Deeeeee-licious. Fantastic service. Will be back! Don't let the outside affect your decision to enter as it almost did me. I'm not from around here so don't know "areas" safe or not. I was skeptical. All the reviews were great though! So I went! Oh, would I have missed out. Inside has a peaceful, island theme. Flavors were mouth watering. I loved watching a guy being in a bag of fresh fish maybe just caught? Oh yum! GO HERE! read more

The cracked conch is to die for and so far everything else I've had here has been wonderful. Looking forward to tonight's steamed clams and maybe lobster roll. read more

Always fantastic! Fresh and delicious and super nice people. All employees including the cook had masks on. I have been craving fresh fish and the pistachio encrusted mahi was perfect. So were my husband's fried scallops. We did take out but they are open for seating also. Great local business to support! read more

Great little spot with funky décor, fresh, fresh, fresh fish. Seared tuna, fried calamari, steamed clams, oyster shooters all excellent.

Looks like a little hole in the wall neighborhood spot. 'Excellent food and excellent service . Maryann was quick, warm and personable despite the fact they were extremely busy. I had a couple oyster shooters- very fresh ; hit the spot and the special salad- grouper again fresh and delicious. My husband ordered the Pistachio grouper sandwich. Fresh and very tasty. We will definitely go back! read more

Gave it five stars because there was nothing higher. Great food,service and fun! Having been meaning to stop here for 2 seasons and man am I glad I finally made it. It's very small but don't let the line put you off, it is worth the wait. One of the finest meals I've had in the Stuart Port Salerno area. Great selection of beer, wine and hot sauce. read more

Awesome awesome food! Maryann was great. Seafood Bisque was some of the best I've ever had. Highly recommend checking them out!

Good food, friendly service, very casual atmosphere. The have been around for a nice long time. The place is tiny but very nice. read more

King Neptune Restaurant - Grouper and onion rings!! - Seafood Near Me - Stuart, Florida

This place is great. The food is outstanding. Best conch chowder I have had. I would highly recommend.

This funky little diner serves up some good food! Three friends and I shared the fresh fried conch appetizer served with a tasty shrimp sauce along with a glass of Pinot Grigio. For dinner, I opted for jerk shrimp on creamy, cheesy grits. Boy, was that a tasty dish! Two of my friends had the blackened grouper. Everyone enjoyed their dinners! I would call the ambiance "funky diner"...tight, cute, nothing fancy, but clean. The service was good too. I would go back again. They have a happy-hour, all-you-can-eat peel-and-eat boiled shrimp that many might enjoy. read more

The Mahi, Shrimp(3), Scallop(2) and fries platter was very tasty, although the size of the Mahi, and the minimal number of Shrimp and Scallops would leave a hungry patron wanting. Nicely done Slaw, (small cup) was a nice addition. String Fries were nicely fried, but nothing special. Unknown Chardonnay at $7.50/glass was gouging. $2.50 drafts were fine. Conch chowder was a disappointment, and receives little thought from the chef. The Seafood Bisque is delightful. Bottom line is that for the tip included cost of just under $70, the portion of seafood was modest, the price of the wine was annoying, and the Conch chowder was way down on the list of local examples. Tasty, to be sure, a good value, not so sure. read more

I've had dozens and dozens of Grouper Reubens in my life. If this place didn't give me the best, it was top 3. Perfection.

Meh!! Was not impressed! I got the fried seafood platter and it was so over fried that you couldn't find any seafood inside the fried coating. Not my favorite place. Will not be back. read more

They switched tuna sources recently and my dinner companion threw it up immediately and was sick for a day. She has been there many times and loves it but is hesitant to return. My meal wasn't bad however my concern for her definitely spoiled it for me. Be wary of the raw food there. read more

Absolutely amazing. Growing up by the ocean up and down the east coast I've eaten some of the best and this place is a hidden gem. Awesome staff and even better food. Had the conch burger and the conch rivals anything I've had in the Bahamas. Who could want more? I suppose a Kalik beer, but no worries they have that too! read more

I love chill local spots like this, great people and great food. They have a really good grouper Ruben, I really enjoyed my blackened tile fish sandwich. Good french fries. Can't go wrong stopping in here read more

