Reviews
"Stopped by here on the way home from Tampa on a Thursday night at 5:30. The place was packed as they had live music. We found a little half table overlooking the water with a perfect view of the stage aswell. Very upbeat place with such a unique setup. The service was great even though it was super busy! Our server reccomended the tater bomb appetizer which we both loved! For dinner I order the grouper tacos with a side of sweet potato fries and slaw. I really enjoyed it and for only 2 tacos they were such good portion and cooked perfectly! He got the fish and chips. Overall great experience and would definitely go again. Be prepared to wait for a table and walk around looking for people to get up!"
"The live music was loud and not that good, and there was a hair in my brothers chicken and didn’t take that off the bill. Nice scenery though, it was really pretty and beachy. The person in the front was really cool we got to hold an alligator and pet a little owl! My Caesar salad was not the best, the chicken was a bit hard in the salad."
"Came here twice during lunch and had a great time. Heard it gets crowded during the evening time but the during the afternoon, there were plenty of tables to choose from. You seat yourself here and then someone comes over to you to take your order. Both times we were here, the staff was friendly and attentive. For food, we tried their pretzel bites and Woody’s Philly which were good. The drinks here are reasonably priced too and they have a good selection of beers. It’s right by the water so you can enjoy some views with your food and drinks."
"Great place to dine outside by the water. Food was extremely delicious, but beware you get a lot of food (not saying that's a bad thing, just be sure to bring your appetite). I got the chicken wrap and hubby got chicken strips. We also got another meal out of our lunch. The onion rings were the best I've had in years. They have a full mixed drink menu with some tasty sounding cocktails. Definitely worth the trip."
