One of Marcos well know spots, Great place to go and get a bite on the water. Food is always good and the salad bar is the best on the island. With its grand outdoor tiki hut and waterside views with ocean breeze truly feels like paradise. I've been going here since 2009 and have seen a lot of changes over the years but the food has stayed the same. My go to is the blackened grouper sandwich with rice and beans and go to the salad bar and load up. Their pasta salad at the salad bar is spectacular. The only thing I would say is there always a wait and the prices have gone up significantly but that's fair and expected over time. No matter what I get gotta have a pickle from the salad bar pickle barrel! Highly recommend checking out the gem read more

Mostly good: My grouper sandwich was one of the best I've had on the island. It was moist and flavorful and the portion was generous. The salad bar is a nice touch, it's not huge, but it's enough and it's something that we loved and you just don't see anymore. Our table was right on the water, great view and you really can't beat the outdoor dining experience. Band was really good and we enjoyed the live music! Our service was great our waiter was friendly and attentive. Seating options are varied, something for everyone. You can sit under the tiki roof, you will find the bar and band in there. It's dark, but open air and if you like a lively loud environment when you eat, this is the place to be. There is indoor seating near the salad bar, if you want a more calmer, quiet setting, this is where you want to be. There is an outdoor setting at picnic tables, if you want an outdoor setting with water views and live music, this is where you want to be, but you will need to wait to be seated. This is an extremely casual place, no need to dress up. Some not so good: Parking here is a disaster! Uber here if you can, as the parking situation is limited and tight and you find yourself circling the lot waiting for people to leave. This place doesn't take reservations, wait times can be significantly high, which doesn't help the parking situation. If you want to eat outside, be prepared to wait. We came on a Wednesday night, 5:30 (early) in April (not the busiest time of year) and we waited 45 minutes for an outdoor table. We didn't really care as we had a drink and talked, but you might. read more

Neat little place, pretty busy for a Monday. Atmosphere is very lively. We were told 35 minute wait and they were pretty spot on. Unfortunately, after being seated, nobody came to our table for 15 minutes until, Chris arrived. I think he knew that we had been waiting because he took our drink order and food order right away and was pretty prompt after that. I had the Blackened Mahi Mahi Tacos ($23): served with pico de gallo, shredded lettuce, shredded cheddar Cheese, avocado crema, black beans, and rice. The meal came with one trip to the "Famous" salad bar. I'm not sure what makes it famous, looked pretty average, but it was still a good starter. The tacos were a big hit. There were HUGE chunks of blackened mahi-mahi, it was seasoned excellently, and so dang good! The evening was a little bit of a bumpy start, but was positively turned around and ended up being an excellent meal. I would recommend Snook Inn. My only word of caution is they have many tables in the bar area, some are about 10 feet away from where the band plays so when they have live music, it gets super loud in there. read more

Had a great experience boating in. Just went for drinks and they were great. Really enjoyed the heat and smoke. The salad bar looked fantastic and will definitely go back for a full dinner. Great vibe around the outside bar area with live music. read more

Snook Inn - Seafood Near Me - Marco Island, Florida

Snook Inn was on our short list while visiting Marco Island, so we finally made it over there. We tried to go on Sunday, but the parking lot was packed and there was already a wait. We came back midweek before the dinner rush, and that worked out way better. The first thing I noticed was the vibe. They had live music going, which seemed great for anyone sitting outside. Inside was quieter and felt a little more like a traditional dining room. Most entrées come with the salad bar, and honestly the homemade pickles and the bread were my favorite part. Our food came out fast and hot, which I always appreciate. Marco Island in general leans pricey, and Snooks fits right in with that. Kids meals were $14.99, which felt high, and the gift shop had some surprisingly expensive name‑brand stuff. Service was fine...not bad, not amazing, just kind of there. Overall, though, Snooks is a fun stop if you're in the area. I'd still recommend giving it a try. read more

We've been to the Snook Inn a few times now since it has reopened and overall have enjoyed our lunches here. As others have mentioned this is a hopping and crowded spot. Parking can be tricky. They have a nice outdoor tiki bar/hut area with dining, but it was cold and windy today and opted to eat inside. It was crowded and perhaps they moved some tables inside as nobody really wanted to dine outside today. It took a good 10 minutes or so for our server to greet us, but after that everything moved along at a good pace. People mention that the prices here are a little higher than comparable places, but they do include one visit to the salad bar. It is a basic salad bar, but enjoyable with lettuce and a variety of toppings as well as potato, pasta salads and cole slaw. We tried a burger today and I would say it was just OK, a smashburger, and nothing exceptional. On the other hand, the grouper reuben sandwich was delicious with a nice thick piece of fish. Cocktails were tasty and potent. If you are looking for a fun spot with good food, I would recommend giving this place a try. read more

