Although my food was pretty decent the meal was greatly overpriced. Half of the people in my party ordered crab dishes which came with bonus pieces of crab shells in their meals (sarcastic yeah!). If you are looking for a nice restaurant or even a decent restaurant go elsewhere.
Bushwackers is a glorified bar that happens to serve food. There isn't a non-smoking section in this restaurant either.

The food was just okay and pricey. The place is old and rundown. When we walked up to the restaurant, three of the cooking staff were outside smoking. That should have been a big enough red flag and we should've just turned around then! I actually found a hair in my salad! The alligator bites were swimming in grease. My crab stuffed flounder was good, but my husband's crab stuffed shrimp was terrible! Each entree cost twenty dollars and change. The wait staff were dressed more like they worked at hooters with their butt cheeks hanging out of their short shorts!! Find another restaurant!!! Yuk

They do a great job of advertising. That's where "great" begins and ends. We had what was quite possibly the worst meal ever. The place is a dirty, smoky, bar with a great view. That's it.

And oh, the bathrooms....do not go there! We should have hit the john first. We would never have been seated to "dine" Gross!

Our family went out for our last night at the beach celebration and decided on Bushwackers - it was close to our accomodations and had a nice looking menu.
The entire restaurant is 'smoking' and it is totally more of a bar atmosphere than a restaurant. We were there Labor Day Weekend and their grill was broken - some of our meals were cold - the others were okay. Definitely not consistent quality foods - nothing to brag about.
This will not be on our for next year - we were disappointed.

Has a nice location right on the water and is attached to the fishing pier. The food was average and not worth the price. For the money you can do a lot better at several other restaurants nearby.
