Ken GrossAugust 25, 2017Great local bar and grill. Took a side trip on the way to Tampa and well worth it. Sit in the tiki bar area and a view is included. Service was good and fresh seafood.
Laurie RashNovember 20, 2015Burger and a beer best atmosphere by the water foods excellent great prices $24. 2 large beers 2 burgers fries and slaw don't get any better
Jim StanfordMay 5, 2014reasonable fare, pleasant staff, excellent scallops, wonderful waterfront setting, old school marina, boat dock is closer than parking lot, so good boat traffic.
Lauren BaconFebruary 4, 2016Gator bites, local seafood, and rum buckets are the best. Sit on the patio!
Sophia LeboeufJuly 4, 2012Amazing huge burgers. 1" + thick burgers. Waterfront view Gorgeous. And I dont know of it was because of 4th of july but the beer was cheap. <3 :)
Kevin MeyersJuly 17, 2018Don't be afraid to try the gator sausage. It was excellent. Spicy and tasty. Don't even know it's gator.- Kacie RossFebruary 16, 2013Salmon sandwich is awesome! Had No idea salmon was so good. Get it blackened and you will be begging for more!
Love their Fish & Chips. You should try it at least once!- Brent FinkeNovember 25, 2012Great outdoor dining and tiki bar area. Had the fried shrimp sandwich. Shrimp cooked well. Nice place
Cyndi R.April 18, 2014Lovely restaurant and food was great until I got a wave a nausea and got sick. Not sure if it was the food but I wasn't throwing up prior to this at all. In any case, willing to try this place again.
Jason WoodruffAugust 7, 2017Scallops, French Dip, and Burger were all GREAT. Location/Atmosphere is great. Service was below average.
Norma Atheart atouristlifeApril 27, 2021Love sitting out by the water, so relaxing. Always a good time. #Atouristlife
Love this place!! The food is always good and love being by the water...
Jessy WelshSeptember 13, 2011Ask for Elizabeth, she's the best. Shy away from the gator, but try the the fried clams or crab stuffed shrimp.
Barbara PaulApril 11, 2012CRACKERS IS GREAT IF YOU LIKE TO EAT BUY THE WATER, BUT NOT IN THE MIDDLE OF SUMMER. tHEN YOU CAN EAT INSIDE
Roxy ShawJune 3, 2019Cobb salad was okay. Grouper very bland no seasoning or flavor. Drinks were subpar. Great if you like outdoor music but service is super slow.
Caro HolleyFebruary 8, 2012Skip the seafood and grab a burger... they're off the chain! The gator bites are absolutely flavorless, sadly.
PollyNovember 4, 2012Worst service ever dealing with a food allergy, the waitress ignored me. Had to go to a manager and even then the best they could come up with was lettuce and lemon! Everything is from a can or box.
Jena WilliamsJanuary 21, 2012I came here with a bunch of friends and the waitress took forever there was hair in our food, and they messed up our orders. The food was not overly satisfying either. Over all it was not fabulous.
Heather K.May 4, 2013Walked out.....way understaffed fir a Saturday afternoon :-( 20 mins and STILL no drinks!
John WinfieldSeptember 6, 2020What the heck. Seriously appetizers with no tools. So they stop serving drinks, but no food 20 minutes later. This sucks
Service was terrible. Waited to long for food that should have taken 15 minutes.
Brittany MeimanDecember 22, 2011Someone in our party found an acrylic nail in her salad!!! HORRIBLE! Will never go back!
