This place is great! I visit every time I'm in town. This time, I had the combo basket with hushpuppies and pirate stew, but really there isn't a bad thing on the menu. Great service and atmosphere as well. Highly recommended!!

Dine inDinner$10–20Atmosphere: 5Blackbeard's Baja Tacos, Seafood, Sauce, Fries, Popcorn ShrimpMy mom is gluten free and chose the shrimp tacos. She said the BEST she has ever eaten. Shrimp cooked PERFECT. As alaskans we can be picky about seafood lol so that is high praise!!!Somewhat difficult to find parkingFree parking lotThey have their own parking lot but it is not huge. There was street parking but might require $. We found a spot in their lot. Might be a bit tight if very busy and in a larger suv.We sat on the non bar side and it was plenty family friendly. There were tons of families there and with kids all ages including infants.Flat lot entry… but we saw a woman in a wheelchair at a table there. So i believe it is fairly ada friendly. Doorways might be a little tight for some chair models.
