Service was great. Truly a florida local spot. Nothing fancy here. Shows the wear and tear of wind, rain, and hurricanes. Best scallops I've ever had. Fried Shrimp and scallops and nothing tasted greasy. Hubby had Broiled Mermaid and all was good there also. Outside live music and it was hopping. Prices were reasonable. read more

Updated Review I've waited years to finally try Baylor Inn. I'm only in town occasionally, and between hurricane damage and timing, I could never get in. This trip, I brought a friend and we finally made it. The food was a mix of excellent and not‑so‑great. The peel‑and‑eat shrimp were absolutely delicious, the mussels were great, and the fish sides were wonderful. Chicken strips were solid. The mushrooms, however, were not enjoyable at all in my opinion. The building has a lot of old Florida charm, but it's definitely due for a thorough update. One thing that concerned me was the warm ketchup sitting on the table -- sauces that can spoil should really be brought out fresh with the meal. The staff I interacted with were fantastic -- very kind, well‑mannered, and quick with service. I've read some concerning things about how the manager treats people, so I'm grateful I didn't have any encounter with him during my visit. The band outside was extremely loud, so we chose to sit indoors, but at least there are options. Watching the alligators in the swamp below was definitely entertaining. The place is huge, but the entrance is confusing, and I had to ask where to go. Overall, I can see where improvements are needed, but I can also appreciate the charm and history of the place. read more

We ordered pill and eat shrimp as an appetizer then for dinner had the softshell crab sandwich with onion rings and the fish stick basket with fries. Everything was very flavorful and the waiter was pretty cool. We sat outside on the patio deck next to the water and since it was getting cool it was very nice and peaceful. They were live music going on had a couple cocktails and a great sunset for dinner. read more

Good place to chill for a bit with a cold drink and enjoy the live music and vibe of the place. The service here is friendly and this is a good place to meet up with some friends. Overall, a good place. read more

I was supposed to meet a group from the YMCA, but I messed up the time. I was there anyway, so I figured I love this place. I'll have dinner. Great bartender and staff. I'm not great with names so I forgot his name, but he was a real nice guy. I was gonna have catfish again because I love it, but I decided on that all you could eat fried fish swai and steamed shrimp all you can eat. It was only $18.99 and I had two plates and it was delicious and it came with coleslaw. This is one of my favorite restaurants and it's close to home. You must try it either that or you're crazy for not going there either being a local or a tourist. They survived the two hurricanes from 2024 and made a comeback after 6 feet of water!!!!! read more

Megan was our server and she was excellent very personable. As she took our order she noted that one in our party had the same phone cover. She really took good care of our party of 6. And the food was served hot. Tasty gator nuggets, garlic Parmesan wings, cod sandwich with sweet potato fries and soap were all good. We ordered margaritas and were happy with the price...2 for $7.00 during happy hour. They also have live music, but we left before it started. There was a renovated motel next day that is part of Bayport Inn where vendors were quickly redoing while open for business. Was impressed that they totally redid the deck and restaurant after being devastated by the 2024 hurricanes. They reopened in December with all new tables, a completely renovated kitchen and new awning. read more

My husband and our good friends took me to Bayport Inn for my birthday dinner. The service was absolutely wonderful. The food was delicious. The ambience was great! One thing I need to mention is that their iced tea is $4.25 a glass. In my opinion that is way too much. Also something you need to remember is that if your order comes with french fries they give you the option of either getting sweet potato fries or something different but they don't tell you that it's a two dollar charge to switch. So be careful changing or adding this and that. We never had to ask for a refill our waitress checked on us very often, made sure everything was OK, brought us extra things when we needed it. The clam strips were very fresh and I really enjoyed the sweet potato fries. The food is very good very fresh and very well prepared. If you haven't tried Bayport Inn, I highly recommend you give them a try. It's a very lively place and depending on the time you get there, it can either be quiet or loud because there's so many people. Definitely give them a try. Not enough handicap parking spots. You can park in their private space or across the street in the grass. read more

