Buzz's Lighthouse Restaurant

"Excellent service from our server Kim and excellent food. I have been gluten free for a long time and finding delicious deep fried shrimp is difficult. I ate the fried butterfly shrimp, got a side of fries and had a cocktail. All with a view of the water. I will absolutely be back!"

"Good tasting food with a pretty view except portions of fish are on the small size. Italian meatball soup was too salty for my liking. I recommend the peel shrimp"

"Everything was fantastic here unfortunately the fish and chips wasn't the type of fish and chips I was looking for but we tried it anyway even though our server told us how they were. We were told it was like a thinner style filet but did not expect the type of batter. The coleslaw here is not great it kind of tasted like just shredded cabbage and no sauce or flavor I guess, it just didn't have enough juiciness. But they do a killer french fry. We just came for a late night snack and the atmosphere was great and our server was fantastic. The fish and chips might be right for Floridians but we're used to a different style in the north. More a heavy battered and deep fried white fish rather than lightly breaded, did not catch the lightly breaded part in the menu unfortunately. Was still good fish and different so we'll keep the 5 star overall review. But that coleslaw needs A LOT of work. Oh and the server said "they're key lime pie was yellow in color the way it's supposed to be" so we did not order any because unfortunately we tried another key lime pie at Don Ford's that was yellow in color and it was not even close to great. The best key lime pie we have had was not yellow and from Billy's Stone Crab on the other side of Florida."

"We had such a great time for dinner at Buzz’s. The staff was exceptional, very attentive, kind, and fun to be around. The food was good, I wish there was a little bit more of a uniqueness aspect. Cocktails were spot on! Overall very tasty and great portions."

"Very relaxed and tropical feel. Especially on the deck. Everything I've eaten here has been great since the 80s. Mom and pop kind of place that just feels comfortable. Local and the closest spot to Vanderbilt beach besides the Ritz. Parking can be a hassle during season. However, you can take a shuttle there or walk from the parking garage. You can pull up in your boat, which is always fun. Stop for a drink or take lunch Togo. Family friendly. My son has been getting the coconut shrimp for 10 years lol. Yet he still loves coloring on the kids menu. No fish on the kids menu but the appetizers work well for him. The reuben is fantastic, and so are the salads. They have frozen drinks and well mixed drinks."
