Pinchers

Stopped by Pinchers in Lakewood Ranch and everything hit the spot. The grilled fish sandwich was fresh and perfectly seasoned, the salmon came out juicy with a nice char, and the sides — green beans, fries, and slaw — were simple but tasty. Even the little fried bites for the table were fun to snack on. Casual, laid-back, and exactly what you want from a local seafood joint.

Highly recommend! We had dinner yesterday and will come again for sure. The Food was very delicious and our waitress Sam was super friendly and took the best care of us. We felt welcome and I love the style of this place :) Thank you for this nice dinner experience!

We had Sunday lunch at Pinchers, a seafood restaurant chain known for its fun decor and lively atmosphere, as well as a fresh seafood counter. The location is excellent, right on Lakewood Ranch Main Street. Overall, the food was good, but a couple of our dishes were a bit bland. The fish and chips and the calamari lacked flavor, while the sides, such as the mashed potatoes and green beans, were quite tasty. Everyone enjoyed the king crab legs, and my chopped salad was good too. They offer an extensive menu and a happy hour that features very good deals. The service was impressive; not only did our server check on us regularly, but the manager also stopped by to ensure everything was to our liking. Overall, it was an okay lunch. I would be interested in trying other dishes in the future.

The food is meh, at best. The service is pretty good, actually. The drinks are excellent. But if you're from Maryland, don't go there to get crabs. Or, if you just like seafood, don't go there to get seafood. Which is unfortunate, given that it's a crab house.

My husband and I went here and just loved the place! So much of a relaxed setting and down home feeling. The service was wonderful very friendly and on top of things, thank you Samantha. The food was excellent had oysters and were done to perfection. Would definitely recommend this restaurant to family and friends!! Will be visiting again.
