Pirate's Cove Restaurant

I haven't been here in over 10 years. I can't believe I haven't written a review. I made reservations for a party of 6 for an early dinner on a Saturday. They were pretty busy and to be honest, I don't remember even going in the back. There was so much room. They had a lot of birthdays being celebrated as well. Our server Melissa was wonderful. The food was delicious! All together, we ordered crab dip, steamed shrimp, the prime rib special, salmon with the speciality sauces, crabcake, and the kids hot dog with French fries. Everything was tasty and cooked perfectly. My mom thought the crabcake had a lot of filler and not enough lump crab meat but still yummy. "Great dinner.

Wanted to share an abysmal experience that we just had with Pirates Cove Restaurant. We went in and ordered a take out order. A salad, hushpuppies and some wings. We went on a Saturday around 11:30am and they weren't busy at all. They handed us a bag of food with the bag tied tightly. We took the bag and came home. When we got home the wing sauce was all over everything inside of the bag. We had the wrong salad, the hushpuppies had wing sauce on them, we didn't get the blackened chicken for the salad nor did we get the extra dressing we asked for. We called them to let them know and essentially the manager (Lauren) told us it was our responsibility to check the bag before leaving and that they post signs about that everywhere because once it leaves the restaurant they can't be sure we are telling the truth. I would expect something like this from a fast food restaurant, but not from a locally owned and operated restaurant like this. I had an extended conversation with her and not once did she even apologize for getting the order wrong and basically said there was nothing she could do. The amount of business they will lose from the handling of this is quite significant, and if I were the owner I would be livid. Zero attempt to even attempt to make it right. Basically it was OUR fault for not tearing open the tied up bag to check that they did their jobs correctly before we left. In this day and age of social media reach that was a REALLY bad business was decision Lauren. We will NEVER set foot back in there and will post far and wide about their admission that they can't do their jobs correctly so you have to always check behind them. And if you happen to miss their mistake. Too bad so sad. Absolutely atrocious customer service. #piratescoverestaurant

Great food. We had a large crowd, approximately 50-60 people. Everyone was treated great, service, timely and on point. The owner introduced himself John T. Super nice guy and very proud of his staff and the food and service they provide. He also spoke of the tremendous support he received from the locals continuing to come to the restaurant during the government shutdowns and mandates. He said the line was always long for take out and people were patient and supportive. Great place for nice sized portions of very tasty food. Well done.

The ambiance was a typical seafood pub feel. Hard wooden chairs and booth benches and decorations that give you a on the sea feeling. Nothing romantic, high quality or comfortable about their seating. The gnats were an awful nuisance and really bothering. Single person restrooms so don't wait until the last minute to go. Open view kitchen, you have the ability to see the difference dishes being served. I server Lauren our server was pleasant, that was to be expected knowing that servers work for tips. She was accommodating and attentive when at our table but nothing extraordinary about her service stood out to me. The food came out in a timely manner, not a very long wait for what we ordered. First came the salads in a slanted bowl so that your salad can easily spill out when you shuffle it to spread your dressing around. Typical house salad, premade and kept in a refrigerator. Next the calamari, beware that portion size does not match the cost. The calamari is flash fried so do not expect batter as most calamari is prepared. Absolutely nothing special about their calamari, not even the taste or marinara that came with it for dipping. The Mrs and I both ordered the seafood platter. At first I thought it was a wonderful idea when I saw the plate arrive at our table and then I realized my error when we were began to eat. Too much food, I highly recommend that this dish be shared between two light eaters! The food was delicious and my only complaint is that the hush puppies albeit delicious were cold upon arrival. Other than that the meal was quite tasty. So why just three stars? Four stars from me means everything about your restaurant was excellent and met my expectations, five stars means superior and exceeded my expectations. Three stars means the restaurant is worth your visit.

First, The sweetheart that answered the phone could not have been more helpful. The shrimp and crabcakes were perfectly cooked and delicious. However, the steaks were unseasoned and gray, the fat, not charred, just cold and lumpy. I guess we got yesterday's salad because the edges were brown. I phoned in an order for my roommate to pick up. We had originally wanted to get the prime rib Friday special. Whatever menu we were looking at did not say it was for "dine in only." So this might be helpful if you have a large group wanting to order today's special.The only thing that really turned me off was the sides. You would think if you're paying $180 for a family of four you would get fresh salad and a decent sized baked potato, especially up charging it with bacon bits, sour cream, and margarine. But no. Thinking this would be a treat for my under the weather family, at a good price was a mistake.

Could not have asked for a better dining experience - especially with the nautical flair. The restaurant was very accomodating to our last-minute family gathering. Overall, I think everyone was pretty happy with their and food. Also, we were pleasantly surprised at the speed by which our food came out. Finally, I was very impressed with our server and how she handled the large number or orders for our gathering. For my dining pleasure, I went with the build your combo (2 items) and had broiled flounder and grilled scallops. I thought the prices were pretty reasonable for the area. Also, the portions are pretty large, so you will not leave hungry.

Very good casual dining spot for seafood and more.Our server was very accommodating to my requests for extra cocktail sauce and other items like a roll.The scallops were bug and tasty, the flounder was also good sized and tasty. The server was straight up honest about the food, preparation, size and any other questions we and others asked.Hushpuppies were awesome, great crunch and nice soft insides with a touch of sweet I highly recommend this establishment if you don't want a fancy dining experience at a higher price. You get good food and service here at a fair price.

No meat on Friday. Mix this restaurant an absolute go to.. we had a pile of pollock and seafood platter. Both were excellent, especially dessert. A large portion enough for two.

If yall haven't tried Pirate's Cove Restaurant you definitely need to! Food was bomb! The oyster rock was hands down the best I've ever had, the she crab soup actually had chunks of crab meat and the crab cakes...no filler, enough said Oh and yall, the cornbread! The mf cornbread, deeeee best!!!

Food was tremendous. We had the crap dip appetizer and the fish Reuben sandwich and Sunday "fish fry" Pollock special. Our server, Ashley, was very attentive and helpful and the prices were reasonable for such good tasting and large portions.
