It's super convenient if you're staying at the Margaritaville resort--we were able to eat there…read moretwice during our stay. For breakfast, two of us went with the buffet (which turned out to be the right choice). The other two ordered from the menu, and it took forever. The avocado toast was just okay--lots of toppings, but surprisingly little flavor. Definitely go for the breakfast buffet. At dinner we tried the fish tacos and nacho appetizer. Both were solid and tasty. The service was surprisingly slow even though the restaurant was nearly empty. On the plus side, the decor and overall vibe are great--very laid-back and beachy, just what you'd expect from Margaritaville.

Upon entering, there was teamwork to get us to a table quickly for a late Sunday lunch. We didn't…read morequite even make it to the hostess stand. I thought that was nice even though they weren't busy. Until the end. Then I realized why.... The decor was beachy, adorable and fresh. They did have a nice "loaded" Land shark beer, it had a shot of their lime tequila in it. The food was literally, just ok. Burger and shrimp po boy. Fries are $3 extra to add on, they were also ok. We gave our server our card without looking at the itemized bill. I went to the restroom and walked by the hostess stand on the way back and saw a sign that said they add 20% gratuity to all bills. I checked our credit card receipts and the itemized bill had been removed. I asked the server if gratuity had already been added. He very hesitantly said yes. We then changed our signed receipt. So, just be aware. The service was decent, but not 50% tip worthy. It felt clear why they didn't have us go by hostess stand.

It's so sad that there is still racist people that live on this earth. This place has the most racists people here. If your black, Mexican or mixed this is not the place for you! When you come in they make you feel like an outcast. I heard someone tonight say when my family came in, damn these mf again. Like when will it stop .. I went and spent my money at this place 9 times and I got treated like I'm just some black girl from the hood. I will never, ever, ever recommended this place to no one. And I will never go back after the experience tonight. The called the police cause it was too many black people trying to have a good time at the bar. I'm so mad and pissed after what I seen tonight. If your white, you will be treated right if your black, you don't never want to come back.. read more
