Family friendly on South Beach Marco. Great food and drinks! Comparative pricing with other seafood restaurants, and kiddos get a free meal!

This is a restaurant that has several locations. Was right across the street from the Marriott time share. Had traveled all day, so thought we would give it a try. Was pleased with the choice. Great seafood along with reasonable prices. The best service we have had in many years. Great happy hour specials. read more

We traditionally vacation in Bonita Springs, and always make a point to stop at the Pinchers in Naples. This year, we were vacationing in Marco, so gave the Marco Island location a try. We went on a Wednesday, at 6:30 PM and we were able to walk right in and get a table. They were busy with several large birthday groups, but the staff was very attentive and got to our orders very quickly. We started off with an order of hush puppies, one of our favorite items at Pinchers. They come out burning hot, but are so delicious you can't wait to dig into them. We all got shrimp dinners, and they have about eight different ways you can order your shrimp - grilled, fried, coconut, boom boom, and more. I especially like the fact that you can order a smaller version of the dinner. It still gives you all the options of the larger size dinner, but this way we can enjoy an appetizer and not have to worry about having a lot of leftovers. The platters give you several options as sides, and this evening our favorite option, the applesauce, was out, so that was a disappointment. However, our server, Matt, was super nice, and we really enjoyed getting to know him. As always, we loved our dinner at Pinchers! We will definitely be back! read more

The food and drinks at Pinchers never disappoint. We have a lot of visitors and they all request to go to Pinchers at least one time during their visit. read more

It's still a chain and but it's remained consistent. It's not likely to impress you if you're a foodie but they hit the mark as a safe bet for a good meal at a reasonable price. They have a large menu so everyone is bound to find something to order. It's a fun atmosphere with good drink specials. We stop in at least once every time we vacation on Marco Island read more

I did not take any photos while I was at Pinchers, but the food was alright! Our waiter was super nice and attentive, but I would say this is way more of a casual (seafood) sports bar type vibe. Not anything I would go out of my way to visit again though read more

Had not been here in several years when friend recommended we try it Very pleased with service and the menu. Calamari was excellent and wife's salmon was exactly what she expected. Prices are fair and no one rushed us to fill the table for the next seating even though there was a line waiting for tables. We are locals and I know many restaurants around the hotels cater more to their needs than ours since they spend more freely on vacation. However, they have made it to our list of places to return to on a regular basis read more

2 for 1 on $8 draft beer. Not bad for drinks and apps. Great waiter/ waitress staff. Enjoyed a few really good apps nachos were a pleasant surprise . Three stars for the entries but great service and accommodations. Live music too. read more

Lousy service. Slow service. Seemed very short handed. Food arrived after about 1.5 hours and was warm at best. Would need to improve about 5 notches to be considered mediocre. Also very loud. read more

Good service and great seafood. Conch fitters, fresh Oysters are great, the grouper a el broiled and fried are delicious. 2-for-1 drinks and house wine The kids under 12 eat free for every adult meal over $14.99. Call ahead 30 min to hold a table. It doesn't secure it though. read more

Pinchers had mediocre seafood. The Key Lime pie had no flavor. The server was excellent! We would return with the expectation that the seafood will just be mediocre.... read more

This place got the job done. I came in with some friends. And we sat down. Looking at the menu, I immediately knew what I wanted - shrimp scampi. And when it came, it definitely hit the spot. Was it special, I wouldnt say it was. But if shrimp scampi is what you want, then it's going to be what you'll get. On point and predictable. And tasty. The service was excellent. The waitress was attentive and kind, esp considering my dinner mates really didnt know what they wanted and she kept having to come back to check in with us several times. We came for a weekday lunch which made the place quiet and the service attentive. I believe we were the only table there for a little while. I didnt try anything else so I cant comment on those. But my dinner mates tried the mahi and seemed to enjoy it. All in all, recommend if you are looking for a predictable seafood place. read more

Pinchers was a great surprise to us. Right across from the Marriott we were at it was not one of our restaurants we were tracking to try but glad we did. Our server Tonya was hustling all night! She provided great friendly service, recommendations, and drinks! We had the shrimp scampi and hog snapper special. Both were excellent. We couldn't refuse a massive piece of carrot cake to take home for desert / the next day. Highly recommend a visit here. The decorations and restaurant also have a lot of character and cool signage / pictures / hung water animals. read more

Place is spot on-- Stone Crab season is on. In Marco visiting my folks. We needed to get out and walk to a nice place for lunch. Point 7 miles down the road we hit Pinchers. The establishment has open air cabana over hang bar on the outside, w/ wrap around on the inside with A/C. Candy is the bartender, it's about 1pm. She goes thru the greatest hits on the menu and says it's also Happy Hour 2 for 1. Excellent service! Ambiance is smooth Kenny Chesney and Bob Seger over the speakers. We order margaritas. The stone crabs are the game for today!! Piling through the meal, we order another round of margies. Candy says, "What's the rush?" I said, "Happy Hour, how long is it?" She waives her hand and says with a big smile and lit up eyes, "Happy Hour is from 9:30am til 11pm every day." I laughed, and said, "Ahh Florida, love this Pinchers." Food was delicious. Highly recommend. read more

