We went on a Sunday night and found a table outside by the beach. This restaurant gets 5 stars just for the location. You can hear the waves. There was reggae music from Esh x Schief and a laid-back, friendly crowd.

We started with onion rings, crispy with a hint of coconut in the batter, and fried grouper bites that were golden, light, and full of flavor. Both came in casual baskets with sauces on the side. We split the famous Mahi-Mahi sandwich, flame-grilled and perfectly seasoned, served with pickles, onions, tartar sauce, and crispy fries. It was all great.

To drink, we tried their Ocean Deck IPA: light-bodied with bright citrus, tropical fruit notes, and a clean finish, perfect for the beach setting.

They don’t take reservations, but the service is quick, and both the upstairs A/C dining room and downstairs beachfront area are open late. Gluten-free and vegetarian options are available.

Friendly people, good food, great music, and the sound of the surf. Recommended.

Amazing place to be. I went there with some random guys I met the night before and had an absolute blast. The three-man band also rocked the place

The vibe was just perfect – super chill, great energy, and really friendly people all around. You instantly feel welcome there.

The burger I had was amazing and super huge, one of those “worth every bite” moments.

Definitely worth stopping by if you’re in the area, whether you go for food, drinks, or just to hang out.

Also, the fact that you pay $5 for parking and get a 5 Deckdollar bill back that you can use inside is a really nice idea. I actually decided to keep it as a little souvenir

I loved this place. The downstairs is casual and had live music when I visited on an off-season Thursday night. They have a great vibe and decent selection of beers. Food was decent, but this is definitely a place that showplaces its history at the water’s edge. I had great service and was asked to cash out while sitting at the bar (downstairs) because of a shift change. It was my last evening in town for a convention and I paid, while finishing my meal. I finished, my plate was cleared and I was searching my phone to see what else was in the area. The new bartender came up and asked if I needed anything , and since I had just had three beers said I was ok for the moment. I was considering staying for the Thursday Karaoke or whatever. There were open tables and seats around me. A minute or two after the bar staff had asked about the drink another person (kind of bouncer like) came up and asked if they could get me anything. Again, I’d just finished dinner. I said I was ok for the moment. He looked me in the eye and said, “GO”. So, while I could have stayed and opened a new tab, I left feeling unwelcome. I do know that it was probably because of the shift change and the new staff now realizing that I’d been there about an hour spending money, but it was pretty harsh and unexpected.

On Saturday, I went to The Ocean Deck Restaurant and Beach Bar. This is one of my go-to spots. I usually come here about once a month to enjoy lunch by the beach while listening to locals sing karaoke. Everyone is always so supportive, whether someone can sing or not, which makes the whole experience even more fun. The drinks are always great, and the vibe is just perfect.

As for the food, we always order the wings and fries, they’re that good! I’ve never felt the need to try anything else because the wings hit every time. The best part, though, is that as soon as you step out, you have direct access to the beach. There’s nothing better than finishing a meal and walking straight onto the sand.

Had the Mahi Mahi sandwich with fries for lunch. Meal was good and I thought the Mahi Mahi was a little strong for fish taste.
There were only a couple of other tables of folks there so atmosphere was very pleasant and had nice view of the Atlantic and beach.
Would recommend for a place to eat.

I got the Ocean Deck burger. It was cooked to order. I couldn’t quite finish it all. Had to add a bit of salt but all in all was very good.

Saved room for the PB pie dessert it was very good as well. Maybe a bit more chocolate was needed.

Place was busy. Took a few visits before the server had warmed up her personality. But again, place was busy and it ain’t easy to always be on.
