    Minimal lunch meat for a sub.

    Yuck. I wanted a simple sub so I decided to stop in, they were very busy during the lunch rush but I ordered and waited. I got a ham and turkey with provolone on a sub roll, mayo lettuce and oil and vinegar, bag of chips and a drink... $17! Insane price for a sandwich lunch, but I was hopeful that it would be worth it. When I got back to my office I opened my sandwich and it was soaking wet, so much that the bottom was falling out. It had tomatoes, which fine I'll pick them off, but hardly any lettuce and gobs of mayonnaise. After opening it up, there was one slice of ham and one slice of turkey as far as the meat goes and no provolone which I had asked for. The entire sandwich was soaked with mayonnaise and oil and vinegar, in excessive amounts and was inedible. I picked out the couple slices of meat and the rest away. Not worth the price.

    Breakfast burrito

    Stopped by for breakfast and will definitely go back to try their other items on the menu. Breakfast burrito was really good. Service was kind and helpful. Good price too.

    Cheesesteak and fries.

    This is a local favorite in Port Salerno. Bret and I found this place when we moved into the Yacht and Country Club. Quickly realized we were not the country club kind and moved right out but continue to come here almost weekly. You walk in and everything is listed on a board. I have never ordered anything but the cheesesteak as they are incredible. Most like the ones I used to get in Philly. I usually get a half as they are cut much larger than a true half. Service is good and the price is typical. About $30 for two sammys, fries and drinks. Now for the downside. As my hubby says, "you're not going to be impressed by the decor". But,

    Been wanting to try this place for a long time and did not disappoint! Got the cheesesteak as mentioned by another reviewing and it was delicious! I will definitely be back. Heads up: they do close rather early, so be sure you get there more than 30 minutes before close.

Now nearly 20 years later, it's still the first restaurant I want to go to when I come back to visit. Nestled along the beautiful Manatee Pocket, nearly every table has a waterfront view to watch the boats going by. The decor "inside" (it's a nearly all outdoor restaurant by the way) is classic Florida; I am always amused by the hurricane water level lines! Even the walk up into the restaurant is a boardwalk ramp (accessibility for the win!) The staff is always friendly there and service is consistent with the speed of getting things in my recollection over the years, even if it's packed. Food wise, Shrimper's has this bread that is just incredible and I can't exactly describe the flavor. I think it's a rosemary and poppy seed bread but I would pay money for their bread recipe. It's that good. I don't think you can get it anywhere else. My typical dinner choice is definitely on the "turf" side, where I like to get the Philly cheesesteak or some kind of pasta dish. This time I went with the pasta primavera, which was new on the menu. I added blackened chicken on top. The veggie quantity was good, and I liked how there was a lot of artichoke, which is more unique for a primavera. Anyhoo, I currently live about 1000 miles away from Shrimpers so I'm not there too often anymore but I always look forward to my next visit!

For our entrees, I had the seafood platter, my bride had the shrimp scampi. Finally for dessert we shared a slice of the caramel cheesecake. THE ATMOSPHERE: The restaurant is on the water with bar seating and white cloth table dining in several rooms. If you're looking for seaside dining Pirates Cove will suite you fine. THE FOOD: Our appetizers... My French onion soup was made like a traditional French onion soup with plenty of melted cheese and oodles of onions. There were plenty of mussels bathed in a delicious white wine and butter base for my brides mussels appetizer. Our entrees... My seafood platter featured a small serving of white fish, which was nice and juicy, two small stuffed shrimp, which were quite tasty, two scallops made properly (not under cooked and slimy or overcooked and rubbery). My brides shrimp scampi featured 5 small shrimp over a bed of linguine. The dish was well made with hints of garlic and butter in the balanced cream sauce. The dessert: Our caramel cheesecake dessert was creamy and rich. THE SERVICE: It's always a challenge for a server to serve large parties, but our server did great. Delivered our drinks in a timely fashion watched over us for any needed refills and clearly explained any questions we had. THE BOTTOM LINE: As always with my reviews, the "customer so what" would I return is complicated for the Pirates Cove. My answer... probably not. Why not if the food was prepared properly, the ambiance was fitting for a seafood restaurant and the service was fine? The answer lies in serving size, price and add on charges. I don't mind paying premium prices for a premium meal but Pirates Cove charged $40 for a seafood platter that should more realistically be called a seafood sampling. At $36 My wife's shrimp scampi should have featured large shrimp instead of the small shrimp she received. And, finally, the add on prices which included a 3% service charge and a whopping 21% tip. I don't mind tipping heavily for good service and our server would have probably gotten 25% if it was my choice. However, I HATE having a restaurant dictate what I'll tip! I understand mandatory tipping for a large party but I've never seen it set at 21%! As for the service charge, it was placed on every bill whether you paid with a credit card or not. One of my guests asked if that was a credit card fee (which I hate as well) and was told if he paid cash, our servers would take that fee off. How many people didn't know enough to ask that question, and end up paying that fee when paying with cash?? I hate underhanded trickery like that and discourage it by not returning. In summary you'll have to ask yourself before dining at Pirates Cove, is the food, ambiance and service quality worth the rest? If it is, enjoy. As for me, I'll skip it. There are too many other great seafood places that will provide quality dining, great service and atmosphere without the unwelcome luggage included.
