Nice place to sit & enjoy your meal outside on the huge deck...I had the grouper fish sandwich which was very good... Long island ice teas were great as well and packed a good punch for a good price!

Randy Wayne White is a genius! This place like his books just grab you by the collar and just keep hitting the go button, excellent food, people are great, the view is second to none.

My perfect vacation meal: frozen margarita , half pound of Yucatan Shake & Shuck Shrimp with the delicious bread on the side to dip in the sauce.

Dannielle Brun

Live music was fun, specialty drinks were good and the service was good. We had a large group and they handled us beautifully, including the kids!

You're missing out if you don't order the Yucatan shrimp ! The owner is a NY Times best selling author so we embraced some local culture (and pride) and bought a copy of The Man Who Invented Florida.

Anne Marie is a great bartender ! Shrimp and corn chowder is awesome. Clam chowder comes in second place, and third is the conch chowder . All good.

Their buffalo shrimp for an appetizer is great. Huge juicy shrimp ! Their cedar plank salmon is one of the best salmon I've ever had! Had to buy the mango salsa . Waitress could have looked happier.

The French bread here is insane. Crunchy on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside.

Jeff Marshall

Watch the dolphins play in the bay . Pass on the beach bread (over hyped) and fish tacos were just ok. The hogfish special was very good - go for that.
