Reviews for Down the Hatch Seafood Company in Ponce Inlet, FL
Always a great time! Best food in Ponce Inlet (my opinion)! Chef changes it up with different 'specials' weekly, and it's... always delicious! Great place to see boats & sunsets... on the Halifax River. Ample parking, across street from restaurant. They often have live music outside... & sometimes have a smoker going out there also! Can get crowded, so expect a wait. Enjoy!! Read more
This place is above 5 star. The fresh seafood and steak and pasta menu has something for everyone. Did I say FRESH?! The fish... spread is Stellar! And if you are looking for a refreshing drink... The signature Islamarada Rum runner is a Win. The managerMatt and bartender Nina are so friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is beautiful inside in the a/c or on the outside deck,waterfront. We will definitely be back next year. Read more
This place is amazing. From the ambiance of the waterfront to the love music, to the off-beaten path feel of the parking lot,... you know you've arrived at someplace great. It was packed when we arrived, pro tip... get reservations or you may be waiting along while. Expect it to be crowded on the weekends. Lots of great seafood choices. Excellent menu. Food was well received.Fair prices for what I had, obviously market value can change dramatically based on selection and availability, so again... callahead. Our Jeep Beach group was from Wisconsin, was a delight to find out the owners here are also from Wisconsin! We'll besure to make this establishment a staple for all future 4x4 endeavors! Read more
The evening we were there we pulled into the parking lot and found an Ambulance, Fire engine & Police Cruisers. Apparently a... woman had fallen ill inside the restaurant. As we had been to Diwn the Hatch several times before we waited until the womanreceived care and put in our names on the wait list. The Hostess mentioned that the kitchen was backed up and behind but wascatching up. It was pretty busy. After about 30-40 minutes we were seated. Our Server was prompt, courteous and friendly. Wehad a variety of appetizers, salads, soups and of course main entrees. No one complained at all except they were out of crablegs. I had the Captains Platter blackened and it was outstanding, cooked perfectly, seasoned perfectly. It was about the bestseafood I've had. We found out it was our Servers 1st night after brief training and she did a spectacular job. Would havenever known it was her 1st night. We thoroughly enjoyed our food and service. We went to the bar ???? and had a cocktail. Read more

A very nice bayside restaurant. The waitress are cheerful and welcoming. We ordered fish taco, shrimp taco, tuna bowl and fried... calamari. The food is very fresh, juicy and delicious. The mermaid water is awesome! No strong alcohol smell/taste, but I feelit is just right when drink it. Read more
We are on vacation here from Idaho, and were looking for a local place with great seafood, and the menu online really stood out... to us for its variety and prices. It was a great choice!! Ian was our server tonight and he was awesome! He treated our familywith so much respect and attentiveness and humor, as well as excellent customer service and professionalism. He even helpeddeescalate a situation when some drunk customers tried to cause problems with another server and then apologized to us for thedisruption at the end of our meal. And last but not least, he helped dig through the trash to look for our daughter's retainerwhen it accidentally got thrown away in a napkin on her plate. So you probably are wondering about the food...It was excellent,fresh, and plentiful portions! There was live music, and the scenery was fun at the harbor with Christmas lights and decor, aswell. The prices are reasonable & it was well worth the drive! Read more
We came here for our anniversary dinner. Our waiter, Matt was on point. He was really tentative. He was a joy to deal with. He... was very pleasant. The food was GREAT. The oysters were big and tasty. The mussels were just right. BUT,,,,, that sauce on themussels??. It was enough to make ya wanna slap your momma and take hers. It was that good. I would definitely come back. Read more
