Fun place, good food and fast service. While there only a few places in Mexico Beach, this is a classic beach seafood restaurant and bar, well worth the trip. Our second visit over the years, we'll always return. read more

We genuinely enjoyed our dinner at Shipwreck Raw Bar. One bonus is that they're open on Sundays, which isn't always easy to find in the area. We started with the Bee Sting Shrimp and a basket of hush puppies, then all ordered the gumbo for our main course. Everything was fresh and flavorful. The Rum Runners and piña coladas were outstanding and some of our favorite drinks of the trip. The service was good--friendly and attentive--but didn't particularly stand out. The atmosphere is casual, laid-back, and family-friendly. We noticed several families dining with children, making it a comfortable spot for groups of all ages. They also have a few larger tables, so if you're looking for a restaurant in Mexico Beach or Port St. Joe that can accommodate a bigger group, this is a great option. Overall, we had a very enjoyable meal and would happily return on a future visit. read more

Would give this place 5 stars for the incredible food, but unfortunately, because of the service my boyfriend and I received tonight, I can't. We waited around 20 minutes for a table, grabbed two beers from the bar, and sat outside while we waited. Once seated, we were "greeted" by our server, and that interaction set the tone for the rest of the evening. She was rude, short, and overall unpleasant. She never checked in after any course, seemed uninterested in our experience, and at times even slammed food onto the table. Every interaction felt rushed, and as soon as she came by, she was quick to disappear. It felt like she had no concern for our satisfaction throughout the meal. We had planned on staying for dessert and another round of drinks, but honestly felt uncomfortable doing so. When we asked for a box, she already had the check in hand. While I understand wanting to be efficient and prepared, given her attitude throughout the night it came across more like she was trying to rush us out than provide good service. The food truly was excellent, which makes the experience even more disappointing. Unfortunately, we did not get her name, but she was blonde and wearing a pink shirt. I get being busy but this was simply not the case. read more

Eat there for breakfast several days per week they have Great food service and prices. dinner is next on the agenda

Wonderful place. The shrimp and grouper dishes were just terrific. Very flavorful, fresh, hand dipped shrimp... grilled grouper was also super flavorful and the chef's special grouper was so good. We would definitely eat there again! Matter of fact we're going back tonight!! Going for the shrimp tonight! read more

Shipwreck is my favorite restaurant in port st Joe. I planned an entire trip down just to revisit. They have the best oysters. In off season it's pretty quiet and easy to get a table, but go early or prepare to wait in the summer months. I like that you can get a variety of local beers, as well! read more

Party of 10 on a Friday night. Many other large parties weren't there when called and we were seated much sooner than our quoted time. We brought in our own catch and they did it up three ways for us. The charge for your own catch was $14.99 and they did a wonderful job. The restaurant is super loud and they speed you in and out. I read how people felt rushed, but that was ok with us. I would rate the food and service as 5 stars. The noise and rushed nature are a three. Probably a lot more chill at times other than 7:30 on a Friday in June. Will be back next time we are here! read more

Shipwreck Raw Bar - Our own catch - Triple Tail blackened, grilled and fried - Southern Near Me - Port St Joe, Florida

Been coming to here for ages this was a must stop every time we are in town. The oyster sampler was a standout from the very first bite--each shell offered a refreshing taste of the sea, perfectly chilled and briny without being overpoweringly salty. The variety kept each oyster intriguing, and the natural texture was just right--plump and satisfying. We had the port st joe beach, four cheese and the cajun. Hush puppies was fried to a golden crisp, boasted a beautifully crunchy exterior encasing a tender, flavorful center. They struck a flawless balance--not overly greasy, but rich and comforting--pairing wonderfully with seafood. It was savory and heavy on the onions. The oysters shine for their freshness and thoughtful curation, while the hushpuppies deliver on classic Southern charm with expert frying technique. The gumbo was not my favorite tased a lot of msg and it wasn't warm or hot when I got it. Also the texture was way off it was like okra texture every bite. My friends enjoyed the crab dip and shrimp they said it tasted good and not rubbery. I do wish they bring back their smoked mahi-mahi dip. Service was A+++ great experience and London the waitress was amazing attentive and at the same time gives you time to enjoy your meal. The place can get loud specially if they are packed. There are outdoor seating but at times it's close if they don't have enough server. read more

We were recommended this establishment at another restaurant. We arrived at the parking lot was full, a great sign. We sat at the bar due to a wait of 45 minutes for a table. I had the Pina Colada to drink. It was pretty good. My wife had the shrimp & Grits for her entree and I had the blackened grouper with the crab cake on top with hushpuppies for a side. Both the entrees were a 9-9.5 out of ten. We shared a piece of Key Lime Pie for dessert, one of the best I've ever eaten. Our waitress Nicole was very arrive to our needs. The shipwrecks ambiance is right in line with being on the beach. The waitresses had on the bars tshirts with quirky saying on the back. The food was so good we are going back tonight to try some other entrees and another piece of Key Lime Pie!!! read more

