A great menu and relaxed vibe. We'll definitely be back.
Susan D.

I've passed this place 1000 times. What a mistake! What a cute restaurant with an island vibe. The service is fantastic. The food is terrific too. We had the fish sandwich and it was gigantic and delicious. The fries were smoking hot and fabulous, and I'm not a waffle fry fan. The patio is adorable. The indoor dining room is cute and the a/c cranks out cold air. There's a full bar with a limited wine list. We won't pass it a another 1000 times ever again.

Offending pet?

Always excellent service the guys are always on it. Food always good satisfied my hot dog craving! Only negative for me it's a big kid place. People don't watch their little brats so they come next to our table and stare at us.. if I wanted dinner with little kids I would have brought my own.. kidding I don't have any! My hubby told me good thing I don't have any I wouldn't be a good mother. No shit!

Chicken taco special with black beans and Yankee nachos

Great atmosphere! The kids loved being out in the rain while we relaxed after our lunch. Covered out door area with tables. Corn hole for when it's dry. Food was excellent and the beer was cold and fresh

Was drawn to this cute little restaurant by its look. Tucked under palm trees with a really cool patio in the back and beach patio on the side. They played a great beach type selection of music. Unfortunately, because they were serving a private party, we weren't able to get seated in the back patio. Instead we chose the side patio which is cute but noisy from the U.S. 1 traffic. We started our dinner by sharing a bowl of the lobster bisque. Couldn't find any lobster but the soup was thick and tasty. We then moved on to the fried shrimp and the fried clam dinners. The shrimp was the winner here but neither dish was special. Not bad but simply not special. The waffle fries side was a different twist. We also tried Cajun rice and black beans. All were ok but nothing special. Service was excellent with just the right attention. If you're interested in a cool setting and great music and are ok with simply ok food you'll enjoy this place.

Fried fish platter

What a cool, casual spot to have a great lunch. The restaurant reminded me of being in the Keys. The decorations and atmosphere made it possible. I enjoyed my lunch here. The staff was friendly and the food service super fast. I was happy. I got the clam chowder and loved it. It tasted great and it was nice and crunchy. I then ordered the Crunchy Fish Platter. This was a big meal. The fish filets were a good size. It came with two sides. The onion rings were really good, everything was very good. The restaurant is cute inside. It has weekly specials and it is kid friendly. It is divided into three sections. One in the back, one inside air-conditioned with a bar, and one area open in the front. The front area has a kid's mini golf area. The atmosphere is great here. The restaurant had a big parking lot. The place was easy to find. I had a good meal and I liked the place.

Coconut Shrimp Wrap $13.95 (special) - came with 2 shrimp lol

I've been here a couple of times and the food is pretty consistent. Not sure it's the highest quality of seafood but it's pretty tasty! I love how they always have specials, that's the menu I usually order off of. The portions are pretty large, especially the kids fish fingers! My kids loved playing on the little green, it kept them entertained for quite a bit. Overall great spot!

We had lunch here. We sat inside as it was so hot the day we came here, and they were busy with every seat taken at every table. When we left, we noticed that the outside tiki area in the back was also filled with patrons. There is a large convenient parking lot right outside the free-standing building. The signs on the side of the restaurant and out front are hard to miss. As hot dogs are their specialty that is what we ordered. They were promoting their fried fish, however, which turned out to be Swai (Vietnamese catfish) which the server inaccurately described as "like grouper"(!). My husband had their Chicago dog topped with all sorts of stuff along with a side of waffle fries. it was okay. The fries were good. I had their chili dog. We both got the larger/longer hot dog. The menu says they are all beef. I asked for my hot dog to be well done and it was split on the grill -- which was exactly like I prefer it done. The hot dogs were fine. Service was acceptable although the gal stopped to have a long discussion (about her tattoos) with another table that seemed to take forever. What we liked most about the place was that they were casual, and the hot dogs were reasonably priced.

In Stuart for a pre-holiday weekend and had to stop for a hot dog. We were among the first diners before lunch crowd started to arrive, so we had made our selections and enjoyed our soft drink beverages while we waited. The fun decor adorns the walls and the casual ambiance is relaxing. Our orders arrived, my Chicago Long dog looked and tasted great! The accompanying waffle fries were a hit as well. My wife had a Long Chili dog which she also enjoyed. If you are hankering for a good hot dog, this is the place and perhaps enjoy a beer with your meal!

Lobster  Night Yummy

Food Great, Service Great & Relaxing Place! We try to get here a couple times a month & never Disappointed

Hello everyone, yesterday I had the Maine Lobster with fries and corn on the cob. The lobster was so delicious and tasty. Our server was very nice and attentive. I highly recommend checking out Dune Dog. The waffle fries are so good too.

