“Long Waits, Poor Service and Bugs in the Food”

Friendly Fisherman Restaurant

3/4 found this review helpful

Did I say bugs in the food? Yes, if you like little worms with your entree, if you enjoy explaining to your 4-year old why their food is still moving and if you like poor attitudes from "manager" down to the wait staff, you have found your haven. Not only were there worms in the food, but the manager said that it happens "from time to time". How about this for an idea, wash the food before you prep it, maybe have a QC person checking entrees before they are served, or better yet how about not buying insect-laden food in the first place?

“Rude Fisherman”

Friendly Fisherman Restaurant

1/1 found this review helpful

The Friendlay fisherman was anything but! Four adults crammed into a tiney booth. When our wiatress (trish) showed up she was very abrupt and scowling at us. After we placed our order our waitress was non existant. Our appetizer arrived after our main course and then only when we said we never received them, the mozzerella sticks were still cold in the center. Trish slammed our plates down and rushed away before she asked if we need anything else. The chicken was dleicious but the two fish entrees ordered (2 differnet dinners) were overcooked and tasteless. When we asked to speak to the manager Trish suddenly appeared and crabbed the check form our hands and yelled at us. WHen the manager finally arrived he did take off the mozzerella sticks and apologized. Too little too late. WE have had better shrimp at Red Lobster! We will NEVER go back and let all our friends know to steer clear.

“Best Breakfast!”

The Friendly Fisherman has the best breakfast -- we went there four straight days in row and enjoyed everything. The waffles with strawberries are great! My favorite was the "works" sandwhich -- yum. Great for kids.

We were debating between all the restaurants on the John's Pass boardwalk. We wanted seafood, so we decided on this one; I am so glad we did! It was a good price for a ton of food! With their dinners you get the main course plus 2 sides and corn fritters. For the sides they have a really good house salad, and bake potatoes, or sweet potatoes. The staff was really nice, and we got seated immediately. It is a great view to see the ocean right out the window. We really enjoyed eating here.
