★★★★★ 5.0 Katelyn Hartley · Aug 2025

This place is phenomenal. This was the best restaurant we ate at. The food was amazingggg, and the staff were very attentive and very kind. I don’t think we had a dirty dish on our table for more than 2 seconds and my drink was never empty. It’s hard to find a restaurant that has good food AND good service but this place has it down pat. Never seen the whole staff at a restaurant work so well together. We also loved the overall vibe inside and outside the restaurant. We will be back!!

★★★★☆ 4.0 Adria Meyer · Jun 2025

The restaurant has always overly crowded and hot inside when I’ve been, but the food is typical beach restaurant fare with normal tourist-area prices, and I don’t have any complaints about the food or service. My parents like the blackened shrimp appetizer a lot, and I liked their fried shrimp. The calamari is also good, as is the drink selection. I would just prefer to order it to go because of how crowded it can get.

Great restaurant! Food was excellent. Staff was incredible. Will definitely visit again on our next trip. Try the quesadilla with shrimp under appetizers and the blueberry cheesecake. They were outstanding!

Our first time at this Snapperz and had a fantastic experience. Bethany, our server was wonderful. Friendly, chipper, smiling and very attentive. She was quick on the refills and made defeat suggestions. I’m looking forward to coming back. My two friends and I all thought the appetizers, the meals and the desserts were very good and the portion size was good for the price.

Local restaurant with true southern and beach vibes! The staff and service were outstanding, and the food was equally as good. It's almost a Cheers feeling where everyone that comes in are friendly, social, and feels as if you have known them for a long time. We had the seafood dip, Bib Marley flounder sandwich, and the shrimp.and grits. I highly recommend the shrimp and grits. We happened in Taco Tuesday, and the selection of tacos from fish to chicken looked really good. Get into this place for a delightful evening, with great food, and have Tequila Shelia whip you up a great drink of cold beer.
