The loaded tots were S tier. I could eat my body weight in those alone and call it a meal. I had the BLT and it's a proper BLT -- thick bacon and a lot of it, none of that two-sad-strips business. The hush puppies were awesome too. Every table's got a bottle of Ed's Red, a hyper-local hot sauce, and man, that stuff is good. You love to see Florida products and Florida food represented like that. My father-in-law got the captain's platter -- straight seafood galore. The scallops were my favorite, though to be fair scallops are my favorite just about anywhere, long as they're fresh. Growing up on the Gulf, you can tell when seafood's fresh and hasn't been sitting frozen for a month, and these passed the test. Our server was dope. Sports bars just get better when the wait staff actually knows sports and can banter with you -- makes the whole place feel that much more real. Only real complaint: not nearly enough Gator memorabilia on the walls. Fix that and it's perfect.

It appears the employee smoke area is directly next to the outdoor patio, so I suggest sitting inside if smoke bothers you.

We went on Sunday evening, party of 3. There was some confusion with our reservation but we were…read morestill seated at a table that wasn't reserved until 7pm. Our server came, we ordered our drinks. He brought them but didn't lay cocktail napkins on our table with them. After that we ordered appetizers, asked our server what his favorites were. The stuffed shrimp was named, so I ordered those. My friend ordered a 1/2 dozen of the baked oysters. The appetizers came out but were luke warm at best. The baked oysters were way over cooked & then I'm sure sat under the heat lamp which dried them out even more. I'm a southern Alabama girl who knows her seafood and loves good soul food & know how it should be cooked. So far I wasn't impressed. This menu hits all the check marks but over does the easy stuff. My friend ordered gumbo. It was more 'Cajun' red looking than a darker rue & it was served cool to luke warm at best. The flavor wasn't good at all. I ended up ordering the duck. The greens with it were great but the duck itself came out fried not roasted which threw me off. If you're going to imitate Louisiana cooking, please at least follow their ways of cooking. My other friend ordered redfish & shrimp and that was the best tasting dish out of all. Overall, the meal wasn't good for the quality and pricing. The overcooked baked oysters were $30 for a 1/2 dozen so don't waste your time. The gumbo was $15 a bowl & it was the size of a salad bowl at best. Also, pro tip. Don't leave money sitting on the table. They were about to not seat us because they had a 7pm reservation at the table we ate at. We were there at 5pm.

Other delights include po' boys with your choice of protein, coconut shrimp with spicy-sweet dipping sauce, and some of the best fish tacos in town. Service is excellent; the busser/ food runner Is happy to get your beer/ pop/ extra sauces refilled. And of course, the waterside views of fishers, boats, and birds never hurt.

RUDE EMPLOYEES, RUDE MANAGEMENT, AND TERRIBLE FOOD! If I…read morecould give this place ZERO stars, I absolutely would! DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE unless you enjoy paying $54 for the same mediocre food you could get for FREE at a hotel breakfast! We are on a FAMILY VACATION and stopped here expecting a decent meal. Instead, we were met with some of the rudest employees and management I have ever encountered. Let me explain. Our party consisted of 4 adults, 3 children between the ages of 3 and 6, and our 1-year-old twins. We needed 7 chairs and 2 high chairs. After ordering our food through the cafeteria line, we headed to the indoor seating area, which was completely EMPTY. An employee had two separate tables with the high chairs placed at the end. I politely asked if we could push the tables together so our entire family could sit together, especially since our twins share food. Her response? They weren't allowed to move the tables because of management. EXCUSE ME?! The entire seating area was empty! I explained that it would have been nice to know that BEFORE we ordered our food. We are on a family vacation, and the last thing we expected was to be treated like an inconvenience for simply wanting our family to sit together. She then proceeded to push the tables together while making a scene, saying she would just "take the heat from management." She also told us that if we wanted to sit together, we should have gone to Sisters Restaurant around the corner because they accommodate larger parties. Are you SERIOUS?! So we're being told to take our business somewhere else because we have children and want to sit together? Absolutely ridiculous! After finally getting the tables together, we began trying to get everyone settled. Keep in mind, we had THREE young children and ONE-YEAR-OLD TWINS to get situated. The employee then had the audacity to tell us our food was going to be cold because we were taking too long to sit down before storming off. WHAT KIND OF CUSTOMER SERVICE IS THAT?! A few minutes later, two other employees came back, looked at our tables, and literally HUFFED because they had been pushed together. At this point, I had ENOUGH. I went to ask for someone in charge because the disrespect and unnecessary attitude from the employees were completely unacceptable. And management was somehow EVEN WORSE! As I tried to explain what had happened, the response I received was, "Well, your tables are together, so what's your deal?" MY DEAL?! Your employees have been rude, made snarky comments, told us we should have eaten somewhere else, and made us feel completely unwelcome when we were simply trying to enjoy a meal with our family! When I explained that the employees were continuing to make rude comments and complain about the tables, the manager literally YELLED OUT, "STAY AWAY FROM THAT TABLE!" Not once did anyone apologize. Not once did anyone attempt to make the situation right. Just pure attitude, disrespect, and absolutely ZERO customer service. And let's talk about the FOOD, because after all of that, you would at least hope the food was worth the $54 we spent. IT WAS DISGUSTING! This place claims to serve homemade food, but the eggs tasted like fake, powdered eggs, and the biscuits tasted like frozen biscuits straight out of a package. Honestly, I've had better breakfasts at a FREE hotel continental breakfast! We paid $54 for a meal that was nowhere near worth the money, dealt with employees who acted like we were a burden for simply being there, and received absolutely no apology from management. I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO ANYONE! If you enjoy being treated like an inconvenience, being talked down to by employees, getting yelled at by management, and paying restaurant prices for frozen, low-quality food, then by all means, give this place a try. Otherwise, SAVE YOUR MONEY AND TAKE YOUR BUSINESS ELSEWHERE! Family vacations are meant to be enjoyed, and no family should have to deal with this kind of unnecessary disrespect just to eat a meal together. Absolutely unacceptable from start to finish!

The crab cakes were perfectly crispy on the outside while remaining tender and moist inside. The flavorful crab, roasted corn and mustard sauce created an awesome combination.
