Get in early if you're coming for dinner , the patio view and atmosphere is worth the wait and if you're not sure what to get the lobster tacos are out of this world!
The lobster roll was fabulous! I had the chili and a salad which was also so yummy! We got to watch a manatee while having lunch ???? service was perfect! View was even better!
The Grouper is amazing! Try it fried and with some blackened seasoning sprinkled on it. The sauce is also good for French fry dipping .
Shrimp and grouper bites are amazing. Bread service very tasty. Make reservations for sure and if it’s not dark sit outside otherwise get bit up by mosquitoes.
have a grouper sandwich and side of monkey flavored cheetos! i'm sitting over next to the downstairs bannister with my ukulele making music and taking bacon off serving trays while nobody's looking
This place is wildly popular and for good reason. They are so thorough with cleaning every table and the food is phenomenal. I recommend the fish tacos and the coconut shrimp salad
ALL of the food including the non seafood choices are amazing! Quick seating too! We were told it was an hour wait and only waited 20 mins! Definitely worth it!
The red snapper and sea food linguini are both very delicious. Sit outside in the evening w/ Angela as your server! She was so accommodating and helpful!
I highly recommend the Grouper Bites (under appetizers ). I get those with fries as a full meal, for amazing flavor at a decent price! (they are like chicken fingers , but with very fresh grouper ).
The grilled grouper sandwich was perfect. The cook on the fish was spot on. I will be back!
Great food and beautiful views ! Highly recommend sitting up on the 2nd floor.
Absolutely fantastic food. We had an awesome view of the water and the quality of the food , service and price was outstanding. High recommend.
Awesome fish tacos (go blackened) and the soaps (lobster , spicy and chowder ) all good choices. Excellent setting, great service.
I had the fish and chips and they were average. My wife had the seafood pasta and she liked very much. Service was great and it had a view .
Fresh salad , awesome lobster roll & fish & chips . Great service and view .
Citrus grouper and sea scallops . To die for.
Sautéed grouper , double vegetable and CEASERS salad with anchovies , topped off with key lime pie ! Makes for a great evening
+1 for the Fried Grouper Tacos . Add in the fine view and attentive service and you have a great meal.
You pay for the atmosphere of eating outside on water! Not exceptional for the three days to get a reservation . Fish tacos were good!
Best seafood spot in LBK. Their lobster rolls and wraps are amazing.
Grouper and Red Snapper are good. The linguini is also delicious
The view is amazing and the seafood linguini was very yummy!
Call ahead seating is very helpful but make sure you call as close to 3pm as possible in the winter season ! Entire menu is fantastic!
Lobster Tacos , bread , Spicy Crab Soup and Key Lime Pie were absolutely wonderful.
If you want local fresh fish don't miss the grouper or red snapper ! Amazing!
They have great outdoor seating on the water. The food isn't amazing but I did well with a burger and a side salad .
The tacos are amazing. Especially the shrimp and lobster . Just the perfect amount of food
Great food! Try the Blackened Chicken Sandwich with Swiss Cheese and the sauce they give you on the side!
Lobster bisque and lobster tacos are off the hook man!
Great views and friendly service . Food was fairly good as well .
Lobster Rolls are great. Usually a wait for tables outside .
The lobster bisque is to die for.
