Party of 5 - neither the mozzarella sticks or fries were cooked all the way...the burger ordered well done was medium rare. They charged us for kids Mac and cheese even though they didn’t have any and brought a substitute the child wouldn’t eat. And it took 20 minutes for a server in the nearly empty restaurant to acknowledge us.

I dropped him off with him because I had eating at Po Folks many years ago while in Florida. I was not disappointed when I ordered my old favorite standby liver and onions. The quantity and quality most satisfying. If I'm in the area again I will stop here and if it's on the menu I will have the liver and onions.

Dockside Oyster Bar & Cafe

Reviewed By Caleb J

We tried this place for lunch. It definitely was a disappointing visit. Food was okay nothing really wow. Service was terrible, it took us more than a hour for everything to come to our table. Our server wasn't the problem. She was good. The problem was the kitchen getting backed up. I can understand a kitchen getting backed up for dinner, not sure how or why the kitchen got backed up for lunch. Probably won't return again.

My husband and I use to frequent this restaurant for breakfast, and I’ve been a few times with coworkers. On our last visit, I had just returned home after a week in Atlanta late the night before. I was tired and just ready to enjoy a good breakfast. I had a busy day to catch up from being out of town. It took about 45 minutes to get our food. We haven’t returned since that visit nearly a year ago now.

Doc's Oyster Bar

Reviewed By sheilal967

Went here on the recommendation of some guys working at the nearby Air Force Base who have eaten at many local restaurants. They told us that it was rustic and it was but that is part if the charm. Don't let the initial impression of the place scare you off.You can eat inside or outside with water views. You order and pay at the bar, then seat yourself and they will find you to bring your food to you.We had 1/2 lb peel and eat shrimp which were nicely seasoned and properly cooked. We also had a shrimp basket with fried shrimp, hush puppies, fries, and slaw. It was obviously that it was freshly prepared for us. Diet Cokes with free refills. If you are an oyster fan, this is the place for you. We aren't, but there was a line forming with people ordering them and they looked amazing

Boathouse Landing

Reviewed By sunshine_traveler57

I've been coming here for 15 years. Never had a poor meal. Never had poor service. This is a local gem with excellent fresh seafood and enjoyable water views. Lunch on Friday was no exception. Christal, our server, was cheerful and engaging. Our go-to choice of fried shrimp basket was hot, fresh, crispy and flavorful. Perfect texture on the Gulf shrimp. Another favorite meal is the Coconut Chicken (or shrimp) Salad. There's so much going on in that plate with flavors and textures. Yum. Daily specials never disappoint. For weekend brunch try fish and grits. Honestly, you cannot make a bad choice here. It's where we bring visitors and work groups, and where we go for special occasion meals.Thank you, Sunshine_traveler57, for your wonderful review of The Boathouse Landing! We are so happy to hear that time after time, we are able to impress you. We appreciate your kind words and your loyalty more that you know. We are looking forward to your next visit.

The Local’s Eatery

Reviewed By AuntieVicki

Had family visiting and we all had a wonderful experience! We chose inside dining...outside waterside dining would be a great option in cooler (mosquito-free) weather. The restaurant is at the head of Boggy Bayou at the marina and the scenery is beautiful. Service was fast and friendly. Adults tried “The Loaf”...smoked meatloaf and the “Grouben”...a grouper Reuben (on sourdough, not rye), kids had burgers and popcorn shrimp basket (shrimp tasted nice and fresh and were larger than popcorn size!). We all agreed that the grouper Reuben was our favorite. Although the music was a little too loud to have comfortable dinner conversation, we had a good time and will be back.

The food was great as was our waiter. For some reason the food just took forever to come out. Once we got it it was great, just took a long time. They weren’t that busy, so not sure why.Thank you for the high rating! It's wonderful to know you had an excellent time with us. We appreciate your feedback on timing, we do make everything fresh and to order however we apologize if it seemed to take too long during your visit. We will definitely review what happened here and make adjustments.to ensure the BEST possible experience. We hope you'll be back our way soon. All the best, Chris and Tyler, Co-Owners
