    Offending pet?
    Deborah S.

    Always excellent service the guys are always on it. Food always good satisfied my hot dog craving! Only negative for me it's a big kid place. People don't watch their little brats so they come next to our table and stare at us.. if I wanted dinner with little kids I would have brought my own.. kidding I don't have any! My hubby told me good thing I don't have any I wouldn't be a good mother. No shit!

    Was drawn to this cute little restaurant by its look. Tucked under palm trees with a really cool patio in the back and beach patio on the side. They played a great beach type selection of music. Unfortunately, because they were serving a private party, we weren't able to get seated in the back patio. Instead we chose the side patio which is cute but noisy from the U.S. 1 traffic. We started our dinner by sharing a bowl of the lobster bisque. Couldn't find any lobster but the soup was thick and tasty. We then moved on to the fried shrimp and the fried clam dinners. The shrimp was the winner here but neither dish was special. Not bad but simply not special. The waffle fries side was a different twist. We also tried Cajun rice and black beans. All were ok but nothing special. Service was excellent with just the right attention. If you're interested in a cool setting and great music and are ok with simply ok food you'll enjoy this place.

    Great atmosphere! The kids loved being out in the rain while we relaxed after our lunch. Covered out door area with tables. Corn hole for when it's dry. Food was excellent and the beer was cold and fresh

    What a cool, casual spot to have a great lunch. The restaurant reminded me of being in the Keys. The decorations and atmosphere made it possible. I enjoyed my lunch here. The staff was friendly and the food service super fast. I was happy. I got the clam chowder and loved it. It tasted great and it was nice and crunchy. I then ordered the Crunchy Fish Platter. This was a big meal. The fish filets were a good size. It came with two sides. The onion rings were really good, everything was very good. The restaurant is cute inside. It has weekly specials and it is kid friendly. It is divided into three sections. One in the back, one inside air-conditioned with a bar, and one area open in the front. The front area has a kid's mini golf area. The atmosphere is great here. The restaurant had a big parking lot. The place was easy to find. I had a good meal and I liked the place.

    We had lunch here. We sat inside as it was so hot the day we came here, and they were busy with every seat taken at every table. When we left, we noticed that the outside tiki area in the back was also filled with patrons. There is a large convenient parking lot right outside the free-standing building. The signs on the side of the restaurant and out front are hard to miss. As hot dogs are their specialty that is what we ordered. They were promoting their fried fish, however, which turned out to be Swai (Vietnamese catfish) which the server inaccurately described as "like grouper"(!). My husband had their Chicago dog topped with all sorts of stuff along with a side of waffle fries. it was okay. The fries were good. I had their chili dog. We both got the larger/longer hot dog. The menu says they are all beef. I asked for my hot dog to be well done and it was split on the grill -- which was exactly like I prefer it done. The hot dogs were fine. Service was acceptable although the gal stopped to have a long discussion (about her tattoos) with another table that seemed to take forever. What we liked most about the place was that they were casual, and the hot dogs were reasonably priced.

    In Stuart for a pre-holiday weekend and had to stop for a hot dog. We were among the first diners before lunch crowd started to arrive, so we had made our selections and enjoyed our soft drink beverages while we waited. The fun decor adorns the walls and the casual ambiance is relaxing. Our orders arrived, my Chicago Long dog looked and tasted great! The accompanying waffle fries were a hit as well. My wife had a Long Chili dog which she also enjoyed. If you are hankering for a good hot dog, this is the place and perhaps enjoy a beer with your meal!

    I've been here a couple of times and the food is pretty consistent. Not sure it's the highest quality of seafood but it's pretty tasty! I love how they always have specials, that's the menu I usually order off of. The portions are pretty large, especially the kids fish fingers! My kids loved playing on the little green, it kept them entertained for quite a bit. Overall great spot!

    Hello everyone, yesterday I had the Maine Lobster with fries and corn on the cob. The lobster was so delicious and tasty. Our server was very nice and attentive. I highly recommend checking out Dune Dog. The waffle fries are so good too.

