Both the shrimp and fries were limp, not crispy or brown. Nope! Never again. read more

You want an enjoyable evening, my husband is a veteran and we went there and they comped his dinner for his service in the army. Everything was to perfection our waitress it was Carla and she was just wonderful I have a seafood allergy and she made sure that my steak was not cooked hear anything Seafood it was wonderful I can't say enough about the wait staff everyone was just friendly and very helpful. Connor also is very helpful with all his information and about the properties that they own. Can't wait to go back again. read more

It was getting late and we wanted to eat close to our hotel. I went with my parents on a late Monday night. We arrived at 8:30pm, and was sent to the other side to check in. We were given a 5 minute wait, not because it was crowded, but because they were only two servers working at the moment. We were seated after 5 minutes to a small booth in the back. I ordered the small mahi mahi with coleslaw and mashed potatoes for 17 dollars. The fish could have been more fresh and moist, but it was still decently grilled and just enough to satisfy. The coleslaw was better, as the cabbages and carrots were fresh and flavorful with the right amount of seasonings. I also enjoyed the mashed potatoes that had the garlic flavor. I also tried my mom's pasta, which was cooked al dente and enjoyable with the Alfredo sauce. I tasted my dad's french fries, and greens beans, which both were tasty too. Thus, it looked like I enjoyed the sides more than the fish. Our server, Veronica, provided quick and great service throughout, and Erin managed her well. The theming seems to be nautical, with fish and boat decorations. It was very casual, so you can dress in a t shirt without any problems. Pinchers is located in Tarpon Point in the village area, which is very close to the Westin hotel. Even though the community is gated, the gate is normally open. Although my mahi could have been fresher, I still liked it. I also really enjoyed the sides. For being walking distance from the Westin, this is a good option for casual seafood near the resort. read more

Pinchers - Small size mahi mahi with coleslaw on the side. I also had mashed potatoes as a side too, but it was not pictured. 17 dollars - Seafood Near Me - Cape Coral, Florida

If you are in the area, this is a must place. If you can make it during happy hour (3-6pm) even better because you get extra drinks. Everything here is fresh. The place is truly divey, relaxed atmosphere, leave you worries out kind of joint. Fish and chips are great, conch fritters and crab cakes are very good. The crab and corn chowder was also amazing. Service was good, friendly and fast. read more

The food is not worth the buck! Subpar for the price. Go to Marker 92 and get a way better meal for same price or less

The service was unreal. We had a wonderful experience with the food and overall time there.

It was very great time. Everybody was professional. The waitress was very nice and helpful.

It's a 10/10! So impressed by Amanda when she greeted me at the bar. The feel of the place is smooth and easy. Relaxed and yet spunky at the same time. Crab chowder is by far the best I've had in a long time! It's a true hidden gem here :) read more

Excellent atmosphere, beautiful sunset and delicious food. Was an excellent choice for a fun evening

Always great food and service. Beautiful location for dining waterside. One of my favorite places to visit in Cape Coral.

Poor service. Ordered fish that was very overcooked and served 15 mins late. Worst was the attendees were restaurant owners. The manager said he'd let the chef know. Did not even offer any compensation. read more

Yes, we were there. Good food snd service. It's really cute too! Grouper was really good! Busy place.

Pinchers Cape Coral is located in a fancy gated area. I really like that they have the brown paper table covers that allows the kids to draw on as well as having the kids eat free deal. The food was super fresh and delicious. We ordered the crab dip appetizer that came with super hot fresh made chips, and as picky as my kids are they ate the whole thing. The patio was closed for cleaning but we got there right when they opened. The service was great and I would definitely recommend pinchers when in the mood for fresh seafood. read more

We are on vacation and this place is one of my son's favorite. We got the crab and cheese appetizer that was very good and had a bit of spice to it - which I like. The waitress Sam was amazing. She kept an eye on our waters and brought refills immediately when we needed them. I ordered the smaller portion of Grouper and you get to pick 2 sides. I ordered coleslaw (no big deal) and locally grown green beans that were delicious. I ordered the grouper grilled and it was really greasy and not very good. My daughter in law ordered the shrimp tacos and for her 2 sides she was able to substitute a cup of corn and crab chowder that she said was all delicious. My son ordered shrimp scampi pasta that he said was delicious. With a Premium Margarita for $11 and an Orange Mojito for $10, our total bill was $105. I personally would not come here again because there are so many great seafood places in Florida and I would not consider this one of them. read more

Beware of the 2 for one drinks they offer. My friend and I each ordered a vodka and water. Apparently we were served deep Eddy vodka with water. When we got our bill we were charged $15 each. I talked to a manager and I also called the next day. I was told that that is what they charge because it's two for one. So they're not giving you two for one drinks they're doubling the price and saying they're only charging you for one. I asked the manager how much they charge for Gray goose vodka and water and was told that it is $14. If you're not aware Gray goose is a top shelf liquor and is about $40 in a store. Deep Eddy's vodka is about $26 in a store. If you look at Pinchers menu most of their specialty drinks are about 12 to $15. So I guess I'm saying don't order their two for one because you're not getting two for one you're paying the highest price for it. read more

always good food, casual atmosphere, nice service... "folks like it." we recently stopped by with family guests, if i have a gripe... it's the price. seems like a lot. $200 for 4 people including 2 teenagers. I know you get what you pay for, but I had a lil sticker shock. just be advised! read more

Saturday brunch- yes! Eggs benny- built as a tower. 2 english muffins toasted and buttery. Arugula, Canadian bacon, and a lemony Hollandaise sauce over a well poached runny yolk egg. Complimented with a refreshing and spicy bloody Mary. The view is a waterfront marina. The service is attentive and friendly. Great fresh seafood available to take home retail. Overall, a must try. read more

The food was delicious and the portions great. I had the Alaskan crab with an enormous side of fries. Service was very good. My wife said her fish fingers were very good. My brother in law had fish sandwich which looked good. We all loved the crab dip appetizer. I was surprised by the large number of preschoolers and the noise they bring. It made it very difficult to have a conversation. It's still a pleasant experience. . read more

Good food. Crab dip is amazing. Friendly and accurate service. Fun ambiance. Lovely view of the marina.

Frequent attendance yearly for almost 10 years! Easy, affordable, quick and attentive service. Awesome happy hour! Views are great on the water and great sunsets! Love the easy location and walking the shops after. We've only ever had 1 bad experience with food in all the years. read more

Fun marina located restaurant. Very good selection of seafood and food for land lubbers too. They do have a happy hour special as a 2 for one on several drinks all the time. Peel and eat shrimp was very meaty and easy to peel. Heck, grab a beer and some shrimp and enjoy. read more
