Beer was cold, service was ok, waitress was nice, however, she didn’t offer second round of drinks. Food was mediocre. We ordered oysters and they were all the same size which was weird, and they had no flavor and were very chewy. We don’t think they were fresh from Louisiana and delivered daily like they said. The salmon sandwich was okay, the grouper tacos were ok, French fries were not fresh, it tasted like frozen French fries with a freezer burn taste and the stuffed tilapia was undercooked. We spent over $250 for lunch and we were very disappointed. We are not going back!

Waitress was friendly the place was clean atmosphere was too quiet as I noticed not many ppl there which should have been a red flag for me! Food was not that good. My bake potatoes looked like it was a week old and the hush puppies were mushy. Yuck. My daughter’s French fries looked like they were fried in old grease. She tried not to complain but didn’t eat that or her fish sandwich… Waitress graciously replaced the potato which was not a whole lot better. For two it was 51.00. I had shrimp 🍤 but I’ve had better at other places! Will not be back to this restaurant.

Spaghetti with marinara sauce??? Cold raw gator nuggets and terrible seafood pasta with no flavoring and clam strips over fried and rubbery straight from broke back mountains not at all new England’s finest I live in New England I’ll be letting them know you are false advertising soggy fish sandwich buns and artery clogging shrimp “scam pee” I should have known better but they placed everyone near the window to make it look busy we got dooped for sure

I showed up at 8:21pm , 6 people , only like 4 tables had people , the hostess told us multiple times while asking for a seat that they close at 9pm, we asked what that meant , she said " people sit around for hours and talk " She sat us , reluctantly, and the waitress looked at us and sighed. .. I've ate here for 23 years , and I won't ever be coming back

We came from Lakeland and stopped for a late lunch Friday, service was wonderful. I ordered Fish and Chips. The fish fingers, literally , were so small and the fries were tasteless and just terrible. Ownership needs to try their own food, $19.50 is a joke for the dish. The clam chowder , chewy clams , meh. With the exorbitant $20 parking charge go elsewhere

Our waitress was attentive and delightful. She was the bright spot of the restaurant. My blackened shrimp and beer were the same temperature; unfortunately neither one was correct. They need to replace the internally fogged windows overlooking the bay.

We opted for here since it had a great view of the water. Everything was just “ok”. My crab legs had no flavor, my friend’s Tilapia tasted old. We ordered calamari as the appetizer and it was really greasy and lacked any flavor. We left disappointed after having wanted sea food all day. Not anywhere I would go again. Such a shame not having amazing food to go those views.

Our waiter was literally dead inside. Zero personality or life in him. The food was NOT good. Scallops, shrimp and Grouper tasted like frozen food, NOT fresh at all.

The food at Friendly Fisherman Restaurant has declined. Two years ago the food was great. Now the food has declined. Would not recommend the restaurant. The clam chowder recipe was changed and the crab cake is not actual crab cake. The service was still great, but the food has declined.

I normally don’t leave reviews but wow this place sucks. I mean our server was really nice and very stressed out so this review has nothing to do with service. We ordered the crab and wow it was the worst crab I’ve ever had. Not being dramatic. And the rest was not great. They messed up all our drinks. Oh and the hostess what very short and kinda rude.

Unfriendly!! Have kid who is on the spectrum and very picky about what she eats. Wouldn’t allow us to bring something she could eat even though we offered to order extra food to make up for it and they told us it’s against health code violation, lol. Florida has no code and it’s up to restaurant. With restaurants and staff struggling to make ends you think if someone is willing to spend money and take care of their servers everything would be ok. Maybe fix your kids menu to include more common items whether parents like us can come to your establishment. All good at least Bubba Gump next door proved to kid friendly. Good luck!!

Very very amazing restraunt. It's right on the edge of the bay so you can go outside and look at the water, people fishing, and boats passing by. The food was the best I've had here after a week of staying. It tasted very fresh and no fishy taste at all. The corner fritters with the powder sugar and honey are amazing if you have a sweet tooth. 10/10 all around on everything.

I went on the 5 hour fishing trip in the morning and caught some keepers. We were told that the Friendly Fisherman restraunt would cook them for us. They did a great job cooking our fresh fish. They also accommodated my wife's and my dietary restrictions very well. Overall, we were full and completely satisfied with this restraunt. We had great service and great food, not much more to ask for in a restraunt. I will be back next time we are in the area.

Favorite place at St Johns Pass. Fish on the wall are enjoyed by adults as well as kids. Airconditioned views of the bay while you eat is a plus on hot days. We usually come early to avoid crowds. I was going to try the clam chowder this time cause I heard it's excellent. But went with the inshore platter. Hubby got the Captains platter, blackened. Huge portions. We always talk of trying another place but always end up here at least once a trip.

