Tiki bar with lots of tables outside and an entire inside bar and sit down dining section as well. Sitting right on the water, you can arrive by boat or wheels. Or, even walk there! Good views.. Friendly staff. Only stayed for one drink but it was busy on a Saturday afternoon. We sat at the bar to people watch for a drink. A little different vibe from the other tiki bar just walking distance away but not better or worse. Just different.

Another tiki style restaurant with a full liquor bar on the Gulf Coast waterway. The front gravel parking lot had a seven foot tall red cement buoy that said 245 miles to Cuba - Drunkenmost Point. This was a funny replica of the red buoy at the Southernmost Point in Key West 90 Miles to Cuba. The bartender was nice but not overly exciting. Ordered a cold craft beer and relaxed peering at the tremendous amount of fishing wall decor and American flags. The bathroom was clean and basic, except for the bathroom directional arrows indicating, "Men are to the left, and women are always right".

Late one weeknight, we had excellent service, great food, nice water view and a few dances to live music on the patio! The guitar player gave us a waltz and rhumba, and my shrimp tacos were 5++! Each taco had 5 or 6 huge fried shrimp with tomato and lettuce too, very delicious. Hubby enjoyed his fish also. Phuzzys is on Pine Island, FL near the little town and provides live music nightly! This is a sleepy island off Ft Myers near Sanibel. Check it out!

We stopped by and had Drinks and listen to the band. I said band, but it was really just a guitar player. Believe it or not it was very good. We were on the porch area at the bar and I did not go into the inside part of the restaurant however, things were lively on the backside and the drinks were good. Very generous poor. Guitar player was a little better than normal and he could sing so we enjoyed the hour that we spent sitting on the deck and listening to good music. If you're ever in the area I recommend stopping in.

Crab Rangoon

Cruised to Fort Myers for a Valentine camping weekend. Decided on Phuzzy's Boat Shack. Thomas was our waiter and used the cutest coaster. Sat outside and the weather was beautiful. They had live entertainment. Since it's happy hour, hubby ordered a dozen oysters and I tried the crab rangoon. Very nice presentation;however, it doesn't need the spiced mayo drizzle. The fresh blue crab can stand alone. Of course I ordered a cosmo and even though poor Thomas had no idea what it was, it wasn't bad so I had 2. For dinner hubby had clam strips and I had crab and corn chowder soup. Food was good but Thomas gets the extra star for his great wholesome personality and the awesome service.

Good atmosphere and food on the water especially in St. James City. Service is prompt. If you want to relax and enjoy, I recommend this place. Drinks are yummy.

I drove out to the West Coast on Veterans Day to have lunch with a Veteran friend and we stopped by here. This place is on the water and boaters stopped by for lunch and drinks. The decor remind me a lot of key largo. We sat at the bar and Madelyn served us. She has her own cool coasters for the patrons to use. I had the Dolphin (Mahi Mahi) sandwich, fries, baked beans and a couple cold ones. The fish was a bit over cooked and I would have given the stars but between Madeline and their baked beans out of the star there.

we caught our own and Phuzzys cooked it. Blackened and fried. Absolutely delicious!

Is Phuzzy's pet friendly? We want to come but are in town with our 2 Portuguese Water Dogs--trained and on leash.

Yes they are, we brought our dog and there were two others at different tables. So long as you don't mind sitting outside.

Update: Mr or Mrs business owner, we were at your business at 1127 De Prado Blvd S on 2/22/25, check who was behind the bar that evening, he was a young 20 something male & was the one & only employee we saw & he told us the entire place was closing at 915 due to lack of business & like I explained above the reason he gave us sounded ridiculous, he made it sound like the only business you get is when the WWE games are on, he said there was none on that week, have a convo with your employee & see what time he locked the doors that night. We won't go to businesses that close their doors before their hours stated, especially almost 3 hours early! We left & went to an opened restaurant & I have a receipt from there so that's how I know what date & time we were at yours.

I want to visit in person but overall we were happy with how long it took us to receive our food and quality.

New bartenders/staff every week or two, nobody can stick around. Bartenders drinking on shift, trying to memorize orders instead of using the handheld POS system - what arrived at the table was not what we ordered. My husband's refire on his wrong meal took 20 minutes to arrive, and was cold, as well as fried to a black crisp; when he asked about it at the bar (because the bartenders weren't on the floor), he was told "I don't know what happened. I'm a bartender, not a food runner." I don't think we'll be back any time soon. I miss the great staff they used to have. This used to be a favourite neighbourhood hole in the wall.

He fell, bleeding everywhere (sober by the way) and the staff and management team HID inside during this fiasco while retired 80 year old firemen tried to bring him back to safety. I walk inside for a bag of ice and hear the manager/owner/whoever is on the clock saying "what do they expect sitting that close to the edge of the patio" and "crap, what do you think they are gonna do about this?"- last I checked, we didn't place their tables in their establishment and if they were worried about retaliation, maybe a staff member should have checked on us. Instead - not one staff member, owner, manager, asked if he was okay. We were all immediately given our tabs to avoid confrontation and they ushered us out as soon as possible to hope to avoid conflict. Glad this staff and owner care about their community. I expect more. Don't EVER give this establishment your money - and if you do, be sure To sit inside JUST IN CASE.
