Great Crab Cakes

Jan 2020 • none

Can't remember which night but they offer three crab dinner specials and the crab cakes are some of the best we've ever had with all crab and very little filling. The Yuengling Drafts are a bargain and the Meatball appetizer is very good. A variety of menu items including pizza. They have music on some nights but really need to invest in some decent speakers/ sound system. Overall, glad to see the new owner has kept things pretty much the same. If you're going there for dinner, highly recommend you call ahead and put your name on the list to avoid a long wait.

A nice lunch location on the water

Dec 2019 • none

Try any of the flatbread pizzas or the ahi tuna tacos. Also recommend the sliders on the kids menu. Service was a bit slow, but staffing seemed light, so maybe that impacted serve out time of food.

Twin lobster tail special is really 'special'.

Feb 2020 • none

The Monday and Wednesday twin lobster tail special brings huge crowds - and for a good reason. No reservations are taken for couples so call and get on a 'wait list' and you will usually be seated on or near the time of request. Delicious salad and baked potato with the tails. Pleasant outside seating.

You can make a better choice

Dec 2020 • none

You can make a better choice in Marco Island this place is absolutely absurd. First we made a reservation wrote down all of the details and who took it from us and they lost it. Second the place is like a Covid Petri dish If you think the virus is fake come here! The bar is disgusting smoky and full of rude people We tried the appetizer “fried” calamari with Asian sauce it was more like sugar soup with some calamari put in it so it became soaking wet sugar coated dripping but still sort of fried calamari I don’t know how they stay in business... it really the best place for heavy drinking locals or uninformed visitors who are willing to put up with this #%^* because they’re so desperate to be outside in the warm weather #NeverAgain

Lobster Night

Nov 2020 • none

Met friends here for dinner as per their suggestion for Monday Lobster Night. The place was busy, service was ok. We all actually ordered the Lobster Special which was 2 6 oz tails for $27.99. They were very good, but certainly not enough for my husband and myself. We could have eaten 2 more, needless to say we left hungry. Ice cream down the street from our hotel helped fill the hunger pangs.

Hidden Gem with nice view

Mar 2020 • none

Don’t let the strip mall vibe make you drive by. Hidden behind that facade is a nice, casual eatery with canal views. The menu is lengthy and affordable. He enjoyed a veggie burger with delish fries. I enjoyed a lobster tail. It came in combo with a “filet mignon” the Beef was tasty and cooked more or less as ordered but it was unlike any filet I’ve had. At $39.99 this was the most expensive dinner. Two lobster tails on the Monday & Wednesday special at $29.99 would have been a better choice. Really, I should have seen this was a great casual place and gone with any of the “pub/bar” items or sandwiches on the menu. I will be back.

Lobster special was excellent

Jun 2020 • none

We were seated outside with a lovely view of the water inlet on a night of their lobster special. The weather started to change and they quickly accommodated us on the inside, even thought the table had a "reserved" sign. The lobster dinner with accompaniments was delicious, and worth coming back for.

Super Food - will go back again

Sep 2020 • none

Great food! We had the Crab cake special and loaded Italian beef sandwich with sweet potato fries and loaded baked potato! WOW what a loaded baked potato, too! Sat outside for the water view - a little hot but they had portable a/c units, good job. We will go back for the food. Service was slow, saw more of the busboy than the waiter. Meal was a little over $50 for 2 entrees, no drinks or dessert but worth it.

Great Lobster Special!

Mar 2022 • none

We ate here on a Monday evening for their twin lobster special. Two of us shared the meal, with a $10 upcharge but we each got to pick 2 side dishes. The food was great. We also had some of their rum punch - and it packed a punch! It came in a cute little plastic bucket that a young child would certainly be happy to play with at the beach. Be sure to make reservations several days to a week ahead of time, especially if you want to request a table outside on the water.

Went for Thanksgiving.

Nov 2020 • none

Went for Thanksgiving. Seated at a small cocktail table for our dinner. Hardly enough room for our drinks and plates. Friend requested dark meat, was told only white meat available. Obviously they only cooked turkey breasts. Portions were adequate. However, safety is obviously not a concern at this restaurant. Hostess had a mask only covering her mouth. There was no social distancing between tables. Servers did wear masks. Masks were not required by customers and my friend and I were the only ones wearing ones upon entering and leaving the restaurant. If you are concerned about the virus transmission I would not recommend dining here. But if you believe there’s no Covid on Marco then this is the place to be.

Really?!

May 2021 • none

Our lunch was good, but the service was pretty lackluster....just the basics: Sit wherever you want, here's your menu. Highly offensive ambiance with a boat behind it with a flag reading F*ck Biden. Nobody should have to take their kids into a place with that staring them in the face, and would have been just as offensive if it had said F*ck Trump. I believe it was docked at the marina behind it, but someone should walk next door and ask them to put the flag away. All in all not the good experience we've had in the past there. Please step up the attention to details such as being sure the food is coming out hot...seems like French onion soup should be right out of the oven.

Worst restaurant experience ever!

Dec 2020 • none

From the start I knew this was going to be a different night of dining. We made a reservation but way to many people arriving and given beepers. After finally seating, we waited about 10 minutes for our waitress to arrive for a drink order. That’s when after that things went hay wire, about 1/2 the appetizers arrived, then 2 dinners. Asked why our salads did not come out. Then after asking again because we waited for another 20 minutes if our salads were ever coming out. Finally here come some salads. Brought out by different servers shouting who had blue cheese, who had thousand island. Then another 1/2 hour goes bye and we had to ask again where’s our dinners. Remember 2 ate theirs about an hour before. Then they bring out all but one, but the two who received their dinner had another one for them? Asked where my dinner was, oh boy forgot that one, another 15 minutes, we arrived at 7pm and received our dinners at 9:10. I called the manager to tell them we just had a free meal due to the complete nightmare. My family was now making me feel terrible asking why I chose to bring them there instead of a better choice. Free didn’t happen, but he made a huge error, lost me my friends and anyone who asks, stay away. By the way the owner wasn’t even there to speak to had to call him. Really dedicated.

Evidently don't need business

May 2020 • couples

We've gone out 4 or 5 times since restaurants reopened. In most cases we could see extra care was taken by staff for sanitation and in all cases (except this one) the businesses seemed appreciative. On this night we got there at 4:30. There was no indication of 6 ft separation, staff did not wear gloves or masks and the pizza was luke warm at best. When we asked that they warm it up there was an indifferent "sorry bout that". When it came back out is was better but still not hot. Chicago style? It was soggy. This may have been my last trip there because the food is always just OK. You'd think management would be on top of things because of the recent reopening. Guess not!

Outstanding Deep Dish Pizza!

May 2020 • couples

The deep dish pizza can easily feed a 3 or more people! Great pizza with sauce on top. Sauce has some spices to it, very tasty. Sat outside by the waterfront and watched the marina load and unload boats. Had a nice breeze with the fans. Nice relaxing atmosphere and had Kyle as our server. He is really a pleasant conversationslist. I would also suggest reservations after 5 PM since there is less seating with the virus.
