Pompano Joe's

"For starters, you can't beat the view. The length of the building runs parallel with the beach. A you approach from the parking lot, you're greeted with an outdoor bar. We ordered two margaritas while we waited fort our seats, about a 20 minute wait on a Tuesday at 4:30. We just missed happy hour, this two margaritas were $27 in a 12 ounce cap. A 32 ounce margarita "bucket" is only $23. The menu is very large. The fried shrimp are on the large size and vertical tasty. We also ordered there coconut shrimp dinner, same sized shrimp but there was just a slight hint of coconut. Overall the food was above average. Our server was real good and attentive. The margaritas were average for flavor and poor pours. There's a narrow catwalk outside of the main dining room and about 10 picnic tables on the beach. The main dining room is huge. I'd definitely return for food and beer."

"A classic. Great food, right on the beach. Service is very friendly and relatively quick. It is PRICEY (~$40 for most main entrees) but that's to be expected given the location and crowd levels. We've eaten here probably a couple dozen times to date. The blackened fish is really good (grouper and snapper specifically) and the beans and rice are great, with a healthy dose of latent heat. I appreciate that the (very mid) vegetables they used to force-include with entrees in years past are now subbed for a side of your choice (we went healthy and got fries). Kids meals are inoffensive but nothing extraordinary. The drinks are always heavy pour it seems, with plenty of rum/tequila in many, but also relatively tasty nonetheless. Wife ordered the Berry Blast and I got PJ's Punch (which definitely packs a punch). The atmosphere is where it's at; literally open air seating in an old wooden lodge overlooking the waves. It's sublime. You're paying for this — location, location, location."
