    Food
    David D.

    The process is evolving. The food goes from the grill to the right. Then it goes to the left. By the time it's picked up, it's cooling off. The old boiler room delivered it steamy. The grill might be in the wrong place and too small. You can't pierce a carrot with a plastic fork. The salad is very good and a nice size. But it's hard to eat with a plastic fork. The service was very good. The food is good . It's great to have the boiler room back. .

    We tried to get into the Boiler Room last night for dinner but there was an hour wait so we went back and had lunch today. There is a lot of hype around this restaurant - longtime Bradenton local spot now under new ownership after being closed for 5 years or so. We loved it! We ordered 1/2 steak cheesesteaks with provolone cheese, peppers, onions and mushrooms. They came with shoestring French fries. Delicious!! Very flavorful and the soft bun, superb. 1/2 order was the perfect size. The wait staff was terrific. This restaurant certainly has a bar feel about it. Four flat screen TVs, high top and bar seating, along with traditional seating around the inside wall. We will be back!

    Amazing food ! Great service! The French fries omg so good ! Josh and Stacy have done a wonderful job running the place . The chili is the best I wish I would've ordered the bowl instead of the cup ! Read the negative reviews on here ignore them just a bunch of pretentious cry babies.

    Potato Keg Special, two bites of awesome (what's left of em anyway but not for long )

    I'd read mixed reviews but why pass up a casual dining place on the water?…read more I found a parking spot close by and opted to walk instead of taking the xl golf cart that they offer rides to the restaurant. It's hot out and there's a breeze and the restaurant is at a marina so lots of boats to look at while walking. When I entered the restaurant I told the desk I had a reservation and I was immediately seated. The waiter asked if I wanted a drink as he dropped off the menu and I said I'd like a minute - a place like this you really need to soak up the view. When he returned with water I ordered a draft and a couple half size happy hour appetizers to start. The oysters were good - decent size, not briny and they came with lemon, horseradish cocktail sauce and a tiny bottle of Tabasco. The conch fritters were very good, I especially liked the sauce they came with. They were crispy on the outside and soft and pretty good flavor on the inside. Decided on the fish bites appetizer for the rest of today's meal - the fish came out quick and was hot and tasted fresh. Service was great, food good.... If there's any negative it's that maybe the fryer oil is not at temp or needs changing as all the fried food seemed a little darker than I expected....still tasted good though. I'll definitely be back - had a couple good suggestions from the waiter that I can't wait to try.

    My wife and I were visiting a friend in Bradenton, and we were hungry, so we stopped by here before…read moreheading home, as I had a hankering for some seafood. We parked and walked the deck to the restaurant, we walked in and were greeted by the host, and were asked if we wanted to sit inside or out, we chose out and were led to a table on the deck, which had a beautiful view of the water, and gave us menus. Our server came and brought us water, we ordered something to drink and perused the menu. There was lots to choose from, and even though I wanted fish, I saw the burger and nearly went with that, but I decided to get the Blackened Mahi sandwich instead, I also ordered the Smoked Mahi Fish Dip as an appetizer. The fish dip came, complete with the prerequisite saltines, which I love, and while the dip was okay, it wasn't great. Not very smoky and too tuna-salady. Still, i enjoyed it, and it was a large portion. My wife ordered a burger, and they bought hers as well as my sandwich. They were both on brioche buns, and I was disappointed that the buns were not toasted- that would've made the sandwiches! My Mahi was okay, good flavor and firm flesh, I wish I had ordered black beans & yellow rice, however, as the fries were not very inspiring. We finished and got the bill, I should've asked before ordering, as the Mahi sandwich was listed as "MP," it was a whopping $28.00! While it was good, it wasn't $30 bucks good, but hey, you're paying for the view. This is a nice place inside, and the view of the water are spectacular but it is a bit pricey in my book. However, our server was awesome, as well as the staff, so I would definitely come back here.

    We all stopped in for a bite and a beer. It's been a while…read moreand wanted to give the place another chance. Last time it was mediocre fried food. This time : 8 of us arrived at 8pm. Orders messed up multiple times None of the plates brought out to table landed at the right person. Draft beer ordered came out in bottles. Soda - a few orders - came out flat. Food was marginal: None of the first batch of fries came out warm. 6 plates. The replacement fries sent out later were fried to desiccation. Smash burgers were good. Philly pork sandwich was on point too. Mussels tasted like ammonia. But we were advised by the.sharp talking manager they were "fresh" (not old as I, a 40 year fisherman suggested). She gleamed when she stated she took them off the bill. (? Ok. Thanks?) And said she'd talk to her supplier. Sorry folks. If you have the food in your custody it's on you if you if you choose to serve food that's spoiled. Not recommended. As locals we try to keep in palmetto. But these guys all seemed more interested in getting us out so they could go home. Changed from an angry * to ** as my lovely wife reminded me the burgers were good. And the $7 beers in bottle - not flat.

    Theres plenty parking…read more We got here a little late and almost at the ending time of the buffet. The staff was friendly and got us a table right away. The only thing was that all the food was old, there was no bread available and most of the choices were no longer being replenished. But we still paid the same as everyone else. I do not have a problem with the lack of options and the older food at the end of the buffet but i believe if I will not get the same quality as the earlier people and the options they should lower the price for the scraps squad. I don't think this is a place I would recommend
