Kids cheese pizza
Tamara M.

The only reason I'm not giving this place a five is because I made a reservation online and when I got there, there was no one to greet us and we had to flag down an employee only to be told we can seat ourselves. Not sure if that it is the norm or because it really wasn't busy due to the weather. We were able to sit by the window, which gave us a lovely view of the water, which was really great. Our waitress Robin, was amazing! She was really friendly gave us a great suggestions on whether or not things were good on the menu, and was very attentive and kind. Everything we ordered was really good with the exception of the kids pizza. Overall, a great experience celebrating Fathers Day, and we will definitely be back on a day with better weather so we can sit outside

We stopped at Lazy Turtle for an unexpected lunch. It is such a cute little hidden gem right that sits right on the Indian River Lagoon. It actually may have been our best meal down here! We ordered the Tres Tiki Taco Loco (shrimp and mahi) and they were so amazing! My mom said they may have been the best shrimp tacos she's ever had, and I may have to agree. Their mango salsa and volcano sauce is amazing!! My dad really liked their shrimp po boy as well. Drinks were good, especially the Coco Locco Mojito! 10/10, such a great find and we definitely plan to go back. They also have many gluten free options, including apps and entrees, and even 1 dessert! GF is marked on the menu!

Dinner

This place is amazing Food and service is the best Atmosphere is romantic casual Was a great place to celebrate our anniversary

Island Rigatoni
Ashley W.

I recently visited Lazy Turtle RiverFront Grill & Tiki Bar for the first time while attending a celebration with my community organization, and we had a group of about 12 people. From start to finish, the experience was excellent. Our server, Audrey, truly made the night. She was incredibly attentive, patient, and friendly--especially impressive given the size of our group. She kept everything organized, checked in on us consistently, and made sure everyone felt taken care of without ever rushing us. Her positive attitude and professionalism really stood out and added to the celebratory atmosphere. I ordered the island rigatoni with jerk grilled chicken (not listed by that exact name on the website), and it was absolutely delicious. The flavors were on point, the portion was satisfying, and honestly, everyone at the table enjoyed their meals. Across the board, the food was fresh, well-prepared, and full of flavor. Between the great food, waterfront vibe, and outstanding service from Audrey, Lazy Turtle was the perfect spot for our group celebration. We all had a great time and would definitely return--especially if Audrey is working! Highly recommend.

The service was excellent and the food was out of this world. Love the vibe here like a time capsule. The only reason it isn't a 5 star is the place could use a renovation as it looks a little dated.

Blackened Grouper sandwich
Stephanie W.

Looking for seafood with a view of the water and Lazy Turtle was it. It was windy and rainy so we couldn't sit outside at the Tiki Bar but we still had a view with good service! We had Fish and Chips with the best slaw I've had in a while and the Blackened Grouper sandwich! Superb!

We were in earlier this week. Our bartender Heather was amazing. Gave us lots of great advice about the menu as well as the drinks. We sat outside at the tiki bar and the view is amazing!! Tried the Ahi tuna nachos and boyyyyy they were delicious. We will definitely be back every time we are in the area. Heather made sure of that.

Volcano shrimp
Kaitlyn S.

Came here for my birthday dinner and I really liked my volcano shrimp that was gluten free. I loved that out back they had a saxophone player it made for a really nice atmosphere. It is a nice little place on the river. It might not be somewhere I go all the time but for a special occasion it was nice. The server was nice and made sure we were okay through out our time there. My husband's drink was just a bit too strong but they did go back and change it and just make a virgin one for him. His food he wasn't super happy with that there was too much dressing on his sandwich. All in all it's a nice spot just not somewhere I would find myself frequenting.

Came here with our party of 10, including 5 kiddos. Got right in on at around 6:00 in a Friday, which could be a red flag. The Lazy Turtle turned out to be a great choice. Service was fast and accurate. The only problem was we ordered fish and chips from the kids menu, but received the adult portion. Our server noticed immediately and only charged us for the kids meal. The rest of the food was great, especially the blackened grouper, blackened Mahi and the sushi. They also had a singer that was perfect for dining hours on the deck during our meal. Great place!

Limp crab cake bites
Tiffany W.

The food was good and our server was very nice, but I think they must have been a little understaffed because I don't feel like he was around very much. We came for the views, but the wind was giving us a little bit of a hard time. In my party of 3 we each ordered a drink and an appetizer. I got the island blackened chicken nachos and they were huge, definitely enough to share between a few people. My friend got the lump crab cake bites and they were tasty. My cousin got the crispy volcano shrimp and they were good, your typical 'bang bang shrimp'

Restaurant was not busy at all
Amy C.

