It was still juicy and flavorful even though it was like a thin layer of lobster - I highly recommend! The fries were perfectly cooked as well. The grouper tacos were extremely fresh and tasty. This was a great vibe and even better eats! Recommend to anyone in the area looking for a nice quick bite to eat!

Granted Everglades City is not a town to pass through or visit on an overnight vacation for us since it doesn't have much to offer other than the best places for Stone Crab. We drive an hour from our home just for lunch out at one of the few places well worth visiting but my hubby ALWAYS stops at Grimm's on the way out of town with his cooler in hand. Grimm's has their own crab boat fleet and they catch and cook their Stone Crab claws at the docks and the inside of the building has a retail counter. The prices are ALWAYS very fair and we also like their mustard sauce for dipping and even though I don't eat it, my husband likes their Fish Dip (which is a bit spicy). Best of all, they are super friendly and family run. And a bit of advice if you stop in for Stone Crab Claws... pay the $1 dollar per pound to have them pre-crack them for you. Well worth it.

A Hidden Gem in Downtown Naples -- Don't Sleep on This Place!…read more I stopped in on a Saturday afternoon and the place was buzzing -- the outside patio was at full capacity. I asked for a seat at the bar, and even though space is very limited, the staff went above and beyond to find me one. That kind of effort on a packed afternoon says a lot about this team. The bartender was phenomenal -- attentive, warm, and somehow managed to make every single person at that busy bar feel like they were the only guest in the restaurant. The whole staff carried that same energy. They were also wonderfully descriptive about the daily specials and menu offerings, which made ordering a pleasure rather than a guessing game. I decided to try the crab cake, and I'm so glad I did. I grew up on the East Coast eating crab, and I've had my fair share -- I've long held that Phillips in Maryland made the gold standard. I am happy to report that Captain & Crew has dethroned them in my book. This crab cake was pure lump crab meat, not overpowered by fillers or seasoning. You could actually taste the crab. The accompaniments they served alongside it elevated the whole dish even further. Thoroughly impressed. The wine pairings were equally well-curated. I took the staff's recommendations and they absolutely nailed it. A heads-up for first-timers: parking is the one small challenge. There's no convenient lot right there, so you may need to use a parking garage and walk over. Honestly? Embrace it. If you're already in Downtown Naples, it's a beautiful stroll that perfectly sets the mood before you arrive. Captain & Crew is a true hidden gem. Many people come for the fresh seafood market, but don't overlook the restaurant side -- it's absolutely worth your time. Highly recommend.

We had a wonderful experience at this establishment. The setting was simple, the service was…read moreexcellent, and the food even better. After sitting down, we started reviewing the menu and saw so many interesting items that it was difficult to choose. Fortunately, our server noticed we were struggling and she offered to help navigate us through our meal. Our goal was to sample a variety of options, but not to over order. And we accomplished just that! We started with some Stone Crabs, then some Peel & Eat Shrimp, then my wife and I shared an entree of Blackened Grouper with sides of fries and coleslaw, where we also added a few scallops. Delicious! We thought we were done, but our server informed us of the excellent Key Lime pie. We had room to share one slice, and we are so happy we did! It was excellent. A great balance of tartness and sweetness. We look forward to returning!

From the moment she greeted us, there was an ease to her kindness that felt genuine, unforced, and rare. The kind of warmth that doesn't hover, doesn't rush, doesn't perform--just shows up. She anticipated needs before they became questions, checked in without interrupting the rhythm of the table, and carried herself with a calm confidence that instantly made us feel welcome. What stood out most was how closely her kindness mirrored the kind I try to put into the world myself--attentive, respectful, human. Not transactional. Not scripted. Just real. She listened, she laughed with us (not at us), and she made the whole meal feel less like "service" and more like being taken care of by someone who actually enjoys caring. Food can be great anywhere. Service like Heather's? That's memorable. If you're lucky enough to have her section, you're in excellent hands. She elevates the entire place simply by being who she is. Management--please know you have something special here. Five stars doesn't quite cover it, but it'll have to do.

I'd heard about Stan's Idle Hour for several years so I was excited to finally check it out while…read morevisiting the area recently. It's a mostly outdoor beach bar, with live music, drinks, food, and their famous "Sunday Funday." Nate and I were there on a weekday afternoon, so the vibe was more chill than I assume it gets on Sundays. We found a picnic table with an umbrella and a server came over right away. It was "idle hour" (happy hour), so we got some discounted drinks and a snack, some peel and eat shrimp. I wanted a pina colada, and it came with a rum floater. The pina colada itself didn't seem like it was very strong, but it had good flavor and wasn't overly sweet. I also got a margarita from the happy hour menu, which was pretty strong and sweet. The shrimp were served cold with cocktail sauce. They were cooked nicely and not rubbery, but didn't have a ton of flavor. I'd definitely order other food from the menu, but we were heading to dinner soon after so I didn't want to fill up. The live music that was happening while we were there was pretty silly and kind of raunchy, but entertaining. I'm glad we got to experience this popular spot at an off-peak time.

The highlight for me was seeing Pickleball Michelle for 3 of these 8 Sundays! Lots of familiars from around town you will see and in general the people were very cordial and receptive towards me! They like to play an elongated rendition and version of the Star Spangle Banner as id like to remind everyone it is your right to sit, stand, or even skip it while it is being played! I welcome and enjoy the political messaging. I didnt eat any of the food but it looked good to me! Gotta hand it to the staff servicing in conditions such as extreme heat, rainy weather, busy crowds, and slow ones, they definitely will deserve their much-needed break! You can see why the band Rock Republic is popular with their lead singer and i also liked the lady vocalist in the other band. the day is coming when this hut of a restaurant comes down and possibly while when im underneath sitting in a go to spot of mine on a bench next to a fan.

It is a casual seafood restaurant located on the Barron River which connects to the Gulf. There are a few parking spaces in front otherwise it's free street parking where you can find it. There is a school across the street so parking can fill quickly. Most of the seating area is outside so you enter and then find an empty table. Menus are on the table and then a server arrives and takes your order. If the weather is right sitting next to the water is a nice calming experience. I sat in a screen enclosed covered patio. My order was for the fried grouper sandwich with french fries and cole slaw for $27. Yes grouper is expensive. The meal arrived about 10 minutes later. The fried fish fillet sitting in on the long bun was HUGE and it looked delicious too. I was very happy and then I started to eat it. Everything with that sandwich was excellent except its taste. It was the batter for me. The taste wasn't bad at all but it didn't stand out to me. Whatever batter they use to fry with is not my favorite and that is the only reason I don't give a 4 score here. The french fries were excellent in taste and showed me that Triad's puts effort in making them. Also the slaw was cool and a nice palate cleanser. The table service was friendly and attentive. I like Triad's and would be happy to return. But I would probably try something else on the menu that isn't fried. The batter taste is my opinion and I'm sure others will disagree. Another fact about eating here is that they charge 3.5% more for credit cards use. With an iced tea, tax and tip, my lunch cost $40...kind of expensive for Everglades City, FL.
