I found Waypoint thanks to their membership in an RV hospitality program, which means that I was able to spend the night here for free in their parking lot. I arrived ten minutes before the kitchen closed which meant that I could enjoy a plate of fresh hot chicken wings and a couple of beers before the place fully shut down for the night. On a weeknight, they close early - 7pm. Inside seating at the bar and there are tables. They also have a few tables on their screened patio and a separate space across the lot that is probably the smoking area. Crystal (sp?) was friendly and helpful and a delight. I had a great evening and a quiet night's sleep. [Review 1331 of 2026 - 2267 in Florida - 26510 overall] read more

We stumbled across this gem after being caught in a really bad storm and decided to stop before continuing our journey to Tampa. We got the smoked fish spread which was excellent. It paired well with the jalapeño and chipotle sauce. We also got the yard bird burrito that really hit the spot after being caught in the rain. The chicken was well cooked and seasoned. They packed a lot of food in the burrito which we appreciated. The staff were extremely friendly and the restaurant was really nice and well kept. Though it wasn't a day they have live music the vibe was still overall relaxing and definitely a place we would stop again read more

Stopped in for lunch with friends while we were in the area and had a great experience. The bartender was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome right away. The beer selection offered plenty of solid options and our food did not disappoint. I ordered the Pescadero rice bowl featuring fresh mahi mahi and it was fantastic. The Aztec salad served alongside it was light and refreshing. I'm already looking forward to coming back to enjoy the patio and catch some live music soon! read more

Waypoint Bar and Grill - Sangria and guacamole special for $10! Delicious homemade chicken fingers and side salad - everything was fresh and tasty! - Mexican Near Me - Palmetto, Florida

Nice little brewery with a good variety of items on their menu and fair prices. The freshly made salsa was delicious!! They don't sell it in the brewery but once a month they have a nice vendor fair where you can purchase it at one of the many local vendors. Worth stopping into as well to see what treasures you might find! read more

Enjoyed a very nice lunch at waypoint with good options and reasonable prices. They also have regional musicians playing on weekend afternoons and evenings. read more

Food was great and reasonable!! Service was a bit slow, but the bartender was trying to do the bar and waitress, so I am sure someone didn't make it to work. Once she got some of the chores done, she was fabulous!!! Ambiance was fun and unexpected- we will go back soon!! read more

We've been meaning to go to this place for ages as we tend to drive that section of 41 a lot. I'm so glad we finally did because it is a really cool place. The food was excellent and, although we couldn't partake at the time, their beer selection looked great. It had a bunch of outdoor seating and looked like a great place to relax, have a beer, munch some tacos and listen to local music. read more

Always good to bring a friend for the first time! Everyone wants to come back again! Friendly and good food and beer... read more

Food was great as was the service. 4 of us each had a different meal and each of us thought the food was great.

They had a waitress that was awesome , great server , great personality all around the best we have ever had wait on us and recently we went to see her and she's no longer working here!! We are very disappointed and only went here because of her mind you there is no liquor license here either so drinks are very limited so we will be looking for her and in the meantime find another restaurant/ bar to go to . read more

Always great food, service, and ambience with the option for indoor or outdoor seating. Good selection of draft beers and cider. We have never been disappointed in anything we have ordered food or drink wise. It is our favorite place do go after kayaking since they have a big parking lot which can accommodate us. They have a daily Taco Twosday where you can get a draft beer or cider and two tacos for $10 which is a great deal! read more

So this is place if you drive by too fast you'll never know it's there! Glad we stopped in as it was an enjoyable and unsuspecting treat. A combination bar and restaurant venue with an array of tap beers but no "hard" alcohol. Menus are laminated adventure and your served on paper plates and meals are packed in to go boxes already. Food choices were really unexpected with some "neat" offerings. We picked 3 but need to go back to try the others that caught our attention. Service was great considering there was only in server working and she kept up with it all. read more

This is a laid back spot for to get a local beer. The tacos are good too. Hours are limited.

Food was fabulous, service was attentive and a cool little joint! Live music outside and the wait staff supplied bug spray for those who wanted it! Now that's service! read more

Very cool place in the middle of nowhere. Fish tacos and shrimp wrap wee awesome. Service was very good, and the place was fun. It was surprising how busy they got as the evening went by. Plenty of room outside as well. read more

I've been coming to Waypoint Bar and Grill consistently for about 6 months. Literally a weekly meal of mines! I'm in love with their customer service, the Owner is always hands on and very friendly. Jamie also gives me amazing service and is very sweet. The space layout is unique and fun. They have tables/seats outdoor and indoors as well as a small outdoor bar connected to the building. They have craft beers and weekly live music. I enjoy coming here! Dishes I've had : Azteca Salad : 10/10 my favorite salad ever. Goat cheese, lettuce, strawberries are always fresh! The sunflower seeds just give it the nutty and crunch it needs. I want to find this lemon poppy seed dressing or the recipe! Mahi Mahi : 8/10 very good but as Mahi can be it does get a bit dry. The sides rice, and beans were very good. Sweet Shrimp : 9/10 Delicious, always cooked perfectly and not too sweet. Pizza : 7/10 Tortilla Crust is clever and honestly tastes very good, but I believe it is over priced for the size and ingredients. read more

Nice atmosphere. Feels like a local bar. Service was attentive and friendly, although it was pretty quiet when i visited. Grouper sandwich was pretty bad - fish overcooked and very salty. It fell apart while cooking, too, so I had like grouper nuggets instead of a fillet. read more

One of the very best places to eat, drink great local microbrews, and listen to live music outside on the weekends! Open everyday except Monday, for lunch and dinner. Laid back atmosphere with delicious selection of food! A fantastic addition to Palmetto!! read more

This is a confusing restaurant. It looks beachy but has a Mexican menu that is more like chain Mexican. Disappointed.

