Had the BLT with hush puppies for lunch. The BLT was good, but the hush puppies I would not recommend go with fries or any of the other sides.

Was quite quiet here when we visited by boat. A unique setting to be able to do that, but it was just ok. Food was decent, with average size servings. Was again averagely priced. We were at the bar, it was hot (to be expected when outside) tables were a bit sticky. Just all a bit average unfortunately, was hoping for so much more. Maybe it’s better in the restaurant…

I would have scored higher if my dinner wasn’t awful. I ordered pasta with marinara sauce and chicken. The marina sauce tasted hot like a bowl of salsa and I was only able to eat a few pasta noodles and picked off the chicken. However, my wife got a salad with grilled tuna, we she said was delicious. Our waitress was polite and came by frequently, but was indifferent when I told her about the marina sauce and didn’t offer to have the manager come over or offer to discount the bill. When I asked for another glass of water, she pointed to the water cooler where I could get it myself. We enjoyed the open seating and the band was great. I will definitely get something else next time.

Unfortunately when you have to spend a minimum of $15 you’d like the food to be good at least. The crusted tuna was the best thing we had and I’d still give it a 2 out of 10. There was so much sauce on the plate that it drowned out the natural flavor of the tuna. Hush puppies were burnt, potatoes were dry, smoked tuna dip was pretty basic and not worth anymore then $10. And to top off the bland food, it took over an hour with an empty restaurant. Not worth the money especially being so close to the water. Find a better seafood place, don’t waste your time or money.

We love schooners! Beautiful views and good food. I love the Cuban and the key lime pie is amazing. The first time I visited was in 2016 and I will probably never miss a chance to go to schooners if I’m in the area.

The location is awesome! We sat inside for dinner. The food was average; nothing to rave about. Crab cakes and fish were a little bland. Beers are served in small plastic cups. If you sit inside by the windows expect to sweat as it was around 88 degrees. We weren’t sure if the AC was doing anything. The waitress spilt a drink on my spouse, hit and spilt another drink on the table and was forgetful after we requested some things. Stepping outside was a relief! The have ample space to grab some drinks and relax dockside. The small beach at the location is such a great feature to relax on or for the kids to play. Easy access to the docks for a quick walk to look at the boats. If you come by boat, there’s very limited area to dock on. Most spaces are paid club spots. All in all average experience. If I go back, it would be for some drinks and maybe appetizers outside!

I was greeted by a sweet young lady when I came in. She sat us right away. My server was great and food came out fast. I order the parm grouper it was very good. The view was beautiful. Will definitely be back!

Friendly staff that feels like family if you keep coming back. Food is yummy and drinks are cold. Kid- and dog-friendly outdoor space. Small beach where kids swim and paddle boarders launch. Killer sunsets, too.

I went with a fairly large group and we had quite a few errors with our food but the manager compensated us for it. I personally had the wings as an appetizer and the fish tacos for my meal and they were just okay. Some of the other ladies had food that was not edible. Our waitress was nice and our view was beautiful, especially at sunset.

Burger was very good and nice view of the marina. We ate in the restaurant, but the outdoor area (oyster bar) at the right time looks like a party!! Ha…the old sailor coming out!
