Great local seafood combined with great service. The only suggestion for management is to somehow eliminate the "hammer pounding" of the crabs from the kitchen during lunchtime hours. read more

Food is excellent. There is one cook in the back in which you can actually see unlike other restaurants which you can't see who is cooking your food or seeing what is being done to it. Small restaurant..maybe 10 tables but we didn't have to wait to be seated. Waiters are excellent. I'll say it again- food is excellent.. prices are comparable and reasonable. They have a good selection of beer and wine but only knock on the restaurant is they have NO sweet tea read more

Had dinner here this evening. Wish I had come here sooner because the meal was absolutely delicious. Had broiled yellowtail snapper stuffed with crab meat. Not sure which was better the fish or the crab meat. The service was exactly on point. This is a very small place with only a few tables so the atmosphere is very intimate and friendly. I without hesitation recommend this place. read more

King Neptune Restaurant - Broiled Yellowtail snapper stuffed with crab meat. Really delicious! - Seafood Near Me - Stuart, Florida

What a little hidden gem! We moved up from Deerfield a few years ago and there's a wonderful place there that is exactly the, unassumingly delicious seafood nestled in a small little restaurant. The staff were all working together to make sure everything is seamless. They have a kids menu but it's not printed so you have to ask. Everyone definitely left with happy bellies. U would highly recommend! read more

Excellent conch chowder; even better was my conch salad. Thrilled to be able to get this so close to where I live. Can't wait to get back and enjoy the other conch dinners. Thank you King Neptune!! read more

Came for lunch on a Wednesday a bit early and was lucky to get in. The restaurant opens at 11.30 am and there was a wait even before opening. By the time we left it was packed. Service is a bit slow but the waitress manages here tables well. The restaurant is small but perfect for what it is. I ordered the grouper sandwich with onion rings and it was very good. Fish to bread ratio was good, and also very fresh. Definitely recommend coming here. read more

This is by far the best seafood I've had in the last 5 years. The menu is diverse and location is quaint and charming. Not too many tables so you get incredible service from Kaitlynn and Dan. I am a huge fan of Conch Chowder, and this is better than anything I've even had in the Bahamas or Caribbean. The prices are more than reasonable and I'm planning on eating here now at least once a week. Don't even think about it, just get over there!!! read more

This was our favorite old florida restaurant- Things have changed- Portion size shrunk- service was good- and prices are up Luch for two was 130$- and we had Tacos and 2 drinks each They now have more people working here- So I guess why they raised prices- Loved the way it used to be- Now another over priced south florida restaurant that is way to crowded- read more

Had a wonderful lunch here. Less expensive than the waterfront restaurants but no less quality. I had fried oysters and they were plump and sweet and perfectly cooked. My wife had a platter with shrimp, fish and scallops and she cleaned her plate. I would definitely eat here again. I should also mention that the service was friendly and top notch. read more

Seafood bisque is the bomb! You must try it if you visit. My wife enjoyed her fried shrimp plate and I loved my fried grouper plate. Server was fast and friendly. The dining room is small, so come early to get a table or expect a wait. We will definitely be back when we are in the Stuart area again. read more

Crowded and getting more expensive but consistently good! Some menu prices (online) do not match what they're ringing up for -- Hmmmmm.

Small restaurant, with great food and thoughtful service, It looks like the locals eat here which is telling. We'll be back!

This is a staple fresh seafood place with very unique daily specials based on the catches from the local fishermen. Get there early because they are a small place with limited tables, definitely worth the wait! read more

King Neptune Restaurant - Pan seared Bahamian snapper with rice and plantains - Seafood Near Me - Stuart, Florida

This restaurant visit was perhaps the biggest surprise of our trip thus far. While enjoying the pool at our rental condo, we heard someone talking about King Neptune. I went right to Yelp and found a lot of reviews with great ratings. That is where we had our next meal. The restaurant itself is very unassuming-in fact we would have probably never stopped there if we hadn't heard the recommendation. Restaurant is quite small with just a few tables, high tops and counter seating. We arrived shortly after opening and was happy to get a table as within about five minutes, there was a wait. Lunch menu includes soups, salads and a wide variety of seafood dishes. I had blacken mahi and my wife ordered the fried grouper. Dishes came with coleslaw (which my wife declared was outstanding) and fries. I upgraded to Tabasco onion rings. Nice and spicy! What a perfect lunch we both had! We both thought the fish was as good as any we've had so far. Our luck with great service continued here as well. It is too late in our trip for another visit. King Neptune will definitely be on our list when we come back next year!F read more

