We had the choice of sitting outside, inside or at the bar! It was quite busy when we arrived so it was a little bit of a wait to get served. However, Our server was very sweet and attentive towards our party. Gave us some great recommendations. We started off with clam chowder, gumbo, and ceviche and it came out pretty quickly. Everything was made in house and absolutely delicious! The gumbo was my favorite. After the appetizers came through we ordered our main dishes and got fried shrimp, and fish tacos! It took some time for it to come out but once it did it was super exciting to get it. Everything was delicious, and for the shrimp you had a choice of small and large. I ordered small while my boyfriend ordered a large. We had tons and tons of food and it was so so good! We finished off with some delicious key lime pie and it was well worth the waiter bringing it out to us! My favorite definitely was the key lime pie and finishing up with that as well!

Annmarie was our wonderful server and even brought me an in-house made sauce for my salmon burger. It paired well with my salmon sandwich she recommended. My personal bartender was Tanya. I hope so spelled that correctly. I suppose the other likely option would have an "o". Anyhow, all in all, a wonderful overall dining experience. Definitely returning the next time we're in town.

When we arrived, we were seated pretty quickly despite it being a little busy. Our server was Mel and she was great. To start, she made me a watermelon margarita which was nice and my bf ordered a mango mojito. Then, for our appetizer, we ordered traditional raw oysters. For our entree, I ordered the PEI mussels and my bf ordered garlic parm oysters and rock oysters. Both meals were amazing. Mel was very attentive and I would like to have her as my server whenever I visit again. We wanted to order dessert but we were stuffed with everything we had. However, we will be back. Also, they have a ferry that brings you here too if you live in Sarasota.

They have inside and outside seating here. Service is great and friendly. You order with them at the front and they bring your food to you. Definitely a must stop. Taco salads are really good here and only around $10-11. Burritos are up to $20 each. I'm happy with the tacos bc I don't want to feel full at the beach.

They have a few picnic tables out front and more seating inside. We got a parking spot no problem and went inside. It is an order at the counter place with a dark wood feel. This is not your typical BBQ place, their website describes their restaurant as fast casual + BBQ fusion. Many traditional BBQ items such as ribs and baked beans are not on the menu, yet they offer other items like a Cuban sandwich. I went BBQish and ordered their Double Brisket Burger, and Canadian with a large order of Poutine. I recommend checking out the menu before you go the first time just to make sure you see something you want. My brisket burger was very tender and easy to eat. I liked it even though the caramelized onion added a burnt taste. It was a lot of food. The flavor of the poutine was subtle, and was a lot of fries. High marks on their Cuban sandwich from my dinner companion. I liked the place, liked the people, liked the other customers who we chatted with. We are local but seldom make it out to the beach so nice vacation vibes rubbed off on us as well. We left full and happy.

We waited 2 1/2 hours just to be seated, only to have our waitress rarely check on us once we were at the table. After ordering, we spent more than 2 hours waiting for our food and eventually our check. Several members of our family never even received a single beverage refill during our entire meal. The quality of the food was good, but it wasn't enough to make up for the poor service and excessive wait times. We left feeling frustrated and disappointed with the overall experience.

They thoughtfully provided him with a smaller fork that was easier for him to use, which truly meant a lot to our family.
