10. Tight Lines Pub and Brewing Co

Reviewed By Jesusan
When we first visited two years ago we were impressed with the quality of the food, the service, and the guest beers being served. We wanted to pay a return visit to see how they do with brewing beer. It's a good thing we waited two years to return, because the permit process took a very long time. We tried a sampler of their beers; we chose the beers to try. Of the six beers 5 were outstanding, one not so much. The ones we liked best were the Red Drum Amber, Blackfin Porter, and the Peach Bum. The food and service were once again excellent. Tight Lines will be a place we visit regularly when we are in the area. It is well worth a visit.

Visited with my daughter, friends and her family. We went in and immediately sat down gathering chairs and tables together. The minutes following we began discussing the food with the cook mostly about the type of hot dogs. He without any gloves took out a hot dog and showed us the type then replaced it back in the container. We ordered and shortly after that the cook started talking to a customer at the bar being very loud, rude and using vulgar language and we had a child 6 years old but he didn't seem to care. Finally we received the remaining of our meals and then the cook loudly announced that he was going to go to have a smoke. Before he could get from around the counter another large group entered and he instantly said some very unkind vulgar word and told them that he was going for a smoke and find somewhere to sit, play some games, do something I am going for a smoke. When he returned he came straight back in and never washed his hands but went right back to cooking. The food itself was ok but nothing to write much about, I was not impressed and have had much better at other places. The rudeness and vulgar language of the cook was completely out of order and I will not be visiting there again if for no other reason then the staff.

Stopped in last night for my birthday celebration. For an appetizer, we had the whipped feta. I absolutely recommend it. I had the âcatch of the dayâ which was swordfish. It was delicious. My wife had an arugula salad with chicken which she enjoyed...but couldnât finish...it was so much food. The drinks were also delicious and expertly mixed. Our server gave impeccable service. We ate in the outside deck and watched the sun go down. Great place and Iâm lucky enough to live here and enjoy it never I want.

I didn't feel a four-star performance, but I also felt it "above average." So we'll go with 4*. Service was ok, I have no real gripes, but a few things were off. For the prices (which were above average, you're paying for the view), the service was a bit slow and disinterested. Not rude, mind you, just slow and disinterested. I did enjoy being able to eat outside but under cover. However, I'm not sure I get "the view" we paid for. Youâre looking at a sandbar where people kayak to, etc., and there's boats coming and going, a strong smell of diesel permeates, etc. Those are the negatives. The positives: Prices are in-line with similar restaurants in the area. The outdoor seating is nice. And the food was quite good. I was there with my wife and teenage girls. We tried each othersâ entrees. The girls had the 4 cheese pizza. Excellent wood fired pizza, a quality mozzarella for the slightly elevated pallet. My wife had the Chicken Sumpinâ, with the broccoli salad. She referred to the sandwich (I didnât try it) as âok,â but the broccoli salad was excellent. I had the St. Joe with the kettle chips. Chips were decent. The sandwich was an Italian treat, a generous portion of meat and a unique vinaigrette. Wife and I were somewhat upset we failed to try the Black Sheep BPT, which is apparently the best sandwich on the menu.Again, overall Iâd call it above average for the spend. If in Beaufort, Iâd stop there again.

Went for lunch. Nice spot overlooking water. We both ordered the crab cake sandwich. Spouse had eaten the crab sliders before so we were really looking forward to our meal. The fries were hot and crispy. The crab sandwich was boring. It tasted like a crab cake with no crab meat. I am not sure it even had crab meat in it. Maybe just egg and bread crumbs. Really bad tasting. The best part of the meal was the Pain Killer drink. This was the best one on the Beaufort waterfront. We like to eat at Finz but will never order the crab again.

We stopped in on a Tuesday and received a friendly greeting and were immediately seated. Great decor and a step back in time. My wife had the shrimp burger which was full of lightly breaded and fried shrimp that were tasty, tender, and sweet. The coleslaw was very good. I had the fish and chips and there were 3 pieces of lightly fried and tasty flounder with fresh and hot fries. We split a brownie sundae and it was excellent. Friendly and engaged service and a great experience.

I have been going to Beaufort regularly for 15 years now and of all the good, decent, and not so much, restaurants in this lovely town, I always enjoy Stillwater. The food is consistently top-notch, the wine list is impressive, the service is great and the rum bar in the back always has an excellent bartender for a serious cocktail. Make time for lunch or dinner!
