Delicious topping & sauce. Highly recommend. They come 2 per order and they split them on plates for us since we just wanted a snack (only went in for a drink). The onion rings were also way above average, crunchy and delicious! Austin the bartender is really sweet and keeps the customers happy. Enjoyed sitting at the bar so he could serve us again. Don't recommend going on a holiday weekend though. What were we thinking? Well the beach had no parking and the streets were very busy. Glad we found a place to park at the pink elephant. We just wanted a little beach outing for vow-renewal "anniversary." Wink. Probably going again soon on our engagement anniversary!

The waitress took our order and besides being served our food from the runner, we didn't see our waitress again. My friend who has an allergy was served the wrong food and we never received refills on our drinks, water, etc. The food was good. Presented nicely and pretty good portions. I finally had to get up and go find our waitress inside at the end to get our check to leave. Would have loved to have a good experience. May try one more time.

If you're looking for that true Florida coastal vibe, South Beach Bar & Grille is one of those…read morespots that just hits different Right on the beach, with the sound of the waves in the background and a perfect sunset view--it's the kind of place where you don't rush. The seafood is fresh, simple, and exactly what you want after a day by the water. Their fish & chips were crispy, flavorful, and done right, and everything just tasted like it belonged there. What really makes this place special isn't just the food--it's the atmosphere. Relaxed, unpretentious, and genuinely enjoyable. You can come in sandy, sit back, and just enjoy the moment. It's not about being fancy--it's about good food, ocean air, and that laid-back beach feeling you don't find everywhere. Definitely a spot worth stopping at if you're anywhere near Boca Grande.

I took my 90 yr old mom to south beach bar and grill for lunch. I wanted to get her out of bed and…read moreto see some of the beautiful sites that she always loved. She's 90 pounds and can barely walk. We arrived and I had her with her walker slowly behind me. As I was approaching the host station an elderly man very ru says that I can't bring that in here. I'm confused and thinking he was talking about her walker. As the rudeness continues he finally says that my soda can. As it's pretty much empty I offered to take it to the table to be thrown away. I didn't want to leave it there at the welcome station that had no apparent trash can. I'm thinking germs! He then proceeded to tell me to go somewhere else to eat, those are the rules ect and I'm still baffled by the way he was talking to me as if I'm a criminal and unlawful. I'm baffled that I could be treated so rudely. I obviously didn't want to take her somewhere else as the hour is so important as that's all the energy she has. He could have been welcoming, kind and stayed the drink and I would obliged easily. Instead I was humiliated and disrespected We had a nice waiter and food was fine but as we were leaving the other waitresses on review had apparent chip on their shoulders as well. As if they didn't want to be bothered. I havent been to the restaurant since had reopened and I certainly won't be back! Customer service needs to address this issue!!!!

We loved our drinks, and were all drooling over our dinners and still talking about it days after how good it was . Portions are large and everything is so delicious and fresh. I got the tuna that was to die for! Make sure you get a reservation because even though it is a big restaurant it gets filled up quickly. Be sure to stop at the bar in the front for a night cap :) thanks for a great night helping me celebrate my 30th!
