Pinchers - Wesley Chapel South

Excellent seafood and a laid back casual atmosphere. Shrimp pot stickers are delicious

Awesome lunch at Pinchers. We had coconut shrimp and shrimp tacos. We ordered the handout French fries that were made to order. They were delicious We loved the clam Chowder soup. The garlic toast was okay. It could have had more flavoring, and grilled longer would've helped, also. The margaritas were only $2. They were the BOMB Our service was awesome! You must dine here.

Worst seafood I’ve ever had. Our waitress, Yaz was friendly and kind, not sure how many other tables she had but not very attentive. Never refilled our waters. New residents to this area and wanted to try something great for dinner tonight. Started with the conch fritters which were just OK. They’re definitely the frozen style you can buy in bulk. Slightly mushy and full of bell pepper. The sauce they’re served with was so salty we didn’t use it. Not the style conch I’m used to at all further south. Then we tried the gator bites. They were just OK as well. Maybe I’ve been spoiled by the fresh locally caught gator they serve at Ralph’s in San Ann. $17 for about a small handful. For the entrees we got 1lbs of crab legs with cole slaw and fries and the fried oyster platter with mashed potatoes and garlic bread. The oysters were fine but the garlic bread wasn’t even toasted. Just cold white loaf bread with a very light touch of garlic butter. I’ve never had cold soft garlic bread, much less bread that wasn’t toasted. So didn’t eat that. The mashed potatoes without a doubt were instant Idaho potatoes from a bag. So bad and cold I couldn’t even eat them. Made my husband try them to make sure it wasn’t just me and he agreed-instant cold potatoes. The cole slaw was decent, probably the only thing I’d eat again. Fries were basic steak fries with way too much seasoning making them salty. The crab legs were way over cooked. Completely rubber and boiled till there was no meat left if the shell. We were torn between Pinchers and Dummy Crabby and left extremely disappointed and wishing I would have chose dummy crabby instead. By far the worst seafood I’ve ever had. The live one-man-band was nice but a little loud. Also had a premium strawberry margarita from the bar and it was awful. Tasted like rail tequila… Made my husband drink it. Definitely will not be back. They’re locally owned seafood shacks with much better food and prices. 2 people $130 to leave hungry and unsatisfied. I’ve been a server for 20 years and if I noticed my table didn’t eat any of their sides I’d ask if there was a problem and offer to switch the sides out for them. I’d also try to make their first experience a great one so they would come back and yes she knew it was our first time because she asked.

Food was great and oooohhh those margaritas! Our waiter Mike was excellent!

Love Pinchers!! This is definitely one of the small scaled ones but perfect for families n in an outdoor mall setting. I worked at the one in Bonita Springs years ago n love the way this restaurant is run n focused on customers!! They had a musician playing music in the patio by the bar which was a GREAT touch!!
