Two visits at Johnny Longboats. Walking distance from Marriott Ocean Point- about 15 minutes each way. Breakfast was good! Enjoyed my lattes and mimosas! read more

Met up with some friends at Johnny Longboats after the beach today and sat at the bar. I ordered the fish and chips, but swapped the fries for coleslaw. I was surprised when the fish came out because it had a slight pinkish tint to it. I honestly don't ever remember the fish being anything but white. It tasted okay--not great--but I was hungry, so I ate it anyway. Walter very attentive. I believe there are new owners, and I've noticed that both the quality and the portions seem to have gone downhill. That's really disappointing because Johnny Longboats has always been one of those good local places I've enjoyed. It's still a nice, casual spot to grab a drink and something to eat, especially after a day at the beach. I'll probably still go back, but I guess I just need to lower my expectations a little. read more

Johnny Longboats - Fish and chips - Seafood Near Me - Riviera Beach, Florida

We had the fried oysters. They were kinda fishy tasting. Not the best. The crab stuffed shrimp was good but not great. The bbq ribs and chicken wings were very good. Service was NOT good. Our waitress kept going off in a corner to talk with one after another person. We had to hunt her down after waiting 20 minutes for our check. This was after going to find her to ask for take out containers and asking for our check. The restaurant has a cool decor and a lot of TV's for sports watching. They do have air conditioning, which is nice. We'll probably skip coming here next year. read more

Let's talk about french fries, because at Johnny Longboats they used to be the whole point. The sandwiches are genuinely good, but that was never really the draw. The draw was knowing that no matter what you ordered, the fries were going to be great. That was the Saturday afternoon promise after a paddle to Peanut Island. Not anymore. The fries have been swapped for generic frozen ones that taste worse than fast food, and honestly, worse than what you'd get at a $6 burger joint. They are unseasoned & like plastic.... When you're paying $22+ for a sandwich, the fries used to be the reason you kept coming back. Right now they're the reason people are second guessing coming in the first place....As a local and as a loyal patron, thats sad & unfortunate. There are some items on the menu that have remained reasonable like the French dip sandwich for $19, but the last time I got it, the quantity of meat felt reduced by a third so whether they reduced the prices or the quantity, they have made some major changes in the last month or two. The pricing changes make it sting even more. The grouper bites, once a happy hour favorite at $8.99, are now on the main menu at $18.99. Side salads went from $11.99 to $15.99, and add a protein and you're suddenly paying $26-$34 for what is still, technically, a side salad. Meanwhile Ocean Avenue just opened down the street with a scratch kitchen, fresh cut fries, and house made juices, quietly raising the bar for the whole island. Johnny Longboats used to be our automatic answer for where to go after a beach day. Right now it's a hard sell, and it all started with the fries. read more

Johnny Longboat's has been a tradition for us since we bought our first Marriott Vacation Club points in 2010. We have visited JLB every time we're in Palm Beach Shores at least once, usually multiple times. In the past, we have enjoyed their happy hour. They've offered very well priced drinks and appetizers. The happy hour appetizers included a variety of seafood appetizers. The choices were reduced and not very well priced this time. They have some daily specials. My husband noticed a sign that said "oysters, a bulk a hulk." He didn't notice the word "Wednesday " at the top in much smaller print. It was a Thursday and our 6 oysters cost $20.99. We each got 2 happy hour well drinks and shared 6 oysters and an order of fried oysters and the total cost was $75. The clincher was when I noticed they charged us for using a credit card. We live in a cashless society. I won't eat at restaurants that charge for credit cards. read more

Good stuff!! Perfect for the travel and tourist crowd. I got the mahi mahi reuben with the fish blackened... it is THE meal I'll associate with this trip for the rest of my life, I think. The fries were good, the Diet Coke was cold. But the mahi mahi reuben... it was so good. A lot of meat on the sandwich but I finished the whole thing! My man got the stuffed shrimp, onion rings, and the Caribbean rice. All good but not as show-stopping as the reuben. Just a heads up: some meals come with sides even though it's not listed on the menu. read more

Johnny Longboats - reuben with blackened mahi mahi - Seafood Near Me - Riviera Beach, Florida

