Walt'z Fish Shak

Absolutely perfect. Went in with family and fell in love. Our server, the music man, and the owner greeted us and spoke with us throughout. Wonderful laid back old school feel and the grouper with sides was amazing. The key lime pie was incredible. Could not recommend it more.

Very small spot with just a few tables and a nice bar. We were fortunate enough to time our arrival just as a few tables opened and got right in. We’ve wanted to dine here for awhile but just hadn’t, our mistake. This is 100% seafood and a small menu as everything is fresh not frozen and we could appreciate that. If you want six pages of menu and hotdogs, this is not your place. We started with the grouper patties which we loved, the wife even asked if the had the dipping sauce to sell and take home. I had the blackened grouper that was absolutely perfect, the wife had grilled shrimp which were large pinks and they were perfect as well. I had the dinner with rice and veggies she had the greens. This will be a come back spot for us in the future and a definite go to when we have folks visit. Our server was very good explaining the menu and a bit about the restaurant and what they do.

Ok. It's a must try. All about the fish. Simple and pure. Cooking is spot on. Take it or leave it. We love our fish. Wine glasses like fish bowls too. Our kids loved it and we loved it. Authentic - search it out whilst u r here

Loved this place. Owners were incredibly friendly and nice. Has its' own parking on backside which is rare at John's Pass. The crab soup and mahi teriyaki burger were both yummy. Wife loved the smoked fish spread and shrimp and brother loves the grouper cakes and calamari. Generous pours of wine and was told restaurant was an old officers quarters that were moved to the current location.

I was hoping this was going to be a cool experience, but before I could even get seated, an older woman basically critiqued my family out the door. I understand salmon is not a gulf fish. I also understand this place is a seafood place, but I have a child who is a little picky on seafood. She likes salmon. When we walked in we were greeted with a "only seafood on the menu; no chicken no beef". I asked if they had salmon. She rudely described how salmon doesn't come from the gulf, and that you can't find salmon anywhere. Pretty sure a lot of restaurants within walking distance have it. Sad that is what we were greeted too.
