Buccaneer Waterfront Bar & Grill - Palm Beach Shores (FL)

5 /5 Michelle Davis: I dont know where to even start about this place. Giving this place a five star review isnt enough, so heres my 20-star review. Im a huge, HUGE fan of Chef Paul. I adored watching him on Hells Kitchen and had been following him for quite a while now. When I found out that he was running the kitchen in this place, I couldnt hesitate to stop by. I flew in over a thousand miles from New York in order to see him for my birthday and whoever I spoke to via their Instagram page worked some kind of magic. Im still in shock as to what took place when I was there. I arrived there feeling incredibly nervous because I went there by myself. I sat myself in a bar and got myself a strawberry mocktail, which was fresh and delicious. Then came Chef Paul and I was so shy I couldnt even look him in the eyes. I was so starstruck. I told him that I was his biggest fan and he thanked me and said that the dinner was on him, and I was FLOORED with emotions. For my entree I had the lobster cioppino which was absolutely delicious. I ate every little fish meat that was on the plate, but I wished I had a spoon so I can drink the juice because it was just that delicious. I was also awarded the (hopefully) legendary fruity pebble bread pudding with crème on the side and topped with a lit candle which was incredibly sweet of them to do. It was so excellently excellent, it was like savoring a fruity pebble pancake with the crème as the syrup on top along with fresh fruit. The bread pudding with the crème was EVERYTHING. Chef Paul checked up on me a couple of times and asked me how the dishes were and I had to hug him twice because the food was bussin and he was such a sweetheart. Everyone else at the bar was nice. The bartender was a sweetheart. The manager was a sweetheart. The atmosphere was perfect. For a span of over an hour, I truly felt like a princess. I want to thank everyone including Paul for making my birthday truly memorable. I definitely will be talking about it with my friends and family back in Manhattan. - Michelle

5 /5 Bruce Turk: We drive by this inlet side restaurant often when here on vacation and the parking lot is always packed during meal time. We walked down there last night and were able to get a table immediately. What a great place this is....great ambiance, really nice looking bar area and great food and drinks at very reasonable prices. Staff was great, including Daniel C. our server. Ordered the brussel sprout pizza and the night special steak and cheese pizza. Both were excellent, large enough to feed 4 with some to take home. So glad we stopped in and will be back again for sure.

4 /5 Tom Charek: We came with a table of seven and called for a reservation. We had no issue getting the table and being seated quickly. The drinks stood out on the night, it felt like the bar put thought and effort into the selection. The menu is a work in progress but seemed it could focus on a theme or selection for most people in the future. The empanada as a starter was great. The ceviche was ok but lacked enough flavor to order again. The server Owen was great and handled the large group very well. They did not have a fresh fish option for their daily catch which was disappointing for a water front place. The absolute best part of the meal was the pizzas. If you get one thing on the menu get the Brussel sprout pizza.

5 /5 BB Hill: Had the pleasure of dining here with 4 friends. It was phenomenal. I had the teriyaki salmon as pictured. Amazing! Daniel was our waiter, exceptional. I have lived & dined all over Florida for over 60 years & I’d have to say my meal was one of the best ever! All the staff were top of the line! Even practiced our putting skills on the complimentary course. All on the intercoastal.
