Super chill place for seafood. It's Boston style food, in Tampa, playing reggae. It works. We started with the hush puppies which were big. Order of 8 was perfect for the 4 of us. It comes with honey if you want sweet, or some other type of savory sauce. Very good, not greasy. Food was good. Portions are hearty and the quality of the fresh stuff is great. I had the grouper fish tacos. So much grouper in them. Also had the cold lobster roll and it was pretty packed with meat. Kids got fish n chips and chicken tenders. Both were fine for them lots of fries for sides, and they are those good fries that don't get soggy and maintain a bit of a bite throughout the meal. Kids meals came with an ice cream cup, and they lived that. Place is quaint, on the water, reasonably priced for seafood, and the staff was friendly and attentive. Definitely recommend.

We visit ballast point often and finally tried this place out, it’s been a must at each visit since. Their fish and chips are mine and my husbands favorite and each one of their soups are equally delicious! We just recently tried their ice which did not disappoint!! There’s free parking and designated restaurant parking, great views of Tampa, and a nice dock to walk down before or after your meal. We can’t wait to come back!

WOW!!!! My husband and I have visited Ballast Point Park probably 10 times and occasionally have stopped here for ice cream but two weeks ago we decided to dine in and I am GLAD we did! My husband ordered the warm lobster roll and I had the half fried shrimp and half fried clams basket. The food is INCREDIBLE. The fried clams were the best I’ve ever had and the shrimp were HUGE. My husband inhaled his lobster roll- so unfortunately I didn’t snap a pic of his lol We will definitely make sure to dine in whenever we are here. 10/10 must eat here!

It was ok. The food was good. But some of the food items on their old menu weren't available for purchase anymore due to new management. The fried grouper was a very nice size of fish. Very hearty. But it lacked the extra flavor in the batter. The bang bang shrimp 🍤 was good. Thought it could be a little saucer on the shrimp itself. The shrimp themselves were very big. Awesome size for an appetizer. Dog friendly place. Great views. Nice place hanging with the family. I would go back. I was just expecting a little more flavor on the batter side. But it's definitely not a bad place. Family of 3, 95 bucks 2 bottle sodas, an appetizer 3 basic platter. Plus, tip. It's worth it to enjoy your family. Pic is leftovers 😋

We’re new to the area and decided to get our first local seafood take out from Taste of Boston. The food was great and easy to order online. When I went in to pickup the women that got my order for me were extremely personable and friendly, always goes a long way! One of us ordered the lobster roll which had the meat in a separate dish so we could assemble it at home and keep the roll from getting soggy, a great idea. We’ll be back for sure!