Eaten here a few times over the years ands it's always a bit of mixed feelings. Love the beachy theme and colors in the restaurant. However this place is inconsistent. Food one day is delicious, while next is super bland. This recent visit, food was pretty good. Mahi was delicious! But our service was not good. Took soooooo long for our waiter to take our orders, and he barely spoke to us and didn't check in until we were all done with our food and had been waiting for awhile. I say this all because your experience here genuinely is unpredictable. You could have a kitchen staff that's amazing...or not so much...you could have a server who's attentive and friendly... or not so much. It's a gamble, but despite the inconsistency, we will still return to eat here! read more

Nice beachfront restaurant, cool for after the day in the sun on the beach. Prices are reasonable. Had the "Flounder in a bag" ....I didn't like it, no seasoning...but I have been here before and other menu options are available. Wanted to try based on other's reviews...I will not be ordering that again read more

Still a fun place but prices have skyrocketed. Had 2 well drinks apiece, a half dozen oysters to share, and a happy hour order of 8 fried oysters. With tip $75. Probably done for this trip. Got good service at the bar top but unfortunately did not get the server's name. read more

This is a great corner restaurant with plenty of seating indoors and out. We sat outside and quickly got water and had a drink order taken. I was just getting over the flu and wanted something comforting and easy on the stomach so I settled on chicken quesadillas. The menu is extensive but these looked the perfect fit. They arrived looking good, but first bite told me I ordered the wrong thing. The chicken was spicy and I was afraid I would upset my stomach worse so didn't eat more than one bite. So disappointing as I hadn't eaten in 3 days and wanted something good. I double checked the menu and it did not mention spices in the chicken. The server never questioned why I hadn't touched my food when he took it away read more

$19.99. This morsel of a plate was $19.99. A dish so sad I wouldn't charge my worst enemy $19.99 for it. Johnny Longboats, why is this sorry appetizer $19.99? Not only was the portion size disrespectful, but it was also severely lacking flavor. Imagine canned chicken with a sprinkle of cheese and Frank's RedHot mixed in. Half a cup of mystery buffalo dip for $19.99 is absolutely criminal. I also had the JLB Caribbean Mahi Wrap and ordered it with 'vegetables' only to be told the vegetables were just green beans. That's fine, but there needs to be more transparency because 'vegetables' makes it sound like you have a mix of veggies. When my dish came out, the green beans were thrown loosely onto the plate like an afterthought, and my wrap was swimming in green bean water. It made the wrap so soggy I couldn't even pick it up. Y'all need to put that in a bowl, maybe the same tiny bowl y'all used for that sorry, paltry buffalo dip. read more

My experience was not good. Service was mediocre food just ok because on the water not the place to go my whole experience not good not coming back read more

Jonnny Longboat is a cool nautical pirate themed kind of place. I love the decor and I love the food. Tonight they had oysters on the half shell and I split an order of nachos with my wife. Everything is great from the rum buckets that we ordered to the service that we received and of course the atmosphere of the place. I just love it. They've got my vote for one of my favorite kind of places, can't wait to go back and eat again. read more

Great ribs, beach‑bar vibes, and a shark judging every bite. We're gonna need a bigger plate... maybe a bigger boat. read more

I'm giving Johnny Longboats a 3.7. Not quite a 4, but also not quite a 3. If you are going there it's because you're at the beach and want a fun atmosphere. The food is typical dive bar food. My husband had the special: lobster roll. It wasn't great. Lots of mayo. I had the Cabo wabo burger. That was pretty good. Just lacked salt. We sat at the bar. The service was decent. Again, don't come here thinking you're getting top of the line food. You're going for the atmosphere and the beach. read more

Great place to grab a bite on singer island. A wide variety of selections, so there is something for everyone.