Food was great, hostess has a stick up her butt! Gumbo was great, crab cakes were great and mostly crab, burgers were good, kids ate it up, po boy blackened grouper was good as well. Could have some more condiment options for the po boy or put some coleslaw on it, fish was cooked perfectly. Drinks were great and our waitress was awesome. Will be back read more

We arrived at 4:15pm because we've heard how crazy the waits can be and honestly would not recommend. We felt so rushed being one of the first to be seated and get ordered and back out the door- I do not feel it was worth that much prep- I would go later in the evening or hit up their breakfast lunch time slot if you're looking to try it out- read more

Great atmosphere. Service is great. Wait time for food varies. Really good raw oysters. Food is okay, depending on who's cooking that day. read more

If I could give ZERO STARS I would. Wait was 1.5hr. OK... It's busy, I'm fine with the wait. So, I sit at the bar for drinks while I wait. Nope... I was told that I can't wait at the bar & I have to sit outside. WTF, I'm a paying customer?!?! So, I wait outside. Then they finally get us seated. We waited over 15min & our server never checked on us. No water... No hello. I will NEVER eat here. I will tell everyone to NEVER eat here. I have never experienced such terrible customer service. read more

The piña colada was great! The breaded shrimp was good but the mandarin oranges were just from a packaged cup. The server was very nice. Very cool and unique decorations. read more

The food is so good that we ate four meals there over Labor Day weekend. The fried grouper and the fried shrimp are the best! Crab cakes were not the best (too much breading). And I wasn't happy with the crab bisque (thin, milky, too much nutmeg and not enough crab meat). BUT if you like your seafood fried, this is the place. Service was fantastic every day! Still not happy about the lady in the kitchen yelling everytime an order came up, it seems like technology could fix that. read more

We stayed in the area 4 nights and ate here 3 times, twice for dinner/happy hour and once for lunch. Incredible Apalachicola wild (HUGE) AND farmed (saltier and smaller) oysters with some of the best shuckers you'll find. We had great service sitting at the bar. Bee sting shrimp were delish, as was the bay scallop appetizer special. One night we splurged for dessert and the warm brownie with ice cream was to die for. 7-layer chocolate cake also great. They serve breakfast too, which we didn't try but I'm sure it's awesome. Kinda the only game in town but they're crushing it. Yum!! Don't miss the sunset across the street. read more

Very busy on a Sunday after church but we still received excellent service! Best bisque we've had in the area! Go early for dinner during high season, it's a popular spot and the waits can be long(long enough that they might have to turn you away). read more

The food was delicious. One had a breakfast meal others had fried oysters, raw oysters and gumbo. The only complaint we had was our server. She was rude and short to us immediately. Did not know what flavors of seltzer were available and was not going to look. Asked for lemons for the oyster. She snarkilly said yea ok but never brought them. We had to ask another server. We are super friendly people, have been in the business for many years and are more lenient than others who have never been in the business. We were excited to go there and the food did not disappoint. However, we will make sure we do not get the same server. I hope someone in Management reads this. read more

Visited twice! Breakfast was PHENOMENAL. Had the Wewa Eggs Benedict and cheese grits. DELICIOUS. My waiter/bartender was Noah and he was very kind and made me feel right at home. It was my birthday and he went above and beyond with service. Stated he was new to the establishment and I never would have guessed it! The entire staff team worked together well and it was an atmosphere! Highly recommend if you're looking for a great breakfast spot with home cooked food! Once for dinner and Joey was the bartender/waiter for my meal. Incredible food (Crab cakes)! Joey was attentive and personable! read more

Shipwreck Raw Bar - Bowl of gumbo & Bee Sting Shrimp. - Southern Near Me - Port St Joe, Florida

The name says it all! Our waitress was sweet, but that was where the good ended. Firstly, the prices were $10.00 more than the review menus, which were several. Ordered the grilled mahi. It was a decently large piece of fish, but it was overcooked. As only a fork is supplied, I requested a knife. She kindly brought me a steak knife. Now, I have eaten mahi a lot, but never needed a knife to cut fish. The steak knife barely cut it. 2 of the sides were stone cold as well. For the price, they should have done better. Not going back there again. read more

Came here for breakfast/brunch. The service was good and staff was friendly. It was a very welcoming atmosphere. We ordered the Spicy Sailor Omelet & Strawberry Waffle. Overall the food was okay and the portions were good, but wished there were more options that stood out. Would come back again to try their dinner options. read more

We ate dinner there and loved it. We stayed near by at a local hotel, so we went back for breakfast. That was amazing too.

