Hurricane Hole Restaurant

I came with a group of about 15 people. Usually with a group this large the service can be hit or miss. And the food is generally blah because it puts a lot of strain on the kitchen all at once. Surprisingly, our experience was fantastic. The food was hot, fresh, and obviously cooked to order. We started with appetizers for the table and they were really delicious. Then, the waitress went around the table taking orders. I don't think any two of my party ordered the same thing. (I started to feel really bad for the line cooks.) However, to my surprise, each order came out in sequence, perfectly cooked. Now granted, this is a seafood-oriented restaurant. But a lot of folks in my party ordered turf dishes. There was a pork sandwich that was reviewed as really tasty. My friend who had the chicken said it was cooked perfectly and juicy. I had a cheeseburger and fries, delicious all the way around. Those in my party who had the sweet potato fries were particularly impressed with how tasty they were. On a personal note, the shrimp cakes (which are like crab cakes, but with shrimp) were fantastic. And the ahi tacos, while sumptuous, are a little bit of a challenge to eat without making a mess. Overall, I really like this restaurant. It's on the water, it offers inside or outside dining, the prices are reasonable, and the food is first rate. The restaurant was spotlessly clean and the staff went out of their way to make sure every person in my party left full and happy.Next time I'm on Grand Isle, I plan to take my wife here for date night. I hope to see you there.

Overall pretty good, not much selection for restaurants on the island so this was one of the better ones. My husband didn't like the crab cakes, a bit bland. Wedge salad was okay, they give a large chunk of iceberg lettuce to cut apart yourself. Server was nice and attentive. It was very busy for a Wednesday night, we sat outdoor and had a great view but the music was very loud and an interesting genre choice.

We stopped in on a Wednesday night. The place was pretty crowded with the music playing downstairs. I ordered the Shrimp Plater with was extremely salty but it was ok.4 of us went back again the following night. The waitress brought 3 side salads and 1 huge salad that we didn't order. Being nice, we decided to keep. I ordered the Rib Eye which was the fattiest steak I've ever had. Literally half the steak was fat! My brother in law ordered the fish dinner and specifically told the lady that he didn't want any sauce on it. They brought it out with the sauce. He told her that he didn't want it. They took it back but everyone else was already finished their food by the time he got his food. And the even got that order wrong, giving him sweet potato fries instead of mashed potatoes. I thought they would have offered a free drink from the bar or something to compensate for the long wait, but nothing.The last week of April, there's not a lot of places to eat down here so you are limited to what's available

Delicious food and amazing service! The restaurant is beautiful, neat, and clean. I definitely recommend this restaurant.

who ever the older blonde lady is that's a server needs to go. she single-handedly is one of the worst servers I have ever seen in my life. The food is pretty good, a little over price for what it is but if the service was on point, I wouldn't even care about it. The other server seemed like she was on her toes and tending to her tables quickly. We waited hours last time to even get our food. Came back again and try this place one more time and literally a meal for two that should've taken an hour turned into a 2 1/2 hour ordeal with me having to get off and asking at the cashier stand to pay for my meal, which then took another 15 minutes to figure out. Whoever that blonde older lady is that works there really needs to go find something else to do. It's dragging your business under. Multiple other tables got off with me as I went to pay because everyone was waiting for their checks. she was busy slamming things down and rolling silverware when multiple people had asked for checks and change and she could not bother her self to do simple things like close out tables. also, don't expect your food to get there anytime quick, it's over 45 minutes to get anything that we order drinks or food and even follow up drinks took another 45 minutes. Service is god-awful here. and I've been here multiple times. same thing every time. never coming back.

A lovely spot in Grand Isle to have a dinner outside. We sat on their deck overlooking the marina and enjoyed the atmosphere after spending a day on the beach. The famous ahi tacos were fabulous and we all enjoyed our dinners, although it ended up being more fried food than our liking. Our server was very friendly and attentive and we will absolutely be back if we ever get the chance to come to Grand Isle again.

We read all the other yelp reviews, they were so mixed. We decided to give it a try. So glad we did. Waitstaff was spot on!! She could not have been friendlier. The tuna tacos !!!! They were so delicious. Hubby got the fresh grilled shrimp plater and I had the grilled scallops. Both meals had amazing flavor. Husband loves spicy gumbo so he thought the gumbo needed a little more kick. Side salads did not use iceberg lettuce which is a huge plus in my book. We will definitely stop by again!!n

Service great, beer cold, fat wine pours, but the kitchen needs serious help. 'Grilled vegetables' had to be from a frozen Walmart bag. Fried seafood was fried about an hour too long and inedible salty. Food was real bad.

The waitress was wonderful and very sweet. We ordered the spinach and artichoke dip, it was fantastic. But the entrees were very unpleasant. The gumbo tasted like it had spoiled. Im pretty sure the ranch dressing was kraft. I ordered the drink special, I could not drink it. My husband ordered a grilled tuna steak, it was pan seared, literally pale white with no grill marks. This was our "give it another shot" visit. We tried, but won't be back. Again, the waitress and staff were wonderful. This has nothing to do with the service.

Some of the food is pretty good but the service is terrible. Very disappointed in my hurricane hole experience.