Friendly Fisherman Seafood Restaurant not so friendly! Upon arrival with a group of 8, including 2 kids, we were met with disappointment. Despite the kids simply playing at the claw machine outside, (aka the claw machine that outside their own doors), the older host lady with bright white hair refused to seat us until they were inside, causing an unnecessary delay. Once seated, it took an unacceptably long 10 minutes before we were greeted by our waiter. The restaurant was not busy and had plenty of open tables. While the waiter was pleasant, the initial experience (the host) left a sour taste in our mouths. I will update this review after we eat. Hopefully it’s not as horrible as dealing with the awful host!

We ended up here because we were looking for a location by the water. We found the parking fee for this area at $6 for 2 hours to be high. We just wanted something to drink. Unfortunately the drinks menu didn't contain any prices, which was a minus point for us. We asked the price of the drinks. The waitress quoted us $3.99. When we received the bill we realized it was $7. If the owner doesn't put prices on the menu, the waiters should at least know the prices and say them correctly. Drinks were good though. There were 4 stars only for the location. We were able to watch some dolphins. The waiter we paid with was very friendly.

The food was just average. Expected more for the price point. Our service was sub-par. I would say our waitress was possibly having a bad day if I didn't see her interact with other patrons on a friendlier level. We ordered the souvenir drinks but weren't told upon ordering that they weren't available. The menu online included more than the menu presented to us in the restaurant. Our server was so unapproachable that I was afraid to ask questions about the menu. I ordered a second drink and she forgot while proceeded to socialize with patrons waiting for a cruise who had already eaten. She barely checked on us or bothered to offer additional items or suggestions, which should be expected in a tourist area. We were excited for the experience based on the reviews but probably would not recommend as must have.

We have visited this restaurant several times over the years. The quality of food has become unacceptable on our visit in late January 2024. The food was heavily coated and no taste to the food. They are cutting corners on the quality of the food to stay in business . I do not recommend this restaurant because the food is not fresh . It is package food that is not appeasing to the taste. If they keep going , this restaurant will be out of business or they will disappoint the tourists who happen to wander in and expect a great Florida meal on their short Florida , and take their money.

Food was very good...service, not so much. Visited on 4/5 to be greeted with a rude and unprofessional hostess. We happened to enter the restaurant from the street down below the main restaurant. The hostess was a bit sassy when telling my family to check-in with the hostess. We should see the signs for the hostess stand...signs are everywhere. First time in and wasn't aware of all that. Should have been a bit more sensitive, understanding and helpful, instead of accosting us. Then our server (guy, thin hair, glasses) was also sassy during our table experience. I kindly asked for more water...he said something like "I already noticed that"...how was I supposed to know that. I thought it was a bit of a rude and unnecessary response. Then came time for the bill, and again I kindly asked for our check. The server then says..."If you wait a minute I'm bringing it". Again, how was I supposed to know he had it and was bringing it...rude and inappropriate. Just wanted to share for up training purposes. Looks bad on the whole restaurant.

Ashely our waitress was fantastic!!! I had the blackened Mahi fillet with shrimp, rice and veggies- fries on side. VERY saturated in butter. Hard to eat- I ate the fish but asked for new veggies and fries cause I couldn’t eat them as they were soaked in butter.corn fritters are probably the best I have ever had! Restaurant is on the boardwalk so the water view is limited. Second floor seating with small booths. ONE bathroom stall always difficult. Overall a good restaurant with pretty good good at decent prices. Fresh fish.

Haven't been here since this whole area was about out by one gentleman.. Service is ok... Crabcakes are unique, personally I'm not a fan Cooked perfectly just odd flavor.... New England clam chowder is good, clams are tender. One critique, it could use more clams (and potatoes) the flavor is good, but if you're from up north you may not be happy.. It's more of a "soup".. Captains platter, hush puppies are perfect. The fries are good. Scallops are rubber... Shrimp is good Blackened Grouper, eh, not great, not done right.. Fried shrimp is good.. Overall, it's decent..

I have been going to this restaurant for over 30 years. Never had an issue until today. February 16. My husband and I went there for our 8th anniversary. What a mistake. They were busy and we went to the deck where we were told to take a seat and someone would be with us. Now I understand they were busy, but people kept coming and going with no one saying a word to us. Finally a lady came up and asked if we wanted menus. Our exact words, yes, please. Off she went only for us to be ghosted. Now I understand they were busy, but don't tell someone to take a seat and then proceed to look after people who came afterwards. I tried to get the attention of both the lady who told us to take a seat and the one who asked if we wanted a menu, but they both acted like they didn't hear me and they were less than a foot away.. Again I understand they were busy, but don't tell someone this and then not only ghost them, but ignore them when they try to ask what is going on.

