Second visit to the st Pete pier. The Yucaton shrimp are amazing just wish they’d split them for easier eatingBIG PROBLEM though is they use Basa/ Swai fish for fish tacos/ sandwich as far as I know it’s farmed in the Mekong Delta in Vietnam (ie:agent orange) and is imported frozen. I asked as I’m allergic to that fishCan’t believe a chain as yours would stoop down to the level of serving this quality of fish and website says fresh local fish which isn’t true please change menu to say what you’re serving so people can make a choice. Better yet don’t serve this. Very few places doService was great and other foods were fine. Nothing exceptional, but wasn’t expecting ecxeptional

The staff were polite, efficient and friendly.The food was delicious. Portions are just perfect, not too big not too small.The Ford’s Famous Clam Chowder was DELICIOUS!They have different options for people who don’t want to eat fish. Prices vary depending on what you order.Plenty of parking available.We went on a Friday around 7:00pm and there was no waiting. Then returned on Sunday evening at 6:20pm and there was a 20-30 mins waiting.We sat down inside because some people complained about mosquitos outside.

Love this place, and it never disappoints. The Yucatan shrimp dish is awesome. The 1/2 pound size is more than enough to fill an adult.

The shrimp ceviche and Dunkins Vat steamed shrimp are awesome - would order both again! Interior a bit dark, but there's also porch and outdoor seating.

Delightful!Mostly retierees and young families today yet still had that Marina Bar vibe... Sports on the TVs, folks chatting about travel, weather and sports. I came for the grouper and was not dissapointed. Fresh and delishous!Highly recommend. Want to try their Yucatan Shrimp next time.

Wow!! We struck gold here!! The service was 200% amazing, food...(hey...Gordon Ramsay, this Chef would definitely please you!) Krystian was Manager, came table to table (impressive)! And Ayoub delighted us with recommendations and tips about Morocco (where we're visiting soon)...The food was one of the best meals we've ever had and we're world travelers 10 months a year ....Vegetarian options: They will make you happy!Parking: Plenty of parking when we visited in April

Unfortunately very Disappointed with Yucatan shrimp, they were in the shell, but not divined, full of waste to the point that it spoiled our appetite. Also, on the patio was no music, which created a dead atmosphere. The service was poor as well, no plates for sharing a meal, but we enjoyed fried grouper fingers.
