Serve only fresh, local and regional seafood from the U.S! 2. If it is shrimp, it will be Pink Gulf shrimp and none other! 3. No menu item will be made from pre-made or frozen products! 4. If the recipe is from the South it is good for the mouth! These aren't just rules; they are the words of a real individual who believed in a simple philosophy: "Give them the freshest food, prepared with care, and they will keep coming back. Above all, make every meal a celebration!" Salty Papa We are pleased to report that the family legacy is alive and well. The quality is unmistakable; when you refuse to compromise on standards, it shows in every dish. Walking in, you truly feel as though you've stepped onto a boat. The rustic nautical theme perfectly embodies Florida living, and located right before the Fort Myers Beach bridge, it's the perfect dinner destination after a day on the water. Upon walking in, you truly feel like you've stepped into his personal Shrimp House. The ambiance makes you feel as if you are right aboard the boat, with a rustic nautical theme that perfectly embodies Florida living. Located right before the Fort mYERS beach bridge would make a excellent stop after a day at the beach. "The drink menu offered just as much variety as the kitchen. We started with the Dirty Arnold Palmer--crisp, refreshing, and done exactly right. Next was the Gator Bayou Water, which was greener than duckweed! (If you don't know what duckweed is, join the club; we had to look it up ourselves to verify the drink perfectly matched that vibrant, green aquatic hue.) To round out the assortment, we enjoyed a classic Mango Margarita and the Blue Mermaid, which tasted like a refreshing, iced blue piña colada. Whether you're looking for a classic or something adventurous, they have a signature sip for every mood. From their Peel & Eat Shrimp with an assortment of signature flavors (We got the Keylime sunset butter!!) to the standout Papa's Famous Charleston Shrimp & Grits, the variety is endless. Whether you want it fried, grilled, blackened, covered, or wrapped, they have mastered every possible variation. To start we enjoyed crispy, crunchy, pillowy hushpuppies that immediately took a dive into the housemade remoulade. For the entree the coconut crusted chicken with their pinacolada sauce, it was an elevated chicken strip with a tropical touch. As well as their hickory bacon wrapped shrimped basted with their bbq brushed with care But the hospitality doesn't stop there--there is truly something for everyone. They even offer a 'doggie menu' for those enjoying the patio, making it a genuinely family-friendly destination. In Southwest Florida, it's rare to find a spot that balances high-quality seafood with such a welcoming, inclusive atmosphere. Thank you to our amazing servers Stacy D & Pedro! We will be back!

Over an ok experience allow me to do a deep dive on why such a bad review. I went to the…read moreestablishment for a late lunch w/ mom she ordered fried oysters no problem I ordered fresh 1/2 dozen no problem. I also ordered hog fish * a Fl delicacy described as follows: Considered superior in taste and texture, often marketed as the "filet mignon of the sea". Well folks I was served tilapia and charged $28 for a $7 dollar dish. I hope the owner is reading this because you know it's dead wrong. I questioned the waitress Staci because I know this was bogus. Not her fault she does not run the kitchen. I did tell her I planned on reviewing the experience...... after 2 bites I took the food to go so I could prove that they knowingly price gouge customers. I was shocked to learn that misrepresenting fish in FL is considered a food violation and a finable offense....now i have evidence so let's see where this goes. Anyway guys when you go to Salty Papa order chicken wings and cheap drinks others they will try to scam you. See pics of tilapia vs their hogfish *same cheap fish. Also adding pics of real delicacy. This place is a fraud. Owner left a very aggressive response. Not sure why when you got your $28 and I left my phone number. No need to be Sassy if you are really customer satisfaction tag you're it. Enjoy your weekend!

Keep out you Eagles fans - find your own crab place! The food is excellent. Very fresh, and delicious. Large amounts of garlic and butter. If you're not a fan - then it's not for you. I'm going to warn you, because they are so busy (lots of takeout) the wait time is long. And very limited seating with only 4 picinic style tables in the back. Also know, if you're going to eat crabs - perpare to get messy. Don't wear your sunday best. Also the AC isn't the best - probably could spend a few extra dollars on that. I had the Jerry Jones, but next time I'm going to try the Crusty Crab. My daughter had the Pops Special. Both were excellent. Looking forward to coming back.
