Jeremy's Ale House

Came in with the family the other night. Great food and staff. Liked the laid back atmosphere. Look forward to going back.

I've been to every bar on the strip, Best food & drinks & people on the Mile !

It might be a hole in the walk but the food and drinks are the best on the mile.

If you are looking for good beach food and don't care about things like presentation then look no further than Jeremy's on the Nautical Mile. I have been to many of the restaurants along this canal-side strip through the years and been disappointed time and time again after eating poor meals at high prices. Jeremy's delivers the opposite. Four of us filled up on a shared appetizer, four meals, 3 extra sides, one bowl of soup, and 4 large beers (there was great debate whether these styrofoam cups were 32 or 40 ounces- they were huge) for $22 each. I can't remember the last time I ate in Freeport for less than $50 each! All food was served on paper plates with plastic flatware at our dockside table after ordering our meals at the bar; no-nonsense! There was so much food we ended up bringing some home to reheat for another meal.

Our calamari legs starter was perfectly cooked, fried to a tender, golden brown. One of the best plates of fried calamari we've ever had, not one piece was overcooked and rubbery. The serving was gigantic; easily shared among all. There is a special each day and two of us ordered the Tuesday special; 1/2 pound of shrimp. I got the buffalo shrimp and it was perfectly spiced and served with a fresh blue cheese. My husband is a fried shrimp connoisseur and could not get enough of his plate of beer battered goodness. The cocktail sauce was great, although we thought the tartar was a bit too lemony (grab the sauces at the bar- they are in plastic squeeze bottles). My parents ordered the seafood combos, one grilled, one fried. The grilled dishes come with rice that is on the plain side, but why fill up on rice when there is so much yummy seafood around. If you are a Manhattan Clam Chowder eater this is a must; homemade, filled with clams, and the broth has a nice clam flavor to it without being overpowering. And the onion rings are old school- big onions, fresh batter, piled high. The beers are cold and delicious, and the gigantic large may be the best drink deal on the Nautical Mile.

If you want a romantic night in well-decorated surroundings, or a waitress to serve you, or anything fancy Jeremy's Ale House is not your place. If you are looking for delicious food and don't mind (or embrace) a no-frills, dive bar setting Jeremy's is your place.

Where else can you get two1.25lb lobsters with corn/sides for $25?

The folks at Jeremy's will do ANYTHING within reason to keep you, the customer, happy. They wont gouge on price, and thrive on repeat business. There are a few rules to understand (about ordering, food running, removing your bra, etc.) that would be helpful to know. But if you're a first timer, ask someone. it's painless.

This is honest seafood / pubfood at honest prices, in a laid back setting where anyone can relax and unwind. Great for families / kids, not pretentous at all, and great for sports. Its the one place I can bring my toddler and not worry about upsetting an uptight clientelle (yes they have highchairs). Also great for the person who enjoys beer (32oz "bucket" cups keep you from having to get up too much to re-order drinks).

Happy to see Jeremy's open so fast after Sandy too.
