Greatly enjoyed this spot! Right on Riverwalk by The Sail. We had a fried Grouper Sandwich with American Cheese and Garlic Parmesan Fries split and it was sooooo yummy. We also shared an appetizer order of Grouoer Nuggets and they were fantastic as well. Was very surprised at how good the food was and it was fast, clean with food well presented. Fantastic homemade tartar sauce as well. Will definitely visit again for some fast and convenient seafood when in the area again.

I don't understand why this place gets low reviews. We had an early lunch here on a Saturday after going to the Auto Show. Service was quick and friendly. Food was hot and quite tasty. Portions are huge. We had: Shrimp Burger, Wings, UPeel Shrimp, and the Fried Shrimp Basket. The burger was amazing and the wings were super flavorful. The U Peel Shrimp was a bit salty and messy but in the end yum. The day was super hot but the fans provided a nice breeze while watching the boats go by on the Hillsborough River.

First, This place offers quality food. I have tried more expensive places around here, at the end here is where I end up getting my food. The price is great for the area. The wait is around 20 minutes at peak hours or weekends, but in regular days 5 minutes top. Seats are available and its always enjoyable to eat and watch the bay. Now the Service, its always a gamble. Some employees are better skilled than others and have better costumer service, but anyway they close the window and you wait. Its def a go-to place and I recommend it because they know their menu. A+ 4 stars for the service.

Firstly, the lobster corn dog is out of this world!!! If you only go for that, it's more than worth it. Also the grouper sandwich is very very good. The grouper nuggets were ok. Really good batter they fry it in, but that's about it. The lobster corn dog is the real star of the show.

Service was fast and the attendant was friendly and provided the food in a timely manner. However the shrimps are way too crispy and fries wasn't the best I have had.. overall was a good experience adding to the fact themat the food is inexpensive. Great atmosphere I would say.

Had the shrimp Po Boy and it was pretty dang good! Lady that took our order was a little sassy but it was probably late in her shift on a Sunday night. $$ menu with great tasting food. Can't beat the view and atmosphere on Tampa's Riverwalk!

I had the grilled grouper sandwich with garlic parmesan fries. The fish was amazingly fresh and had wonderful light texture. They maintained good service despite a concert happening about 100 yards away. This is a fun outdoor seafood stand. The view of the waterway was spectacular. I recommend highly for a date night. Have some fish then take a water taxi sounds like a great night to me.

I stopped by for their blackened grouper sandwich, Best in the Bay winner. But got sidetracked with the lobster corn dog. It was amazing. Expected lotsa batter and little lobster but got the opposite. Chock full of lobster tail meat with a light crispy layer of tasty batter. Had grouper cheeks and truffle fries on the side, both delicious.

The food was so good. Service was a little slow and it didn’t have a restaurant feel as you have to scan a barcode and with with your phone and they bring the food out to one. The French fries were tasty and so my grouper sandwich. I will be back for sure.

Gilbert Chin

Nice view with lots of open air. Food is actually not bad. Ordered the grilled grouper sandwich and parmesan and garlic fries

Carolyn Ochoa

Food was delicious and service was great. Even the Cuban was delicious. I definitely recommend Big Ray’s and we will be back.

Not sure why the lower reviews, we had a great experience! Not a long wait and the food was good. We decided to get grouper nuggets and onion rings to munch on while having drinks and the grouper was tender and not dried out from frying and the onion rings were like an onion blossom texture, not a ton of breading. Great meal and not super expensive!

Sincerely Brittny

A cute walk-up eatery with a lovely bay side view. The food was excellent and just what I needed. There's also a walk-up bar with a good variety of late 90s/ early 2000s music playing. It created the perfect atmosphere, even in scattered showers.

Located at Sail Pavillion next to the convention center and Harbor Island. Great place to grab a bite to eat and take in the view. The French fries were covered in garlic and parmesan. Can you say delish?!?

Maida Millan

Very good blackened grouper sandwich. The blackened shrimp salad was delicious. And the French fries? Absolutely yummy. The view, on the river, is of course spectacular.

Kevin Farrell

Very reasonable downtown prices. Great food and delightful outdoor seating to admire the beauty of Downtown Tampa! Highly recommend.

Chad

Shrimp burger was ok, my wife really enjoyed the fried grouper sandwich. Overall good experience.

