    Dirty, slow, awful bagels. This place is far from a real bagel store... let alone a NY Bagel like they promote.

    She made it clear she was from NY and that their bagels "suck" and "aren't real NY bagels." Well, Susan, you're in Florida, not NY.

    This was my first visit and it's exactly the kind of place you want when you're craving no-frills,…read morefresh seafood. It's a cute little roadside shack that feels like it used to be someone's house. We went on a Friday night in March, there was a line, but we were seated right away on the outdoor sun deck. Super laid back, a little quirky, and the perfect setting to sit outside and get messy with seafood. Service was great. The staff works as a team and you can tell, everything moved quickly and everyone was helpful. Our main server was especially friendly and made great recommendations. The food is definitely meant for sharing. We split a dozen medium blue crabs, two dozen clams, gumbo, and a stone crab and shrimp special. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and reasonably priced for the quality. Nothing felt overpriced. Do not skip the key lime pie. It was the perfect ending. Overall, it's simple, casual, and really well done. I'd absolutely go back.

It's a cute small family owned and quaint place if you're in the mood for fresh seafood. (Most places in Charlotte County have frozen seafood and not fresh-always ask!!!) We were able to get a seat immediately and the wait staff was on top of everything and so friendly. My wife ordered the ceviche which was real good. Only thing to make it a little better would be to add some white fish to the recipe like most places do, but otherwise it was delicious. I had the fresh grill red snapper which was very good as well. Their sheaphead fish soup sample was very tasty, I will order that on next visit. Their coleslaw and corn was made to perfection. My wife is an excellent chef and for us to actually find a local place that was this good, was a wonderful experience. We will be back!

We waited about an hour on a Friday before spring break because we wanted a dockside seat! Worth it! 4 or 5 different brews on tap.. We sat outside & enjoyed the view--boats, gulls, & fish just steps away. We started with onion rings & fish dip. Both tasty. Hubby & son had the fried shrimp special with one side. Hubby loved his coleslaw (mayo based) & son's rice was a small portion. I had a grouper Rueben--delicious fish but not very ruebenish--no sauerkraut--coleslaw instead. Fries & pickle were crisp. You're supposed to toss your shrimp tails to the gulls! They catch them mid-air! All the staff was friendly & accommodating. A must stop spot!

We ordered an Arnold Palmer and a Ponce De Leon margarita, mozzarella sticks, shrimp basket, chicken fingers basket and (2) Florida orange cakes to go. Mozzarella sticks- average. Shrimp basket- good but tropical slaw was store bought with pineapple added. Chicken fingers- good not great, onion rings, good not great . Margarita- strong. Biggest problem- from 9-18 people just standing around talking, making staff walk around them. Other problems- some people just walk in past the front desk and just seat themselves ( the privileged). Total bill with tip $100 . Don't need to travel a half hour to just be ok. Won't be back.

It did get a bit sunny, but they brought out bar awning to keep things comfortable, which was a nice touch. Overall, a great spot--sorry locals, your hidden gem might not stay hidden for long!

Let me paint you a picture: the best part of a BBQ joint should never be the sauce but without it, I would've needed a search party to find any moisture in this meal. The burnt ends? Dry. The brisket ? Somehow drier. I'm starting to think Jay has a personal vendetta against moisture. I've had jerky with more tenderness. The wings weren't drowning in sauce because they were flavorful they were drowning because it was the only thing keeping them from turning to dust. Now here's where it gets truly unhinged: this place has been open since 2021 and sits at above 4 stars on Yelp. I don't know what's more shocking that, or Jay naming the this place after himself. Himself. That's the confidence of a man who has never eaten his own food. Save your money. Save your time. Honestly? Just fire up your backyard grill. You've got a strong shot at outdoing this place, and the worst case scenario is you learn something. Jay apparently didn't.

    Ryan's Sub and Sports Bar Review…read more Visit: On a Saturday afternoon, our group of seven decided to stop by Ryan's Sub and Sports Bar for a casual meal. We were seated in the front patio area, where Nicole, the only waitress on duty, promptly greeted us and took our drink and food orders. Service: Nicole provided attentive and efficient service, despite being the only staff member working on the patio. She managed our group's needs well, ensuring that our drinks and food orders were handled quickly and accurately. Food: We started our meal with appetizers and then moved on to our main courses. The food was excellent, featuring generous portions that were more than enough for everyone. The subs were so large that we split them between two people. The Cowboy Burger was especially impressive, packed full and piled high with toppings. The BBQ Pork was also very good and flavorful. All our food arrived hot and tasted fresh. We enjoyed everything except the Coleslaw, which was just average. Summary: This is a great place to stop by for a quick bite to eat. We sat outside, but the restaurant also offers a very nice indoor seating area. One thing to remember is that people are allowed to smoke on the patio, so if that bothers you, you may prefer to sit inside. Overall, I would give this place 4 out of 5 stars. Gulf Coast Terry