Snook Inn - Tasty cocktails - Seafood Near Me - Marco Island, Florida

We went here for an early dinner on a Sunday afternoon after we had to pivot from our number 1 choice because it was cash only. Who even uses cash anymore for anything? Snook Inn was just minutes away so it was convenient. It accepts credit cards. The place was packed so we had to wait a bit, but ultimately the wait was worth it as we were seated waterfront. We were able to watch the boats up and down the body of water (a channel? not sure). The ambiance is exactly what you would expect of a casual seafood restaurant. Parking is tight. We arrived early so we found a spot but by the time we left cars were circulating and searching. We started with grouper bites (as they are called) for an appetizer and they were excellent. LIghtly battered, fried to perfection, and very tasty. I did not even want or use the accompanying sauce. $20 for a healthy portion. I ordered the white shrimp blackened, which came 8 to an order ($28). They were cooked perfectly and very fresh. Very good shrimp. The meal came with a trip to the salad bar and a side, and I ordered fries. The fries were crispy and very good. That is the third time I had fries with a seafood entree while in FL and each time the fries were excellent. They know how to do fries in FL. The wife got the Tropical salad and liked it ($16). it was a huge bowl of greens, too much for one person. So she ate the good stuff and left a lot of the arugula and other greens. The kid had fish and chips and liked the fish, which was fresh and fried perfectly ($15). Our server, Ana, was professional, helpful, and efficient. Very good service. Overall, we had an excellent experience and we were happy to have found this place. read more

Me and my friend will never turn down a seafood spot, especially if they have lobster rolls, so we came across Snook Inn, and knew we had to come. I ordered the lobster roll which came with a side of chips. First off, the ambiance of this spot is great, and it was right by the water, so it was so pretty! My food was great. SO much lobster, which I always love. The chips were also very tasty, and there were so many. Snook Inn also had a little gift shop next to it, which I thought was cool, and I did pick up some items. read more

Snook Inn - Seafood Near Me - Marco Island, Florida

we wanted to sit by the water & enjoy HH. The hostess was not dressed appropriately & pleasant at all. As we walked to the hostess counter, she didn't say hello or welcome. Just "how many". She said very impatiently that since there were no seats available at the bar, we could sit at the high top tables that looked at the parking lot! Really! We left very disappointed. It seems from first introduction Snooks doesn't care about customer service. So.....don't spend $$$ there! read more

I like the music, vibes, tiki hut and view. I went to Snook Inn recently and enjoyed what a true to FL experience it is and have been going to this restaurant for many years. It's worth it to sit outside and enjoy the full experience if possible. I liked my fish and salad bar is good too. Get here as early as possible because the crowds come early. read more

Are dinner here. Great location on the water- very crowded and more like a cafeteria but the food was relatively good. Had the blacken grouper with side of string beans. Against my better judgement also had a pina colada. The best thing about the dinner was the hot sauce - very tasty. Quality 5 Quantity 5 Atmosphere 2 Parking 1 Service 3 Alcohol 2 Presentation 4 Taste 4 Value 4 Overall good place to each. Also had a bit of the fish and chips and it was superior to other F&C I had. read more

You wouldn't think of Snook Inn as having more than mere bar food, but you'd be wrong. I ordered the Shrimp & Scallop Scampi and got plate of extra large seared scallops and braised shrimp on a bed of spinach with one of the best tasting seafood sauces I've ever had. My partner had a ceviche with plantain chips he found to be supper wonderful. Located on the shore of a bay, the view and general ambience are great. My service was knowledgeable, friendly and top notch for local advice. With such delicious food, great service and such a wonderful shoreside location it's a Yelp 5 stars for me. read more

Fun place. It was about an hour wait. We had some fun cocktails as we waited. They have a cute shop to look at also if you need some things. The dinner service was great our lady was so nice. We all ordered different things. If you order a meal you get a salad bar with it. It was a tasty treat and the pickles are so fun and yummy. This was a nice spot and the wait didn't seem long at all. My grouper was so good. And there was enough leftover I had it the next day. Worth the trip if you're in the area. Also parking can be hard read more

Great place on the water. Very lively with a constant stream of people coming and going. Our waiter was very friendly and attentive. We sat at waters edge which was good that they had quite a few propane heaters. Good deal on a bucket of beers. The food was delicious, I had the burger (I've been eating seafood for a week) and it was great. My wife had the fried grouper sandwich and it was also delicious. One of the classic places in Marco that everyone should experience. read more

Really busy, hopping restaurant. Food was pretty good. Grouper sandwich had a thin piece of grouper. Mahi tacos pretty good. Craft beer selection ok. Metal picnic tables in most of the place. Live music playing. Parking a bit tough. We made ourselves a spot. Sake bar came with the food and that got us pretty filled up before our food. I did like it, but it was standard salad bar. Had some good potato salad on it and fresh bread. Not sure what all the hype about this place was for. read more

Love this place! What a great local spot. The service was a bit slow but it was a busy night. We got seated quickly. They drinks were good and the food was awesome! We were seeing all the items come from the kitchen and were wowed! The oysters were good. It's been a couple months since our visit, so I don't remember everything we got, but I know we were all really impressed at how tasty everything was. This place is a little dicey, and it's awesome, but definitely worth every penny! read more

