D.Rough and I were passing through the area during lunch and
the “conch” part of this bar and grill caught our attention. We’re both big
fans, so we knew we had to pop in and get some lunch. All of the seats outside
were taken, which was fine because I was hella-sunburned (don’t ask). We pretty
much wanted everything on the menu, so we decided on an appetizer sampler. It
had conch fritters, buffalo shrimp, and deep fried zucchini and a bunch of
dipping sauces. Hard to go wrong, frankly.
But first… beach cocktails!
The conch fritters were just ok – they could have used a bit
of seasoning in the batter, but they weren’t terrible. They came with a spicy
remoulade sauce, which helped, so they ended up being alright. They were about
average, as far as conch fritters go.
The buffalo shrimp was the best part of the plate. Really
great sauce on these and it didn’t taste like it was from a bottle. We pretty
much fought over who was going to eat more of these.
The zucchini was good at first, but then became pretty soggy
once we hit the half-way point. I really liked them a lot at the beginning of
the meal, but when we came back to them, we were both a little disappointed.
This is one of those places I wouldn’t make a special trip
to, but I’d certainly go back to if we were in the area and needing some food
(and cocktails). Just an average giant beach bar and grill.
