Bowl of gumbo and blackened grouper sandwich with slaw
Brad R.

Stopped in for lunch after parasailing. This restaurant wasn't on my radar, but after hearing recommendations from the boat crew, we had to try it out. It did not disappoint! Multiple fresh catch options, nice indoor and patio spot right off of the marina. The gumbo was fantastic and loaded with shrimp and veggies. Will be back!

Hogfish tacos (with grouper cheeks in background)
Meghan R.

Came in fairly late on a weekday and was worried the staff would be annoyed at the time we arrived but the place was still busy and more people came after us. And really the food came out soooo fast it was a non-issue. We started with grouper cheeks which were good and a decent amount for the price. I got the hogfish tacos and my BF got the hogfish filet with 2 sides. The filet came with so much fish and he ate every last bit because it was good (and very hard for us to get at home). Tacos were good as well but I wanted a little something extra so I got the appetizer corn and was happy with it. Downside was service. There was a man who seemed more like a manager who was running around helping a ton of tables (he was great) but the other 2 servers working the floor were unhelpful and we ended up getting ignored for quite a while. In spite of that, definitely glad we picked and tried this place!!

End of Ahi nachos - drowned in sweet chili sauce and many chips (wonton) stuck in clumps like other reviewers have stated
Nicole C.

Very middling experience. ***Before you get there, know they have no liquor license - beer and wine only. We weren't going to drink, so this didn't affect our experience, but everyone should know!*** As soon as we were seated down, a fellow patron was raaaaaving about the incredible fish here. Felt like a good thing! A very happy-go-lucky server was roving and there was live music (chill). We ordered blackened fish with 2 sides and ahi nachos to start on. The nachos were not incredible, sadly. The tuna was small, lacking in quantity, and appeared very subpar in quality. I couldn't taste it because of the hefty volume of sauces and salsa piled on this dish, which overwhelmed everything (and ultimately caused the wonton chips to get soggy). The chips themselves were clumped and unevenly cooked - some quite dark/burnt and others barely kissed w frying. It was not BAD, but poorly executed and could be a really great dish! Fish that came out was good; reasonable portion, moderately blackened, but served on TOP of the side salad, making it warm and goopy. The fish was itself good but not top-tier compared to so many other options in the area. Ultimately the choices made in preparation and presentation made this an average stop for us. You could do worse as well as better!

Corn chowder with shrimp
MarMar G.

Lunch was delicious here. Started with the corn chowder which came with 3 lg grilled shrimps (not in pic). Then had the big Sammy fish sandwich with blackened grouper. Everything was delicious! Our server Jay was prompt, and professional. Loved sitting outside and enjoying the good weather and delicious food. The fries were good but the rice and beans were average.

Supposed to be grouper cheeks but the taste of catfish
Linda L.

Worst experience ever Posted price was $14 we get there and it's $20 the grouper cheeks I ordered was not lightly battered as menu states and for sure other than a few pieces was catfish flavored not grouper. I hate catfish so I know as well as being a chef. Oil it was fried in was super dirty too. Too late in the night to send back and deal with BS. Real shame establishments want to post locally caught fish and nothing was fresh. We also ordered the coconut shrimp and conch fritters posted as $13 we get there and it's $17.... Not worth the upset stomach and going back to hotel disappointed for the bad choice of restaurant . Everything else is closed on Sunday night to even stop for something else

Mahi, mixed veggies, and black beans and rice.
Kari B.

My friend and I are on girls trip and decided after a long day of travel we would walk to dinner. We decided to try this place and it did not disappoint!! I ordered the mahi fish with the black beans and rice and mixed veggies. Can I just tell you huge portions! I got three pieces of mahi fish, a good portion of veggies, and a huge amount of the black beans and rice. The fish was seasoned to perfection, I didn't even tartar sauce!! The veggies were tender but not over done. The black beans and rice were amazing! If I could've eaten more I would have. They had butter and seasoning on it that made it so good! My friend got the local fish called hogfish, veggies and the black beans and rice! The hogfish is a huge filet that practically took up the whole plate. So tender and flaky. Seasoned to perfection! This place knows how to cook fish. I would recommend to everyone. They were busy and our server, Taylor, was on it. He kept our glasses filled and was very helpful with selections to eat. We sat outside, it was a little hot in the evening but it was very nice and we met the mostly friendly couple and we talked about other places to try and where to shop!

The best ahi nachos every
Chase H.

Five years later and we're finally back and the one thing we talked about the entire time was the ahi nachos. Happy to report they're still just as good as we remembered. Absolutely did not disappoint. My wife and I split the fish tacos and a side salad (not pictured), and the salad was actually a great size for sharing. Between the ahi nachos, shared salad, and the tacos, it ended up being the perfect amount of food for the two of us. We washed it all down with a couple local beers on tap and called it a perfect afternoon. The servers were great and even suggested a beer that paired really well with the meal, which was a nice touch. Parking is easy, and the view adds to the whole experience. You can sit back and watch boats cruising by while others are getting launched or lifted out of the water by the massive forklifts at the marina. It's just a really cool atmosphere. If you go, the ahi nachos are a must. Five years later and we'd come back again just for those.

Fish and chips
Claudia C.

