I kept driving by this place on my motorcycle and didn't even know it existed till 1 day I Yelp searched the area for places to eat.. Doesn't look like much on the outside so don't let that fool ya. Once inside you're greated by friendly staff and seated promptly. The decor inside reminds me of most seafood places in Florida and is very entertaining. I ordered the grouper pan seared. When it came to the table it was cooked to perfection. I enjoyed the grouper and the homemade hush puppies and coleslaw. Not sure how to describe the coleslaw as it had a vinegar type base vs a milky type. The hush puppies had some good flavor as well and definitely tastes different than others around. The wife had a chicken ceaser wrap. They grilled it and she said it would be better cold vs hot. (Didn't mention grilled in menu, at least can't remember if it did) Was still good but wished it was cold. Great experience and will go again when in the area.

Great seafood! We ordered all the appetizers and all were delish! Good choices of beers on tap. Good music playing, though it was very bright in the dining area. Definitely be back

Don't order the burger...terrible quality of beef or whatever that was. Filled with fat and tasted strange. Fresh cut fries way over seasoned with salt at least a month's supply of sodium. Known for seafood so I made the mistake and ordered a burger.

I don't know about the food as the service pissed me off before we even sat down. Our group went to the bar and found seats but were immediately told we couldn't sit there and had to see the hostess and get on the list to sit there. After ten minutes it was determined it was ok for us to sit at the table... From there we tried to order a pitcher of Leinenkugels but were told they only did pitchers of domestics(???) I flagged down the manager and he laughed at me for asking and said the price would be too high and that they were a reaturaunt and not a bar, which may be true except for 1/2 the square footage of the building is a bar... Generally a waste of time to come in. I have never been to a place that couldn't pour pitchers of some tap beers but not others... I expected to pay a higher price but being rudely told no and laughed at put a sour taste for this joint. Crappy staff attitude but with few other choices your stuck with this place.

They get one star for having Sierra Nevada on tap but their food is absolutely horrific. Good luck!

Try the deck dots. Beware the blackened foods as they are really spicy!

I got a recommendation from a friend to try this place while visiting the area. We (my wife and I0 were seated on the lanai, which is relatively new. The place itself is pretty junkie looking on the outside, but it is surprisingly decent on the inside. Our service was by a young lady who did a decent job. I ordered the nachos to start with. They were pretty decent and fresh tasting. We got 1/2 and order and it was plenty for the two of us as an appetizer! For dinner I had crab cakes. The plate came and everything (fries etc.) all looked burned to me. They didn't really taste burned. The crab cakes were pretty decent. They weren't amazing, but they certainly weren't terrible. They were quite edible. The fries were lousy, and tasted burned. The prices were a bit high for a place like this. If I were visiting the area again, I'd probably pass on going to this place. There seemed to be a few nicer places in the area I'd rather try. It's just ok.

Looks like a little hole in the wall restaurant, but pleasantly surprised when I walked in. Seafood is fantastic!

Taco Tuesdays are a great value. Go before 6PM, and they have good happy hour specials.
The Deck is one of our "fun spots." The staff is very friendly and we are looking forward to trying the new menu Items. The tuna is great and the Southwest flatbread had a great flavor. They are also known for their Sangria. You can always find it by looking for the packed parking lot.

Alright, quick overview for people who want the basics: -Don't go on live music night. The music was way too loud the night we were there. Not bad, just loud. -Menu is a good mix of seafood and American food -We only had seafood, but everything we had was good -Prices were excellent for the amount of food we recieved Now the full review. First off, let me get the bad out of the way. Yes, I gave it 4 stars, but there was one factor totally unrelated to the food that impacted our dining experience. We were there on live music night, which we didn't know about, and the music was turned up way too loud in our opinion. We couldn't talk easily, and the music made everyone else talk louder. That, however, was the only bad thing about our visit. On to the good! We found out about The Deck Down Under from Restaurant.com , where my dad had some gift certificates from. The restaurant wasn't hard to find, and is right next the road. Walking in, the first thing we noticed, unfortunately, was the volume of the music. Thankfully, we decided to stay, because we were in for a treat. Because we had the gift certificate we ordered 3 appetizers: crab cakes, "Boom Boom" shrimp, and a side of hush puppies. Yeah, we had plenty of food, but we were hungry. Out of these we really liked the shrimp and hush puppies. The crab cakes were decent, and came with a really good sauce, but were a bit too sweet for our liking. The hush puppies, which I ordered because it had been forever since I had had any, were very good. Unlike some hush puppies (*ahem* Long John Silver's *ahem*) they had more in them besides cornbread; they had vegetables and some sort of fish or crab. Anyways, we liked them and the serving size was very nice for the price. We also liked the shrimp. Well, my dad loved them, I just thought they were good. The breading was light enough not to overpower the shrimp, and they were drizzled with a spicy cream sauce. My dad also ordered clam chowder, which we all thought was very good. It had a good amount of clam in it, and had some interesting spice in it. We couldn't quite figure out what it was (might have been bay), but we liked it nonetheless. For entrees, mom and dad both got the grouper sandwich, while I got the grouper fish tacos. Each of these come with the option of having the group pan-sauteed, blackened, or deep fried. I had my tacos blackened, and I thought the fish was pretty good, although it was a little difficult to taste at times amid the toppings on the taco. It wasn't overly spiced, and it wasn't dry, so that was good. One note, the fish tacos come with slaw, as listed on the menu, and I didn't particularly like it, so that's something to note. I was able to take most of it off. I only had a bite of my mom's sandwich, but I thought it was good. It definitely had more fish in it than my tacos, but it was also more expensive, so that makes sense. Also, our dishes all came with fries, which were, in my opinion, delicious and perfectly salted. That said, I like my fries salty, so they may be too salty for some people. They're also really good dipped in the sauce that comes with the grouper sandwich. Anyways, now that I've written an essay on the topic, I thought all the dishes were good. Some stood out a bit more than others, but nothing was bad or mediocre. The price was good for the amount and quality of the food received, although our final bill was higher than it might have been due to our appetizer spree. :) One last comment: the service was excellent. There was no wait when we arrived, and I don't think anyone ever waited while we were there. Food came out quickly and at a good temperature (i.e. it wasn't so hot you couldn't pick it up). Drinks were refilled readily, and it was generally a very good experience. We will definitely be going back, just not on live music night.

Deck Down Under is a cool little spot in the middle of no where on US-12. The décor in the place is great; has kind of a Joe's Crab Shack feel, only better. We visited on a Saturday Night and the place was hopping. Luckily they take reservations. The waitstaff and service was great. They serve both Pepsi and Coke products, and our drinks stayed full all night, which always makes me happy. As far as the food goes, it was decently priced so we did a lot of sampling. For appetizers, we ordered the Deck Dots (bread bites) and Crab Cakes, which we so-so. For entrées I played it safe with the fish tacos, which, to be honest I'd never had fish tacos before, and I wasn't that impressed. I ordered one fried, one blackened. Presentation left some to be desired, but they were edible. They were served with fries and I ordered a cup of clam chowder. The chowder was pretty good. My wife ordered the coconut shrimp, which she was really happy with based on the size of the shrimp. My favorite thing was actually the fried clams that my Pastor ordered. They were very meaty and had great flavor. Over all, I would definitely go back. I would most likely order something different; But it's a cool enough place. They also have weekly specials, but they seemed a bit pricey. In summary: Cool place. Great service. Decent affordable food.
