Ambience is lacking even though the view is very nice. Several tables were blocked off with caution tape due to apparent floor deterioration. There was plywood under those tables that seemed like it had been there for months. Our table was lopsided and wobbly. They seem to allow dogs which I do not love. Service and food were mediocre at best. Will not return! read more

Yummy food, great service & a fun view. The spicy con sandwich is super good, as is all the fish and the coconut shrimp! Good rum runners as well. A good beach side destination! Good cole slaw for u slaw connoisseurs read more

I have been coming here for the past 20 year and it's always a great time there. The view is beautiful, the vibe is very relaxing, the food is great and the service is usually very good. We usually get a table but this time we sat at the bar because we wanted a quick bite and a drink. Our bartender was not attentive at all, in fact, my husband wanted to order another drink and he never came by or even looked in our direction so we closed our tab and went somewhere else. But before that happened we did get the chance to order cheesy fries and chicken tender and that was good. Also, Raul, a bar aid went above and beyond to make sure our visit was special. Not sure if he noticed how inattentive our bartender was being that he brought us a piece of chocolate cake and that certainly made things sweet. Had Raul been our bartender we would have probably spent a lot more time and more money there. read more

Dumbest seating rules based on if you are having drinks,appetizers or a meal. Guess they don't need the buisness.

We checked this place for lunch very reasonable prices food is great a pretty quick nice cold beverage also white fish taco are very good

Food was good, the service was top notch and the location Is very cool. You can get there by boat or by car and enjoy a nice scenic meal on the Marina. read more

Very cute location, but the food was just okay. The conch fritters we're still raw and mushy in the middle, like the fryer was too hot. The fish was fresh, but not enough seasoning. The sweet potato fries smacked though. Nice breeze and right on the beach read more

It's your typical dive bar. We tried the "famous wings" and "fire cracker shrimp" and I wasn't impressed. I was hungry so ate the shrimp lol but I would not recommend this spot for food. Mike the bartender is great and made the experience much better! Overall, head here for a drink or two, sit outside with the ocean view but save your appetite for and go somewhere else for dinner! read more

It was nice to eat el fresco along the waterway. The staff was friendly and attentive. We had fried coconut shrimp for an appetizer which was very good. For meals, I had the Grouper with chef vegetables and my mom had the Fish and chips with fries and coleslaw. Entrees were okay. Nothing special. More like bar style food. Probably would go back for cocktails and appetizers but not dinner again. read more

Great atmosphere, wonderful ocean breeze, and excellent wait staff! We sat inside and had a great view of the beach. We both ordered chicken sandwiches which were a little bland. The fries were fried to perfection and tasty. They had plenty of parking and I would visit again:) read more

Reliable food near and on the beach. Stopped here so we didn't have to sit in traffic and just in time before the pouring rain came. We had pizzas, peel and eat shrimp, grouper bites and kids had pasta and cheese pizza. Food tasted good. Service was great--she was kind despite all of our grumpiness due to heat, tiredness and hunger. Thanks for your patience with us! read more

This is a fantastic fun place to go!!! It's very beachy!!! There is a great selection of food, such as hamburgers, seafood, pizza and cocktails!!! I love to visit Junkanoo every time I am visiting Fort Myers!!! There is plenty of space and seating there even though Junkanoo is quite busy!!! It is just such an upbeat fun place and I mean fun!!! I love the white pizza which I split with my daughter. My husband had a meatball sub which was very good. The portions are huge!!! It's the best place!!! You should try it!!! read more

I think that Rod Stewart was here I seen him sitting in a chair drinking a beer. Dogs are welcome this place is worth going to laid-back good atmosphere coming people walking their dogs on the beach nice breeze off the ocean golf of Mexico absolutely amazing place got to go got to go read more

Nice bar/restaurant with great views of the bay. Food is good quality with a nice selection. One suggestion, DO NOT go there near dusk, if you are like me and attract no-see-ums you will be attacked to the point you cannot enjoy your experience. I urge the management to do something about this issue, it will cost you some business if you don't. read more

Great and very popular beach restaurant for sunset dinner and drinks. The food was excellent. We all had different burger selections and they all came out perfect. Plan to arrive no later than 90 minutes before sunset if you want to get a good outside deck table for watching the sun go down. read more

Went here for lunch - highly recommend the grouper tacos!! Blackened is the way to go. Alba was our server and she was lovely. The manager also came by our table to check on us which was very nice. My fiance had the shrimp tacos and loved them as well. Lots of shrimp!! Looking forward to coming back! read more

What a great spot to watch the sunset !!! The food was really delicious and the restaurant has such a dive bar vibe. We absolutely had a great time here with all the games and views. It was a perfect ending to our trip read more

Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else. I am not local but I am a Floridian who is used to fresh seafood from the Gulf. They did not serve fresh seafood. Which I find kind of ironic since leaving the restaurant and traveling slightly further north you can see shrimp boats and fish markets at the marinas. The atmosphere. Yes it's on the beach. The drink menu looks like typical beach drinks and I'm sure they were probably good but I didn't have any. But everything is old and outdated and covered in dust and rust. Don't use the bathrooms. I'm not a snob but those should be condemned. I don't even want to see the kitchen. The menu online was similar to the menu I saw at the restaurant but the prices were more at the restaurant then they were online. At their own website. I get it. Everything is more expensive these days. My husband orders fire cracker or bang bang or whatever you wanna call it type shrimp at just about every restaurant we go to. So he did at Junkanoo and it was like 10 pieces of shrimp. Same price at Longhorn gives you like 30 shrimp. The menu said lightly battered but they cannot possibly be battered in house because I could not take the layer off to eat the shrimp alone. Can do that easily most places. He ordered shrimp and scallop wrap and almost broke a tooth on something that resembled a piece of batter that has sat in the grease until it was black and burnt. Gross. It was obviously not fresh shrimp. He didn't eat the fries it came with saying they were way to greasy. This man is my all gone machine. Literally Mikey. Will eat anything and usually clears all our plates. Nope. Not today. Left a whole basket of fries. I ordered grouper sandwich minus the bun and fixings and gave hubby my potato salad side. He ate the whole side and said it was good. My Grouper was not fresh Gulf grouper. Disappointed for a $50 lunch. 2 stars. Our waitress was super friendly and took good care of us. We didn't complain to her but she was on top of our drinks being filled. It's on the beach and the local iguanas joined us for lunch. read more

Best Coconut Fried Shrimp around! Their Fries Pair well too. Great customer service.

Absolutely amazing food. Best all round and consistently great food everytime we go there. Our server was Enrique Ramon was on top of things and one of the greatest personalities you will find anywhere. Great place for friends and family. read more

The worst service I ever experienced in my life. Sat there for 10 minutes nobody ever approached me to say we were busy and would be back later or would you like a glass of water while you're waiting read more

Sat at the bar, very busy and watched Josh handle it all with ease! His recommendations for apps were right on!! The grouper bites were amazing as were the cheesy fries!! Josh kept it all in check! read more

Wanted to take my out-of-state guest to a beach-front dining to experience the beauty of our beaches and beautiful Gulf views. Decided to come to Junkanoo. Beautiful view. Open-air restaurant but pleasant breezes so it did not feel hot although it was mid-July. For an appetizer, I had 1/4 lb. of steamed shrimp. It was served with a side of clarified butter for dipping as well as cocktail sauce. They were good, seasoned with Old Bay - Just the way I like them. For dinner I had the taco salad. It was ok, but nothing to write home about. Too much lettuce and not enough cheese, tomatoes, black olives, etc. Old beach-front vibe. Pool table, video game, corn-hole out on the beach. If you're going for the beach and water view, I highly recommend. read more

Place looked awful, like they just ride through hurricanes then open up the day after. Half assed supports holding up the ceiling and rotting siding with plywood windows. Just very run down and smelled funky smelling I was seriously worried to get my food, but I was surprised. The food was decent like most other restaurant around, nothing stood out. Our service was very good we got our food very quickly and got our drinks refilled often. I'd leave a better review if it weren't for the awful condition of the building. It looked bad inside and out. The bar looked busy but I didn't order anything from it but from how it looked i would assume it's not bad. If you're looking for a nice place to eat go elsewhere, but if you're on the beach and want some basic food and drinks it's great for that. It wasn't very cheap either unfortunately. read more

Cool place, the beach access Is awesome! The only negative is all the smoking, it really gross. Especially inside. Conch fritters - 5.0 Peel and eat shrimp- 4.5 (needs more old bay) Price - 5.0 Service - 3.5 read more

First time eating here, and it was FANTASTIC! We had a boat and could easily dock. The food was excellent. They have a formal and informal dining area. There were bean bags to play while you wait, along with seating by the marina. We also bought cute shirts with a great logo on the back. We will definitely be back here again!! read more

Hello and thanks for checking out my review. Food is my favorite hobby, I do not cook at all, so I'm constantly on the hunt for something amazing to eat and writing about it is my second favorite hobby.... I hope it helps you as you find your next meal. Enjoy and good eating!! I always rate a place by 5 categories ranging from 1 - 5 stars and why. (Atmosphere, Service, Food, Price & Overall Experience). Atmosphere: 5 I give this 5 because, it's still on the beach however it's further down on the south side of the island which takes it away from all the main stream loud and obnoxious. It has seating inside and out and the whole back is open with great views of the ocean. Service: 5 The service is fast and very friendly and do not tolerate mis behavior. Not that they have a lot of it but I've been there a few times and once I saw a broody group that had a little too many daiquiris and were kindly but assertively told to get it together or they would have to leave. You can eat at the bar or dining, they take your orders quickly and check in on you frequently to see how you and your meal are going (this is a big deal for me as I am usually the girl needing condiments) Food: 4 Now this is a minute of bar food and seafood and I've only had the bar food. Some appetizers are just silly good and other were your typically nothing special bar food. (The fried cauliflower, silly tasty with Asian dipping sauce, verse the pepperoni pizza nothing special and tasted like old memories of late night wasted college 2:00am pizza) Price: 4 The pice is over all pretty good but a little off on some items. Garlic knots that are so tasty and fluffy and drizzled with olive oil and cheese with spices, silly good and super cheap. The pizza again nothing great and almost $20.00 just seemed a little off so my guess is they price by what's popular.... ? Overall Experience: 4 It's a great place for lunch or catching a game on an afternoon, with great access to the water. read more

This is by far our favorite place to eat on Ft Myers Beach. We drive from Punta Gorda just to eat their fish tacos and BLT's which are our favorites. But their menu is full of delicious offerings and the service is always very friendly. The view of the inter coastal is top notch also. Rain or shine this will always be our first choice. read more

We have gone to this establishment a couple times over the last 2 weeks. What's not to love about a beach bar & grill. Watched the sunset one evening, hung out having cocktails the second visit. Nice that they have a parking lot. Friendly staff, generous cocktails, good appetizers. All around wonderful place. read more
