Lynna I.

I went here two months ago on spring break with my mother. I ordered their steak special with a specialty cocktail. The drink was good. However, the steak I ordered was horrible. It looked old and slimy. I could not believe they were willing to serve food to customers in that condition. My mom was grossed out by it too. I ordered my steak medium rare, and it came out mostly well done. I took a little bite of it just to try it and it was very salty and disgusting. The mashed potatoes and green beans that came with it weren't good either. I had to send back the food and they let me order something else. I ordered some kind of shrimp dip with bread I think, and that was also very salty and didn't taste that great. At least we were not charged for the steak, but it was a disappointing dinner overall. I don't have high expectations of chain restaurants, but this was definitely not a good experience.

Asian Chicken Salad
Hanna T.

4/5: A little pricey for the portion, but the chicken wasn't dry and had good flavor. The dressing was slightly sweet went well with the chicken. I think what's missing is the different arrays of vegetables. I think red cabbage and other veggies is what makes the salad really good. Nothing special but I was disappointed. Interior is not nice. There are birds flying inside and we did see it poop. Also the ceiling has these white fan (?) that were dripping water.

Island Coconut Mocktail

My husband and I had a great lunch with wonderful service as we sat on the patio. The food was delicious and the mocktail was even better! If you're in port for a cruise or just visiting Miami, Bayside is a great place to check out.

A empty restaurant and bar on a Sunday of labor day weekend should've been red flag number one... If it wasn't for my friend in desperate need of food and a drink, I would've left after we sat at the (empty) outside bar for over ten minutes before we were even acknowledged. There was literally only four other people at the bar that already had their orders but we sat around waiting. Once the bartender finally came over to, he gave us menus and stood there waiting for us to order, without saying anything other than 'hi". I decided to get the incommunicado, which was Margaritaville Gold Tequila and Silver Rum, Margaritaville Triple Sec, Wheatly Vodka, gin, our house sweet & sour, cranberry and pineapple juices with a splash of grenadine for $12. My friend ordered a Margarita and a side of fries. After another ten minutes, the bartender came over and asked what I order was again because he forgot.... Ten minutes after we assumed he put our order in. The drinks were good, very sweet and I don't even believe there was anything other than mixer in my friends drink because it was that sweet. My drink was refreshing and I could taste the alcohol but it was definitely not worth the price. The fries were good and had a nice seasoning to them. They were served hot and thankfully fresh but for the $6 it was not worth the amount given. As soon as we got our drinks, he already was back with the check and left us until we were ready to pay. We than understood why the guy didn't care about service because they had a gratuity automatically included. When we paid and he cane back he thanked us and then mentioned there was a spot for additional gratuity. Absolutely not. We paid, signed the check and left. Definitely a one and done place for me and I'll actively avoid this location any time that I am in Miami.

1. Walked in and it took about 3 minutes for the manager looking man to come up and ask if we needed a table. 2. Once seated, it took over 8 minutes to receive menus from a different person. 3. It took another 5 minutes for someone to finally come to the table and start taking drink orders. 4. Once we ordered drinks, it took over 10 minutes to receive our drinks. They were sitting at the bar getting watered down by the ice in them. 5. Our server was very kind and polite. She had the most personality out of everyone we interacted with. Our server was Bianca. 6. This place wasn't busy at all. A few people at the bar and maybe 2 tables total. 7. The food was very good. Standard frozen fries. The grilled chicken sandwich was very good, but the bun could have been warned up instead of room temperature. The Asian salad was good but the wontons were missing and the dressing it was tossed in was put on sparingly. The chicken on it was good. It's a 3/5 stars due to the lack of attention at the beginning. We were about to walk out before the drinks finally arrived. Bianca was the best part. The management needs to do better.

Updating my review out of disappointment. I'm a local and it's sad to see businesses with such big names behind them act like any other sleazy Miami restaurant. This place has stoop so low as to automatically add a 3% credit card fee, a 20% auto-gratuity, plus a tourist tax. Not a good look for a company with a portfolio that includes cruises, restaurants, and resorts among with merchandising and representing the name of Jimmy Buffett.

Jambalaya.
Gus C.

Stopped in around 3:30 , we missed the 12 to 3 lunch special . I asked and there was no other deals . That's ok . I got the jambalaya and my GF got the chicken stir fry , both were very good . Wish my jambalaya wasn't as dry as it was , I saw a few seafood combos come out , that was my 2nd choice and looked great . We each got one drink . Besides the Miami high prices , and the built in " service charge " at least there honest and call it a gratuity. So you don't get tricked to tip twice . We stopped in later that night for drinks and I got the shrimp dip with chips . Was also good .

We got dropped off in the front of the Bayside shopping mall. Margaritaville happened to be on the completely other side of this entrance so it probably took us 5 to 10 minutes to walk all the way across. There's a lot of small shops, restaurants, and bars in this area, which is pretty cool spot to visit. I had made a reservation, but it wasn't needed as it was pretty empty for a Sunday. That have a few TVs on, but no audio. We decided to share the nachos which was plenty, but I will say we had to order an extra side of cheese because the nachos in the bottom were dry. It took an extra 10 minutes to get this side of cheese , which was too long considering there wasn't anyone else they had to tend to. I ordered a drink but can't remember the name. It had a good sweetness to it but didn't pack the taste of a margarita with alcohol. I like drinks with a good balance. Overall ok experience. Service really lacked. Didn't get checked on at all. O had to flag them down for everything.

