Matlacha charm and Island Time feel will melt your day away, especially with a frosty Blue Dog lager in hand. Grab a seat at the bar if possible. Parking can be crazy during season. Cheers!

We sat on the swings at the bar which were fun. Next time we will try the patio in the evening for a romantic dinner. They have a small gift shop. Bought one of those glasses and a coffee mug with their cool pic on it. They have free Valet parking. Please tip the guy. They also had music bingo when we were there on a Monday for lunch. I think they do it twice a week. I wish the place would be closer to my house. I would be there all the time. They have a very large bar. I would like to see more familiar items on the menu. You have to go there. It's on the water. Several small buildings with gift shops on the same street, we didn't have time to stop in there. We'll do it next time. Can't wait to go back for dinner

Yucatán Waterfront Restaurant - June 2026…read more We used to love Yucatán -- it was one of our go-to spots. That's what makes this experience so disappointing. The food was solid and the waterfront atmosphere was as charming as ever. Unfortunately, the payment process turned a good meal into a frustrating mess. After lunch, our server brought a handheld credit card terminal. We tried swiping our card multiple times, but the machine kept failing to read it. Assuming the payment hadn't gone through, we paid in cash and left. The next day, I checked my statements and discovered the card had been charged anyway. I called the restaurant several times to resolve the double payment, but no one ever returned my calls. I even contacted Mastercard, but they couldn't help directly. The meal itself was enjoyable, but the complete lack of communication and follow-up on the billing error left us feeling disrespected. Bottom line: We won't be returning. If you're looking for a great waterfront meal in the area, there are far more reliable options, including: * Blue Dog Bar & Grill * Tarpon Lodge * Phuzzy's Boat Shack * Miceli's Restaurant * and so many more ... plus many other excellent local restaurants. Skip Yucatán until they fix their payment and customer service issues. I hope the next time we drive by we see a sign that says "under new management"

Such a great find in Arcadia! We were driving across the state from the Stuart/PSL area to Anna…read moreMaria Island, and I found this place on Yelp (of course!). We decided to stop for lunch. It was a Sunday and this place was hopping! We were greeted and sat immediately. When you walk in, you see a little gift shop and a bakery display. The decor is wooden, cute, whimsical, and slightly boho. Our server was super sweet and soft spoken - she took our order and our food was ready fairly quickly. The food is delicious!! We started with their soup of the day - a spiced carrot ginger. Yummy - it felt like a warm hug! We got a veggie burger and the turkey pesto. Both were super tasty and made with love. The BEST part... they make their own breads and they offer a GLUTEN FREE rice loaf!!! It is so yummy that we bought a frozen loaf to take home. Thankfully we had a cooler with us and were able to do so. We loved our lunch so much that we decided to stop again on our way home four days later! The middle of the week in Arcadia is a lot more quiet, and our second visit was just as delicious as the first. This time, we had the veggie soup and the same two sandwiches (because they were that good!). We had the veggie burger on GF bread this time so we could share half of each sandwich. They have an interesting story of origin (see their story on the menu paper), and the folks are super sweet and warm people. We are already sad we live two hours away, but look forward to returning for more delicious food!

My husband enjoyed their island famous softshell crab sandwich and I had a too die for blackened chicken sandwich. My husband couldn't stop eating, he said the garlic sauteed crab was jam packed full of delicious crab meat and cooked to perfection. Since I am not a seafood lover, the blackened chicken was my first choice and it was amazing. The chef prepared the seasoning to complete perfection and the kaiser roll was icing on the cake! Their french fries and coleslaw were obviously homemade and tasty...my son enjoyed each little fry bite too. Not only was the food amazing, the server was so accomidating to my one year old son. The whole entire staff was polite and there to ensure our food was great. The atmosphere was how Matlacha should be, welcoming and all about the history of fishing and crabbing. Barnhill Fisheries Fish Stop is a place where everyone should stop in and enjoyed great food at a great price! We will be back for sure!!

If you are unfamiliar with the island, there are very few grocery stores you can shop at, so if you are actually on Captiva, this is your spot. There are more on Sanibel but that is a further drive. They also sell some merchandise, body items such as sunscreen and hats and then beer, wine, and liquor. We always stop here a few times while staying on the island. There are also fruits and vegetables as well as other cold items, pre made salads, dry stock items, such as breads, sauces, chips, etc. Something we always get is one of their sandwiches. They do make sandwiches to order as well using Boar Head items. For a small store, their wine and beer sections are very large. They even have a walk-in cooler so you can grab drinks cold already. We were able to find almost everything we were looking for or missed bringing with us. They welcomed us and said hello. The two guys we encountered were both very friendly and nice. We will continue to come here. It is convenient for where my family stays and we always run out of something such as bread or forget something. It is a perfect place to grab those last-minute items. I have even purchased some items here for gifts. If you are in the area I would definitely stop here for any last-minute items, you need.
