★★★★★ 5.0 Jim Mallinger · Feb 2026

Maybe the best happy hour ever. Half off everything including meals, apps, and drinks. This causes a food frenzy, show up at 3PM when happy hour begins and you will find people lined up outside to get the deal. It took us about 45 minutes to get in. We had a nice beach view table even though we said first available. We had drinks and full meals for about $30. Over all it was a fun experience. There is lots of free parking near by which is surprising in this area. Beach access is right next door which we took advantage of.

We have been coming to this restaurant for over 30 years. The food has always been good. The service is always been good. The atmosphere is why we go. If the weather is nice it will be packed. This is the kind of place you slow down and take in the day, So if you're in a rush it's probably not for you. FYI if you go in February they have half off the entre menu from 3-5 on weekdays. Be prepared to wait in line to get a table, But you can get a drink and sit on the front patio or out back on the beach until they text you.

We visited an early February. We had no wait for a table. The service was quick and friendly. I ordered a white peach sangria, which was delicious. Our entrées included Sunset Shrimp. It was half a pound of shrimp and he subbed out the cocktail sauce for the tartar sauce. The shrimp were fresh and fried beautifully. The french fries were crispy and tasty. I ordered the East End Fish Tacos with the blackened grouper. Tacos were delicious with a slaw and pico de gallo. We were seated at a high top at the back of the restaurant, with windows facing the beach. An incredible view! It was February and a bit chilly, and the staff was very accommodating with cranking closed the windows for us.

Schooners great longtime local. 3-5 February weekdays are 50%. They get mobbed during this promotion so go outside of this time. We went about 1:00 Monday and skipped the madness. We had no wait and were promptly seated. We both had the flounder grilled. It was perfect, fluffy and delicate. My sandwich had the bun grilled and a generous slice of tomato. Service was efficient. The beer was a can of Idyll Hounds Conch. It’s an ipa that tastes more like a cousin of a Guinness than an ipa, so I definitely would get a different ipa. Will be back.

Great place! Great view right on the beach. We had the fried shrimp dinner and Bloody Marys. The shrimp were excellent. They were tender, flavorful, and perfectly cooked! Victoria took great care of us!