1 star for service on Mondays & Tuesdays the daytime bartender wasn't not attentive at all she was pumping while working which to each is own but even the regulars at the bar said if they weren't creatures of habits they wouldn't come on these days either will post a separate review for my experience with other bartenders later in the week it's no wonder this place was a ghost town compared to other days I've visited read more

I was in Riviera Beach to do some SCUBA, so my group and I decided to come here for dinner after a long day of dives! There's plenty of parking and the restaurant is super spacious and ideal for large groups. Our waitress was a little spacey, but it was towards the end of the night and the place was still packed. She was kind enough to go back and replace an order she got wrong. I ordered a margarita and a shrimp quesadilla for my meal. The drink was pretty standard, not super heavy on alcohol. The quesadilla was delicious - a little oily, but loved the peppers, onions, and melty cheese inside! Overall. touristy place but decently prices and great menu options and accommodations for a large group. read more

I hadn't been here in a few years and was glad it was just as good. We brought my mom for her birthday weekend - we live about an hour away. She enjoyed her drinks and food. Service was really nice. We brought my 2 year old and they were very accommodating. I love the decor and the vibe as well. read more

We decide to check these guys out for dinner & drinks since they happen to also be one of the few places that's open a bit later. Drinks we had the Frozen mojitos, nice & refreshing good taste. Appetizers the Rib tips were very good, nice tasting sauce, really good garlic knots, buttery & good garlic taste. Food comes with A little side Salad was not bad, decent with the dressing. Main dishes I had the Shrimp scampi this was very good, good shrimp & pasta nice big dish. Hubby had the Mahi Mahi tacos w Mac & cheese, also good. This was way too much food made for great left overs the next day for lunch. Big place, fun decor our waitress was very nice & attentive, price wise reasonable & they give u good size food portions we enjoyed our drinks, food & time here. read more

Johnnys consistency in underwhelming has to be commended. I've eaten there a half dozen times over the 10 years we've been coming down to Singer Island and I can't say any meal was ever any good. This year's iteration was overcooked (thus dry) mahi fish tacos that included two small pieces of blackened mahi (ha! There was nothing blackened about them) on a giant tortilla that is typically used for a burrito. My son did love his chicken tenders so maybe the key at this seafood restaurant is to order white meat but my in laws Cesar salad and shrimp scampi were both incredibly overdressed. Sauce trying to make up for meh food Ambience is cool and my kids love the claw game. But I'd rather eat potato chips I buy at 7-11 than depend on Johnny for a good meal. read more

I'd rate it 3.5 stars but rounded up to 4 since there's no 3.5 option. The Chicken Kabobs were flavorful, with a nice teriyaki-style sauce, and the Shrimp Jambalaya was quite good as well--not spicy, which might appeal to some. The service during ordering and meal delivery was good, but the experience faltered slightly after paying. The server didn't thank us after we settled the bill, and using the electronic payment machine felt awkward as the waitress hovered nearby. It would be better if servers stepped away while guests are completing the payment, as is typical with traditional payment systems. Another note: they charge a 2.97% fee for credit card payments, which is worth keeping in mind. As for the ambiance, it was overall pleasant--not too loud, with a relaxed vibe. We were able to get a seat near sunset on a Thursday evening without much trouble, which was a nice bonus. read more

Excellent food with friendly staff. Alex took great care of us. I had raw oysters, a cup of crab soup and a mahi wrap. I prefer a little more mahi in the wrap but it was still delicious. I also tried a strawberry mimosa and a mango margarita with my brunch. I recommend this restaurant. All three of us thoroughly enjoyed everything. read more

Food was great. Had blackened shrimp tacos with sweet potato fries. Live country music was a little loud so it's hard to hear your friends chat above the noise. Our apps never showed up so we ended cancelling them. Our waiter was nice but the place seems understaffed for the amount of customers. The decor is Pirates of the Caribbean meets Jaws. Very cool for the beach. read more

We love Jonny Longboats! We always go there for a least one meal and drinks when we're visiting our Dad. It has a good menu, lots of options and it's super casual, perfect for an easy night out or a stop after the beach. They have really good cheeseburgers. The Beach wrap is usually our go to, we think it's delicious. We get it with the blackened chicken and it's really just such a good wrap. There's a large bar, high tops, booths and regular tables. I love the vibe of this place. read more

Love this place! It is a perfect dive bar. Their clams were so good my friends literally went back the next day and got them again! The place is full of funny signs and pirate statues and boat/ nautical decor. The menu is extensive and they can accommodate some dietary restrictions. It is a bit pricey but it is right on the beach, so that's fair. Staff is a pleasure. Bathrooms are ok. Parking is annoying but you can find it, you just may have to walk a little. They have bar specials, live music, so many good things. Plus, it is on a strip of other eateries so you can bar hop the day away. I like it here read more
