Eating on the beach is really cool...and that's about it. The hostess, "Momma", didn't seem too happy we wanted to eat there. I guess I got on her bad side because she sat other people who checked in after us before us. The food is a grade below okay. I will give it to the servers though. They were working hard! One was literally running. The cheese curds were tasty. The Philly cheese and feast basket were underwhelming.If it wasn't on the beach it would be a 1.5 or 2.

Couldn't find a cuter place than this right on the beach. beautiful sand, nice picnic style tables with good sized umbrellas over them and the wait staff was very attentive. price is so reasonable! just a little nice noshing on the beach.Great cocktails and live music. I do recommend coming here and it's dog friendly as well

Called in for carry out. They were short with me and seemed perturbed with a couple of questions. I ordered the fish tacos. Well, I have definitely had a lot better fish taco. The fish was pretty plain with a lot of onions and tomatoes. I kept hoping the sauce would kick in and help. Nope?! Sorry, I don't see the hype?! I think we have better seafood restaurants back home north of Charlotte. They were pretty busy so I guess my opinion is small in comparison to the community.

November 7th, 2023Came and sat inside by the table near the window overlooking the beach. Ordered fish sandwich(flounder) and a cluster of crab legs.The weather was clear and not a cloud in tje sky. The time was later in the afternoon so we watched the ocean waves, pelicans flying by and saw the sun set behind the pier.≈===============================August 7th, 2023. Came for simple food and the view. Got in within minutes of arriving. The weather is spectacular and the view is great too.================================Had the fish sandwich (flounder) on a long roll with GREEN lettuce with French fries for $14 98 . Enjoyed the beach breeze while waiting for and then getting lunch. Wasn't in a hurry and loved the "Lazy Turtle" experience.This was much better for food, price and atmosphere than Fishy Fishy!Parking: Patience will get you a spot in their private lot.

The food was really good and the French fries are some of the best we have ever had. The people are very friendly and helpful just the service was a little lacking, as in they disappeared and we had to Wait for drink refills and extras we needed. But outside that it was a good place to eat and enjoy the view of the oceanWe will be back next time we are on town

We visited last night. Kids were running around screaming and everyone was waiting for their food for a while. We ordered a simple hamburger and chicken tenders and it took an hour and a half when the waiter had finally come over and told us that our order was just two tickets behind and it would be ready soon but me the two others I was with knew it would be much longer. So we decided to go, payed for our drinks, soft pretzel we got as an appetizer then left. Sad to know we weren’t the only one experiencing this saw many other families in there with young hungry children running around screaming waiting for their food also.

I wouldn't waste my money again on this one. Ranch is store bought/the cheap kind. If you're expecting fresh, this isn't the place. The peel and eat shrimp tasted like they were previously frozen and tough but they were de-veined. House chips were like eating Styrofoam. Chicken tenders reminded me of the meat used at McDonald's in their nuggets. Our server was nice.

We really enjoyed this lovely place on the beach. Our first stop, we were able to dig our toes into the sand under our picnic table, while enjoying a particularly good rum runner, dark & stormy, and a few of the other specialty beverages they offer. We learned they had karaoke the next night, so we decided to hang out again with our new friends again. We had a blast "rick-rolling" and having dinner while being sung to by some of the locals. It is a lovely gem on the beach and a true must do in the area. Their crab cake sandwich for lunch was my favorite crab cake I had on this trip to the beach. I also had their shrimp basket for dinner. We were all happy with our food and drinks. Great memories!!Parking: They have a few spots next to the restaurant, and a larger lot across the street for a few hours of free parking while you are in the restaurant. We did not have any issues parking either visit, but it was not fully into beach season yet either.

I’m so glad I ignored the negative reviews online and discovered this gem of a restaurant this year. The Lazy Turtle may be a little rough around the edges on the inside, but I wouldn’t know, as I’ve now enjoyed three delicious meals outside with excellent service. You can’t beat staying in the Yaupon area, walking to the restaurant, and dining on the beach. Interestingly enough, I still haven’t tried any seafood here, but the sandwiches and chips are fantastic. The portion sizes are generous, and the staff members have been nothing but courteous and attentive every time. I’ll be back!