So my gf was dying to stop in here so we did. We shopped around the gift shop while we waited for our table and eventually took our seat outside. We grabbed some drinks and some nachos and just soaked in the waterside atmosphere. There's a lot of ppl watching to do and the only downside is that there are pigeons. My gf got an unfortunate gift from above and had to go to the restroom to get cleaned up. Not a bad spot. Pick your seat wisely.

5 o'clock somewhere

My husband and I visited margaritaville on 4/3/26. Eric was our server. He was professional, and attentive to us and his other guests. He checked on us numerous times asking if everything was still to our liking and if we needed anything. His personality was amazing and I could see he enjoys his job. He is one of a kind and many kudos y to I him for serving us.

These guys are awesome ! We had a blast! Go vagtastic Voyagers! Raul is the man They gave us a free shot for being vagtastic

Margaritaville never misses! Stopped in here while walking by for a marg and app and had a nice experience! Sitting outside is nice because you can see the water. The watermelon marg was so light and refreshing and the coconut shrimp and onion rings were so crispy! Service was nice and fairly quick.

Food: Did eat here only grabbed Miami vice frozen drink. Refreshing Service: Awesome Ambience: Perfect

Drinks were good but the nachos were not very hot and a bit soggy under the middle. The service was good and friendly.

Cute lil place. They seen to have a nice schedule of weekly events. While on vacation my family and…read moreI had dinner here. It was their trivia night, I believe there was a $1500 pot if you win. Everyone seemed to be playing. We arrived to late to join. The place was packed yet there were only two servers. Our server was running around like a chicken with her head cut off. However she managed to keep up with out party of 9. There were times we were waiting for assistance however we could see she wasn't just sitting on her ass. We order burgers, flat breads, tenders and steak tacos. Steak tacos were horrible Burgers were delicious Flatbread were good Tenders definitely looked like they were frozen tenders from the grocer. The beverages were nice not too strong but not weak. We were kinda profiled however as a black person you get use to it. My husband and brother stepped out for a smoke break..although everyone else was still seated at the table. We watched security run out after them. We laughed cause they looked stupid. When security ran out there they pretended to be looking at something when they noticed they guys were right outside the door. Irish pub we didn't expect any less. However it was kinds funny how the guy darted out after them then aimlessly looked around after he realized they were smoking a cigarette ‍

I wanted to write this place off as a touristy haunt given its location and its typical South Beach…read moreprices, but we had a really good experience here. I realized that I had not actually been to this location since it was The Playwright (or whatever it was called) 4 or 5 years ago. The updated interior is nice - very "pubby" - and they offer a good variety of seating from bar seats to high-tops to couches. Two things here that were standouts: First, the burger is one of the best burgers I've had on South Beach. So much so that I'm craving it again this morning. They've done a good job with the menu in that it still has all those bar foods that you look for in a place like this, but they've put some thought into elevating a number of items (e.g. the short rib poutine!) Second, the service was great. Our server (sorry, can't remember his name - a nice guy from Kendall) was very friendly and provided excellent service. As many reviews mention, this is definitely a place to watch a game. While we weren't there for this purpose last night, the TV setup is great and I could def see myself camping out there with a few beers on a weekend afternoon. As someone who lives in the neighborhood, I'll be back again for sure.

This is the place to stumble into! Don't waste your time walking in front of everything looking in…read moreeach bar to see an empty row of barstools. This place is popping! Thursday night is Karaoke and the people in here can sing. You can tell this is a place the locals actually go to. I didn't try the food so I can't speak on that but the drinks were strong and the prices are good, you aren't going to be super overcharged like everywhere else. It's only a block off the beach as well! Tons of pool, video games, and two bars in two connected building. One side is a dance side the other side is a gaming fun side! The bar tenders were great and really took the time to make you feel welcomed! I will visit this place every time I come back to Miami!

We went here with my friends, and the food was great and the female bartender was super nice, but…read morewhen we went to play pool, you have to buy an arcade card. the arcade card was $5 for 15 "points" We got 15 points and the pool table cost 8 points. We went to the bar to explain that the pool table was broken and they it was fine. When we closed out they charged us $20 for one game of pool. I have been to high-end clubs where it's less than that. This nasty bar charged us $20 to play one round of pool when the pool table next to us that unfortunately was occupied only paid equivalent of $3. That is robbery and discrimination & will not be coming back here ever again. I recommend staying away from this bar. Maybe it has to do with the fact that we were only gay people in there. Avoid it all costs, I love a loud bar scene, but I couldn't even hear my friend standing next to me. The energy was not good with the exception of the female Argentianian bartender who is quite kind, but whoever we closed out with was quite rude. 0 stars if I could. We want our money back.
