10. Fokker's Pub

Reviewed By Pettite
We stopped into Fokker's Pub specifically for their German food. The location is not far from the beach hotels. We were greeted right away and asked to seat ourselves (it was early for dinner and not super busy at the time). The waitress was friendly and quick. We had the Jaeger schnitzel and the schnitzel with a sunny side egg. The meat was tender and each meal was pretty good overall. The atmosphere is very casual. It was also family friendly so young children were welcomed - it is not like a bar - more like a laid back restaurant with TVs and very casual. Thanks Fokker's!

Started with the Wild West Shrimp and the White Cheddar Stuffed Mushrooms. Both came out hot and fresh. This was followed up with a Rib Eye and fresh salad. Steaks were cooked perfectly with just right amount of seasoning. The portions were generous and the service excellent.

We had burgers. They were tasteless and the bacon was overcooked. As the main menu item, you expect a great burger. The chicken fingers were good. Cups for drinks are paper. For a humid environment, you are lucky to finish your drink before it crumbles. Disappointing dinner.

We stopped in one Wednesday evening and sat out on the patio. I was looking for a restaurant that we would also be able to see the Wednesday fireworks from. The burgers and beer were great. We had our son, daughter-in-law and three grandchildren. Ended up have a perfect view of hte fireworks also. Really enjoyed our time and meal.Hi Rebecca, thank you for stopping in and bringing the family! We love that you all enjoyed the fireworks, food and overall entire atmosphere! We certainly hope to see you all back in when you are in the area! Mike KeeProps Brewery - Founder325-829-1628

I have been here a few times and never had the same meal here, lots to choose from, A to Z, they have it all. I try to watch out going to buffets as people try to get their bucks worth, I keep it simple, soup, dinner and dessert, sometimes two desserts.Your 5-star review just made our day! We always strive to delight our guests, and sincerely appreciate it when you choose to dine with us.
5. Red Lobster

Reviewed By pamelagay2015
This RL is located on the Intercostal Waterway which gives a gorgeous view of vessels, water, sea birds and isolated beach on the far side with no views of condos or other evidence of a tourist destination. Only a few wooden power poles spoil the view. A park is next door within walking distance. The décor inside is consistent with RL everywhere. Even on an overcast winter day we could enjoy the "beachy feeling".The Cheddar Bay biscuits were hot & curbed our appetites until the salads arrived. Our oversized lobster platters were bountiful with the selected entrees and sides. The main lobster tails were sweet, juicy and tender. The rock lobster tails were chewy as usual. Both needed seafood forks to remove the bites of lobster still in the ends of the tails! I hated to waste one morsel. The sirloin was tender and prepared as requested. The lobster & shrimp Linguini Alfredo was creamy and full of seafood. The baked lobster pieces in a butter sauce were excellent.Sides of mashed potatoes & the Caesar salads were good except a small rotten lettuce leaf piece. Cole slaw was OK. The roasted green beans were a disappointment with no seasoning or natural green bean flavor.I ordered hot tea and was given chamomile which typically makes it easy to fall asleep. I was surprised and asked for a different one. The selection is meager at best (no Earl Grey, a very popular selection). All were caffeine free except the Irish breakfast which is not my favorite due to its strong bitterness, but I needed a jolt after the chamomile! Next time I'll bring my own teabags or order coffee. My spouse had ice tea with no complaints.The spoon accompanied by the hot tea was caked with food the dish washer missed; unappetizing, though I'm sure sterile. I asked for a replacement and real sugar. The server brought the sugar right away, but took so long for the spoon I stirred the tea with my fork! Other than this the service was very good.

This was our second time here and definitely the last. I hoped to give them another try with different results but after 2x's, I'm not impressed once again... DONE. Both times, the staff has acted sassy/rude and really not very considerate of paying guests. To top it off, they want to charge you extra for more chips for the crab dip when there already wasn't enough in relation to the amount of dip you receive. Then, to charge .50cents for "strawberry butter" for hushpuppies is tacky considering you order a $30 steak which was tough and not impressive. Fish special was overcooked...just really not impressed with sub-par food plus charging extra for every little item. I never mind paying extra when it makes sense but this just seemed petty as much as we spent on our meal. To finish on a positive note, the fried shrimp was the only relatively good item out of four dinners.

There is a reason this small coffee/breakfast/lunch/cafe is so crowded. It is awesome. Food is always perfect, coffee without all the hoopla of SB, and really great servers/owner. Eli is extremely open and a good guy. If you haven't tried this place yet, don't wait any longer. I may not CrossFit, but I coffee.Thank you Spectre13 get back in soon and see us. Thank you Eli Mason