Sharon Shifflette

We decided to stop eat for a burger because it smelled so good! We just got done riding the water bikes and were starving. I guess COVID has changed the way they do things or maybe our experience is their normal but you order from a QR code or from the window for food but if you want drinks you go to The Sail pavilion for those. Burgers weren't bad but felt like fast food but the fries were really crispy. It was worth a try.

Michele Guttermuth

Good fast place to grab food. Large portion sizes and the food itself was good. Seating available so you can enjoy the water, Defs enjoyed

We visited this place late Friday. There was a big line that moved but very slow. Once we ordered they gave us the puck so when the food is ready it will ring and we can come pickup. Sat there about 10 mins and got our food. It was good, we had a burger and shrimp Po boy. Lot of food, to be honest after this we had an event at American social but boy aren't we glad we had this food. Keep up the good work, place is clean and has staff cleaning the tables which is mostly outdoor setting between this and the pub. A place you must visit..

First time at this location I usually go to the one on Interbay .. good food as usually nice view of the bay

Katie Jones

I had the blackened grouper sandwich and it was phenomenal. Fries were average but nothing to complain about. Atmosphere is great, and staff were all kind and helpful. Great little lunch spot.

David Uribe

On the water casual dining and drinks with plenty of touristy options close by

Philip Childers

Conch fritters were wonderful. Fried oysters were just ok.

Dan Pepper

Had a great meal next to the water in the shade. Staff were quick & friendly

Rhonda Wright

The food was okay. The option to sit outside is a plus. I would like to try this place again with another food option.

Evelyn Flint

I really enjoyed it here on a Tuesday afternoon! I walked up from the Riverwalk to a table on the patio under the awning. Had some FANTASTIC shrimp. The rub was awesome and they were perfectly cooked. You have to peel them yourself, but I swear they did the best deveining job I’ve ever seen on a shrimp. And they have wet wipes so I didn’t mind, at all. The staff was nice, and the tables were clean. The view was great in the afternoon, and I bet ever better at sunset.

Russ Denison

Deep fried shrimp was awesome. The live entertainment was stellar

ryan nicosia

Prices are pretty reasonable for the location. Grouper cheeks, Cuban sandwich, and wings were all good. Onion rings and conch fritters weren't great

Maria Nelson

Very good service!! Beautiful view. Great food 😋

Evan Shade

Food was good, liked the smoked fish dip, blackened grouper could of used more seasoning but was pretty good, shrimp poboy was good.

Bryan D

Always had great food from here. It’s fresh and reasonably priced when you compare to places like stones throw in armature works.

JD Buck

Smoked Fish dip was awesome. Got more than expected. What a deal!

Greg Hoffman

Great food. Great location. HIRE MORE STAFF! Painfully slow.

Angel Borges

Not sure why the place has a total of less than 3 stars because the food was delicious and worth the money. The cashier was very friendly and helpful. Next time I come to Tampa this will be my first stop.

alfredo h

Nice view, comfortable spot. Lacking on the wine list but very good rum drinks. Excellent conch fritters and really enjoyed the blackened grouper sandwich. Service was prompt and friendly.

Jathan a

Great tasting food!! Great scene.

Jose Chong

We tried the yucca with shrimp, onion rings and the grouper reuben sandwich and everything was good. The mojito was good as was the service. the only thing that bothered me was the person who was entertaining, He visited all the tables around us giving them papers and pens to participate in a contest answering questions and He passed more than 5 times by our side. Our table was the only were he didn't stop. I'm trying to figure out if it was because we were the only Latinos in the place or because we were one of the few without a dog in the table...

Kirk Dunaway

Tried their spot downtown by the convention center at the Sails. Food was excellent, can’t beat that grouper rueben. But funny how folks kept bringing out food to wrong tables, like they didn’t know where to take it. Need a better tracking system? But even a bit of rain didn’t dampen our spirits. I will go back.

Was seated pretty quickly on Friday night. Nice view and comfortable. But food took a long time! Bartender was friendly. Waitress okay. Food could be better.

Michael Hart

Ordered a margarita at the bar. Didn’t like it and traded for a Corona. Max came back after a few minutes and gave me another to try! It was delicious! Absolutely love that kind of service.

Eine gute Gelegenheit am River was zu essen. Leider für meinen Geschmack zu salzig. (Translation) A good opportunity to eat something by the river. Unfortunately too salty for my taste.
