Ballyhoo Grill

"I've seen the ads for Ballyhoo's and had wanted to try it out. When we arrived, we were promptly seated and given menus. It was nearly 10 minutes before anyone came to the table for our drink order. Once the server did get to us, we ordered a dozen raw oysters as an appetizer. Our main course was a black and blue steak salad and Mediterranean flat bread. The flat bread was nothing more than a pretty bland cheese bread. The salad was all but tasteless. There was barely any blue cheese crumbles on it, and the steak itself had no seasoning at all. As far as service goes, it was slow and inattentive. The tray of finished oysters sat on the table throughout our meal and wasn't cleared until we were getting ready to leave. For the cost, I would have expected more."

"Great experience. At first no one came to our table for 6-7 minutes which was a bit annoying but then a waitress came and apologized for the wait and said she would serve us. She was very nice and attentive. The atmosphere there is great and it is a lively restaurant. They have nice indoor and outdoor seating. It is very clean in there. While they are a bit on the pricier side, the food is good quality. The firecracker shrimp was really good and came with a huge portion. My boyfriend and I both got the pastas. I got the chicken one which we both agreed was better than the seafood one; the seafood one could use a bit more flavor. The plates also came with really good bread which was nice. I would definitely recommend this place for a nice night out. They also have options that are not seafood."

"I’ve been going to Ballyhoo for years but haven’t visited in a long time. I took my family there recently and although the food was all great, the place is showing a lot of signs of aging. This is the reason for my 4 star review. It is in desperate need of a complete makeover. I’ll still eat there, but hopefully they fix the place up soon."

"Eaten here several times, but never reviewed. Food and service has ALWAYS been good. The Cuban sandwich was great along with the beer glazed pot stickers app. Went back the next day because of issue at movie theater and had the firecracker shrimp tacos. Outstanding!"

"The edamame was delicious and perfectly seasoned with garlic. The buffalo chicken sandwich, although resembling a burger with blue cheese, might not suit all tastes. The gumbo appetizer was fantastic, especially after a day of snorkeling and scuba diving at the Spring. The Fish & Chips was decent, while the burger's watermelon on the plate was a pleasant surprise. The waiter provided fast and helpful service, though the bartender was a bit slow. The sports-friendly ambiance added to the overall vibe. I look forward to returning someday!"
