We were surprised that there was a way to check in for a table on the yelp app, but unfortunately didn't realize it until we were five minutes away. For a party of ten on a Wednesday night, we waited around one and a half hours. We were sat inside- we enjoyed the live music they had going on. Our server Richard was fantastic. One of my biggest pet peeves is having an empty drink cup. There wasn't a time throughout the night this happened. He checked on us multiple times, and was overall great at his job. The food was also fantastic. Would highly recommend the gumbo for everyone. It had a nice kick to it, but not super overpowering. I had the chicken fried chicken for my main. Tons of food for the price. The fries were crispy and had a nice seasoning on them. The chicken had a nice crunch, and the gravy was a nice addition. Overall, great vibes, great service, great food. Would highly recommend to anyone in the area. Would recommend signing up for the wait list earlier than later as wait times could be long (but totally worth the wait).

We had had to ask about it... it came at the same time as the food. Which is my fault but still. I had to remind her I ordered it. And it was ok. Strawberry daiquiri. I'll order something different next time. The food was really good. I got shrimp and scallops broiled with fried okra and cheese grits. Not a fan of the cheese grits but the okra was great. The shrimp and scallops were really good too. Hubs got broiled shrimp and fried oysters with okra and corn on the cob. He liked it all. Daughter got fried clams which were delicious! She also got corn on the cob and fried okra. Also all meals come with hush puppies. Over all a good experience.

The inside reminds me of a little Americanized French cafe on the water. There are plenty of options to choose from and the portions are huge! My husband got a house salad to start and a shrimp platter for his entree. The shrimp was delicious and not too greasy. He would have preferred the salad as a side and will do that next time. I got the Étouffée with shrimp, sausage and chicken - it was delicious. The side of French bread was super fluffy as well; it tasted like their croutons were made from the same bread. The service was stellar! Our server didn't push us to order and gave us the opportunity to ask questions. She waited on our whole section and was always thoughtful and let tables know when she'd be asking them to wait a few minutes while she served another table. We'll definitely be back!

Very attentive bartender. I looked up their website and found they have daily specials, and on Sunday it's shrimp and grits. My husband HAD to have it. We ventured over this morning right at 11:00 and sat ourselves at a high top near the bar. Our server Morgan came by promptly. Their version of shrimp and grits is unlike any you have had before. Very rich and mildly spicy cream/cheese sauce with shrimp, grits, spinach, mushrooms, and okra. The sauce was made with smoked gouda. Huge portion but he ate it all. I got a grilled grouper sandwich. Absolutely delicious. Morgan was delightful and talked with us about her career plans. She was covering the entire indoor area during our visit so she was really running. We can hear the music from our campsite, but they pull the plug at 9:00 pm so it's not too noisy late. I did not find any other review for the shrimp and grits so I wanted to be sure to post this and a photo.

What a lucky find! We stumbled upon this spot during our annual spring break trip since it was walking distance from our rental. It's the perfect place for our tradition of a late afternoon seafood feast right by the beach. The staff was fantastic, super attentive and quick. We ordered three Family Feasts (Snow Crab, Royal Red shrimp, mussels, corn, and potatoes), and every bit of it was seasoned and cooked to perfection. We're already planning to book the same house next year, so we'll definitely be back! read more

After a so-called "fine dining" restaurant completely failed to accommodate our party (with reservations), Hunt & Gather stepped in without hesitation and made our evening unforgettable. Our table ordered a little bit of everything, and every dish was outstanding -- elk burgers, baked fish, bolognese, filet mignon, and the quail quesadillas were all incredible. The lamb lollipops remain my absolute favorite, and the flash-fried Brussels sprouts were perfection. We also sampled all of the desserts, and not a single one missed the mark. Their beer and wine selection is fantastic as well, and the blackberry cider was especially delicious. A huge shoutout to our server, Paul, who was warm, attentive, and incredibly efficient. He seemed to anticipate what we needed before we even had to ask. If you're looking for consistently amazing food, excellent service, and a restaurant that truly knows how to take care of its guests, do yourself a favor and visit Hunt & Gather. Your palate will thank you.

From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by a wonderful hostess with a warm smile and a friendly attitude. My party of five chose to sit in the bar area and were seated immediately. Our server, Trent, was fantastic! He was personable, attentive, knowledgeable, and happy to answer all of our questions. The customer service was definitely one of the highlights of the evening. We started with salads and appetizers. I ordered the garden salad with Caesar dressing. The dressing was absolutely delicious--one of the best parts of the meal--but the salad itself was disappointing. It consisted mostly of romaine lettuce with just a tiny slice of onion, a couple of cucumber pieces, and a few carrot strips. The crab cakes, on the other hand, were excellent! They were flavorful and paired perfectly with the remoulade sauce, which tasted fresh and homemade. For my entrée, I ordered the stuffed shrimp. Unfortunately, it fell well below my expectations. The dish consisted of seven shrimp, each topped with just a small dab of crab stuffing. While the sauce was delicious, the overall presentation and portion of the stuffing left the dish feeling underwhelming. Around the table, opinions were mixed. The fried okra and hush puppies were both big hits, and everyone agreed the oysters were excellent. However, the Captain's Platter was a little disappointing, and the blackened fish was heavily over-seasoned for a couple of people in our group. Overall, Captain's Table delivered exceptional service but inconsistent food. I may come back to try some of the fried seafood since it looked really good on other tables, but based on this visit, I'll give it 3.5 out of 5 stars.

The blackened mahi sandwich was delicious and the portions were a good size overall. We would have loved a little more sauce with the sandwiches, but the extra sides of sauce felt expensive for such a small amount. Also worth noting -- no fries, just tortilla chips. The watermelon option was a nice touch, even though it was a bit out of season. For us, the biggest challenge was more the atmosphere at The Dock itself. The picnic table vibe wasn't really our favorite, and some of the boat crowd was pretty intoxicated, which made it harder to relax and enjoy the experience. Considering it's a food truck setup, we also felt the pricing was a bit high for the environment.