Overall it was an average experience, the waiter was fairly friendly and answered our questions readily. They had the normal selections of beers, along with an IPA options. My friend complimented it, I cannot comment further as I didn’t drink on this note. I ordered the Fish and Chips along with a cup of Clam Chowder. The Clam Chowder came first and it was amazing!! I have not had a better Chowder ever honestly. Then came the Fish and Chips, a bit of a disappointment honestly. The fish batter was fairly basic and lacked flavor along with no real crunch. The fries weren’t that special either, similar to fast food quality. I would definitely come back, but I would stick to the soup and just get a bowl as everything else I had was pricey for the quality.

Went to this place in a large group, and our service was great. Our waiter was very accommodating and handled our large group very well. Sorry I didn't get his name but he had tattoos on his arms. Atmosphere is also great. It's on the water, nice view, I loved the taxidermy fish species that decorated the main dining hall. Food, is unfortunately where this place fell short. I ordered the salmon with the cheese / spinach sauce, with fries on the side, but it was only okay and on the dry side. Did not taste like a fresh catch at all. Just felt underwhelming. I'd definitely not order it again. Was VERY disappointed to hear the whitefish dishes were farm raised talapia, Really, now? You're on the Gulf, this is inexcusable. Heard the clam chowder was excellent though, unfortunately I don't like clam anything.

We brought a large group in to celebrate our son’s birthday (following the pirate ship excursion next door). The staff at the Friendly Fisherman went above and beyond to make it extra special for our family. They asked us to bring our cake in so that they could put it in the cooler for us while we went on the ship. I asked them to please store our decorations for us too and not only did they do that, but they had our table all decorated for us when we got off of the ship! Our server, Sydney, was great and the manager, Chris, was very kind and accommodating. What a great experience. Highly recommended.

Trying to find restaurants that can accommodate our Celiac suffering daughter when we are away from home is immensely challenging. Which is why when we asked about the allergen menu at The Friendly Fisherman, we were very impressed by Chris, the Manager, who explained in great detail how his kitchen operated and knew exactly what our daughter could eat and not eat. He took very good personal care of us from start to finish! On top of that, the food and a excellent!

The area just inside the main entrance is small, and there's a very steep, narrow stairway going downward to the immediate right very close to the entrance way. It's dangerous because it would be very easy to fall down the stairs. There is no chain nor any warning. Also the restaurant hours are listed on the entrance door but it does not let you know it's seasonal and therefore they closed early. The waitresses were very rude, and one said I was in the kitchen area when I was not, and also said that this time of year they're not real busy. Everyone knows that the end of November is tourist season in Florida. The oysters in a half shell were delicious but I won't be going back because of their utter negligence and very poor attitude. I hope no one gets hurt by those stairs.

Lovely view, good food and great service (thanks, Sydney). Elevator is on the right when facing the front doors- beside the ATM and Pay to Park kiosk. First floor is a lounge and outdoor tables. Before 5pm menu had Scrod Jason for a lower price- delicately flavored and ordered well done for crispy bread crumb topping at Sydney's suggestion. Off the regular menu, the crab cake & shrimp arrived very hot and was a hit. The only miss was the corn fritters which were stodgy and likely held under a heat lamp. We were so early only one other table came in while we were there. Johns Pass is a main tourist area so food can be dicey but this was fresh and good textures.

Excellent food and service. The claim chowder is to die for and highly recommend you don't skip out on this. The Scrod Jason was also wonderful. The potato was a little undercooked, but soft enough to not worry about it lol.

Ate in bar downstairs. Place should change its name to Unfriendly… Bartender not friendly, birds eating food leftover on plate because no one picked it up after patrons left and it wasn’t busy.. Anyway the fish taco was decent but who wants to put up with that.

They’ve got some unique dishes - I got the crabmeat stuff tilapia. Service was good. Only downer was the seating felt a little crammed, though to be fair we had two little ones with us.

Had not been in years. We ordered appetizers and they were a little messy. They didn't bring us the little plates for sharing so it made it very awkward. Food was mediocre. The fritters were thick and heavy, kind of burnt tasting. Fries were blah and there was absolutely no taste or seasoning to the Coleslaw. Fish was good though. Will I go back, probably not.

Me and my husband stayed a few days at Madeira Beach (honeymoon) and met up with some local colleagues while staying here. They took us to Lisa’s for brunch and all I can say is that I’m so happy with

I’ve always wanted to try this restaurant because I had heard they serve the freshest fish and when they run out they close. I had reviewed the menu before we went so we were prepared for the $46 per
