Bidrage med feedbackWent here last week with my family. View was great and fish seemed fresh. The waitress was nice. That's why I have 2 stars. The issues are, 1, the portions. My husband and dad got the shrimp sandwich. There were only 4 small shrimp... a huge roll and 4 small shrimp. The fish sandwiches my mom and I got were OK. A bit bland. My daughter's burger was ok. Issue 2, the price. That place is crazy expensive for the meal we were served. Issue 3, the place was felt like a refrigerator inside. Another customer likened it to a meat locker. She was not wrong. We were FREEZING. I had to get a sweatshirt from the car and I was still freezing. Our food was cold by the time it made it out to our table, not because I feel that it sat around for too long. But, because it was so cold. We couldn't get out of there fast enough. We definitely won't be going back. Completely underwhelming experience, with a side of hypothermia.
Very cool place. Food is good. Definitely the old Florida vibe. They had live music when we were there. I had the Cobia and it was delicious.
And my Google review will be this: ?Nicks Seafood Restaurant? Freeport, Fl. Just dropped Ben off at the VPS airport. He?s going to be in Chicago for over a week. Andy and I are taking the other way back home, avoiding 98 Destin traffic?. We were both hungry and Andy kept complaining. Here we are in Freeport?. We?re at a very southern diner/bar with a very Alabama feel? The type where severs have heavy southern accents ?. A place where everyone in the bar stops and stares and wonders who you are, and why you?re even there. A place that feels like a scene from the movie ?Sweet Home Alabama? ?.A far cry from where Ben is heading back; home. Is this risky? Not sure. Are the gator bites good here? Are the hush puppies? We?ll see?. But here we are. How can this be so close to the tourism? The shining lights of Baytown Warf? The magazine worthy spots of Seaside and Aly?s Beach? Yet, here I am. And I?m concluding that ive just had the best Hush Puppies I?ve ever had? the most flaky, fresh, hot fish sandwich with a perfectly toasted bun which was paired with that kind of tarter sauce you?d want. Would Gordon Ramsay be upset? No. Because this is the kind of place you find on the show ?Diners, Drive-Ins Dives? with Guy Fieri?. At least that?s my experience so far. You don?t get this kind of fresh fish in the suburbs of Chicago. You WILL get a pizza made correctly, and you will also get the perfect hotdog with no ketchup. But you won?t get the view of the bay water, or the view of the several pigs wondering outside the windows like we are now. Call me crazy, but just like Anthony Bourdain, I appreciate every wild dive and adventure ?? He once wisely advised us, ?Eat at a local restaurant tonight. Get the cream sauce. Have a cold pint at 4 o'clock in a mostly empty bar. Go somewhere you've never been?? ?and THAT is what we do. ????
This place is cool! Not much signage, just genuine! Service was friendly and appreciated! I would come back and recommend.
The tuna dip was awesome. We had fish and shrimp tocos for early dinner tonight and we enjoyed the rainy afternoon just relaxing and and eating great food. This place has been here since 1963 Same block building and hospitality.
