    This place is huge! While we waited for our table. We walked around the gift shop. The prices at the gift shop were way cheaper than the other shops in town. We were able to buy all our souvenirs here.

    Now, on to the food. I tried their tuna steak tacos. I couldn't stop talking about how good they were. The kids split a grilled chicken breast meal with a double-side of Mac 'n cheese and they devoured everything. My kids are very picky about Mac 'n cheese too. My wife ordered an fish sandwich, which was gigantic. I ended up eating half of it to help her out.

    Overall, the experience was amazing and one of the best places we hate on the island.

    We came here on the recommendation of someone at our hotel, and it was such a waste of time and money! We arrived at 6 on a Tuesday night and were told that it would be a 45-50 minute wait. Kind of crazy for a Tuesday, but okay. We should have left, but since we walked there, we figured we would stay and have a drink while we wandered around their gift shop. We waited an hour and were finally seated at a table, right next to a rope, behind which everyone else was waiting and staring at us. Not exactly the best ambiance. Since we have two small kids, we ordered immediately. However, the food still took another 45 minutes to come out, meaning we waited at least an hour and a half for our crappy food.

    When it finally came, the food was at least edible. I had the mahi sandwich, which was a tiny filet on a giant bun. It was mostly a bread and tartar sauce sandwich, but the fish tasted okay. But what made me angry were the kids' meals. My son had macaroni and cheese for, I believe, $7.49? It was barely half a cup of macaroni and cheese, some fries, and a fruit cup, in plastic packaging. There's no way that crap altogether cost more than $1.00. And it wasn't even enough food for my 3 year old, unless he wanted to eat a plate full of fries (which he didn't). $7.49 for that? The whole experience was insulting. I know it's a tourist trap and mostly I'm angry at myself for even going there. Never again!

    The atmosphere here is very fun and the waiters have always been great.
    The burgers are flame grilled and probably the best thing I've tried here. I ordered the First Mate which is 1/3 lb. But if that's not enough there's the Land Lubber coming in at a whopping 1/2 a pound.
    It did take a bit to get noticed and seated and it did take a good amount of time to get the order. But that may be due to the flame grilling and general steady flow of people.
    Overall, service was friendly and fun, and I would like to come check this place out at night.

    The place is about the epitome of eclectic!

    There is a gift shop up front with every kind of trinket, t shirt, pirate gear,  etc etc... that you could imagine.

    Then there is the bar area... a big peninsula of a bar with plenty of seating, and tables off behind it.

    Lastly there is a small entry way to the main restaurant.... Lots of seating and more of an actual dinning area.

    Our group was on vacation so we chose the bar!

    The bartender was great... she made up virgin drinks for all the kids, took our drink order, took our apps order, took our drink order again...and then made up the clam shell Mac daddy of rum and juices. It was a huge drink and for all the stuff that was poured in there it was naughty, but tasty too!

    We had some aps as well... cheese sticks, French fries, calamari, and so on.. it was all ok... not stellar, but not bad...

    However the winner winner was the alcohol dinner!! And the bartender! What a fantastic happy place! The people made it all worth while... cheery, helpful, and accommodating!

    The place is decked out in all kinda of STUFF. Pirates, skeletons, fish, etc etc... but it is awesome fun! You could create a major scavenger hunt in here!

    We all seriously enjoyed it!!
