Blue Water Cowboy Saloon & Mercantile

Best food I’ve had here thus far in the past 12 years. Delicious. Island vibes. Locals. Nice. And wow the seafood is delicious. Best in the island. The scallops are the best. The fried and grilled seafood plates. The pasta the Asian influences in the soft shell crab and sushi is fresh, tasty and worth every penny. Felt very welcome.

Recommended first hand by an islander as the only spot for fresh seafood. So yeah we're going to try all of the things. By order of appearance, the downstairs bar was my favorite part of the ambiance. We are big fans of live music. It also helps make the wait feel about half as long. The egg rolls are worth the wait. But by far the best thing I've put in my mouth so far this year is the Drum Pontchartrain. Wow. With the rice pilaf, what were clearly hand made hush puppies was out of this world good. If you only make one food stop on the island, this is it.

Unfortunately the service was awful. Almost as if they were intentionally ignoring us. That's our food sitting on the counter settling to room temperature while the server was behind the wall busy talking to the young lady in the background. I literally had to get up and grab our food after confirming with the only other table that it wasn't theirs. The hostess was dripping with attitude when we arrived and didn't say a word to us as she stared while we walked by her. Just a bizarre lack of self awareness for customer service. The only good thing I can mention is that the sushi was really good. The cooked food we ordered was disappointing though. This was the only bad dining experience we had on this visit to Port A.

Excellent food and great “local” feel… shaggy dog sushi was amazing along with the lobster pasta! Would definitely recommend to others❤️ Side note: smaller restaurant with limited seating.

On a birthday trip to Port A, we liked what we saw on the online menu for Blue Water Cowboy. We loved the unique options. We ordered the potstickers & smoked sea salt edamame. We chose to share the Lew Roll and the grilled seafood platter with fries and Brussel sprouts. The food was fresh and cooked perfectly, and our waitress took very good care of us. Definitely recommend this one! Be sure to visit the cute store next door after dinner for 10% off your souvenirs.

Slow service and mediocre overpriced food. I was intrigued to eat here because it usually has a huge wait. I assumed that meant it was good. NOT! It took 30 minutes to be seated and an hour to be served. The food was average at best. Definitely won't be back. Apparently, it's a good place to drink. But to eat? No.

Service was amazing! Friendly atmosphere! Food delivered promptly, Fresh and Great presentation. Loved the dark Cesaer & house salad. Amazing food , delivery time excellent food Grilled to perfection scallops delicious Fish tasted like barbecue chicken. Cucumber martini, perfect flavor. Wasn’t a fan of Rockefeller oysters (under baked) and sushi roll shaggy dog a little salty.

We ordered the grilled seafood platter, coconut shrimp, shrimp po boy and the spider roll. The food was good, but it took over 45 minutes to get our food, and the appetizer arrived only 5 mins before. We did have an early dinner(5:30pm), so if you go later, plan on a wait. The drinks were delicious!! The Fin Stalker was yummy!! We also got the calamari. Different, but good. I would go back for the sushi and The Fin Stalker alone!!
