    Vodka soda and vodka Tonic. Pretty glassed with cute pig lime sticks
    Janda P.

    Stumbled across this gem while waiting for a shelling tour. 10/10 passes the vibe check. They had a raffle that was free to enter, friendly staff and patrons and great picked drinks. Thanks for helping non-locals feel welcome.

    Buffalo shrimp appetizer

    Took a drive to Goodland this past Sunday. It was a beautiful day and everyone must have had the same idea because parking was a nightmare. You ca also pull up in your boat. Had to pay $10 for parking. Arrived a little after 1 pm and went to the place that seemed have the least amount of wait time. We were greeted quickly and given a table outside by the water. We decided on appetizers and water as we wanted to walk to the other bars and have a beer. The staff were nice enough and the fish dip and buffalo shrimp were good but I thought the portions were kind of small. Would like to come back another weekend but arrive earlier to beat some of the crowd.

    First time at the Little Bar nut not Goodland, FL. Love the laid back vibe and fresh, daily caught, seafood. Stone crabs a must, and everyone had a great fish dish. Missed a pic of the wonderful peel and eat fresh shrimp. House made onion rings too! Service was great and prices fair. We will be back.

    Food, service & nice outdoor seating. So good & fun place for dinner. Susan did a great job especially with being super busy. Everyone's food was perfect & we got to see a nice sunset.

    Soft shelled crab (fried, but they also do sauteed)

    Servers are awesome, and the food is even better. It's the daily music we follow... and have for years! Yes, you can even arrive by boat. Indoor seating and outdoor tables along the water, too. This place is classic "old Florida." Not to be missed.

    Medium stone crab

    This place exceeded expectations. The key lime pie was one of the best I've ever had soft, fluffy, and incredibly creamy instead of the usual dense slice. The flavor was perfectly balanced. The peanut butter pie was just as good rich, creamy, and not overly sweet. The medium stone crab claws were incredibly fresh (they source them next door from Kirk's Fish Market), and the mustard sauce was great. The shrimp appetizer was cooked perfectly and honestly didn't even need the sauce. The grilled oysters were buttery and garlicky. Amazing service, indoor and outdoor seating. The space could use a little facelift, but the food more than makes up for it. We'll be back!

    On the water. Comfortable. Service is fast and with a smile. Menu is large enough. Food was very good. Grouper balls were unique and worthwhile. Stone crab was also excellent. Soup had plenty crab and a bit of heat. Would definitely come back and hang out.

    Food is generally good. I had my usual. Conch chowder, grouper balls and today liver and onions. We had good service from Susie. Nice ambiance sitting by the water. A little cool and breezy today but still nice.

    Little Bar Restaurant What I witnessed here today was blatant discrimination. A server assigned to the table next to ours refused to acknowledge or serve that family at all--no eye contact, no greeting, no explanation--while continuing to serve others around them. There was no issue with the family. The only difference was that the father and children were brown. Sending out a different server after the fact does not undo what happened. It avoids accountability. This was racism, expressed through silence and refusal, and it is unacceptable! I will not recommend this restaurant unless it addresses this behavior directly and publicly.

    Had the absolute best experience with Lora at little bar! The atmosphere and the food was fantastic!! Lora made our experience even better. She had our drinks out extremely quick and she was so great to converse with! Would definitely recommend her as a server and little bar! Beautiful scenery and experience!!!

    Tried this place on vacation in Marco Island. The restaurant itself and the surrounding neighborhood is quite charming with nice outdoor views, although it was too windy for us to sit outside. We started with the stone crab claws which were delicious and perfectly sweet. They came with a mustard sauce which tasty, but the crab is so good the sauce is unnecessary - we saved it for the fries. We also had some lobster bisque which was quite good as well. My daughter had the blackened scallops which were good - standard scallops. My wife had the soft shelled crab. My first time trying soft shell crab so I have no frame of reference here. Not my favorite, but it's a texture thing and has nothing to do with preparation! Our server and all of the staff was very friendly and nice. If you're in the area give this place a shot. It's off the beaten path and quite lovely.

    Always skeptical when they have balls on the menu. As per usual, the grouper's pair of balls tasted like dog food. I'm giving this four stars, because giving it the number I actually have in mind, 666, would have sounded good. The buffalo sauce must be straight out of hell. Burning my tongue and turned the rest of the meal into torture. I was suggested to dip the buffalo fingers in ranch to ease my emotions, but the discoloration in the ranch was very unpleasant. My dad was given the blackened fish tacos, although the cooks opted for the "invisible blacken seasoning ," said the waitress. And lastly, I ordered a Diet Coke, but instead I believe I was greeted with the waiter's chew spitter instead. Very distasteful. Overall, great experience! Would recommend.

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.

This is a huge place that gets extremely packed. Everyone is very friendly and here to have a good time.

Nutshell: if you are a person who enjoys quality good, not fancy, just properly executed, you will hate this place. Waiter says, "we are known for our onion rings, you have to have those." Well, I enjoy a quality onion ring, so let's do it. Absolutely a huge mistake. Calling them greasy is an understatement. There was also not a lick of seasoning on them. They tasted of bland grease. Also, any server suggesting a gigantic basket of onion rings to two normally sized people is a jerk. Even if the batter wasn't shattered off half of them, it would have been a waste. The burger suffered from the same fatal flaw. I cannot recall ever eating a burger with less flavor. Zero salt and pepper and swimming in so much grease, the bottom bun collapsed upon pick up. This isn't an exaggeration. Flavorless. The lobster roll at least had some lobster, but again, just mid. Salt and pepper escapes them. I cannot stress enough that you should not eat here. My meal was free with the Platinum Rest credit, and I'm still angry about it.
