Skipper's Smokehouse

About this business

If you are ready to try smoked mullet, fried grouper, grilled catfish, or award-winning Gator Black Bean Chili, this is the place to go. Skipper's Smokehouse is a combination of a tropical Key West bar mixed with a lively restaurant with eccentric decorations. Add to that a dash of live nightly music and you will have your taste buds dancing and your toes tapping at the same time. This is always a happening nightspot and is one of the best concert venues around.

Just tried calling multiple times at 10:15 trying to place a to go order and was forwarded by the staff 3 times on my phone, and once on my boyfriends phone. I work in restaurants. I understand it sucks having to make food before closing, but I called 45 minutes before closing and live 5 minutes away. It will take 10-15 to make the food. If you are going to hire staff that are too lazy to take a to go order, you're going to keep losing customers. I am so disappointed and will not be coming back. I just got out of work, and w... read more

Business response:

Athena Ann Gembutis we are so sorry that you had what you consider to be a less than pleasurable experience, however, we did get your comment/review and we were closed. We questioned staff on duty and we think you must have gotten our auto attendant when you called because our kitchen was closed and there was no one up front answering the phone. Though, we stay "open" later than the kitchen does, that only pertains to the oyster bar and outside venue. For 20 plus years our kitchen has always closed at least one hour prior to... read more

I’ve only been twice. I didn’t care for the food the first time. I ordered a grouper sandwich and is was very bland. The food tasted all the same. I ate elsewhere the second time. The music, however, was fantastic. It’s a wonderful, small venue for entertainment. Even though people stand at the stage, it is possible to see the band from every angle. It would be a bit nicer if the stage was just a bit higher, but, all in all at great place to hear music.

Love the outdoor venue and musical talent selected. Not a fan of the food though and the restrooms are always filthy.

Went to see the British Invasion. The music was great. The chosen bands had the crowd up dancing. It was a nearly sold out show and we were still able to find places to sit. The staff was very helpful and friendly. My daughter ordered chicken fingers and fries. Both were cooked well. The fries had a good seasoning and were fresh, hot and crispy. I will definitely enjoy future events there. 15 dollars for at least 20 bands and 7 hours of great music. Can't beat it!!