I’m not one to leave reviews at all but after my experience here I had to. Me and my girlfriend decided to stop here hoping for some good seafood and drinks, that was not the case at all. We started off with the house made chips, they were overcooked and not even seasoned with a little bit of salt. I got the scallop plate and the scallops weren’t even real they were imitation scallops (tasted like fish and all uniform) and there weren’t that many on the plate either, roughly 8. The fries and hush puppies (only 4) that came with the plate were decent at best and the slaw had no flavor other than black pepper. My girlfriend got the flounder plate and the flounder had no flavor at all and was watery on the inside like it was from a frozen packaged fish you get from a store. Both mixed drinks were extremely watered down and didn’t taste that good at all. The waitress Cristina was extremely rude and not attentive at all, probably tried avoiding conversation knowing the quality of food was terrible. The only good thing about this place is that it’s right on the beach and has outdoor seating on the sand. If you’re looking for real seafood and good drinks and good customer service avoid this place because you won’t find it here.

We love the atmosphere of this place and being right on the beach is so convenient! Unfortunately the management completely ruined it and we will never go back. The manager argued with our table and completely ignored us after waiting 2 hours for food. The other staff followed us out of the restaurant and apologized several times for his behavior. Disappointed we spent so much money there today and treated the way we were.

We had a great experience. The food was really good and the service was above excellent. We are a family of 6 with some picky eaters and they loved it. The arcade room was a nice plus as well. Will definitely come back again and eat here.Kid-friendliness: They have an awesome arcade room.

Great patio with tables in the sand for ocean views. My wife had the chicken philly and it was stuffed and delicious. I had the scallops. Decent, but just ok. Oddly we tried to go a second time but when we walked in they said they were "closed". This was in their posted times multiple tables of customers and waitresses. Maybe need to update Google and signs.

Definitely had a great time here. My wife and I were visiting on a business trip and stopped in to have a few drinks. We sat out by the Tiki Bar right on the beach and had wonderful service. I would definitely recommend

Good beachside restaurant, however, they lost my credit card and were very cavalier about it and said, “this happens every summer”. I was kinda furious they took it so lightly and when I asked for meal to be free, they were incensed I would suggest such a thing.It was the attitude that bothered me the most. It was an accident so no big deal.Sadly, I won’t go back.

Dog friendly outdoor dining with sand under your feet. Met a lot of the staff as we brought our two dogs. Dog menu options available. Arrived at 630 on a Saturday evening, had a 30 minute wait but went to the bar to get some drinks and that time flew by

Took my family to try out this cute little place that I thought was going to be a fun experience because of the beach front dining area. Looks beautiful but I would like to share my experience. I was asked to wait 25 minutes for a table. That was fine, we were prepared for some kind of wait(they looked busy). So my family was ok with that. We waited just about 35 minutes then I was handed the menus and followed an older gentleman to the beach front area and he pointed to our table and said we could go sit at. We sat down and waited for someone to come get our drink orders. No one came. We sat there at the table and watched as the other party of 4 that was behind us get seated and then about 10 minutes later got drinks brought out to them, then their order taken soon after. A different waitress was going around our table and assisting the tables around us. I could hardly believe nobody acknowledged we were there. Not even a “we’ll be with you soon” or anything. After waiting for a waitress for another 25 minutes, I finally said I’ve had enough of waiting and decided to leave. Not sure why we were treated this way but it wasn’t a pleasant feeling.

It was two days before Christmas so it was a pretty slow day at Lazy Turtle but it was warm and we were able to get a table close to the water. Our server was very friendly and was a pleasure to talk to. Again, it was slow so she was able to stay and chat a while. Our order was simple and quick as were only there for a quick lunch. We ordered the fish tacos and flounder basket. I was hesitant at first because I would rather have a different fish for my fish tacos but I thought I'd give it a try (I like founder but would simply prefer another fish).The food cam out quickly and was great. the tacos were overflowing and the aioli used was awesome. The flounder basket was really good too.Overall, our lunch was better than I expected and I would definitely go back. I can imagine this place is packed in the summer especially at the outside tiki bar.

Nice little spot on the beach for a quick bite to eat. They do not allow outside drinks at all. They have picnic tables on the beach for dining. Overall it was a cute spot, we had a couple drinks and enjoyed the views.

Food was good but they were short staffed so service was slow. Waitress made the best of it. Tan out of several food items. Could be cleaner but being so close to ocean there is a lot of sand tracked in and out. Great sunset picture spot.

We ate outside on the beach and staff is super dog friendly. They bring a bowl of water to the table for the dog!The fireball shrimp appetizer is worth checking this place out!! I had the fish sandwich which was yummy and my husband had the fried shrimp basket. The iced tea was good too.
