Squid Lips

Do you offer any in-house catering for an event?

We do do not provide catering at this time

What is on the kids menu? I see all the options for adults but nothing for kid options.

They’re able to adjust any portion for kids so tinder’s, etc can be made in a size for children. They don’t specifically list a kids menu but are able to adjust for you.

Does it smell fishy? I'm with someone who cannot stand the smell of seafood (like raw shrimp, briny fish, etc) so I just want to make sure it smells okay.

Not in the slightest.

Now the clam chowder is another thing. It was lacking seasonings, and the clams really chewy, and vegtables mixed (some over cooked, others under cooked). Adding some salt and pepper made it several times better, but honestly proper seasoning should be done while preperation of food with additional seasonings only needed in small doses. Overall the staff was extremely freindly and helpful, and service was great. The overall value was good. I would go again and try some of the other items on the menu.

I would rate this place 0 stars if I could. The food was okay, though hugely overpriced for what we got. The service sucked. We weren't able to get seating outside, so we had to sit in the bar area. The "waiter" (i.e. bartender) took forever to bring us menus, plates, silverware, etc. Took even longer to take our orders. And I watched him across the room...he wasn't busy. When I ordered my shrimp basket, he told me it came with a vegetable medley. I told him I didn't really want that. He told me, "Well, that's what it comes with." And he turned away to take my husband's order. RUDE!! Waiters should ALWAYS offer different alternatives! The food was not hot when it finally arrived, and the portions were small. He stopped by a few times to ask if we needed soda refills, but otherwise did not waste any more time on us. He didn't even ask if we'd like dessert. He just dropped the bill on the table and walked away. When you add that to the fact that they deliberately add an extra surcharge to your bill to cover the cooks/dishwashers' wages because they're too cheap to pay them a decent wage...no, we will NEVER be returning to SquidLips! $95 for three small tepid meals that didn't even include sides we liked? Outrageous!! read more

Great! Love that they are in the old Conchy Joe's location and saved the building. It is a fun building. Has some character which really lacks in this area. Clams as appetizers were excellent. We had a problem that the pipes above us were leaking and we were getting rained on!. The manager addressed it, (the servers appeared to not know how to handle)moved us, however our server abandoned us. They were busy, but it was something that he needed to manage. Either give us to the server in the seating area or remember that we moved. He literally never came back and then didn't acknowledge it or apologize or offer a free dessert when we insisted that he return. It is all still a new change, but with a few tweaks to polish their act, it is a great outing. read more

I visited Squid Lips in Melbourne on a Sunday evening with my daughter. We sat on the beach which was a nice atmosphere on the water and my daughter enjoyed playing in the clean white sand. Our server, "Sily Lily" was lovely. My daughter was tickled to see she had the same name as her. Lily gave us great service and was patient and friendly. We enjoyed the Smoked Fish Dip which came with plenty of flavor and crackers. I got the Oak Grilled Fish Sandwich with blackened salmon. It was AMAZING, I will be ordering again. My daughter also enjoyed her meal, she ate all of it. If you are looking for a refreshing alcoholic beverage, I would suggest the Island Water. my experience was very pleasant and we will be returning. read more

If you're a non-smoker and want to sit on the patio don't go to Squid Lips, establishment's management doesn't care, if the table next to you engulfs you in their toxic vapor smoke, management reply, "it's outside you'll have to deal with it" was basically what he told me. Bull shit, I don't have to be subjected to someone's second-hand toxic bad habit. SQUID LIPS YOU LOST OUR BUSINESS, and I encourage other non-smokers to complain about the toxic patio smoke. I'll provide a solution Squid Lips which I did provide the manager -- designate a small area off to the side of the building for smoking. Stay healthy my friends......... read more

