Customer Reviews
We had a wonderful dinner at the Frying Pan. The view was beautiful! As soon as we sat down, they brought out complimentary hush puppies (similar to bread service at other restaurants). They were a definite 5/5—so good that even I, as someone who doesn't typically like hush puppies, really enjoyed them. Our server was excellent (4.5/5). She was friendly, gave great recommendations when we asked, and was very attentive, keeping our drinks full and checking in often. The view from the restaurant was also beautiful. For our meals, I had the Safe Haven and the Molten Chocolate Cake, and both were outstanding (5/5). My dining partner had the Chopped BBQ, which also got a 5/5. We highly recommend this restaurant!
Visiting here and the reviews were welcoming enough to give this place a try. Friendly staff for the conditions that were going on, busy lots of customers and yet it was as warm inside as it was outside. Really felt bad for everyone working, with this kind of business you would think someone who run some climate control. At least if the unit is broken put out a sign or tell the staff to let customers know. If this is normal I wouldn’t return, an exhaust fan pulling air through or something is needed. As the food goes my blackened fish and shrimp were delicious, maybe put a note on the menu that the green beans have pork in them if I would’ve known that I wouldn’t have ordered them. My friend enjoyed her fried bay scallops, though her french fries were either overcooked or were the cheape
We popped into the Frying Pan with our dog today not realizing they didn’t have service for their deck. Staff went above and beyond, ensuring that we had drinks from the bar and carry-out service. They also piped outside music, even though we were the only ones enjoying the deck. We enjoyed a great lunch, and sparkling views on this beautiful, sunny day.
Would highly recommend this place for some delicious food! My wife and I visited and will def be back! We both got the blackened fish and shrimp and I would suggest it for sure. We also started with a shrimp cocktail, and loved that they give you an even number. Cocktail sauce had great flavor. Be sure and pay this place a visit. Friendly service and great views!
Waited an hour but it was well worth it. I got the flounder and my husband got the shrimp and fish. I am a picky seafood eater and the flounder was so good I didn't need any sauce with it. The red potatoes had this seasoning that was so good I wanted the recipe. The green beans were great too. Will be back.