Waypoint Bar and Grill - Wine Margarita - Mexican Near Me - Palmetto, Florida

We've been wanting to try this place since driving past it off the 41 last month. Today was the day, a lovely Sunday at 12:30. It's more of a food truck as the kitchen with a nice building built next door to house the bar, some tables and the restrooms. Everything is nice and clean. Reggae was playing, and there was a turntable and nice selection of records nearby. The menu is simple and a bit unusual. I wanted a burrito and there were 4 real choices: a bean and cheese, a shrimp (bought that to go), a chicken and the Frito Bandido; I chose the last one. My order came with crips and salsa (a creamy chipotle that had a bite to it). My wife ordered a carne asada bowl and it was medium-sized with rice and beans and tasty. I had two draft beers and they were both good. The beers can be costly, up to $10 a pint. They had a special draft, the Cheeky Blonde, for $5.61. Not a lot of people there this afternoon, so plenty of seating inside and out. Service was friendly and efficient. Definitely a place I'd like to come back to with friends. read more

If you're nearby or looking for somewhere relaxing to hang with amazing people, just come. Jake at the bar is on point. Not taking anything away from the staff because they all "care" about their customers. read more

Great food, service and atmosphere. Smaller menu of Mexican style food but all has been delicious. Several local beer choices and they also have wine. Laid back, beachy style decor, and they usually have live music. My only wish is that they were open a little later on the weekends. It's a smaller restaurant so seating can be limited but well worth giving them a try. read more

It's really not a bar. They don't have any liquor, at all. How can you call yourself a bar. Also, no Mexican beer at all.

This was my first time here although my Wife and son have enjoyed this restaurant several times. Relatively small roadside bar and grill open for lunch and diners. The menu choices are a limited but adequate mix of Mexican and seafood. That said, the serving sizes were good and food was quite tasty. We had the sugar shrimp (grilled shrimp on sugar canes), Steak Quesadilla, Tacos, and the Azteca salad. All were quite good and served by a friendly efficient waitress. Found out every day is Taco Tuesday with 2 tacos and a beer being $10. Seating available inside or outside on their terrace with very adequate free parking. Very refreshing place for a light inexpensive meal. read more

I personally ordered the Jalapeño Poppers for an appetizer. Service was marvelous, I had the fried shrimp basket very delightful. I liked the live music on Saturday prices were affordable. Would come here again. read more

We had a great experience here and will for sure be back! We had great food, drinks, and staff. Even the bathroom was clean!

We aren't big beer drinkers, bit my wife and I both got strawberry lime ciders. They tasted great! They also have wine and hard seltzer if you aren't into beer. There's a surprising qmount of food options too. You can order from the inside kitchen or the Mexican food truck outside. I got an order of Carne Asada tacos, and they were very good. The Chipotle salsa is delicious, and the meat was very well seasoned. read more

We loved the atmosphere and vibe of this restaurant. They've been here for about a year. It's on RT41 on the left going towards Palmetto tucked in on the corner just before the flea market lot, so it's easy to miss. They have a small sign out on the corner. They serve the food on paper plates and in to go boxes. We had a Valpak coupon for $10 off a $50 bill. They were out of the Leaven Cheeky Blonde so I got the Tampa Brewing Day Donkey which was a really good craft beer suggested by my server, Dawn. We enjoyed the Black Bean Nachos, 3 Shrimp Tacos, Sweet Bean Burrito, a Mexican Pizza, and the Mayan Pizza which had pesto, tomatoes, chicken, kalamata olives and cheese on a 10" corn tortilla. It was all quality delicious food! Dawn, our server was personable, helpful, and awesome. Prices and portions are reasonable. We will definitely visit again! read more

Discover the newly opened Waypoint Bar & Grill in Palmetto, Florida, north of Palmetto on 41, just past Moccasin Wallow. The nautical decor is very attractive, uncluttered, tastefully done, and welcoming. The bar is spotless, and there are both indoor and outdoor seating areas. The parking lot is huge and paved. Waypoint Bar & Grill is currently open Wednesday through Sunday, 11:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. The location is lovely, with swaying tall bamboos at the back of the property. A great deal of planning went into making Waypoint very special. The grill has its own food truck, with exceptionally delicious food. We had a taco pizza and a Frito Bandito Burrito, which came with an order of chips and salsa. Customers around us were ordering nachos, which looked amazing. They even offered small cheese pizzas for children. The owners focus on local Floria Breweries. Recent featured craft beers include Cycle Cream and Sugar Coffer Porter; Cycle Crank IPA; Cracked Thumb Grandpa Jack's PLS; Funky Buddha's Floridian Wheat; Motorworks Redcage Red Ale; Sailfish Tag and Release Amber; Sierra Nevada Hazy Little Thing PA; Tank Brewing La Playita PILS; and 7th Sun Graffiti Orange Wheat. We plan to go back often, and bring friends. read more

Comfortable and welcoming bar. There's great outdoor seating also. I thought the appetizers were great!

This is a cool place. Nice craft beer selection. The food is good but it's a fairly simple menu. I like the Nachos and the Frito burrito. Very kid friendly outside. read more

The ambiance sitting outside was nice but the food was a joke. Small portions, little to no flavor and high prices for what you get. The food was also served in disposable containers which isn't a big deal but the prices were not really indicative of take out food. There was only one waitress for the whole restaurant so we actually felt guilty asking her for anything. Expensive meal for something not even as good as Taco Bell. The outside area would be enjoyable for listening to live music but you might want to eat elsewhere before you come. read more