This restaurant is huge. We had a large party and this was a great place. The place is decorated in a nautical theme. Our server was amazing. She covered our 15 person table and didn't miss anything . I got the all you could eat fish . It was crispy and fresh. I only ate the first plate. It was plenty. My salad was fresh with good dressing. My wife got the mahi that was seasoned perfectly crispy. It was moist and fresh . Her onion rings were crispy. I tried some of the shrimp that was steamed. They were tender . My Cole slaw was very good also. read more

I'm an out of towner. My parents took me here for dinner as it was one of their favorite spots. Not anymore. I ordered the fried shrimp. They were way over cooked abs tasted terrible. My parents got the fish basket and the chicken tenders. The fish looked like fish sticks you would buy at the store, also way over cooked. The chicken tenders looked like they were from a public school cafeteria. Our waiter was very nice and accommodating when I told him my meal was inedible. read more

Manager now is horrible and talks to customers very disrespectful. All he did was charge more like he thinks it's a 5 star restaurant. So far from the truth. Everyone left and will not support this manager. Owners really did not do a great job hiring someone who knows what he is doing. Leaning on the bar with his vape and stinky dog doesn't make you a manager. Gross!! read more

Live music, good people, this place is very Florida. Good food, fast service. My friend enjoyed the drink special.

We were there today for Sunday Funday. Band was just awesome. Totally entertaining! Food was delicious. Servers went above and beyond Will be Back! read more

The best coconut shrimp ever! Great vibe. Big portions. I am a coleslaw connoisseur and a give theirs an 8

Best seafood in our area and we have lived here for 46 years !!! Bayport is our place for good fried shrimp and their cocktail sauce is fabulous and hot with horseradish. love it. We have never been disappointed with anything served there !! read more

We lived in Spring Hill for 10 years before moving a year or so ago. We always loved going to the Bayport Inn, especially for the AYCE shrimp or fish specials. My wife also enjoyed the whole-fried-fish option. Casual environment, good location. Music on weekends. Our go-to place when visitors were in town. Nothing like it here in Las Vegas :-( read more

Fantastic spot to grab a delicious grouper sandwich! The red snapper fingers were also excellent. Thanks to Kiera for amazing service!!!

Friendly staff. Food is not great. I won't go back. The food has a weird taste to it. Disappointed.

I took my neighbor for Christmas lunch. The shrimp was room temp and crunchy like it was fried twice. Not good. read more

We love Baylor Inn, the wait staff is always so friendly, the food is always delicious, and we love the outdoor sitting area. I mean, you're in Florida, why sit anywhere else? A lot of times they have entertainment, live bands or Karaoke. It's just a nice relaxing place to be. read more

Bayport Inn is definitely the locals favorite seafood joint in the area as four different people directed us here when we randomly asked people where to go for lunch. Situated at the dead end of HWy 50 Cortez Blvd on the water, we were greeted by a old rustic wood inn with a great large open patio on the water. Seafood Focused menu was heavily skewed to fried options, a few could be broiled, but not many, and an Italian section of standard items and prime rib & 2 chicken items was also available. Friday's they have all U can eat fried shrimp or cod which was the most recommended item by locals we talked to as best value. For appetizers, we ordered steamed clams which was a plate full of tiny, underwhelming Manila clams and a good portion of six large, but relatively tasteless, heavily breaded crab stuffed mushrooms. Since I was limited to fried fish with cod (unexciting) or grouper ( have that all the time in Florida) being only fish offered as broiled, I chose the plate of 3 soft shelled crabs which were ample and nicely crispy. My wife had the fried cod which she described as OK. Adding 2 draft beers and a good tip strictly for the good friendly and helpful service the bill came to $100 which struck us as high for an essentially mediocre meal. read more

