Skipper's Smokehouse

4.5

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.

Brought back fond memories of my USF days when I went there on vacation ( March 1 ). Always was a cool place to hang out, great people, friendly staff, and the food is consistently good. 

Business response:

Thanks, Scott!

I stopped by Skippers Friday night on my way home from the vet. I had my very sweet and social cat on my lap at the outside section of Skippers. After 2 hours, an employee nastily told me "cats are not allowed here." Okay, so how do they explain away the fact that they feed stray cats on the premises and the cats run around the place every day? I'm very dissappointed and will find a less hypocritical place to spend my money and relax on Friday nights.

Arrived with three people after the Bucs game on 12/28. It was not busy at all and when we came in three employees were busy chatting at front of restaurant. We were told just to seat ourselves. After ten minutes had passed, not one person came to ask us if we needed drinks or menus. We did manage to get hit up by someone selling candles, but apparantly wait staff had better things to do. We finally just up and left and went somewhere where they appreciated our business. Management needs to look in to this as we were an easy... read more

This place has the small town feel I miss since moving. Great menu for people who enjoy cajun and seafood. Not the best for picky eaters.
