I recently visited Pirates Cove and unfortunately had a less than satisfactory experience. While the atmosphere and theme of the place were appealing, the service and overall dining experience left much to be desired.

Even though it took a little bit for service, the place was PACKED, so we understood completely! Once waited on, service was swift and phenomenal! Order the oysters on the half and they were good for bigger oysters and the price! But the start of the show for us was the mac n cheese! So good, chicken was out of this world juicy and shrimp was just as good! HIGHLY recommend for a great meal in a neat laid back atmosphere!

The set up is really weird. I get that they’re going for “on the water” but a little signage would go a long way. My friend and I hadn’t been there before and both got turned around finding the parking lot and the restaurant after we were parked. Basically, you just keep walking past everything you think might be a restaurant and end up on a boat.

We loved this restaurant. The vibe is awesome. Jimmy buffet songs kept going thru my mind. Truly has key west vibe. The staff was so kind and pleasant. They represent the company well. Food was delicious!! Large menu difficult to pick what you wanted. Had so much fun today and the boats were cool too. Can’t recommend highly enough!

It’s a fun place with a beach party atmosphere. (I noticed four different birthday celebrations during our lunch.) Sit at tables in the sand festooned with neon signs and colored lights at the center of the restaurant, or sit on the surrounding dock and watch the boats. The food, served in paper and plastic, was much better than expected.

Played music here! Great place, friendly crowd and overall good time. Loading in and out is a bit crazy as a performer there though! Especially when the staff gets tired of waiting for you to finish, so they leave and turn all of the lights off, and you get to haul your last trip of band gear out in total darkness…

Great place to enjoy laid-back open air seating on the marina. You can pull up your boat and relax. Good food options and plenty of beverages too. On some evenings there can be live music and the crowd is more lively. I don’t believe they are open year round, so check when the season is open.

Shelly (spelling & name?) and Alice both helped my friend in a walker go up the back way to avoid the stairs! Food was tasty I had the fajita wrap, my friend had the po’boy and loved it. Atmosphere with Live music great breeze from ceiling fans, air right on the water with a view of the river, no complaints! They were very busy on a Sunday at 3:30pm.
