Kitty Carlisle My family treated me to dinner at Emerald Isle Seafood during my visit to FL from AZ and I was very impressed. The atmosphere was welcoming, with the walls decorated in an oceanic theme and the background music the perfect volume (low enough for patrons to easily converse, while loud enough to enjoy the classic/popular selection). The staff were not only extremely friendly and professional, our waitress in particular was accommodating by offering helpful suggestions to alternative dishes so I could adhere to my restrictive diet. Her memory was sharp as our group of 5 made changes as we ordered and as we eventually even added food to go (tuna dip for more out of town guests arriving the next day and frozen alligator tail to cook at a later date). I was pleasantly surprised when she produced a gluten-free and dairy-free menu that detailed which foods were compliant and which could be prepared in such a way as to not adversely affect those with dietary allergies or sensitivities. Of particular note was the delicious food: prepared to perfection and in generous portions. The creamy, Smoked Tuna Dip was flavorful (and rapidly consumed), and the Surf and Surf (shrimp and snow crab legs) was specially prepared without spices for me and was still absolutely mouth watering. And the Buffalo Chicken Tender PoBoy, Mahi-Mahi Orleans, Chicken Strip Sandwich with Texas toast were all eaten with gusto. This dinner was a highlight of my visit so far and plans were made to return for both lunch and dinner in the future. I highly recommend this little gem of a restaurant and look forward to coming back the next time Im in the area.

Ra Jackson I just left this location and the person who taking the order talk like she don’t want to be at work today and when we get the the window to pay I seen here shaking the computer and don’t tell you about the deals when you pull up she said that I had to tell her. So when I get to the window my food is 32.92 I just got the same food like 2 days ago and it was 24 Dollars.. All I’m saying is the person who taking your order need to feel good about her day and she did not.

Emily G Food is AWESOME! Such good flavors, the garlic chicken and teriyaki chicken are my faves. Caden is SO kind; he literally checks on you and you can feel the genuineness in his approach. I so appreciate that. There is an outside area with a playground that makes this eating experience so much better, especially if you have kids. The Hawaiian sodas are good too. My favorite Pounders location!

Tim Hemp The best sandwich on the planet earth perfectly prepared- The Clubhouse Grill. Perfectly prepared with extra Swiss. The best onion rings I have had in a long time. And the service by Shani G was also perfect. AND they serve PEPSI instead of Coke! What more could one ask?!

Angela Estrada The service was good. Our server from Guatemala was especially friendly and did a good job. The food came out quickly. The portions were generous and prices fair. We ordered a decent variety of entrees. Quesadilla was stuffed full of chicken and came with a generous portion of rice and beans. Chicken fajitas were flavorful and had plenty of food, two of us could have shared one serving. We are kind of picky with Mexican food, being originally from South Texas where we got fresh tortillas at every restaurant. This place wasnt quite what we miss from the Texas restaurants, but the food was pretty good and we would return. The restaurant was clean and we got seated right away. The only negative part was that the child in the booth behind us kept kicking the wall and made it very annoying and uncomfortable for our kids to eat their dinner. Otherwise, we like the place and will likely try another location in the area.

Joel Harrison I got the lobster bread app, the NY strip & baby back ribs combo and finished it off with the cheese cake. Everything was great but I must say the Ribs were outstanding. I sat at the bar and don’t remember the young man’s name who waited on me but he suggested I try the ribs without any bbq sauce first. Great suggestion they were amazing. The cheese cake was very creamy and great taste. It was a huge meal and I got a to go box and everything was still excellent the next day.
