Our waiter was great! I had the blackened mahi mahi with the mashed potatoes and it was delicious!

We were a party of six and two liked the food. They have a GF menu but I got sick after eating there.

No

It was great to know that pinchers had a GF menu however besides ribs and salad it was all seafood. Makes sense because it’s a seafood place but a few more options would have been nice. My server was not educated on food allergies but I appreciated that she checked with the kitchen several times. I had the crab legs and they were great with a side salad that was just ok. You can tell it’s a busy well loved place but they could use a deep cleaning.

Had the broiled Mahi Mahi with a salad that was decent. Nice view if you sit by the window - several boats and Pelicans go by.

Beautiful location on second floor overlooking Caloosahatchee River provides stunning views. Open air dining available at outdoor tables under roof (very safe for COVID) or indoors. Separate GF menu offers many choices. My favorite is peel-and-eat shrimp available hot or cold. Location is adjacent to Edison & Ford Winter Estates with easy access and entrance purchase available. Everyone always enjoys the food (both GF or regular). I have eaten here often and have never had any problems.

The manager took time to meet with us and discuss what foods were safe from cross contamination and she advised the kitchen so that they would take extra precautions when handling my daughter’s plate of food.

The food was delicious and the the portions were perfect. The manager asked what my daughter liked to eat & made recommendations safe for celiacs that would taste similar. She ordered what the manager recommended & loved the meal she got. She got steamed rock shrimp with garlic mashed potatoes and applesauce; sauce for the shrimp was on the side per the recommendation.

I communicated with the restaurant beforehand since there were no recent gf reviews & they were extremely helpful. I was given a manager’s name to ask for and she was abundantly knowledgeable and helpful. Food was delicious and staff was great.

Gluten Free menu. Knowledgeable staff. They really know how to prepare fresh seafood that is safe for a Celiac. Everything is fresh, well seasoned, cooked to perfection, and served promptly while hot. Their GF vegetables are fresh and tasty as well. My favorite entree is the Peel & Eat Shrimp served hot with melted butter dip (I’ve had it twice at this location in the past month). All day two for one well drinks. This is a family owned chain and they provide a safe and enjoyable dining experience at all their locations. I’ve dined multiple times at different locations and always had a positive experience.

The staff accommodated me very well. They have a great gluten free menu with a couple options not listen such as broiled or grilled salmon. Peel and eat shrimp was good.

Ordered blackened mahi mahi, garlic mashed potatoes, and coleslaw. They had a gluten-free menu. Food was delicious and I didn’t get sick.
