The Mucky Duck Restaurant

"Best atmosphere on the island! Inside and beach dining. Some table are actually on the beach (those you self sreve...no waiter). The staff is friendly and attentive. They may play the ketchup prank on you... ha! Prices for food and drink are very reasonable for the great location. There are a few shops amd other eateries next to them. Parking can be tight so carpool if you go. A must stop if you're on Captiva!"

"We enjoyed our experience at the Mucky Duck. Prices were a little high but it is an island with limited choices. The slaw was delicious and so were the burgers. Key lime pie was great! Would love to come back for a sunset sometime. It was pouring rain the afternoon we were there."

"The Mucky Duck is a cool restaurant on Captiva Island. Parking is a bit difficult but the view is where it is at. They offer full service tables inside and out. On their patio they have a few picnic tables that you can opt for self service. We ordered a bunch of appetizers, I would recommend the fried Calamari and Chicken Wings. Overall a good experience and a restaurant with a fantastic view. I would recommend coming around sunset for spectacular sunset views."

"Everything about our visit to Mucky Duck turned out great. They have a great location with a marvelous view of the Gulf of Mexico and serve up great meals that the whole family loved. Their crunchy grouper sandwich and seafood pastas from the Specials Board today were excellent. We were concerned when we pulled in about finding parking, but there was an attendant whose job was to keep the non-customers from using their lot and showed me a place I could park that I would have assumed was too small because it was on the end. Parking border the beach itself, so without the attendant, beachgoers may try parking here. My car fit, so we parked and went in. The inside was small too but we got a table without waiting. We ordered and were served by a friendly and efficient waitress. She checked in with us frequently as we dined and kept our drinks filled. A tip for those who visit that are taller than 6'2 or so - Watch Your Head while walking through the place, many ceilings are very low for tall folk! Also, check out the place's history by looking at the walls, ceiling and menu, and find the reason some call it the Lucky Duck. It's a remarkable story. We plan to return to Mucky Duck. It seems to be the type of place where everything on the menu is really good."

"Great little place located right on the beach. Food was decent, nothing spectacular. Prices were more than fair. Our order came out incorrectly, we ask for no cheese on the Shrimp Tacos. Server apologized and put a new order in. We sat outside and the view of the beach was spectacular."
