What a great experience. My wife and I showed up around 815 pm looking for a late dinner. We were…read moregreeted presently and we never felt rushed.

They are dog friendly, which is a plus. Outdoor seating is covered, but there is also a yard area…read morewith uncovered picnic tables and a doogy waste station. It's my understanding they recently got new owners, and the menu and prices have definitely changed. We used to love the cheap mimosas - and the variety of flavors offered. I saw online that their brunch was going to be available until 1 on the weekend, but apparently that has since been scratched off on the menu and their breakfast options are only available until 11. I did enjoy the adult iced coffee ($11) and basic mimosas/bloodys are currently $7, so not too bad. My bf was not a fan of the bloody Mary. The food items increased a bit to more FL standard prices (~$14-15) and the food was still just okay. As a note- They do Not have real syrup, just the log cabin stuff. Additionally, service seemed a bit confused and details from the menu did not match exact to the till so you may want to pay attention to the bill, these may just be growing pains that will resolve over time and we will try it again in the future.

This is the second oldest building in the area. They can tell you the whole story on the shanty…read morethat is the oldest. This stands as a bar and restaurant, an old ice house. It's pretty good! It's always packed. I've been a couple times for drinks, never for food. The food looks amazing though; standard pub fare. They have a short cocktail list and I've discovered that it doesn't change. The bartenders can typically make what you want even if it's fancy. Plenty of seats at the bar, in the bar area, or in their dart hall. They have dart leagues throughout the week. Lately they started this new trivia thing, which is fun. Service is good. Drinks are great. Check it out if you're in the area. Nice people. Always good conversation.

First time here, and I've got to tell you it was not a good experience. My poor spouse went home…read morehungry due to very poor food and service. Drinks (Iced tea and water) took over 20 minutes to arrive, food took over 45 minutes to arrive and when it finally did my dish (Cod) was served cold because waitress (Brittany) was too busy inside with her tables to bring our food to our table. My spouses Chicken soup was served cold and clumpy and not soup consistency at all. Now we know why this place had so many mixed reviews. We may try again in future however this put literally a bad taste in our mouths. Positive: Ambiance was cute Negative: Food and drinks took too long to be delivered Negative: Food cold, not edible Negative: Overworked and Unfriendly waitress

The ambiance is kind of old school southern and was comfortable. Our server, Athena, was very nice and pleasant. She checked back multiple times to make sure we were good. We ordered the Crab cakes with a side of mac & cheese, and the Gumbo. Both were outstanding! The flavors were excellent and the food was hot and delicious. I would rate the mac & cheese as middle of the road, better than some but not as good as others. There was live music with a trio playing, which we really enjoyed. Overall, I would give them 8.5-9 out of 10.

Hard to decide between breakfast or lunch but I was craving a burger. Cheeseburger it is!! It was ok. It appeared to be a frozen Patti. Cooked ok but nothing special. Deb had the chicken salad sandwich with a side of tomato bisque. Just ok as well. People were very friendly and a lot of locals. People were being called by first names. Vibe was nice but don't think we would come back out here.

The American cheese looked and tasted like the plastic wrapped slices. The sausage in the omelet tasted like frozen pizza sausage the eggs were overcooked and dry.

Service was okay, the lady was friendly and didn't disappear. Good selection of foods but deep-fry heavy. The salad came with all ingredients separately laying on the plate, so I had to try mixing it without letting items fall off the plate (didn't work). The add on fish was severely overfried and tasted more like a jerky. Mahi tacos weee good. Wine comes in plastic "glasses". Views - 5, seats comfort - 3.5, service - 4, food - 3.5, cleanliness - 3.5. Average ~3.7, had to roll it up to 4 as Yelp doesn't allow decimals.

To the wandering hungry person - this place looks delightful. Outdoor seating vibes are high…read more Seating is available inside if you'd prefer. Pina colada is 10/10, creamy, delicious robust drink.... My husband ordered a grouper sandwich and when it arrived he was shocked at the overall size of the fish. For 25$ I would highly recommend not ordering this. Both size and taste were underwhelming. I had the bang fish tacos and they shrimp was delicious... but again we wanted more! You get two large tacos filled with shredded lettuce and tomato's and 3 tiny shrimp. Both of us got the coleslaw for a side and it literally tasted like slaw with mayo... and nothing else. Would I come back? Definitely for the Pina colada!

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!

Regulars pull up their boats to the small floating docks. Others arrive by car and parked in the unpaved lot or on the side of the dirt road. The thatched tiki added to the Old Florida charm. I bellied up to the bar outside. The weather was perfect for it. I started with a half dozen snots on a rock. Plump and slightly briny. A good choice. My single crab cake appetizer was too much cake and not enough crab. The remoulade sauce was unnecessary. I added another starter of their Captains Catch chowder. Had everything they promised but far too starchy.Service was quick from the two barkeeps. The highlight of this place is the journey and destination no matter how you get there. I imagine other items on the menu are deserving of accolades but what I tried just wasn't quite there.

My husband ordered the "Beef on weck" (not sure on the spelling), and he really enjoyed it--added a little horseradish and called it a win. 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!

I've never seen anyone do this!?? Help me out here! If you don't want pets, just say so, service animals only! I ended up leaving your establishment never to return!
