Surf Rider Birdneck

They opened Friday at 5 pm. I was there shortly after that to check it out. They did a nice job inside and made some changes. They added carpet to the dining areas and there is a wall now in front of the kitchen. There is also a wall in the bar area with more seating behind it. They also took out the garage doors. By the time I left, it was definitely getting busy!!! We had great service from Bailey. She was excellent!!!! They had a full staff for opening night. My drinks were fine - there is no HH so a well drink was around $6. We ended up trying the tuna bites. Ehhh.....I wasn't impressed with the presentation and they came with a plastic thing of ranch dressing and a limp piece of kale. They were ok....I have definitely had better. I do want to go back and try something else - they have several successful restaurants so they are doing something right.

Delicious! I called in an order for take out, not only was the order was ready when I got there, it was correct! I didn't have to ask for a thing. The bartender who took my order over the phone was pleasant and professional. The food was delicious, I recommend the crab cake!

Good: she crab soup, flounder, scallops, rum runnerBad: corn pudding, fish tacosService: out of many thingsambiance: ok

This is my second review for Surf Rider. We sat at the bar and ordered appetizers from their football menu. Everything was made with care and delicious! Our bartender was attentive, friendly, and made sure everything was perfect. Surf Rider is a great addition to the beach area!

Amazing food for football! Sweet and spicy wings, tuna nachos, and 1 pound of steamed shrimp was enjoyed as we watched the game. Great prices for drinks and food. Excellent service at the bar. A great local place with specials throughout the week. Can't wait to go back!

Please watch what you eat from here. My wife and son ate soft-shell crab from here. Both are now severely sick and have to go to the ER because of it.UPDATE: I now have food poisoning too, this means that two separate soft-shell crabs just made my whole family bedridden.

Had dinner for the first time tonight at the "new" Surfrider on Birdneck Road.Service - Took about 10 minutes for the wait staff to realize we were seated. Miscommunication with hostess? Once we got the waitress' attention while cleaning the table next to us (still offered to help) we were all set. Service was good.Ambiance - I'll need to spend more time to offer a fair response.Food - Softshell crabs were excellent; good wine and food werereasonably priced. Fried shrimp were good. Wedge Salads were very good.The only question came when we left and I thought I'd let the wait staff that the food was excellent except....for when we ordered the broccoli the accompanying hollandaise sauce had very metallic taste (as if from a can) needed to be replaced. The 4 of them (end of the evening so the dining room was empty) looked at me as though I was from another planet. Just disappointing blank stares instead of asking any questions ... I thought I was offering a helpful suggestion. The message probably never reached Management which is the reason for this. I live nearby and really want to have another good Seafood Restaurant option and for the SR to be successful.

I've visited this place three times since it opened. very convenient but do not sit at the bar to eat dinner. the bartender on two occasions has charged me for drinks I did not get. unfortunately when I tried to talk to the owner he was already three drinks in to tall and not overly concerned about this illegal behavior. Be carefu,
