Very nice selection of entrées to choose from along with tasty appetizers. My husband and I just recently became aware of this location. The owners are very sweet and so friendly, and the food is very good. They also have a good adult beverage list. We have so far only visited them for lunch, so I cannot comment about the evening hours.
As an HVAC/R service provider, I’ve worked in countless bars, restaurants, and commercial kitchens — and I can honestly say that Shipwrecked has one of the cleanest kitchens I’ve ever stepped into. The attention to detail here is incredible. I work on a lot of ice machines, and they’re usually absolutely filthy — but theirs looks and runs like it just came out of the box. They go above and beyond, taking the time to clean and maintain all of their own equipment, which is extremely rare in this industry. It’s clear that cleanliness and sanitation are a top priority. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to eat here. In fact, in most kitchens I service, I’d never touch the food — but at Shipwrecked, everything is spotless, the menu looks delicious, and the food is always fresh. Their bar is also well-stocked and just as well cared for. From the perspective of a service provider who sees behind the scenes, I can’t overstate how impressive it is to find a place that takes this much pride in their operation. Shipwrecked is the real deal — a bar and restaurant that not only serves great food and drinks but also truly cares about quality, safety, and customer experience.
Prime location, excellent service, and cold drinks. It has a great stage for the bands right on the water as well. Definitely recommend paying a visit and making this your new hang out!!
I love coming to Shipwreck on the weekends. They often have live music which is great. Their scratch menu is also fantastic. I’m a creature of habit so I usually get the chicken tender dinner or the Mahi tacos (both are delicious). They can get pretty busy, and since they are a scratch kitchen you may wait a bit for your food. I don’t mind though because everything is fresh. Will definitely be back!
It had a Pirate theme , plenty of room for big parties. We got there and they opened 1 hr later than usual due to 2 catering events. The waitress was very prompt and made sure we had everything we needed, she was very friendly and welcoming for our first time visiting. Everything was made from scratch so the food took a while but was well qorth the wait. Everything was delicious, Im not a seafood lover beyond shrimp but i tried my wifes Blackened Mahi Mahi and it hsd no fishy taste and was DELISH. My fried shrimp was the best you can have this far away from a coast. My wifes from Florida and this Key Lime Pie tasted the the best you'd get down there. Im not a huge cheesecake fan but eveeything else was so good I figured it wouldnt hurt to try it. It was Excellent. We will be back. Thank You for a grsat experience
I was surprised at how good the food the service the atmosphere the Christmas decorations. Everything about it was amazing. The price was shockingly great yes I will go there again and again.
My grandparents, husband, and I came here for the first time and had a wonderful experiance! My grandpa and I got the steak sandwiches which were incredible! My grandma got the ribeye and husband got the Nashville chicken sandwich. We also had their fries, Mac and cheese, and rice pilaf. All were amazing! For desserts we tried the Tiramisu Cheesecake, Lemon crunch cake, pumpkin Mousse, and key lime pie. All were a 10/10. We will definitely be back!
