HAPPY SNAPPER SEAFOOD RESTAURANT

Wow! This place is incredible! There were 6 of us and we all got something different and each dish was phenomenal. We had chicken wings, clam chowder, snapper, salmon, scallops, shrimp, oysters, lobster tail, fried rice and quesadillas! My son is an extremely picky eater and he ate a lot and exclaimed how good everything was. If you’re local or visiting… Don’t pass this place up- stop here!

I recently visited Happy Snapper Seafood Restaurant with my kids after being enticed by the positive Google reviews and appealing photos. However, my overall experience fell short of expectations. I had high hopes for a fresh and enjoyable seafood meal, but unfortunately, there were a significant drawbacks. We decided to order a variety of dishes to share, including Calamari, Fish & Chips, and Blackened Salmon with Broccoli and corn on the cob. While the Fish & Chips and Calamari were satisfactory, the Blackened Salmon was a letdown. The salmon was overcooked, rendering some of the end portions too tough to eat or even cut. This was a huge disappointment, as we were looking forward to savoring tender and succulent salmon. Furthermore, the restaurant's ambiance could use improvement. It felt a bit dull and lacked the lively atmosphere that one would expect from a seafood establishment. To enhance the seafood vibe, it would be great if they brightened up the space and played Island or Caribbean music, adding a touch of vibrancy to the dining experience. On a positive note, the trivia loop playing on the TV screens provided some entertainment, and the Coleslaw served was quite good. However, considering the overall experience, the lackluster ambiance, coupled with the disappointment of the overcooked salmon, made me question the value for money, specially when I brought it up to the server. Who replied this happened recently to someone else and that was it. No let us make it up to you on your next visit or and real concern to address it so it doesn’t happen to someone else. In conclusion, my visit to Happy Snapper Seafood Restaurant did not live up to the positive reviews and enticing photos. While there were a few highlights, such as the Fish & Chips and Calamari, the overcooked salmon and lackluster ambiance overshadowed the positives. I believe there is room for improvement in terms of food quality, ambiance, and customer service.

Worth the 45 min drive, yup we drove 45 mins for the fried snapper. We recently visited Mexico and had fried whole snapper and anytime we get this dish outside of the states it always hits, but back home it's never the same. FINALLY we found a spot! Happy Snapper Seafood HITS, from the small family owned feel to the fresh seafood to the service. Definitely find the time and GET THE SNAPPER!

I don't know if they lost some cooks due to better opportunities but many this place is awful. Firstly, it took more than 40 minutes to get my appetizers and another 20 for food. The food it self was not great at all, it was so bad I just asked for to go box five minutes into eating it. I paid full price + tip($125) because I don't believe in handouts and I post only genuine content. I literally left the place hungry after wasting 1 hour plus of my time, to find another restaurant to eat!! Overall the experience was horrible, the only plus is the prices was very competitive compared to similar food in the area. I definitely do not recommend this establishment in the near future.

WOW. This place was wonderful!! The place is very small and unassuming. The staff was impressively pleasant, helpful, and attentive. The food was amazing. We're not from FL but we've bookmarked this place because we are absolutely going back. Kudos to the cook/chef(s) because they are beyond talented. I started with the crab cake and crab bisque because I couldn't decide. Both great choices and I could've stopped there... But I didn't. I also had the scallops and dill yucca. Those were THE best scallops I've ever had. Perfectly cooked and, apparently, reheated well when my husband had some leftovers for breakfast the next day. Husband started with the calamari and then steamed shrimp, lobster tail, and scallops for his main course. He was also a very happy camper. Highly recommend.
