We went to see/hear the live entertainment, Sean Chambers. He's an awesome guitarist! Can't wait to see him again--for sure. What a great time!! We had drinks & appetizers (huge onion rings, fried okra, fried gaiter tail nuggets). OMG...all were delicious!! Prices on drinks and food very reasonable. "Skippers" has a lot of character & personality. I love that type of casual atmosphere. Has a 70's rock n' roll vibe to it!! This was my second great time at Skipper's. Love the food and live entertainment.

Loved the food here!! I went almost a decade ago, when I went to see a friend m now I brought some others. I love the gator ribs!! So smokey and sweet. Just a little kick. I had the fried okra with it. Also really do just say f#ck it and get a bucket. Of booze. I was told it was quite yummy. Well worth the drive to Tampa. We came from Columbus Ohio and we were about 45 minutes away and I will gladly come back to Tampa, for the gator ribs.

If you are a frequent customer and tip the bartenders and staff well, they will do a shot with you at their expense. Just going once to celebrate your birthday, i would try a chain with not as good food
