Baja Chowder & Seafood

Horrible food! Food served cold! Lobster cream served cold and very salty. Beans and rice cold, fried fish over cooked and dry. Raw oysters tore up soaked in water and flavorless !!

Bajarita, it’s the reason to visit this bar.

Service wasn’t friendly, fries were soggy, oysters weren’t good. Raw oysters shouldn’t be that salty.
Not a fun atmosphere

The crabcake sandwich was gross. My wife had the lobster role which was extremely bland. My daughter had the shrimp basket. The shrimp were tiny and greasy. And all of this terrible food was overpriced. The waitress was nice; that was really the only redeeming quality. Do not bring your family here.

This is the absolute worst restaurant I have ever eaten at in Florida. The bar and deck are full of older patrons sucking down cheap drinks and the restaurant is empty for a reason. Decided on the $ 29.50 all you can eat crab legs and shrimp. As you see from other photos, this is a small sized bucket. The crab legs were not fresh and mushy when you tried to crack them. The corn on the cob was not cooked and had to be returned. The potatoes were left out of the seafood boil and brought to the table in a bowl. Defeats the idea of the seafood boil. As far as the All You Can Eat? Seconds were brought in a small plastic sandwich basket, which consisted of very little. When that was finished, the waiter stopped asking if we wanted anymore even though the restaurant was almost empty. This is a scam. The place is dirty, the bathrooms are dirty and look like the place has not had a renovation for 20 years. It appears to be more of a bar hangout for the over 60 crowd cheap Charlies than a restaurant. For the first time in my life, I left $ 0 tip with a note on the receipt that All You Can Eat, means All You Can Eat. Never, never, never again will I go near this place. We always eat at Rusty’s and after driving up there we found out Rusty’s is closed for renovations so decided to try this place. Was in a hurry and should have read the Unilocal reviews. Most of the positive reviews mention cheap drinks and sandwiches. This is not a place you want to go for seafood. The ownership should be ashamed of themselves. Long time resident of Florida I will state again this is the absolute worst restaurant I have ever tried.

I absolutely love clam chowder so i figured id give it a try. i ordered a bowl of clam chowder which was more like a cup. it had good flavor but it was a strange texture kinda similar to pudding. When i got to the bottom there was a giant chunk of seasoning that didnt get mixed in. Nasty. I then ordered the fish and chips and my boyfriend got the groupet basket. Therr wasnt much to his basket. My fish literally tasted like dirt. Actual dirt. I had him try it to make sure it wasn’t just me. He agreed. Our bill was $ 40 for the little bit of food we got. Will not be back. The building looked very old and worn out.

Loved this place, we were able to bring in our own fish we caught on a charter and they fried it up perfectly! The food was delicious and the staff was beyond helpful and nice! The owner was here too and bent over backwards to make sure the kids enjoyed their food! I would come back all the time of we lived here it was so comfortable and affordable! Not too mention the food was great!

We absolutely love this place. The food is great and its kid friendly! !! The drinks are reasonable and we love listening to the live music. A must try is the Lobster cream dip, and the goat bread.

The 75 cent oysters are big and tasty. I usually only go there for the oysters and lobster bisque. The rest of the food is okay.

Hmm– thought this would be great, one decent staff person– not really a waitress, maybe an owners wife? Oysters we shucked the previous night– easy to tell. Chips and salsa 5 bucks 20 chips, good salsa though. I would not come here again– going next door to eat lunch– no willing to continue this.

Setting here drinking Bajaritas only $ 3 all the time.
Food is great, having a fish sandwich. Doesn’t sound very exciting but it is fixed the way you want it and excellent.

Loved this in Jan. 2014. Dec. 2014 not so much. The 75 cent oysters may have been worth even less. Chowder was great. Pot pie was good but ‘rich’ or heavy. Beer price okay for the area. Service just fair. Great view. Cool history in the menu. Our favorite server jaws moved on. Will I return. maybe but there are many choices.

1^st visit today. Orders were wrong. And my tea was refilled as water. D. B. Wrote harsh words on the bill.
2^nd visit today. The same server from earlier saw us come in and tried to get our table.
No way. So she sabotaged us by giving bad information to our actual server, a sweet girl on her second day working.
Double charges. Bill amounts rounded up. Wrong change given with receipt.
I spoke to the owner. He was aware of some employee issues. He issued an apology and a gift card.
Still only getting a 2-​star because I’m generous.

I was really wanting to like this place, but unfortunately, I was left for wanting.
The location is great, along the water with great daytime and evening views. The bar is good too — friendly bartender, friendly wait staff as well. But the food… well, I have had better. We had nothing out of the ordinary — I had their fish dinner, my wife had their chicken. Although my fish was good (a bit salty, but easily overlooked) my wife’s chicken was, well, fishy. Meaning, it was chicken — no doubt about that — the problem was the sauce they put on it tasted like fish.
I have to say, the place does look a bit run-​down — looks like it’s in need of a makeover, and hopefully they can shore up the dinner menu along with it. We’ll go back, but it might take some time…

While we didn’t love the food here, this will be a return destination for us because of the awesome bartender and overall great vibe of the outdoor bar. This is one of those places you can saddle up at the bar on a Saturday afternoon and just have a good time. The clientele is friendly, there is a great view of the water and the live music was more than half decent. I had the clam chowder and we shared some kind of fried fish. Pretty average. Will come back for everything else!

Not at all impressed with the service or food. Way over priced for what you get. Very run down, hopefully someone will come and redo the place now that the port is growing. One family dining near us with two kids still had not gotten their food after an hour of waiting! I would’ve walked out!
