Permanently closed. Was horrible. No way could they compete with the much better UpperDeck Restaurant across the river.

Hate to give this place a raving review, would rather keep it a secret! We go here for the shrimp special so I can't honestly review their other dishes (although the plates being served to other patrons also look tasty) but the shrimp is AMAZING! The live music is usually pretty decent, interactive, and fun, not too loud that you can't still have conversation though.(Bring cash for tip) Staff always friendly and engaging without being too much in your face. If you don't leave full, uplifted, with a smile on your face, it's not PK's fault!Outside eating is also pet friendly!

This restaurant is permanently closed. There is a sign on the door that says they owe $17,000 in back rent and fees. Too bad as we enjoyed this place.

Terrible service! Slow and zero menu options. Waited forever for drinks. Then we got no refills. The family next to us was up every few min. servicing themselves. Bugs in our ranch dressing. We left without eating. Will never come come back here again!

Came here for the first time tonight after trying to go to Bayport Inn for crab legs they were out we called here they had them so we headed over waited over 10 min for someone to even take our drink order then our waitress came over 5 min after that and said oh yea she never got your drinks. What are you drinking? We ordered our food waited another hour before my side salad came which was wrong had tomatoes all over it and no cheese she took it back picked the tomatoes off as there was still tomato juice all over the lettuce and brought it back with some frozen cheese on the top I was so hungry I was still going to eat it until I noticed a bug sitting right on top of my ranch dressing that was the last straw for me and my family we got up and walked out! They need to hire more waitresses if they can't handle the tables that are being sat. I saw one table getting up and getting there own refills and sauces as there were no waitresses even walking around. Very poor service. Will not be back!

We stopped in for lunch after a long morning house-hunting. This is a dinerish type place, tables and booths, a nautical decor. The food was all DELICIOUS!!! Hubs ordered three appetizers to sample the goods: half a dozen wings, scallops and...yep... clam chowder :-) Wings: Good, he ordered mild and they had enough bite to be almost hot, flavor and size were good. Scallops: Excellent! They have a great sauce and were served on some fresh greens. Clam chowder: Good, creamy, thick enough. Not as good as some but good. I ordered drunken mussels. They were very good, came in a light flavorful broth with a few veggies and topped with a little fresh cilantro. Also two slices of very good bread for soaking up the broth. The whole dish was really good. I ordered it with the pasta but the pasta was really unnecessary. All in all, a great meal in a neat little place, would absolutely go back! So this is an update: we came back, DELICIOUS DINNER!! This place is really great, so laid back and relaxing. We like it here.

This place has a smaller menu, but lots of seafood choices that are excellent. This is a great place for drinks and grub after a long day on the water. It's cheap and quick, indoor/outdoor seating which is awesome. Definitely would recommend you try this place!
We arrived expecting some good seafood and a nice evening amongst good friends. Instead we received a borderline meal. The Drunken Mussels were good as well as the fried oysters. The steamed shrimp were tasteless and cold. Very disappointing. B cause of the previous reviews. To make matters worse they had a musician playing named Timmy "C" and he was an arrogant unfunny man. He was making fun at a patron and Timmy "C"was just plain rude. I would suggest if this person is the entertainment look elsewhere. He ruined our meal as well as the other people who he harassed.

Good food, casual atmosphere, friendly staff. Prices are reasonable. The steamed seafood platter for two was great.

Shrimp are delicious. I keep wanting to try something else each time I go but still keep ordering the pound of Shrimp. Service? Lady named Rachael has been our server most of the time and ya just cant ask for better service. Husbands have finally found a place that there is never a question about when we ask the wife if she wants to go get something to eat. This IS the spot!

We've been twice. Both times, the steamed shrimp & fried fish were excellent, while the crawfish boil was overcooked, chewy, & almost freezer-burned. Our server both times (I forget her name, but she was an energetic older lady) was awesome. THEN I saw them listed as one of the dirtiest restaurants of the week in the Tampa Bay Times, so I reviewed the Health Dept reports and decided we won't be going back. The prices are super reasonable; I guess you get what you pay for. What a shame.

Started off strong to end extremely disappointed. We come canoeing all the time but usually we just pack our lunch and don't stop anywhere to eat. This trip we were celebrating my birthday so we stayed the night and searched to find the best local seafood. I love mom-and-pop restaurants so when we came across shipwreck I was excited to go. The restaurant is cute and you feel like you're inside a ship. Everything is very reasonably priced and the service started off great. My fiancé got steak and shrimp and it was tasty, I got a pound of crab legs! Which was two claws with about 5 legs on each. Exactly what I expected. Everything tasted fresh, I ate my first set of legs and moved on to my second. I had two of the 5 legs on the second barely breathing as I was in heaven eating my favorite food. I got to leg number three and there was a little black spot on the leg and when I cracked it open it was on the meat of the crab. It looked like it was rotten. Third leg had huge black spot on the leg and meat also. It was digusting looking so I stopped eating and asked my server Chris . He looked at in awe and said I have no idea. Took it to ask the manager I'm assuming! She looked at also then showed the kitchen . They passed my plate around as they all looked in awe at this mystery black rotten looking spot on the crab. Chris comes back and says everyone thinks it was burnt but I don't really know, sorry! That's it! Manger never came over. No one offer to replace it or give me something else. When there is only 5 legs on a claw two of them being uneatable we were extremely shocked no effort was made to take care of the problem. It was a very disappointing end. I would say overall the restaurant is a awesome little Mom and pops to get seafood but after the way the manger chose to handle our issue, we won't be back!