Went here 2x during our stay. Both times it was busy, but our party of 6 was sat promptly. The environment is very noisy. The customers, music and open Kitchen all contributed to this. The servers were efficient but sometimes misheard a request or missed it completely. However, they recovered quickly and were attentive to make things right. It was very busy, so patience helps! The food was fresh and delicious. My husband and I shared the Chef's Special and each got a side salad. Plenty of food for the both of us and it was Delicious! read more

Amazing restaurant even whenever you're eating, you can go to the bar and order a drink whenever you sit down the waitress comes so fast and attends to every need. The oysters were a 10 out of 10 I would 100% come back to Mexico beach just for this restaurant. read more

A wonderful option in PSJ! We were seated immediately and the hostess was the best and went above and beyond. The food was also great. Good quality seafood. read more

I'm so mad I didn't make it back to Shipwreck for another meal. My daughter and I grabbed a bite at the bar to avoid the wait time. We got Cajun shrimp and crab legs. Ended up ordering more shrimp to take home and even my wife said it was the best shrimp she's had in a long time. Just simple, fresh and well seasoned. I wish I got the bartender's name because she was so friendly and helpful with my daughter's questions (she was set on trying something new just to get crab legs again ). The place itself is a lively raw bar. They do a good job with the table layout but they get busy. When they have a wait, they do not take carry out orders. There's a good chance you'll see a line formed before they open for dinner. If the wait is less than an hour and you want good seafood, just be patient! read more

We are here on a Monday night and while the service was excellent the food was just average. The Caesar salad was pretty terrible. The dressing was tasty but the lettuce was Way over dressed and there was about 1/8 a 1/4 # of Parmesan shavings in it, there was almost more cheese than lettuce - way too much. The blackened shrimp were very good and the baked potato was decent. My wife had a blackened poor boy. The bread was very dry and not a lot of flavor on the chicken. Overall it was a pretty ordinary experience but we will try again next time we're in town and on a busier night. read more

Welcoming from the time we parked till we left full as fat ticks. We sat at the bar and had a delightful time. No knowing a soul but feeling as tho we were surrounded by friends. Highly recommend read more

Stopped in for breakfast and had a delicious Eggs Benedict. All of our party enjoyed to food and atmosphere. We will be back.

Our food was delish! We were there tonight very busy time and they got us seated as discussed. Food came to table in timely manor and was hot. Glasses never got below 1/2 and was refilled. Will definitely be back! read more

Large and delicious portions. Very good service and friendly. Nice and little loud but ok

Can't say enough about this place. For the record, we were a group of 8. First, our server (Vicki) was fantastic. On point, we never waited on anything we needed! She was attentive, knowledgeable and fun to banter back and forth. Second, our food was delicious! The guys ordered the low country boil. One ordered Cajun, the other hot. Both LOVED it! The guys also had the crab bisque and oysters before.. should've shared one boil with all of the appetizers! The food portions are large! The drinks were good. Food was delicious. Service was on point. Had something for everyone in our party, even a shrimp allergy. Will be back next year! read more

Shipwrecks was a normal little seafood joint very close to the house we were renting in the st Joe Bay Area. The crab dip was the best thing we had, along with the bushwacker drink. The oysters were alright- the Cajun one was our favorite- not spicy at all. The fried seafood platter all tasted the same and would feed 2 adults. The food was fine, but definitely not our favorite in the area for the price. read more

Ordered our food and had roaches coming out of the woodwork. Stopped waitress to bring our bill and explained roaches were climbing down the wall to our tables. We didn't want to make a scene. She said that they had just sprayed yesterday, let me talk to my manager. She came back threw the bill on the table and walked off. read more

Our "go to" place! We feel so at home here. We've been dining at the Shipwreck for 6 yrs now, and the food and service are great! We love to have breakfast there. They serve late so you don't even have to get up early. Yummy oysters, in season. Tuna dip that we are addicted to. Just an all round great place for all the family! read more

Fun place to eat. Has a local vibe with delicious seafood selections. The hard part is deciding what to order. Started with crab dip with pita bread and the crab cake appetizer. Low country boil, steamed shrimp and bay scallops were all delicious and cooked to perfection. This is a favorite when in Mexico Beach. read more

Shipwreck Raw Bar - Bay scallops - Southern Near Me - Port St Joe, Florida

We love coming to Shipwreck for breakfast, it's the best joint close to us. Service here is always great; friendly and efficient. They make sure we are well taken care of. So far I've only been for breakfast due to the long lines at dinner time; but I'm looking forward to visiting for oysters and dinner this fall once season is over. They have a great eggs benedict and this past weekend I tried their Wewa Benedict with was a biscuit with poached egg topped with sausage gravy; it was so good. Other breakfast meals I've tried that were great include the 2 egg breakfast, cheese grits, and hashbrown casserole. Highly recommend for breakfast if you are in the area. read more

Love this place. Unassuming with friendly staff. Best raw oysters - super cold salty. I'm a seafood snob being from Louisiana and I would put their food up against any of our restaurants. read more
