Walk in here on a Saturday night with my buddy. The place is practically dead, which isn't always a good sign but we proceed anyways. We check the menu and the appetizers are all basically the same price for a small portion...$6.99. Fair enough I guess but you'd expect them to vary a bit by item like the breaded fried mushrooms compared to say the 1/2 dozen oysters.
My friend gets a chicken tender basket ($6.99) which comes with coleslaw and fries, and I choose the fish and chips ($7.99). My fish were some decent fried pieces of cod...nothing to write home about and the "chips" were just the regular french fries, not steak fries. Now my friend's chicken tenders (3-4 of them I think) looked like they came straight out of a Tyson bag and according to him didn't taste homemade at all. Luckily we had a coupon which made his meal free.
The waitress was attentive and friendly but other than that, we'll probably stick to the Landlubbers closer to us in Plantation (which is pretty damn good)
My neighbor raved about this place so I put it on my list of places to try. Â
Wow, were we disappointed!  Ordered a pint on draft and it was good but the bottles in my refrigerator are colder than what I was served. I wanted a dozen oysters or clams but upon asking I found out that both are farm raised.  The clam chowder was thick, pasty with too much flour and tasted more like cream of mushroom soup than anything else.  I would venture as far as saying that something out of a can might taste better.  On to main courses, the Chicken Phillie sandwhich was good with chunks of chicken breast, grilled mushrooms and onions with mozzarella cheese on top.  The only problem was that the chicken was rubbery and overall it was lacking in flavor.  Doesn't the cook have a spice rack?  The fries were ok but the cole slaw was not worth eating more than one bite.  The lobster Po Boy was where I hung my hopes for something in the five star range but sadly enough it too was a let down.  It came  on a cold boring white sub roll. It had luke warm bites of breaded and fried lobster that looked like something out of a bag from the freezer.  Thankfully there was lettuce and tomato but the thousand island dressing all over the top ruined it.  I could not even get a hint of lobster flavor.  Our waitress never came to ask how our food was or if we needed anything.  Finally I asked the other waitress if I I could get some lemon and have my sweet potato heated up.  They did bring lemons quickly but the potato being nuked another 30 seconds didn't help.  The butter just sat there in a lump asking me where it should go now.  The sweet potato minus the butter and still barely warm was my meal.  I should be happy that I didn't overeat.  I will not return as a raw bar should sell wild caught if they are going to be the real deal and the service was less than adequate!
We live close and have had very mixed feeling about this place. Â Never get the chips and salsa as an appetizer. Â The wing are good but tonight we waited 30 minutes for 9 wings when we ordered 10. Â They are .29 because of the 19th anniversary. Â
4 star for wings flavor
5 star for wing price during january
1 star for cooking time
-1 for 9 wings
4 stars for server. Â Pretty blonde and friendly
2.5 stars. Â But I will round up
I tried this place for the first time and I will definitely eat there again. Â The oysters were excellent and the fried catfish was awesome. Â The wings were ok although I would have liked more drumsticks. Â The entrees come with two sides and they give you a pretty decent size portion. Â However, the only thing I didn't like was that they upcharge you for every little thing. Â I wanted to substitute the fries and cole slaw for a baked potato and corn and they charged me extra for these items. Â i kind of think that simply substituting sides shouldn't cost extra but this is just a minor inconvenience. Â My waitress was really great and she even made time to talk to me and tell me more about the restaurant and the area itself. Â They have a pretty good menu and the atmosphere is kind of dive barish but kind of not. Â It's definitely worth a try!
Review Source:Guess a bad meal is bound to happen as one reviewer didn't like it but:
This is not a dive bar. It is a raw bar  with a seafaring theme. It is a family restaurant with a separate bar/lounge next door.
As with all restaurants struggling with the economy, thre are few hotspots anymore. Not being a hotspot has no bearing on food quality.
I have been eating or taking out here frequently since 1998. It is close by my house and the wings are a weekly favorite treat.
The babyback ribs are very good and the steamers, clam chowder and crab legs are as good as anywhere.
This used to be an Oakland  Raiders clubhouse but I hear it no longer is. I'm not sure why. Economy again I guess.
The wait staff is always friendly.
I would recomend Landlubbers to anyone.
The five stars are not to make you think  it is a 5-star resaurant but i is a top raw bar in it's class.
I'd live to see the location on the water though like Souhport, it just makes the theme more realistic.
Landlubber's,
What can I say about Landlubber's? I'm giving it 4 stars because I haven't tried their oysters yet because of right now, oysters aren't in season.
Anyways, locals say it used to be the spot for wings. I can't imagine how delicious they used to be if they're delicious now. I've visited here twice. On both occasions I've ordered the wings hot with garlic. I love love love love that they drench them in hot sauce. They're a little too crispy but I don't mind, even though, I do prefer my wings "breaded". Anyhoot, on to the conch fritters, I don't know if they're made in the house or if they're pre-packaged but they are delicious! And their corn fritters are definitely something new to my taste buds!
This place use to be the spot for wings and sports bar food, use to be. It seems it has lost it's mojo, and turned into a seedy/greasy dive joint. The wings aren't top notch anymore, the fish isn't that fresh, and most of the food is mediocre. Service is definitely bland for some of the prices they charge ( 11$ for a dolphin sandwich). The food seems to have lost its edge in the competitive market of sports bars. Unless they make some big changes I won't be going back anytime soon.