Our second time here, confirms a five star assessment. Parking is a little difficult, just circle slowly and you will find a spot. Got some excellent drinks at the bar while patiently waiting for a table. Our party of six was seated dockside so great atmosphere and able to talk easily. Weather was agreeable and we ordered. Kids had the salmon, I ordered the platter. Good size portions, all tasty, and everyone had a trip to the salad bar. We could hear the live music and still talk, that was nice. See you later! read more

A great place to grab a cocktail or a bite to eat. Set on the water, you get a nice cool breeze (most of the time) and a great view. Some live entertainment at times will keep you entertained. Pick the right time so it's not too packed (and you can get a table). Come during off hours for a more relaxed atmostphere. The signature cocktails, while pricey, are very good. I enjoyed several different tap beers for a more reasonable price. read more

Great happy hour right on the water...but go early cause it fills up. We watched a totally inexperienced boater try to tie up, and restaurant goers had to run and help. Quite the show.

Snook Inn - Grouper tacos with asparagus, special - Seafood Near Me - Marco Island, Florida

Last night Friday at the Snook I had a seared salmon that was so thin it was tasteless and tonight the waiter suggested knowing I was upset about Friday's thin salmon, try the luau salmon with pineapple and coconut rice. The salmon was much thicker and tastier, a much better choice, Cannot believe the thin salmon on Friday night, no flavor and what's with all the meals having the rice and green beans all piled on top of each other. What a mess. How about coconut rice in one corner, green beans in another, then your salmon in the center and if it makes you feel better, add your flower on top for looks. read more

This place is awesome there was a short wait but plenty to look at and see. To kill time When we sat down our waiter immediately came to our table with water and even a little water bowl for our puppy The food was great and it was a great view by the water I had the salmon which was great and my girlfriend got the mahi mahi tacos which were also great my other friend got the chicken sandwich which was also great Our sever was excellent and accommodating Definitely will visit again I would definitely recommend read more

We loved the vibe despite the high noise level. I had the blackened grouper rueben with chips which could have been blackened more. We also ordered a lobster roll and a smash burger which were good; not great. Drinks were good (old fashioned & frozen strawberry margarita) but pricey. The Grouper Bites were PERFECT! read more

Snook Inn offers good seafood with a view right next to the water. Most of the menu offerings come with a trip to the salad bar. With fresh ingredients and great taste, you want to make sure you try the salad bar. On my last visit, I had the grouper sandwich, and it was just okay. The sandwich didn't come with any sauce and just tasted alright. Price wise, food here is kind of on the expensive side. read more

This place was packed on a Friday night. We waited about an hour for a table. The outdoor bar area was slammed and there is a line that forms for those standing to get a drink. The bar tables are not first come first serve and I watched like 5 families get elated, thinking they had just scored a table when someone got up only to find themselves booted when the server came back over and told them they had to check in with the front desk to be seated there. Seems like operations could figure out a way to make this more obvious and save themselves the headache. (‍) Back to my dinner.... We got seated inside. We got an appetizer and split the macadamia crusted fish after seeing it come out to other tables. The kitchen split it for us and we each got the salad bar. My son got fish sticks and ate all of them. Service was excellent. Kid friendly and it was worth the wait (although I prefer places you can make a reservation or less crowded spots typically). read more

Beautiful views from the inside overlooking the water way. Our server was very slow. The table next to us was eating before we ordered and they came in after us. The salad bar was delicious and a nice inclusion for most of the meals. Calamari was very good as was the peel and eat shrimp, Caesar salad, and beef dip sandwich. The lobster roll was not an authentic Boston lobster roll (being from there). Lobster rolls up there have lobster meat and mayo. That's it. No spices or lettuce. Even still, it was pretty good and a nice size for the price (especially including the salad bar). Next time I would eat outside. I feel like you get more of the island vibe outside vs inside. read more

3 stars for food, 4 stars for atmosphere. This is a place I would go to have drinks and appetizers or with a group of people. It is loud, there is live music. The waits seem to be long. You can eat in the dining room which does have a quieter atmosphere. Outside seating is at tables or picnic tables. It's nice you can grab a drink and wait by the water until your food is ready. The one trip to the salad bar during flu season was not in the top of my list of highlights. It had your standard offerings. I tried the grouper sandwich. It was good, but just bar food good. Not amazing. The kids Mac and cheese is true homemade, and that was delicious from what I sampled. The staff was friendly and accommodating. read more

This was my first time at the Snook Inn in a long time. It was the last day of my trip to Marco and my fourth place trying fish tacos and I gotta say... by far the best tacos I had the whole trip! There was a big piece of mahi in each tortilla, the toppings were just right, the barnacle blaster hot sauce added a nice zing, and the salad bar was fresh! I had 2 stand out moments: 1. the pickle bucket at the salad bar is fantastic. There are few things that go better with an ice cold Miller Lite than pickles (french fries will always be number 1 in that category) 2. Our sever, Shannon, went above and beyond. She was attentive, efficient, and checked in with us regularly. Great food, amazing service, wonderful atmosphere. I think it's safe to say that I'll be back at the Snook Inn whenever I'm on Marco! read more