We came on a Friday night and were told the wait for 3 of us would be over an hour, encouraged and discouraged at the same time, because it is a quaint homey little restaurant with stand-outside- waiting room which folks did't seem to mind. We opted to go to another restaurant across the street and try King Neptune another night. Next night, tonight, my husband and I came about 5pm figuring our chances were better, they were. We were seated almost immediately. Mango bean corn tomato salsa and a small basket of tortilla chips kept us company while waiting to order and eat. On the recommendation of our server, we chose the seafood bisque over the conch chowder. It was terribly salty. Splitting the small cup, we did finish it all and upon her return the waitress asked if we were happy with the choice. I stated that it was tasty but a bit over salted. She came back a few minutes later to say that she agreed and was going to treat us to the key lime pie dessert to balance the salt with sweet. I like that. For dinner my husband ordered the 1/2 lb. plate of fried grouper served with coleslaw and shoestring french fries. Teetering between the half and full pound, turned out half was plenty. No issue with portion size as i have seen other reviewers take issue with. The grouper was light and delicious, perfectly fried and tasty with a dab of tartar. The coleslaw didn't seem to be an afterthought, it matched well and did not have that old-cole-slaw sogginess. My husband's meal was flawless. French fries were perfectly crisp. I had ordered shrimp scampi over linguine. 5 healthy sized shrimp over a good sized portion of well-prepared al dente pasta. The shrimp were a touch over cooked and the flavour was missing something, or more like missing everything. I was looking for a garlicky buttery light wine sauce and it just wasn't there. There were some peppers and maybe another veg that seemed to be afterthoughts, also not cut fresh for preparation of this entree and you could tell. I had two more fork turns of the linguine and left the plate otherwise untouched. Oh, oh, oh... the garlic bread served with this dish was a half of a hotdog roll. The OTHER server came to collect our plates and asked if i wasnt happy with tbe Scampi... i answered honestly and she offered to take it off the bill and did i want to try something else, which i did not. The 2 servers discussed and looked over at us, but i did not feel uncomfortable or that they were trashing us. Waitress 2 dropped the check with the key lime (tasty) pie promised by Waitress 1. We happily very generously tipped, as they deserved it. Will i come again? Well, the grouper WAS delicious... yes, sure I'll try again, but will avoid waiting asnd come early. I counted 8 tables and s couple of ledge seats. They're happy to serve you drinks outside while waiting. The menu is not huge, but there are a few more items id like to try. read more

This place never disappoints. In all the years we have never had anything but perfection. The food is great. Service is wonderful and staff are friendly and wear MASK which just makes them better and gives you a feeling of comfort. Thank you all for all the years of wonderful food. read more

Visiting from out of state and found this place to be amazing! Incredibly FRESH and very generous portions. Wonderful calamari appetizer and also superb blackened mahi-mahi Caesar salad. Have tried several seafood restaurants while visiting Stuart and this one beats them all. Wish I had found this one first. read more

This place has an astounding menu and great food. Grouper, conch, salmon, you name it. We had the grouper sandwich and the blackened mahi jack sandwich. Both were delicious and well portioned. Service was prompt and pleasant. They also have a nice selection of beer and wine. The atmosphere is that of a small town diner crossed with a beachside seafood restaurant. Scrumptious casual! read more

King Neptune Restaurant - Seafood Near Me - Stuart, Florida

Awe both had the fried grouper sandwiches with fries and coleslaw. The fish was fresh and very tasty. Very large portion of fish. The coleslaw and the fries were also very good. Very happy with our meal. We were both greeted at the door by a friendly server. Made to feel right at home. Will definitely come back. read more

Great place to eat. I like that it is small inside because that keeps it quaint. Definitely recommend going here if you are a local or from out of town. read more

This is a tougher review. The haddock all you can eat fish and chips were awesome. The fries were great and so were the conch fritters. The beer during happy hour cheap and cold. The only failure was the frog legs. I love frog legs but these were terrible. Get there early as this place is tiny. Wait staff very accommodating read more

Best cracked conch and steamed clams I have ever had ! The oyster shooters were fresh, and tasted devine, we will definitely be getting them again ! An amazing small neighborhood spot ! Great service ! read more

I really cant believe some of these reviews . They have to be from friends. perhaps there's another restaurant of the same name nearby. Ive been hearing about this place for years and being off season we decided to finally give it a try. A very unpretentious smallish place, tables a little on the tight side. No issue there. Very good professional service . The cracked conch appetizer was very good. The mahi platter with shrimp , scallops and french fries was a joke. We each had one. Not the food preparation which was fine but the portion. Gotta be joking maybe 3oz of fish with 3 shrimp the size thats 50-60/lb and 3 tiny scallops. $17. Be serious. Too many other restaurants within walking distance where that actually gets you a meal. I'll pass on this place in the future. Supporting local restaurants in the off season is no reason to put up with this. read more

On a quick visit to an old friend in Stuart we went here. My friend recommended the fried shrimp which he promised were the best around. I ordered the shrimp and I must say that they were spectacular! Just the right amount of breading and fried to perfection. read more

Love this place! Can be hard to get a table though because it's so small and well loved. The cracked conch fritters are amazing.

