Big size portions, great service, and good atmosphere. Seated right away. Will definitely come back.

Great food and good service. We remembered our last visit about 6 years ago and had another lovely dinner here.

Came with the family for a quick Labor Day trip to the Island and am glad we came across Blackbeards. They have some cool fishing memorabilia scattered throughout the inside and truly give you the SPI vibes. We arrived around 6 pm and were seated quickly by the hostess. The staff here is very kind and our waitress gave us a good rundown of the menu. Unfortunately, we couldn't take advantage of any dinner specials, so be sure to come on a weekday if you're interested in trying those out. We ended up getting the Blackbeard's Seafood Platter Supreme with Mahi Mahi and the fried oyster platter. The meals here come loaded with a good amount of food and most entrees do come with your choice of two sides. The Blackbeard's Seafood Platter Supreme tasted excellent. The Mahi Mahi was juicy and well-seasoned. We had the gulf shrimp broiled and they were flavorful as well. For the sides, we chose the dinner salad and steak fries. Unfortunately, the steak fries were bland and doughy. I would recommend avoiding the steak fries and choosing another side. The fried oyster platter came loaded with about 10-12 pieces and the oysters tasted very fresh! It also came with a large fried onion, which is a great bonus. The grilled zucchini as a side had a good smokey flavor, but they only gave us 2 pieces. Overall, Blackbeards is a good value for being on the Island and the seafood here tastes fresh. I highly recommend trying to arrive before 7pm on the weekends because by 7pm, it gets packed!

Dined in with a group of 10. They sat us right away and service was GREAT. Tried: chips, queso, potato skins and crab cakes. Main meals: steak, chicken fried steak, shrimp, Gouda burgers. Favs were: crab cakes, chicken fried steak, Gouda burgers and shrimp. Delicious. Deserts: fried apple pie, turtle cheesecake and key lime pie. ALL were fantastic!!! Highly recommend! Bonus points: I left my reading glasses there and didn't realize it til we were 5 hours out. I called and offered to pay to have them shipped back to me. They told me don't worry about it they would just mail them out.

We always stop and eat here any time we visit the island! This year I got the shrimp three ways. All versions are good, but the blackened shrimp are my favorite! Slightly overpriced, service was a tad slow. But food hits the spot every time. A family favorite!

We were actually pleasantly surprised here!! We all liked all of our meals. Good deal for the price and the service was great. We got house large margaritas - a steal for 8 bucks. I got the steak and shrimp special for $28 which came with NY strip and a skewer of shrimp. The shrimp in SPI def have a fishier taste but prepared really well and the steak was a good cut! Had sweet potato fries for a side which were good and a salad with raspberry vinaigrette. Would order all again. My sister enjoyed her blackened catfish and my mom has the same meal as me. Both enjoyed them as well! For dessert we shared the lemon blueberry cheesecake which was delicious!

Blackbeards was our favorite meal on island so we went twice! Pan seared red snapper / redfish Sooo good We sat at the bar and the bartender remembered our drink orders from 2 nights before .. that was impressive A must on SPI for over 35 years of my life!
