Would give zero stars. Didn’t even get to eat there… actually was never served. Accidentally sat ourselves in the bar area where wee thought was seat yourself. We were wrong! When I went back to hostess stand to ask about it, multiple ladies verified they saw us seat ourselves and did nothing about it. They thought us sitting there for 10 minutes unaware of our mistake was funny.. I was insulted and laughed at! They were rude rude rude!

Sorry I don’t have a better picture of my food because it was so good. I finished it atmosphere was great. The waitress was great overall everything was just great. I’m super glad I came right by the beach. Everyone was super friendly… it was a great time.

Not impressed with the flavor or food size. For a group of 3 adults and 2 kids you will need to get two appetizers coming out to 30$ just for the appetizers if you dont each person will only get a small handful. The crab was skinny and the meat from the burger had no flavor. It's like they expect the flavor to come just from the sauce. Everything we ordered we said the same thing lacking in flavor but they charge premium prices. 160$ for 5 people 2 of them being kids menu is pretty ridiculous. Id pay that for great flavor but we are not impressed.

Very nice place to eat with a great view of the beach.
Highly recommend the mahi tacos or shrimp tacos and the cheese sticks, onion rings ,fried pickles
This is one of our must goto spots when we visit pcb . The kiddos love the play area that’s on the side of the building/near the beach

First time to PCB saw a crazy line hanging out of this place at 7pm. When we swung back around about an hour later and we were greeted right away. We requested an outside table closest to the water and without hesitation we were obliged. There was live music and lots of good places to snap a picture for Instagram. Food was good. Our server Trey took great care of us. Right on the beach.