Blackened Mahi Sandwich $16.99 - large piece of fish
Clive V.

Stopped in for an impromptu lunch with my wife and daughter and we realized we should have brought our son too because he would have enjoyed the putt putt. We sat outside on a rainy day and ended up having to go to the other side because the tiki side leaked really bad but I'm glad we stayed because we had great service and great food. The food came out quickly and everything was fantastic. We ordered a kids meal for my 18 month old and she devoured the fries (but decided on my Mahi). We'll definitely be brining our son next time! Great family friendly place with reasonable prices. The menu has some seasonal items which I've got my eye on!

NOT a Chicago hot dog. Sigh
Don K.

First time to the Stuart location. Bellied up to the bar overlooking Fraziers Creek. The lush landscaping and tiki roof walled away the outside world and is an alcove of privacy. I ordered a cold draft beer and a Chicago hot dog. Their take on this classic is nothing close to an original; a foot long beef dog ($6.39) was cradled by a slice of buttered toast and topped with a couple dill pickle slices, celery salt and diced tomatoes and onions. While it was ok as some sort of a hot dog, I was disappointed it lacked the key ingredients for a Chicago dog. My wife's fried clam dinner ($16.90) satisfied a craving but was nothing over the top. Comes with a choice of two sides. The black beans, though, were rich and delicious. The cole slaw was good. Wait staff were friendly and responsive. As I recall from past visits, the chili dog was the better order.

First, let me start out by saying that Stevie was amazing. Very professional, very helpful,…read moreimpeccable service. You can absolutely tell that he has a ton of experience working in the food service industry. Our drink orders were perfect. Great martini delivered just as ordered. 5 stars. We are long-time Kyle G patrons. This was our first time at the Fish Grill. We came on a Tuesday. Upon arrival we learned about the Tuesday happy-tizer specials. We decided to try them in lieu of ordering off the regular menu. Our intention was to try as many of the happy-tizers as we could. Maybe that was our mistake. We will never know because after such a lackluster meal, we won't return. Here is what we tried: We ordered the mussels. Small, chewy, shriveled, over seasoned. Enough said. The shrimp and crab cake reminded me of my mother's salmon croquettes....not my favorite meal as a kid growing up. 2 half-dollar size patties served with a flavorful dipping sauce. They didn't taste like crab and they didn't taste like shrimp. A pan fried paste that tasted like whatever seasoning they used. The sauce couldn't save this for me. A textural turnoff. The dragon dynamite tuna was completely forgettable. The "crispy" rice was not crispy at all, the round discs could have been small, circular cut-outs of Wonder white bread. The tuna topping was more acidic than spicy. And I'm not really sure how you can mix tuna with spicy mayo and come up with a result that actually tasted as dry as the Sahara desert. The fish tacos were fresh, well cooked and well seasoned. They were served with luke-warm fries. Please note, the fish taco is not on the half price happy-tizer menu. The Tuesday appetizer menu is exactly the same as the appetizer menu every other day of the week.... We stopped after 3 disappointing items. Would it have tasted better on Wednesday when they were full price?

Had dinner here this evening and was an excellent experience…read more The service was absolutely on point, waiter was polite, friendly and professional. This is an upscale casual place (shorts, collared shirt). I had the swordfish Florentin which was excellent. There was a steak and shrimp meal order and I was told it was extremely tender meat and shrimp was perfect. I definitely recommend you try this place, you will not be disappointed.

We were meeting friends for dinner and they suggested Black Marlin as a place they have been wanting to try but have not had a chance. That sounded good to us as we got to try another new place. We arrived during Happy Hour which allowed us to enjoy reduced priced drinks and appetizers. For appetizers we ordered calamari and bam bam shrimp. The shrimp were excellent with the spice adding a nice flavor to the slightly crispy shrimp. (A national chain has shrimp like these but not as good) Calamari was good but not particularly memorable. For dinner my wife ordered the Citrus Crusted Salmon special. This dish was pan seared and served with a delicious mango remoulade. My wife said this is as good salmon as she's ever had. I agreed after trying the small piece she shared with me. I was really in the mood for grouper. It was only offered as a sandwich-not as an entree. I'm glad I stuck with that choice as it was also excellent. We had a great server who kept the drinks coming and continually checked on us. What's better than discovering a new restaurant and enjoying it with friends? Here's the real problem. We can't possibly stay long enough to revisit all our new favorites. We will definitely be back to Black Marlin.

Our server is super nice, funny, and honestly a fan favorite. She's always accommodating and attentive to everyone at the table, including my 5-year-old, which makes her feel special. We also tried the fries, the scallops, and the pistachio-crusted fish with key lime butter; all great. Overall, consistently good food and even better service. I heard the coke tastes flat but all other beverages are great and still 10/10. Ambiance is great, cool vibes.
