    Grouper Philly with Hush Puppies
    Barry M.

    A fun little place in IRB on Gulf Blvd. We stopped in for an early dinner and were able to be seating right away in the back bar. Even though we're in our early 60's it seemed like we were the youngest people there. The server was awesome and waited on us immediately. They have a decent selection of beers and a full bar. They state that all of their drinks are made: "with a wine base liquor is a fermented beverage flavored to mimic the taste of a traditional distilled spirit". Sounded intereting but wasn't willing to spend the money to just try it. I did try the Grouper Philly sandwich which was very good. I'm always on a quest to try Grouper served a different way and they did a great job. My wife ordered the Grouper Rueben and also liked it very much. We both ordered hush puppies and would agree with a another reviewer that they had good flavor but were very dense. All in all not a bad place and my only reason for not doing 5 stars is the back bar was super small and I felt like our neighbors were sitting super close. Despite that we'd go back and try the front dining room. Good food.

    Excellent restaurant! My parents and I come here every year for dinner. The service is always fantastic. I highly recommend the frozen strawberry margarita! The fish is yummy too. A great place!

    Perfect spot for lunch when you have a beach day. Stopped in for shrimp tacos and they were delicious. Service was great and food was really good. Highly recommend for lunch or a cocktail while on a beach day.

    Exactly what you would want out of a beachside restaurant. Small, casual, charming, with friendly staff & solid food. Had great kids chicken tenders (we kept snacking off of them too), good French fries & great grouper tacos. Will definitely be back.

    Grouper sandwich
    Teresa C.

    This place is not to be missed if you are on gulf boulevard . Grouper sandwich is probably one of the bests I've ever had .. crunchy coating and a thick juicy piece of grouper .. grouper tacos are spicy and they are not stingy with the grill grouper either . Royal reds .. steamed or cold .. I prefer cold .. large size ones too . Highly recommend and ask for Val she is awesome .

    Small bar

    This is such a fun beachy bar and restaurant. The service was excellent and the food came out quickly and hot. There is a small, friendly bar and a bunch of surfboard tables We had oysters, grouper cheeks, bacon wrapped shrimp, and a grouper dinner. All of our food was well prepared and tasty. There is parking right out in front.

    Great food, great service. We will return. The only downside is that it is not a big place. Maybe 12-15 tables.

    Do they take reservations?

    I don't think so, but you could give them a call a see.

    Not that they need another glowing review, but I'll leave one nonetheless…read more I was hoping to get Shrimp n Grits but server said they didn't have that item. So I went with the Pork Chop and it was excellent. That's coming from someone that doesn't usually like pork chops. But this was so moist and not like those that are overdone. We also really enjoyed the Lobster Bisque and Mushroom Bisque even though it wasn't soup weather at all. Definitely make reservations no matter what day of the week. You may have a better chance at lunch without a ressie.

    We made a reservation on 5/16/26 for outdoor seating but it was far too hot so we moved inside. The…read morefood was good. Not mind-blowing but decent. We ordered the grilled oysters and those were delicious. A couple little loaves of bread and olive oil with tasty herbs were brought with our appetizer and it was really wonderful and fresh. Both of us ordered a cup of the lobster bisque, but I didn't care for it as it tasted more like artificial crab than it did lobster. I sent it back and got the mixed salad. I ordered the swordfish entree and it was really wonderful. After dinner, hubby and I split a slice of key lime pie which was really good but not great. Service was awkward as our server was a little inattentive and it delayed our evening longer. So overall the food was really good (bad lobster bisque) but service was lacking. I'd try it again if we are in the area, as not every server is the same.

    Broke N Bored - Name Checks Out…read more We visited Broke N Bored with a group of 6 adults and 3 kids, and after nearly 2 hours waiting for our food, I can confirm the "Bored" part of the name is extremely accurate. I spent most of the meal wondering if the "Broke" part referred to the stove. When we arrived, there was only one other family in the restaurant, so naturally we expected a reasonable wait. Instead, we had enough time to watch the tides change, discuss our retirement plans, and nearly raise the children to adulthood before the entrees arrived. To start things off, we were encouraged to sit outside in the blazing Florida sun. With three little kids, that wasn't happening. The staff did move us inside, but seemed less than thrilled about it. Considering how long we ended up waiting, sitting outside would've turned us into SpongeBob from his out of water movie. Appetizers: * The PB&J Brussels sprouts were fantastic. Unique, flavorful, and easily the best thing we ordered. * The seared tuna was very good. * The calamari tasted good, but apparently calamari prices must be through the roof because there were more fried banana peppers than actual squid. Service: The waitresses were friendly, but drink refills and table check-ins could have been much better. During a two-hour dining experience, hydration becomes a survival issue. Entrees: * The mahi was excellent. * The "pineapple slaw" had about as much pineapple flavor as a bag of plain cabbage. Just call it slaw and save everyone's expectations. * The crab cakes were mediocre and thinner than Slender Man. * The Caesar chicken wrap was okay, but I had to conduct an archaeological dig through the lettuce to locate the chicken. * Fries were fine. * The chicken caprese was decent if you got a bite with everything together, but the chicken itself was chewy and lacking flavor. * Mashed potatoes were dry. * Pulled pork was okay, but nothing memorable. * The Black & Blue burger was decent. By the time our entrees arrived, nobody had the patience left for dessert, so we skipped it. One final note: a restaurant this size having only two high chairs is a bold strategy for a family-friendly beach area. Overall, there were a few genuinely good menu items, especially the Brussel sprouts and mahi, and the staff was pleasant. But waiting almost two hours for food in a restaurant that wasn't busy overshadows nearly everything else. The food was mostly decent. The experience? Long enough to make the restaurant's name feel less like branding and more like a warning.