This place is a little gem! This cute, quaint, and old Stuart institution is located right off Dixie/Salerno and it's small... they have fresh seafood that tastes consistently delicious. For appetizers, we love their cracked conch- it's tenderized properly and perfectly breaded and fried! They're open for both lunch and dinner and have daily specials for dinner and you can follow them on their social media to see the daily offerings. I really enjoy their pistachio crusted mahi, which is served with two sides. I usually get the plantains and their black beans. Black beans here are just a little extra special- is it all spice?! The peppers?! I cannot put my finger on it but the flavor is quite yummy! They also make Tabasco onion strings... spicy and addictive! They offer tons of options: scallops, peel n eats, sandwiches, platters, etc. you name it! The service is always efficient and sweet. The two young women working there are very nice! Some things to note: small space means possible wait times, they only serve beer and wine, and they do not accept AMEX! read more

Everything about my visit was wonderful! Eric and Shannon were so welcoming from the moment I walked in, which made my first experience here even more special. The food was absolutely amazing so flavorful and clearly made with care. I loved it so much that I had to come back with my husband, and now we're both hooked! This has quickly become one of our favorite spots, and we know we'll be coming often. And whatever you meal is, don't skip the key lime pie, it's the perfect finish to an already delicious meal. I'm so glad I finally discovered this place! read more

I was so looking forward, based on the reviews and was anticipating writing a positive review. I forgot to take pictures. I ordered the broiled platter with a side salad and fries. The side salad was the best part of the meal. Fresh, crispy vegetables and balsamic dressing was great. The Mahi had no flavor and was very dry. The shrimp was good. Scallops were ok. Fries were hard and dry. We did order the Key Lime Pie to share. It was average. They did say it was not made in house. The crust was good but the filling was kind of grainy, not smooth. Presentation was nice. The saving grace was the wait staff. They were friendly and prompt. Wait time was reasonable. It is a smaller seating area but they turn tables over at a reasonable time frame so people move through quickly. read more

Love this quaint spot in the pocket of Pt Salerno. Friendly staff and attentive service. The menu offers a wide variety of fresh seafood . We had the Seafood Lobster Bisque which was loaded with crab and shrimp. Super creamy and flavorful! Next we ordered a dozen steamed clams that were on special that day. Good sized clams served in a delicious broth with drawn butter. Entrees we shared the Caesar with blackened scallops and a fried seafood platter which included coconut shrimp, oysters and dolphin. Everything was fried to perfection and served with fries and slaw. The star of the show were the blackened scallops!! read more

If you're looking for really good seafood, King Neptune is the place to go! Get there early, as spots fill up quickly in the small restaurant.

When you start to feel like South Florida has become too crowded, especially during the weekend of the West Palm Beach boat show, then just head north. Hidden in the sweet Manatee pocket of Port Salerno, is this fabulous family run restaurant. Do yourself a favor and stop in! We started with the Buffalo shrimp, which I sadly forgot to take a photo of because they were fantastic and gobbled down in two seconds. Then moved to the seafood bisque, which was loaded with clams, shrimp, and flavor, and then finished with the Pistachio crusted mahi (cooked perfectly and well flavored) and the homemade Keylime pie. Immediately greeted upon our arrival, and told of a short wait, our smiling waitress took our drink order and allowed us to relax outside until the table was ready. Service with a smile these days is hard to find and I'll tell you she was a treat! (I do not know what these other reviewers are talking about but we had a wonderful experience from start to finish. Now we were there at 5:30 on a Saturday so maybe that helps.) Either way, do yourself a favor and visit this local, delicious little joint. You will be glad you did! read more

A real local fish place. Fairly small...about 8 wooden tables. Nothing fancy. Very clean and bright. It's been there for years and still they hold the prices to a reasonable amount. My friend and I went around 2:30 pm on a Friday in the off-season, so there was no wait. We split the grouper Reuben, fried combo with oysters, shrimp, and fish fingers, fries, and onion rings. The Reuben was outstanding! The fish was so fresh and there was enough cheese that it was crispy fried on one side of the rye bread. The fried combo was succulent. I was so pleased with this place that I have put it in my top 5 fish places in the area. BTW, the waitress couldn't have been nicer. read more

We started with the most delicious soup and fried conch. Perfection! My problem was either the sandwiches. The house special grouper and the pistachio crusted mahi had way more bread than fish! It was very expensive for the mostly bread sandwiches. read more

The food was good but it honestly took over an hour to get the food. I wish we knew it would take that long because we would have skipped it for the limited time we had. We assumed because there were only 10 other people in the restaurant, it couldn't take that long to make shrimp and grits. Over all the food was pretty tasty and seemed fresh. read more
