★★★★☆ 4.0 Shawn Casselberry · Jan 2026

I had high hopes for this place. It's closed on Mon-Tues, so I eagerly waited until Wed to try it out. The location is right on the beach and it's a close walk from where I was staying. It took awhile to be seated even though there was a crowd of servers at the front. Once seated, we had a very friendly server who we enjoyed and a great view of the ocean. Unfortunately, that was the highlight as the food was disappointing. I had the ribs and shrimp since the outside of the restaurant boasts "seafood, ribs, oysters". The ribs were VERY tough, at some points I wasn't sure if I was chewing the meat or bone. It only came with five shrimp, but the shrimp were good. I got a fancy drink that was average. The manager came by several times, which was a nice touch. I'd go again because of the ambian

Our server was such a sweet gentleman. The perfect amount of friendliness and attentiveness. I dont remember his name, but he had a long braid, so if you, the manager reads this, please give that man a kudos! He helped make our experience lovely. I had the gumbo and it was delicious. We are visiting, but prior to coming here we had stopped at NOLA, and at the place my mom tried there, the gumbo was not it. She tried this one I ordered from Surf Hut and she ended up ordering a cup herself. The view was beautiful, as we sat at sunset. The vibe was very cozy. Since it is off season, not too crowded. The only reason we waited to be seated was for requesting a table by the window. Which I will add, the only surprising thing was a charge for that and also a credit card use fee on our ticket. Oth

Friendly staff and a great beachfront view, but the food didn’t quite match the price. Fried shrimp and crab legs were fine, just not memorable. You’re paying more for the location than the food quality. Good spot if you want the view with dinner.

★★★★★ 5.0 Amanda Nieto · Mar 2026

Literally the best Fish tacos in town. I got them fried. Best crunch and seasoning. Highly recommend the key lime pie and the smoked tuna appetizer. Key lime pie was soft and the whipp was thick. Not too overbearingly sweet. Best part though is the service. Ashley was absolutely incredible. She kept our table alive and she even drew a beautiful picture of our to-go box. Would come back for her and the fish tacos!

★★★★★ 5.0 Tony Swann · Oct 2025

Super busy on a Monday evening around 6:30. Got lucky and grabbed two chairs at the bar. Great open air view to the beach with a nice gentle breeze blowing through the dining area. My wife had the fried shrimp with French fries and slaw, nice big shrimp! I had the blackened shrimp tacos, smaller shrimp but real flavorful, it came with white rice dusted with black beans and corn. All the food was tasty. The menu is quite extensive. The You're My Boy Blue beer was excellent. Bar tender Chris and his sidekick did not stop making drinks the whole time we were there, either for people sitting at the bar or the constant line of people walking up to the bar. They did a great job.