The name of this restaurant matches the service. Don't waste your time and money here. We arrived here sometime before 3p. Didn't leave this place until after 530p. The restaurant was empty at the time we arrived and left. Maybe 5 tables occupied the whole time. They took a few minutes to push some tables together for our party of 8 outside. After we sat down it took a long time for menus to get to us. Then it took a long time for us to get our waters and other drinks. Then our food order was taken another 10-15 mins later. 4p rolls around and no food. 430p rolls around and no food. We ordered a few sandwiches, soups, tacos and nachos. Nothing complicated or requiring anyone to go fish and hunt for our food in the ocean. One of us got up and searched for the server or manager and was told our food would be out shortly. 20 mins roll by and we get up and go check again. Then we notice the guy that was seated not too long ago at the bar got his nacho order. It was time to throw a fit. The family next to us got their food pretty late too. Kids got served first and parents food came out like 45 minutes later. We go in and try to cancel our food so we can leave because it was clear to us that a few people that had arrived way after us had got their food. So apparently according to the manager, there was an issue with the system and they had to key our order in 3 times!!! And none of the 2 managers were able to communicate this to us and tell us that there would be a delay in our food due to this. As 1 friend was talked to 1 manager, our food came out. This was after 5. When the waitress brought out our food, she told us that our food would be comped!!!! All of it. Except alcohol. That was fine. So then we inhaled our food in 5 minutes cause we were starving to death and ready to drive back home to Orlando and wanted to get the h*** out of there. Then it seemed like the 2 managers did not communicate with each other because one of them did not want to comp the entire meal. But the other manager said she would. Except for alcohol. We were already closed out and paid for all of our drinks and beers. Probably 16 drinks between all 8 of us. Left the waitress cash tips. They need to get their act together with their communication and their service. Horrendous service. I did enjoy my wedge salad and my lobster bisque though. But was not worth the wait.

Hemingway entree
Harley G.

So let's start with the reviews. Several commented on how the lazy turtles service was, well" slow as a turtle" ! Our service was excellent and considering Friday night at 7:00 pm prime time. Started with shrimp cocktail, not jump but large. Excellent sea food sauce. Could have been a couple additional shrimp for $19.95, the wedge side said wax huge and delicious. My spouse has the Hemingway with snapper was wonderful. My seafood paella was amazing . Scallops, shrimp, sausage and mussels. Ending a fine dinning experience with a 7 layer chocolate cake and a couple of coffees. Live entertainment, a fantastic view. And we will be back.

Oysters on the half shell!!

Forgot to take pics of the wedge salad and lobster bisque but phenomenal!!!! The staff here were so nice and attentive. What a great find just winging it. Thank you Debra for being an amazing waitress. We really enjoyed our meal here!!

I had high hopes for this place. I was a bit underwhelmed by the customer service. The drinks also were a bit watered down as well.

The staff was incredibly cheerful, welcoming, and took the time to explain all of the different donuts and other menu items they offer. They have so much more to choose from, including croissants, breakfast sandwiches, lunch sandwiches, cupcakes, cakes, and coffee. There is truly something for everyone. The donut selection was impressive, with a wide variety of creative flavors and toppings. Everything looked fresh, beautifully made, and hard to choose from because it all looked so good! If you're looking for a local bakery with amazing customer service, delicious treats, and a welcoming atmosphere, Love Bugs Bakery is definitely worth a visit. We'll definitely be back!

They up charge for everything already. We ask that 1/2 be placed in separate box as gift for friends. Young man is so confused .. why ?? So we get thru why and he gets each box filled with six donuts (no extra, the common bakers dozen). Ok price of extra box , not like you make it up with every donut up charge. Then he rings up two 1/2 dozens to upcharge more. We ordered a dozen and even a small box charge would have been more appropriate. It's not worth any battle to deal with lack of common sense ... this is today's youth and lack of any management and supervision. Oops a credit card fee too. 33.66 for two half dozen donuts and they require the friendly tip screen during checkout too. Sorry but you didn't deserve that ! Time to look elsewhere or diet !

The owners are very nice man who serves up your food and ask if you'd like a box because I guess some people buy this delicious sweet cakes and don't eat them right away Psh, crazy! I'm not at the flea market off every time I do get to stop by sweetie pies is inventory Sims completely different every time. He does make his food everyday so changed up the recipe is good for the consumer and good to keep the chef from getting bored. Not only do his deserts look great they also taste really great.

It was awesome. I was able to taste the FRESH tomatoes, feta cheese, nutritious spinach, and fluffy eggs. I love it! So for all of those who like to enjoy the flavor of each ingredient I will absolutely recommend this shop. Constructive criticism: to my taste, I think the soufflé need it a little salt for the eggs. But, I still rate it 5 star. The chocolate chip muffin it was fabulous! The sweet was to is point! (Not loaded with sugar) They know how to balance their dishes. I will be coming back to this shop to buy some more! :)
