How to make this place the best experience: 1)lower your…read morerich ass, egocentric standards. 2) go to the bar, get yourself a beer all by your big boy self 3) pick a seat, anywhere of your choosing, and enjoy the view until a waitress greets you. If you do these three things, this place is awesome and food is delicious! This place can get packed and it's first come first serve. If you're in a rush don't come here. Grab some chips from the store and leave, waitress's aren't lazy, they're busy helping everyone. Also, they did still get the order wrong though, we ordered a blackened and a fried fish sandwich and they both came back fried. Not the biggest deal but like also, I saw you write our order down so WTF . So I guess tip #4 would be know they'll take your order, throw it in the trash, and you'll get what they give you. Upside: didn't think I wanted pickles on my sandwich but turns out it was great with it, they forced me to try something new. How sweet.

Great location. The restaurant is awesome and you can have them prepare the fish you just caught.read more

The intangible value is the bonding and team building. The food in the spirit is excellent, even the bag sandwiches sent on the boats were great. Hospitality is also great, all the employees we encountered were super nice and accommodating. Fishing is fishing, so is it luck or skill ? But woodlands will pair you up with the best guides available and in just minutes your in some of the worlds best backwater. Was very easy to do a half day charter still have time left for some meeting agenda Hopefully we make this an annual event.

We stay at the Sand Dollar Motel once a year for Tarpon Rodeo Fishing Tournament. It is a very…read moreclean room with a queen size bed. This year they added a compact refrigerator and microwave in all the downstairs rooms which was a nice addition. The bathroom is very clean and big enough for one person to shower while other brushes their teeth. The towels are a little rough; you may want to bring your own wash clothes. It is very convenient to attend the Rodeo, launch the boat, be at the marina, and walk to the motel. Surprisingly it is not noisy bc the window AC unit drowns the outside noise. I do not need my noise maker to sleep in this room. I would stay here again.

This is a fishing camp style motel, so don't expect anything fancy…read more I didn't actually stay here, but my Dad did. He said it was comfortable and clean and that it wasn't too noisy. It's right off the marina so it's pretty convenient if you don't want to sleep on your boat.

Ok, context is important here. Buras like its neighbors(Empire & Venice) is a town of Fisherman,…read moreWeekend Sportsman and Industrial Employees. The Inn contains several trailers each with two full beds, shower, sink, microwave and T.V. The space is tight so if you decide to share with an messy roommate only then will you feel overwhelmed. The rooms are cleaned daily unless there is a Do Not Disturb sign posted. There is an onsite ice machine but you need to have your own container(s). Towards the rear of the lot is a gazebo for grilling to wooden tables. The only negative I encountered was the lack of a washer/dryer. As a result, the staff in the main office will wash your clothes(no matter how greasy/grimy) for $1.50 per pound. Since I work in an open air environment most of my Fire-Retardant uniforms are wet/greasy causing it to weigh more(Hmmmm?). Almost forgot, cash only on your laundry dues. Finally, if you pay weekly its $75 a night; If not it's $85.

All of our questions were answered in detail and he gave us all the information we needed to have a great trip, including what was included, what to bring and how the trip would go. The weather was a bit windy when we went, but Captain Alan knew the perfect spots to get out of the wind. Best of all, he knew where the fish were! Right out of the gate we were right on them. Got some redfish and spotted some small Gar. The conditions were right to hunt some monsters - ended up with a giant six foot Gar!! Everyone had a blast fishing but the best part of the trip was the service. We were treated absolutely amazingly at every turn. I would recommend this to anyone (I immediately told all my friends they should go). I can't imagine a better experience or a more fun trip! Thanks Cap'!
