Pinchers - Lakewood Ranch

The service was excellent and the food was delicious. The conch fritters were a bit small, but still tasty.

The portion of snapper was substantial, giving me enough for a hearty second meal. I also love their mashed potatoes; they’re a standout for me. I’ve dined at Pinchers at least a dozen times, and I've never had a bad experience. That said, it had been quite some time since I last visited, and I noticed that prices have increased compared to before the pandemic, which seems to be the case everywhere. During happy hour, we ordered just appetizers and a dessert for two, and the bill came to around $60, even without any entrees. I highly recommend trying the fried key lime pie at least once. It doesn’t really look like a traditional slice of pie; it resembles fried ice cream but brings that distinct creamy, sweet, and tart flavor. On my most recent visit, I was thrilled to see they now offer the Beyond burger. I was eager to try it, and I found both its taste and texture to be very satisfying.

This is a fantastic spot for crab and cocktails. Our server was friendly, quick, and extremely welcoming. The hostess greeted us with a smile as well. Thank you, Pinchers!

Always a huge win with Pinchers. Great seafood/raw bar place. Our must go to place for Stone Crabs. They have a good 2 for 1 happy hour too. Always great food and a good time. Do yourself a favor and go here.

We come once a year for the car show and always have a good time with good drinks and food.
