A Local Legend in John’s Pass—Now Fully Operated by Hubbard’s Marina
Since 1978, The Friendly Fisherman has been serving up the freshest seafood, mouthwatering coastal fare, and unbeatable waterfront views. Now proudly owned and operated by Hubbard’s Marina, this Madeira Beach favorite continues its tradition of warm hospitality and dockside dining with a refreshed commitment to quality, service, and local flavor.
Whether you’re coming in from a day on the water or strolling the boardwalk of historic John’s Pass Village, you’ll find something to love on our menu—from just-caught grouper sandwiches to shrimp platters and classic seafood boils.
Dockside Dining with a View
Enjoy open-air seating right on the water, where you can catch the breeze, spot passing dolphins, and watch fishing boats roll in with the day’s fresh catch. Our Dockside Lounge is the perfect spot for relaxing with a cold drink, and the best sunset views in Madeira Beach.
Cook Your Catch: From Boat to Plate
Went fishing with Hubbard’s Marina? Bring your fresh catch straight from the boat to our kitchen! Our chefs will prepare your fish grilled, blackened, or fried, and serve it up with delicious sides for a truly unforgettable, sea-to-table experience.
It doesn’t get fresher than this. Just let us know you’re “cooking your catch,” and we’ll handle the rest. It’s the perfect way to celebrate a successful day on the water.
Fresh Seafood. Friendly Atmosphere.
Whether you’re craving classics like fish tacos, clam chowder, or crab legs—or just want to sip a tropical cocktail on the deck—The Friendly Fisherman is your go-to spot. We offer family-friendly indoor seating, a full-service bar, and an unbeatable location in the heart of John’s Pass Village & Boardwalk.