I was visiting for a short time, this is one of the restaurants that was recommended to me. I wound up eating there twice - the brunch was very good, I would have said it was overpriced but we had a BOGO 1/2 off coupon which made it well worth it, I liked the Egg Benedict station the best. I also had the fish special one night, I believe it was double portion because the quantity was huge! It was also very, very good. Honestly, I only dinged it one star because I ate outside to enjoy the weather and water, and apparently you can still smoke there. Not a fan of that, I wound up going back inside. read more

We have been here several times with the family and the food is OK at best. The kids like being outside and by the water, so on a weekend afternoon its good for that. The service is usually pretty good, but this last time was not. We were ignored by the hostess for the longest time and she practically slammed our silverware and menus on the table, the food took forever, and we were constantly out of drinks. It really is a shame, because with the proper management I think they could have a really good thing going there. read more

The worst service I have ever had in my life. The waiter had to be on drugs to be that dense. Never asked if we wanted refills, gave a sorry excuse and blamed the bartender when my wife asked where the lemons she asked for were. All the manager did was say he would speak to the waiter later. I've had 100 times better service and food at a similar place called Alabama Jacks on Card Sound Rd on the way to key largo. The owner needs to take a trip and find out what a good restaurant is. read more

I asked the bar tender if he would please change the channel on one of the TVs. He said "no, not right now".

I've given squidlips chance after chance and they've failed every time. Friday night was their last chance for me. The food was bland and forgettable, as usual. The wait staff seemed overwhelmed, even though it appeared to be a lot of them there. The drinks are pointless, with minimal alcohol. Not worth the time or money. Our server was either rude or nowhere to be found. I'm never very hard to please, but this place has been consistently mediocre at best. read more

Technically the job got done, but something important is missing when you're stuck watching a sad drunk dude make balloon animals. Then we got our orders in.... And we waited. Actually we didn't just wait... we waaaaaaaaaiiiiiiitttttted. I'm reasonably confident one of the kids at our table graduated college before the food arrived. Then I flew to china, adopted another kid, sent them to med school, and celebrated their lifetime achievements before being graced with the presence of our food. When it finally did show up, it was... fine. It's bar food, and it tasted like bar food. Unfortunately, the extra 45 minutes in development didn't evolve it into a Michelin-starred masterpiece. Nobody at our table hated their meal, but nobody was writing poetry about it either. Now for the part nobody comes to Yelp to read... the bathrooms. Friends... these bathrooms achieved what I can only describe as the Three F's: Floods. Floaters. And Fecal matter. It looked less like a restroom and more like the aftermath of a natural disaster that FEMA had quietly decided to abandon. Maybe I'm weird, but I've always believed the restroom is the restaurant's backstage pass. If that's what customers see, I start wondering what the kitchen looks like when nobody's watching. Would I come back? Maybe... if I had just climbed off a floating tiki bar, the sun was setting, and my expectations were somewhere around sea level. Otherwise... I'd probably keep driving.

I'd love to review the food, but I've never actually made it that far. The "bartenders" seem to operate under the impression that customers are an unfortunate side effect of working in a bar. I spent a decade behind the stick myself, so I understand bad shifts, shitty customers, being slammed, and wanting to throw a bar rag at someone. But these people appear genuinely offended that you had the audacity to walk in, sit down, and attempt to give them money. Management might want to consider a controlled burn followed by a complete rebuild. Seriously, if your resting facial expression says, "I fucking hate you and everything about this place," maybe hospitality isn't your calling. There are plenty of careers where interacting with humans is optional. And spare me the "restaurant business is tough" excuse. Sandbar manages to employ people who don't look like they're serving a prison sentence. Long Doggers somehow finds employees capable of making eye contact without conveying pure contempt. So apparently it can be done. At this point, I have no idea if the food here is amazing, terrible, or prepared by a Michelin-starred raccoon in the back. I'll probably never know, because I can't survive the first line of defense long enough to order it. Maybe management should stop worrying about getting people through the door and start asking why the people behind the bar seem so pissed off that they came.