We took the trolley to Spearfish Grille on a rainy Saturday night. There was live music, but a rowdy bachelorette party made us opt for a quieter corner table inside (they let us seat ourselves, which was great). The boatyard ambience is so cute and cozy. Since we'd already had cocktails earlier in the day, we stuck with waters and shared the BEST cup of gumbo. seriously the best we've had since New Orleans! We'll definitely be back for a full bowl next time we're in town. We also got the calamari, which came out piping hot and perfectly crispy. I loved how thin and light the breading was, not heavy or caked on. A squeeze of lemon made it delicious, though I found myself wishing for more seasoning. For our main, we went with the fish and chips. Our server (who I think may have been the manager) kindly chose the fish for us since we couldn't decide. The breading was wonderfully crisp and served steaming hot. Again, I personally wished for a little more seasoning or kick, but the freshness and preparation were spot on. From our table, we had a great view of the staff at work, and it honestly felt like watching a big family. They were laughing, chatting with guests, and training a new young team member, encouraging her and showing her the ropes. At one point, a difficult customer came in and made some rude insinuations, but the staff handled it with total grace. They stayed calm, professional, and positive, contacted the owner, resolved it smoothly, and didn't let her negativity affect the vibe. I was really impressed. The restaurant itself was very clean and well-kept, and the overall energy was so welcoming. It looks like they do an awesome to-go business as well.

Grilled smoke tuna. The thickness was over 4inched high
Caridad L.

Wak Lied right in on a Friday evening musician was playing outside. We chose to sit inside. Specials of the Big Green Egg which we ordered: bacon wrapped scallops and a HUGE Piece of tuna. Amazing chef Erick came over and explained how he grilled the scallops and the tuna. The smoked flavor was out of this world. Also ordered blacked grouper with mashed potatoes. The fish was so fresh and tender and delicious The service was amazing Our drinks were continually being refilled and he gave great suggestions

Rox R.

We ordered Togo. Stopped to Fill up the boat with gas and stopped in for an order. This place was busy! My pulled pork sandwich was tasty - a bit salty but full of good flavor. Fries were good. I'm sure the fish is good. My bil had some later and he liked it fine . Lots of cool design touches inside and the outside area is nice. Our order took awhile but they let us know before hand it was very busy and would take awhile. I'd go back.

Tuna poke
Adam M.

Restaurant was as advertised, thanks Yelp! Simply prepared, freshly caught fish in a casual atmosphere. I had the grilled grouper tacos blackened and they were perfectly cooked and served atop a corn and crumbled cheese mix. I also liked that they had the option of a lettuce wrap. My son had the Mac and cheese which he appreciated was not Kraft from a box. The live music was a nice touch though perhaps a bit loud to carry on a conversation. Would return if in the area.

Crispy Fried Grouper Cheeks -10/10 so good

Found this place because of my Yelp community! It is a little hole in the wall, dive (which are…read moreoften the best places!) just a couple of blocks from Siesta Key Beach. It would be completely a miss on your map. We waited for a long time for a table, well past what we were quoted. There's not a lot of tables inside and a couple of bar seats. It is very small, we almost left, and the host said he would bring us food if we wanted to go next door and grab a drink. But it was well worth the wait. The host as well as our server were so friendly, so laid-back definitely beach vibes. They talked to us about how the owner was originally from upper Northeast came down and opened up the shop and they all were friends and worked together. You felt a great sense of a family to the staff. He recommended the grouper Reuben, which, maybe to some of you sounds kind of gross, but it was literally the best fish sandwich. I think I've ever had in my life. And i grew up on and still eat a lot of seafood. It was melted cheese. The fish was fresh. It was packed with fish, just enough sauerkraut and thousand Island to give it just a hint of Reuben. The fish remained the star and the bread was incredible too! The environment as you can see from my pictures it's just what you would expect a surf shack type of place to be and you literally could walk from the beach although we did drive after being at the beach all day. Highly highly recommend 10/10! Seek this place out if you're ever in Sarasota in Siesta Key Beach, it is the best and so fresh you won't regret it.

Not a ton of good food options around this area but this place is a gem. Small little fish market…read morewith a restaurant that probably seats no more than 20? A few community tables so make sure you don't mind that. Service is a little gruff but that fits the vibe of this local fish market. We got the clam chowder, the peel and eat shrimp, and split a grouper sandwich, and a few beers. The clam chowder was tasty. Good meaty and creamy flavor. Comes out piping hot. The peel and eat shrimp was fantastic. Whatever sauce they use on it, a cajun, buttery, garlicky sauce was just amazing. Definitely worth getting if you like that kind of thing. The grouper sandwich was good. It needed a little bit of salt but I can see why this is a specialty here. Tender meat, good sauce. Definitely a top seafood spot if you're looking for something less tourist-y.

Another staple of our time in siesta key is hitting up the siesta key oyster bar. Ironic cuz I…read moredon't eat oysters I'm simply there for the smash burgers. Skob is always packed. Always. But there's a reason behind this. The owner is on site quite a bit it's nice to see him. While the place certainly has quite a few miles on it mostly because it keeps getting beat up during hurricanes it bounces back. Feel free to bring a dollar and staple a dollar to the ceiling or if you're a copper firefighter bring your patch and they will hang it proudly. When I'm on vacation I like my food very simple. A simple double smashburger and fries 100% does me in. For servers are definitely all smiling another staple and not really an expectation but I'm so glad to see it. My wife got a chicken quesadilla not really adventurous again for the same reason. The beers are cold the servers are beautiful and everything is right with the world when I can sit down at siesta key oyster bar.

If you could only hit one restaurant in all of Florida, you would HAVE TO go to this one. The hype…read moreover this place is real. Plus who doesn't like cheaper raw oysters from 3-6PM EVERYDAY??! Servers were friendly and efficient. I like how you can nail a written on dollar bill on the wall. It's a cute, interactive idea. Raw oysters 10/10: Juicy, flavorful. Fresh. Everything oysters should be. I could've easily slammed 2 dozen by myself. Po Boy Oyster 10/10: This was fried the best considering we went to other restaurants and ordered the same dish. We'd be happy to have this meal again. Seafood quesadilla 8/10: Can't go wrong with this! I have a small appetite but still almost ate the whole thing.