The moment my husband and I walked in, we felt uneasy. We had glares from the staff and guests but we both wondered if we were imagining it. We asked our waitress for help with the menu because my husband has a black pepper allergy. She was not helpful at all and seemed inconvenienced by our request . She said everything except the coconut shrimp has black pepper and they could not accommodate his allergy. We decided to stay (big mistake) and order the coconut shrimp, a bottle of wine, and the grouper. As the restaurant began to fill up with their usual crowd, the patrons hovered over our table and literally had their behinds in our face. A lady who seemed to be the owner and the staff saw how comfortable we were, but did not say or do anything. It's almost like they wanted us to feel real uncomfortable and leave. My husband and I had to get up and ask the patrons to move their behinds away from our faces. We hailed the waitress and asked to get our check. They were quick to get our money for the meal we never received, the wine we didn't finish and no one, including the lady who looked like the owner apologized or even tried to assuage the situation. In fact, when I looked her way for help, she smirked. I don't know how a business like this remains open. Fortunately, we were able to go to the Twisted Tuna in the same area and have a great meal with great service. As a born and raised Floridian, I have never felt so unwelcome and discriminated anywhere in my state as I did at the King Neptune Restaurant. read more

Delious! Hogfish stuffed with crab meat covered in butter. Fried shrimp. The hogfish was a very large portion and a very generous amount of crab meat. The shrimp were perfect. I'll be back! read more

This is a restaurant that my husband has been going to since he was a little kid. As a kid he would work at the local strawberry farms picking strawberries for a little bit of spending money which he would spend on the grouper plate at King Neptune. I have heard so many stories about it that of course when we went to visit family we dropped in for a meal. The overall meal was good. As far as the legendary grouper plate goes, the fried grouper was very good and I would recommend. read more

Thank you Scott the hairdresser for suggesting this place to us. We've eaten elsewhere in Stuart, like Spoto's and Getting Crabby, that we both love, but this was a nice diversion. Tiny place, so we were lucky to get a table with only a modest wait. Give it a whirl! read more

Finally decided to try this place after living by it for a couple months last night and I was in shock. I ordered the lemon caper swordfish and my girlfriend got the pistachio crusted mahi and both were perfect. I highly recommend the cracked conch as an appetizer due to the amazing sauce that comes with it. Great service and the manager was very welcoming while we waited on our table and made sure we had drinks the whole time! Will return weekly it was so good! read more

Best little local seafood restaurant anywhere in Martin County. Locals love it and we try to keep it a secret. Lol

Fresh seafood. Friendly service. Homey, Southern hospitality atmosphere. Whenever in town, it is a must-stop for me. The pistachio-crusted mahi-mahi (also known as dolphin-fish) is perhaps the best fish I've ever had. And I grew up in South Florida. The atmosphere may be too casual for some, but the kitchen alone earns the 5 stars. If you are inspired (like I am when I eat said mahi) to tip the kitchen, they ring a big bell. The other diners catch on and pay it forward. What a positive experience - leaves a good taste in your mouth, literally and figuratively ;) Also, I'm not a shellfish person, but friends I have come with seem to love the oyster shooters. read more

Just ate here for the first time. The mahi was out of this world. Love the laid back energy and very friendly and attentive staff. Will definitely be back read more

This is my wife Becki and I's favorite little seafood place! They make the best you-peel'm shrimp, they are always good sized and fresh every day. I highly recommend getting a side of their Tabasco onion rings as a great crunchy complement to the above soft steamed shrimp. Now here is an insiders secret - ask for their wonderful pink spicy conch sauce to dip your crispy onion rings in! WOW! All you need now is one of their cold beers and you are in for a very special treat! Enjoy! read more

Small family owned place but good food. Have been there couple of times, and I enjoyed the food. Good portion sizes. My personal fav's are coconut shrimp and blackened mahi mahi. read more

Another great little spot in the "manatee pocket" of Salerno. Small hole in the wall sea food restaurant. The seafood bisque is really good. Second to only the Crab Bisque from Gettin Crabby across the street. This place has a very nice feeling to it inside because its small. Highly recommend it. read more
