The Friendly Fisherman Seafood Restaurant

We always visit the Friendly Fisherman during our annual visits to the area. Today was our 3rd visit this week. We were surprised by a new menu that included a hefty jump in most prices. Our biggest surprise was the 10 pc shrimp becoming an 8 pc shrimp with a 25% price jump. The corn fritter basket jumped 35%. Our food and service was good. Kam was our waiter and very attentive and friendly.

The Friendly Fisherman is a fantastic establishment! The service is incredibly friendly and the food is consistently good. They offer a wonderful selection of freshly caught, battered fish that tastes incredibly fresh.I highly recommend the grouper tacos and the onion rings—they were easily the best part of the meal! We also tried the calamari, which was very flavorful and good, though it came out just a little bit oily. Overall, it was a really great dining experience and I highly recommend checking them out.

Hands down the best dinner experience I’ve had in the city so far! The top deck had a wait, so they offered us 10% off to sit downstairs, which turned out to be a total blessing. We sat right at the railing next to the water and got a front row seat to the dolphins and birds. We were so close we could literally see the texture of the dolphins! Pro tip: come around 7:30 PM so you can catch them playing at sunset. My boyfriend got the calamari and said it was the best he’s ever had, which says a lot because he’s a chef! I got the gator bites as an appetizer. If you’ve had them before, you know they can easily turn out chewy, but these were absolutely perfect. Our server, Chris, was an absolute angel. He was so diligent and attentive, and I even overheard him pointing out wildlife to other tables who were further back from the railing. Fantastic food, incredible atmosphere, and top tier service. Next time I’m in town, I’ll definitely be back!

Stopped by the Friendly Fisherman for a bite to get eat, The burgers looked good online. I was not disappointed. The Burger came out great Nice green lettuce I added some bacon and cheese to it. Fries were cooked perfectly. Drinks for awesome as well they have some nice frozen drinks, along with some souvenir cups that you can get some good deals on. They have inside seating and seating by the boardwalk as well as the water. The service was quick and friendly (it was a Wednesday)

Heather L is amazing! She was probably the most bubbly and attentive waitress that we have had in a very long time. When we have customer service like she provided we will always come back to patron the facility. Great job! The entire staff that we interacted with was very nice as well.
