    Patty melt
    Carol S.

    We drove into Fort Meyers beach and had no idea where to eat. Junkanoo showed us it was the closest restaurant where we were so we gave it a try. It's outside. Under umbrellas. A really pretty spot. I ordered a patty melt and my husband ordered a hamburger. Everything was delicious! A good find

    Coconut shrimp

    Four stars for the ambience and three stars for the food. First time to their new location after the old place was destroyed on Fort Myers Beach. We loved the ambience of the old place as it was classic old style Fort Myers Beach. The new location is on the other side of the island And offers very nice patio views of the marina and the boats that come and go for lunch as well as for tours. We had coconut shrimp as an appetizer and a chicken sandwich wrap. The out of the box coconut shrimp were OK but not nearly as good as the homemade ones at coconut jacks. The chicken sandwich wrap was also OK but nothing to get excited about. The new location is all about the location and it was a very pleasant lunch experience to sit on the deck under an umbrella with a nice breeze and enjoy the boat traffic. Enrique our server was outstanding.

    Not super impressed. Took us quite a while to put in our order and get food (they were fairly busy, though). We told the server that we had a boat ride scheduled in 30 minutes and she assured us that was plenty of time to get nachos out to us. Notsomuch. They came with about 6 minutes to spare, so we inhaled them. They were cold and soggy, as if they had been sitting around for quite some time before being served. I asked for one more little container of sour cream (each had about 1 tablespoon sour cream, and only 1 container came with the nachos), and she let us know it costs an extra $1 and won't come out any time soon. Uh...ok, then never mind. The server was nice enough, but she was also the bartender and had a lot going on. I will say that their 32 oz drink bucket was very good and worth the price. The view was outstanding. This place wasn't terrible, but I wouldn't make an effort to return.

    Located in the Snook Bight marina area just behind Publix. Very convenient/easy/free parking. Went midday & enjoyed the ambiance. Feels like vacation. Nice sitting by the water watching boats come in & out. Several boats full of people tried to dock for lunch but it was full so beware if u expect to arrive by boat that docking is limited. Have corn hole, which was fun. Seating options r bar or tables - we chose a table. Server was difficult to understand due to thick accent, but very nice & attentive. Menu is generic Sysco bar food. Don't expect gluten free options or knowledge from staff on food ingredients. Burgers, tacos on flour tortillas, pizza. They do have a gf pizza option, but didn't try that. Burger was meh. Fries r the battered type. Patty melt was good. Truffle fry upgrade not worth it. Their food is no worse than other fmb lunch places, but If they could improve their food quality, it would make a huge difference. We would return due to location, convenience & generally relaxed vibe, but might just go for drinks.

    I wish as I write this review I could remember our servers name. I think Miguel but not sure. He was hilarious! A great seller and just easy to talk to even though I mis understood him and thought the drink bucket was $50 instead of the normal $15. It was delicious too and like he said more economical than my husband and I to order separate cocktails. We enjoyed the beginning of happy hour and ordered off that menu. The spicy shrimp was tasty but could use some more sauce. Grouper bites were good and the serving of fries was huge. We came by boat and ate by the water. Fun casual atmosphere.

    We were told about this place from a person staying at our resort. Glad they did. It was really good! I ordered the fried white fish sandwich with fries. My husband ordered the grilled white fish sandwich with fries. Both were really tasty. For dessert we got the key lime pie. We hope to go back here while we are vacationing in the area.

    Dumbest seating rules based on if you are having drinks,appetizers or a meal. Guess they don't need the buisness.

I love that the space is open air but covered - a much needed break from the sun and wind at the beach. Their high-top chairs and tables are comfy and casual. First things first: always order a marg the second you sit down! I opt for their classic frozen one. Can't beat it. Service here is kind but busy - they always seem stretched a bit thin and things can take a bit, but we've had great servers and aren't in a hurry. Their food menu here is priceyyy - what can you expect from a beachside spot. And the portions are huge, and it's near-impossible to keep leftovers at the beach. So we usually opt to share two things as a group of 4: the nachos (MASSIVE) and some shrimp (great shareable). We like the shrimp in sauce served with bread - such good flavor! Their bathrooms are always impeccably clean and nice, and I love the adirondack chairs out front. We'll be back, of course!

He fell, bleeding everywhere (sober by the way) and the staff and management team HID inside during this fiasco while retired 80 year old firemen tried to bring him back to safety. I walk inside for a bag of ice and hear the manager/owner/whoever is on the clock saying "what do they expect sitting that close to the edge of the patio" and "crap, what do you think they are gonna do about this?"- last I checked, we didn't place their tables in their establishment and if they were worried about retaliation, maybe a staff member should have checked on us. Instead - not one staff member, owner, manager, asked if he was okay. We were all immediately given our tabs to avoid confrontation and they ushered us out as soon as possible to hope to avoid conflict. Glad this staff and owner care about their community. I expect more. Don't EVER give this establishment your money - and if you do, be sure To sit inside JUST IN CASE.
