Whether you want to treat yourself after a long day or unwind in our backyard tiki bar, Mullet’s is about to be your new favorite spot for flavorful seafood fare and sharing a beer amongst friends (or strangers).

Bring your family, your friends, and your mullet.

Why did it take us so long to get to Mullet's Fish Camp? With kids in town for the holidays, we finally made it over. What fun! The atmosphere couldn't be more convivial; service was top-notch; and the food scrumptious. We started with the smoked fish, which made a believer out of our one "nothing smoked" grinch. For mains, we tried fried shrimp, cajun catfish, pulled pork sandwich and grouper tacos. SO good! Cocktails were stellar as well. Can't wait to go back!