We arrived for dinner on a Friday night. Pinchers could accommodate our party of seven within 10 minutes of arrival while we admired the very large slices of cake on display. We were informed this was the actual serving size! Service was slow, and it took a while for our food to arrive at the table. The menu is varied, with something for everyone to try. The best part is that substitutions are allowed. I ordered the crab cake meal with two crab cakes. One crab cake is on the menu for those with less than a hungry appetite. My two sides were the rice and green beans. After eating all my food, I ordered the deep-fried key lime pie. This was a fairly new item on the menu and one of the managers convinced me to try it. Although I ate it all (I hadn't had much dessert all week), I wished I had gotten the regular key lime pie. I didn't get a lot of key lime flavor. The flavor was negated in the batter used to deep fry the dessert (3/5). I won't bother to get it again anywhere. read more

The service was very good. The blue crab wasn't good. Very small, even the claws didn't have much in them. Small bowl of coleslaw wasn't worth $5 either. My wife had chicken tacos and she said they were good. Wasn't worth the $86 for both lunches and cocktails, which were weak read more

We really enjoyed the team who works at this location. Super friendly. Great happy hour of you like oysters and wings.

This is a fun place to take your family. It just had a warm and friendly atmosphere. Everything was awesome and prices were very reasonable Our waiter Pat was very knowledgeable about the entire menu. Did an awesome job. read more

They had no host or hostess which would be ok if the other employees stepped up and seated people. My party waited a few minutes patiently. Then I walk over to the bar where the bartender pretended not to see me and hope I would just walk away. I actually walked inside of the bar to get him to come seat us. Once seated it took forever to get drinks and an order. The food was terrible, had no flavor at all read more

I have been chasing "the best cheeseburger" on Marco island for years. Some establishments have closed or changed ownership/recipe thus continuing my search. Honesty the "fast food style and kids eat free" glowing sign is a big turn off for me but I find myself repeatedly returning for what I feel can be the bast burger on Marco Island....nothing fancy, perfectly seasoned cheeseburger (with bacon of course). The bun is unapologetically just a good bun that resembles a hard roll... no fancy brioche or pretzel or whatever everyone else trys to fancy-up the menu. As for the fries.. they are perfect - and the actually taste like potatoes! No cornstarch dusting to fake crispiness or over seasoning needed like most other establishments. These fries look and taste like fresh cut fries. Since I have only eaten the burgers here (with the exception of a not so good crab cheese dip that was "off") I feel i can't give it 5 stars but the burger sure deserves them! read more

The place to go for snow crab legs! A great portion for a great price. A pleasant surprise. We are not tourists, we love the selection and local fish offerings. Jonathan our server was pleasant, prompt, and offered excellent recommendations. The food arrived not long after ordering. And it was busy. The management, Joey, was on top of it. Checking with guest on their food and experience. They even had a lovey lady singing who played great tunes. We will return. Great time. Great fun. Easy for families. thank you for great experience. read more

2-for-1 Drink Specials - Check Great Key Lime Pie - Check Happy Hour - Check Kids Eat Free - Check I love Pinchers! The service is so friendly and helpful at the Marco Island location. I prefer going for lunch when it's quieter...it can get bonkers at night, especially with large groups and big families. But at least once a week I need a Pinchers fix of their Cheesy Crab Dip, Fried Shrimp with Rice and Garlic Bread, and a piece of Key Lime Pie. The only thing that would make this restaurant better was if it was right on the water. read more

This is busy Florida. Everything was great at Pinchers, except the staff were laxed about wearing masks. The nose wasn't covered, or it was hanging down from one ear. Most patrons did not enter wearing masks. We arrived 7:15 on a Sunday evening. The wait was long, so we asked to sit and eat at the bar. Best choice! The waiters there were friendly. They explained the menu specials, 1/2 price drinks, cleaned the area. Boy, they were busy. The wait for the food wasn't long. We started with a Blue Moon and the best fruity sangria, which was Cav based. Our meals, red snapper and a soft crab sandwich, came with two sides. We chose the baked beans, applesauce and coleslaw. Delicious. The soft crab was small on the bun, but it was locally caught and $18. I liked it. We shared a signature Key Lime pie slice. It was nicely tart. Our waitress, Tanya, continued to be pleasant as the bar was beginning to empty out. We really liked the eclectic crab themed restaurant. We'd go back. This was walking distance from our hotel. I suggest walking to here, as it's a busy place. Handicapped accessible. read more
