This was my first visit and it's exactly the kind of place you want when you're craving no-frills,…read morefresh seafood. It's a cute little roadside shack that feels like it used to be someone's house. We went on a Friday night in March, there was a line, but we were seated right away on the outdoor sun deck. Super laid back, a little quirky, and the perfect setting to sit outside and get messy with seafood. Service was great. The staff works as a team and you can tell, everything moved quickly and everyone was helpful. Our main server was especially friendly and made great recommendations. The food is definitely meant for sharing. We split a dozen medium blue crabs, two dozen clams, gumbo, and a stone crab and shrimp special. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and reasonably priced for the quality. Nothing felt overpriced. Do not skip the key lime pie. It was the perfect ending. Overall, it's simple, casual, and really well done. I'd absolutely go back.

It's a cute small family owned and quaint place if you're in the mood for fresh seafood. (Most places in Charlotte County have frozen seafood and not fresh-always ask!!!) We were able to get a seat immediately and the wait staff was on top of everything and so friendly. My wife ordered the ceviche which was real good. Only thing to make it a little better would be to add some white fish to the recipe like most places do, but otherwise it was delicious. I had the fresh grill red snapper which was very good as well. Their sheaphead fish soup sample was very tasty, I will order that on next visit. Their coleslaw and corn was made to perfection. My wife is an excellent chef and for us to actually find a local place that was this good, was a wonderful experience. We will be back!

Ok this place is a total dive. It was recommended to me by a local bartender who seems to know her…read morestuff. I came here after a round of golf. Everyone loved my golf hat- "play bad fast". I looked at the outdoor bar but every single seat was taken. All the outdoor tables were booked. So I went inside and saw the inside bar was also full. A table for ten and a table for 6 had departed and needed to be bussed, but both were too much for just one person. So I checked in w the hostess and she asked - booth or table. I wanted table. I got a nice table by the river! Lovely views. Exactly what I wanted. Menus were dropped and soon, Sam was checking in on me. I was so hungry, I had looked at the menu and pics on my way there. I went for the crab cake appetizer and the Gold Wave cocktail. For my entree, I was torn between the Grouper Reuben and the Sea Dog (fried grouper on a long roll, topped with all sorts of goodness). Sam said grouper Reuben was his choice. He asked if I wanted grilled, blackened or fried. I told him to surprise me. For my side, I had the choice of (more) coleslaw (it has coleslaw instead of sauerkraut), fries, sweet potato fries, or a side house or Cesar salad for $4 more. I went w the house salad and their standard citrus vinaigrette. Salad and crab cake came out first. Salad was a huge portion- romaine (some pieces needed better washing), red onion galore, halved cherry tomatoes and cucumber slices. It was great, but needed croutons. The crab cake was the perfect size for one person. It had a whole grain mustard remoulade sauce. Yum! It had some filler but also had a lot of crab. I enjoyed it. The grouper Rueben came out hot!!!! Served with a side of coleslaw and a pickle. I added some needed salt. Boy that fish filet was huge. Sam had put it in grilled for me. Healthy. Nice. I ate half and then I was stuffed. I filled up on the salad and crabcake apparently. I enjoyed the views of boaters going by. It started to rain hard and the folks outside just stayed there. The overhang must've been protecting them well. My server, Sam, was around often to answer my questions. Apparently the grouper Reuben market price is only $21. And if you want redfish or mahi, the price is the same- $21! That's crazy. What a deal. The gold wave is made with Elijah Craig; Good ol Kentucky bourbon. And for dessert, they have cheesecake, peanut butter pie, mud pie, key lime pie, coconut sorbet and orange cake (which he says is a local favorite). I was too stuffed to buy but happy to hear the list. Overall I had a wonderful meal and service was really good. I would recommend adding croutons to the salad, and cleaning up the bathrooms regularly. This place ain't fancy. It's a dirt parking lot. The tables are naked. Folks come casual. However, the prices are great and the food does the talking. Come check them out.

This visit was two years since the last. We were seated…read moreright away and our drink order taken within minutes. We ordered an Arnold Palmer and a Ponce De Leon margarita, mozzarella sticks, shrimp basket, chicken fingers basket and (2) Florida orange cakes to go. Mozzarella sticks- average. Shrimp basket- good but tropical slaw was store bought with pineapple added. Chicken fingers- good not great, onion rings, good not great . Margarita- strong. Biggest problem- from 9-18 people just standing around talking, making staff walk around them. Other problems- some people just walk in past the front desk and just seat themselves ( the privileged). Total bill with tip $100 . Don't need to travel a half hour to just be ok. Won't be back.

My husband ordered the "Beef on weck" (not sure on the spelling), and he really enjoyed it--added a little horseradish and called it a win. It did get a bit sunny, but they brought out bar awning to keep things comfortable, which was a nice touch. Overall, a great spot--sorry locals, your hidden gem might not stay hidden for long!

I thought yo go w Philly cheesesteak first, but then I saw their Prime rib sandwich special $16 and got excited. The food came out quick ..the sandwich was to die for, plenty of juicy tender prime rib , sautéed onions and perfect amount of provolone, it was so juice that it didn't even really need the sauces it came with (creamy horseradish and consommé!) , for the side it was Dutch style potato salad ( omg sooo delish), a bottle of Grolsch was a perfect pair for this scrumptious meal. The service was friendly and attentive, and I was lucky to meet and chat with the owner Sharon who stopped by the table couple of times. Thank you for sharing your great story about immigrating to USA and starting your amazing business here. The meal was large so I took half home for dinner : )) I couldn't pass on their cherry vanilla ice cream in a chocolate cone-oh my !! What a pure cherrylicious delight!!

Let me paint you a picture: the best part of a BBQ joint should never be the sauce but without it, I would've needed a search party to find any moisture in this meal. The burnt ends? Dry. The brisket ? Somehow drier. I'm starting to think Jay has a personal vendetta against moisture. I've had jerky with more tenderness. The wings weren't drowning in sauce because they were flavorful they were drowning because it was the only thing keeping them from turning to dust. Now here's where it gets truly unhinged: this place has been open since 2021 and sits at above 4 stars on Yelp. I don't know what's more shocking that, or Jay naming the this place after himself. Himself. That's the confidence of a man who has never eaten his own food. Save your money. Save your time. Honestly? Just fire up your backyard grill. You've got a strong shot at outdoing this place, and the worst case scenario is you learn something. Jay apparently didn't.

Ryan's Sub and Sports Bar Review…read more Visit: On a Saturday afternoon, our group of seven decided to stop by Ryan's Sub and Sports Bar for a casual meal. We were seated in the front patio area, where Nicole, the only waitress on duty, promptly greeted us and took our drink and food orders. Service: Nicole provided attentive and efficient service, despite being the only staff member working on the patio. She managed our group's needs well, ensuring that our drinks and food orders were handled quickly and accurately. Food: We started our meal with appetizers and then moved on to our main courses. The food was excellent, featuring generous portions that were more than enough for everyone. The subs were so large that we split them between two people. The Cowboy Burger was especially impressive, packed full and piled high with toppings. The BBQ Pork was also very good and flavorful. All our food arrived hot and tasted fresh. We enjoyed everything except the Coleslaw, which was just average. Summary: This is a great place to stop by for a quick bite to eat. We sat outside, but the restaurant also offers a very nice indoor seating area. One thing to remember is that people are allowed to smoke on the patio, so if that bothers you, you may prefer to sit inside. Overall, I would give this place 4 out of 5 stars. Gulf Coast Terry
