We stopped for lunch and Chris our server was awesome! He recommended a great local beer compared to another one they didn't have and nailed it! The gator bites were so fresh and while we didn't order the Fish n Chips we saw a ton being served and they were the biggest I have ever seen! Sitting on the water and watching the Pelicans float around and the boats come on and out just made our day! We will be back!!

Best clam chowder creamy delicious good portion of clams. 10/10Really enjoyed the grouper sandwich i ordered it fried. The batter was perfect. I got it with a side if baked potato with butter and sour cream. Absolutely recommend. My friend enjoyed her blackened grouper sandwich with fries too. We also tried some cocktails. Bahamas mama and margaritas. They were both good. If you are on vacation get the souvenir cup. We decided to sit on the first level deck great view of the water and pirate ship disembarking. Excellent service. Our waiter made sure we had everything we wanted.

Located in John's Pass, this tourist spot was recommended by a friend of mine. Wanting fresh seafood, we decided to try this place. While it appeared busy at first glance, we were told it would be approximately a 20 min wait for two; however, it was around 10 min and upon being seated it really wasn't that busy (must be staffing issues).We were promptly greeted by our server Aubree whom was very friendly and delightful. We started off with a cup of their fresh New England clam chowder (yum!) followed by our main entrees: I ordered the captain's platter which included scallops, grouper (skinless filet), and tail on shrimp, cooked in any one of the following styles: blackened, fried, or broiled (I opted for broiled) along with a side of your choice and includes a small salad. The seafood was fresh, tasty, and light! I opted for a baked potato as my side and it also came with a small serving of rice. My friend had the fried scallops which he said were good but a tad disappointed as he felt they were just lightly breaded and not deep fried (the breading came off loosely).Ambience felt like you were on a dock (enclosed of course) or on a giant fishing boat with a view of the ocean and pier. Overall, an excellent meal and not bad pricing to boot!

Another day in paradise, beach vibes and good times. Wife and I got lucky got here early on a wonderful cool Florida January. We were attended quickly and soon had drinks on our table. Loved that it is pet friendly and brought our doggie a water bowl. We ordered their famous clam chowder and wow! Delicious, hearty fresh tasting clam pieces and chowder goodness. We shared the captain's platter fried. Well sized fillet of grouper fresh tasting like it was caught that morning. Shrimps and the scallops complimented the fish well. Oh the corn fritter were a sweet surprise. Great little perks of living on this part of Florida.

The Friendly Fisherman is 5 stars from the waterfront view, the friendly staff, & the fresh seafood. We had the fried grouper sandwich & the amazing clam chowder. If you like clam chowder it's a must have.