Decided to stop in for tuna stack and guacamole (that we've previously enjoyed on prior occasions). Seemed odd that on a Thursday evening at 6pm the hostess asked if we had reservations. That should have tipped us off that things were different. The bar was full and the very loud. Our server didn't know what fish was on the special for the evening. We weren't enticed, so we went with our original order. Then the disappointment set in; the tuna stack was literally have the size of the ones we've had there. The mango salsa layer wasn't salsa it was bland chopped mango. The bottom layer of guac was about an inch and the chop tuna was light pink to white (at best). Needless to say the "shareable" lasted about three bites each for two people. Regretfully, we ordered the guacamole that was also disappointing. The portion was smaller than before and lacked flavor (seasoning). A few nuggets of corn topper and no cheese (as described on the menu). That "shareable" comes with a salsa that was the coup de grâce of disappointment; it was runny and lacked any semblance of chopped vegetables. It literally tasted like spaghetti sauce and not the good type. We pulled up our Yelp review from last year and sure enough the portions are not even close in terms of size or presentation. We showed the server our pics from last year's Yelp post and she said that she's never had that order. She gave the chef our feedback. Later on she came back and said the chef acknowledged the "salsa" consistency. He offered to make a fresh batch... our plates were gone by that time and we weren't about to take that offer. The grand finale ended with the check being delivered and our server telling us "an automatic 18% service fee is added to the check"... my wife and I looked at each other with utter disgust. We wasted $47 on two awful shareables and one unsweetened tea. It's sad to see yet another restaurant go down the drain so quickly. It seems like PSC went under new management and lost their kitchen and serving staff. Uploading a new pic of the "soupy salsa" to compare with what we previously had

The birthday girl had the short rib grilled cheese which looked exactly like the pictures. She managed to eat the whole thing. I had the steamed clams. The presentation was totally unexpected. It had a pizza dough topper that was puffed up with the clams, linguica & broth nice and steamy underneath. It was an amazing preparation and the dough helped tame some of the spiciness from the linguica. We all said we would come back. I would give this restaurant a solid 4.5 stars as the refill of our water was a big sluggish. Since you cannot rate in 1/2 star increments, I gave it a 5.

It ended up being a great find! The restaurant is spacious with huge windows overlooking the water, which I absolutely loved. It was much too hot to sit outside, so we enjoyed the view from an inside table. We decided to split the steamed clams (without the sausage) and a lobster bisque for lunch. Our server, Sydney, was friendly, helpful, and made sure we had everything we needed. The clams were served inside a bread-like pastry. My husband especially enjoyed that part, while I skipped the bread and dug right into the clams--they were fresh and delicious. The lobster bisque was rich, flavorful, and just as good. One unexpected bit of entertainment came from the couple seated next to us. It sounded like they were on a first date, and while I certainly wasn't trying to eavesdrop, they were talking so loudly it was impossible not to overhear! They seemed to be having a wonderful time, and it added a lighthearted touch to our lunch. Hope springs eternal! Overall, I was very happy with both our meal and the beautiful waterfront setting. I'd definitely stop here again the next time we're passing through Stuart. The only thing that gave me pause was the dinner menu, which looked a bit pricey, but for lunch this was a very enjoyable stop. You don't need a reservation for lunch so that was a plus. Sometimes you just want to go with the flow, and that is just what we did!

The two of us could not finish it and also had the seared Ahi tuna- the law that comes with the tuna is a showstopper.

Now, I must admit that I have ridden past this restaurant many times on my e-bike rides but never thought about trying a Greek restaurant for breakfast. So, this week, I finally gave in and trudged off to give the place a try. The Ambiance: Cute European style restaurant that has a cozy yet chic setting. Bar seating, inside table seating and outside patio seating are all offered. I might mention that my outside table felt sticky. Not sure if this is the type of table or a table that needed to be cleaned. Either way it was an uncomfortable experience. Couldn't slide my dishes and my arm sleeve felt like it was sticking to the table. The Service: Although my server forgot the honey I requested for my tea and instead of inputting the WiFi password in my iPad, as requested, briskly told me the WiFi password (she thought), which it wasn't, the service, other than that, was efficient and provided with a smile. (NOTE: Another server was more than happy to input the password for me without a hesitation). I might also mention that my server served my unusual tea request (which so many servers get wrong) absolutely on the money without hesitation. This may not sound like a big deal but, for me, it most assuredly is. The Food: I ordered the Big Breakfast which consisted of two eggs (I chose over easy), two sausage links, two strips of bacon, I chose a biscuit as my bread offering and those "must have grits. Along with this dish I of course ordered my, always a challenge to get, English Breakfast tea with honey and "steamed" milk. Although as mentioned above, other than the honey, my server did bring my tea WITH steamed milk! Good start! Within a few minutes, my dish arrived. Everything was just as ordered. The over easy eggs were cooked exactly as ordered and the biscuits came WITH extra butter. Unfortunately, the sausage was your little "standard" link sausage, the bacon was on the crisp side and the biscuit was good but a bit gummy. Now on to the big question,, how was those grits. I have to say, all my friends were right. Those grits were by far, the best grits I've ever had. Creamy, but not runny, needing only a dash of salt, they were so good, I took two orders of grits to go. The Bottom Line: My "Customer so what" would I come back? Although the rest of the meal was simply OK, for the grits alone, you bet I'd return.