A group of ladies from my community decided to come for lunch at this wonderful place, and I was so happy that they are still serving wonderful meals in a picturesque location. Unfortunately because our group was large we ate in a private room without any large windows to look at the view. However my favorite is still on the menu - soft shell crabs! I ordered the sandwich that has two crabs with French fries and coleslaw, but asked for a small house salad instead of the fries. Everyone's food came out quickly, and a wonderful basket of cornbread was also brought out for everyone to enjoy. The only improvement is that the cornbread could be heated up a bit. My crabs were delicious, and my seat mate also enjoyed hers as well. This place delivers great quality food in a picturesque setting. read more

Service 5 out 5. Tyler was a delight. Attentive and pleasant. Prime rib spot on! I venture to say better than real 5 star restaurants! Don't tell this to the non Floridians... keep this our secret read more

Love the view of the shoals. Shrimp is fried just right. Very affordable alcohol. They have live music almost daily. Old Florida vibe. As an old Floridian, I appreciate it. read more

The soft-shell crab sandwich was excellent. The bartender was friendly and provided great service.

Food was delicious , drinks were great and the Sunday jam session was awesome! Loved their all you can eat shrimp. It was done well and not greasy read more

Always a great time! I came here for a wedding once and now live nearby. The view is immaculate - the BOGO margaritas are amazing and the peel and eat shrimp is sooooo good. Must come! Service is decent at the bar! read more

Friendly, capable staff. Both good indoor and outdoor seating options. Largest Philly cheese I think I've ever seen at a neighboring table. We started with oysters, expensive but good. We made a huge mistake in ordering the $28 "broiled mermaid." Minuscule portion that seemed insulting as we watched heaping plates of all you can eat shrimp parade by for half that price. Bottom line, if it's not fried or a Philly cheese sandwhich, don't order it here. read more

The food was good. The oysters were fresh and cleaned well. Service was a little slow but doable.

Their fish fry, Prime rib, Crab patties, just to mention a few, all very good. We always bring out of town quest they too love their dinners. read more

Wow Bayport is up and running. What a fabulous meal we had the Bayport supreme excellent all of the food we ordered was cooked perfectly. Our server was excellent and we always love the atmosphere. Give Bayport a try. read more

This place has been my go to place since 1997, today may be my last visit. I don't know if I have ever used the word terrible on a restaurant. The salad was brown, limp lettuce, tomatoes were not ripe and hard. We ordered 3 side salads and 2 we delivered we had to ask the waitress where is the third salad. I ordered the Scallops and Shrimp over breaded and greasy. The sweet potato fries were stuck together and cold. I was sure the restaurant had changed management or has been sold. read more

Waitress was attentive and polite. Service was fast and timely. Ambiance was what I expected for the area and the outside set the tone, causal. Now, the food was terrible in our opinion. Mushrooms stuffed with crab? No... stuffed with breadcrumbs, tasteless. The New Eng Chowder had a speck of clams. Which is odd, clams are inexpensive. Crab cakes (dinner) if that's crab it must have been flown in from somewhere there isn't very good crab. Hey! The Diet Pepsi was delicious! So, what could improve? The food! Waffle fries were cooked beyond recognition. Crab? Was it crab? Do yourself a favor and go to a different restaurant. read more

Food, service and ambiance! We went on Thursday, all u can eat shrimp and prime rib were both perfect!

The service and food were so good we came back the next day ... ask for Giovanni . Oh and the portions are huge too !

Fun restaurant with inside or outside seating. Pretty busy and most people seemed pleased. I had calamari appetizer, then a burger and onion rings. Food was all good. No complaints. Service was good. I would go back for sure. read more

Atmosphere and cleanliness = filled with loud drunks and dark ...half the bulbs burnt out and dirty dark atmosphere - Yuck Service = ugh - subpar Food = not so good none of us could really say we liked what we ordered. Obviously only busy because was only place around ..should have waited the 10 mins to go eat by highway. Instead of the 45 mins for our food. And another 20 for the bill to leave. Only allowed for 2 stars because seems May be a fun place to sit around drinking... Ok had to come back and edit the review... Been up sick all night after eating there .... Will never return...... I have an iron stomach and literally I thin 2 yelp reviews ever made....and for me to complain....takes a lot.... But it deserves knowing for others read more
