    What an amazing way to enjoy the beach without worrying about food! The Seaside Café has you covered with breakfast, lunch, and possibly even dinner. We decided to give it a try for lunch, and we're so glad we did! The food was delicious -- we had the fish tacos, chicken tenders, mozzarella sticks, and a foot-long hot dog. Everything hit the spot. It's such an easy and convenient way to enjoy the beach without the hassle of packing meals. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area!

    What a cool lunch place with an amazing view! My mom and I went to lunch here a couple of weeks ago, and we'll definitely be back for more. This is a hugely constructed Tiki hut right on the beach. Parking is easy breezy with a huge paved lot right in front. It's handicap accessible, is dog friendly, and is completely covered but all outdoors. There are many tables to choose from and also bar seating. There is no table service - you must order any food/drinks via the kitchen window. When your order is ready, you're called up to the pick-up window for retrieval. The kitchen works fairly quickly- when we arrived we were surprised to see the line was LONG! Maybe my mom and I were having fun chatting with each other and enjoying the beautiful view of the beach, but it seemed to move quickly! We ordered a shrimp po'boy and this came with a side of our choice (fries!). Po'boy was well executed, remoulade sauce was on-point, and the veggies on it were fresh! I'd order this again for sure! We also had grilled Mahi tacos. These were grilled perfectly, and the taco toppings were fresh and matched well... they don't come with a side just FYI. We also had some cold Sailfish Brewing IPAs we enjoyed while our food was being prepared. In addition to lunch, they also serve breakfast starting pretty early in the morning. They also provide an optional beach chair, umbrella, and clamshell rental program that's pretty reasonably priced in case you'd like to rent for your beach day!

    Beautiful spot right next to the beach! Food was reasonably priced, hearty and delicious! Ample seating overlooking the skies and beach. Great spot for a quick breakfast or lunch before walking the beach or laying out!

    I love this cafe, I grew up here and come for breakfast absolutely every time I visit my parents. The sunrise platter is consistent and the bacon is always crispy. The little OJs are so cute. The past few times I have come, however, this squirrel has become a menace to society, and my arch nemesis. I think maybe a "Do Not Feed the Squirrels" sign could be beneficial, as I saw multiple people feed him (which is so crazy, because if you've ever been to a cafe or park in FL you'd KNOW not to feed him)! He's now jumped on my table and taken food off my plate. Of course this won't keep me from visiting because peoples feeding behavior is not the fault of the cafe, but just beware of this squirrel if you see him approaching. Otherwise, would definitely recommend visiting our lovely little Stuart Beach cafe and just not sitting off to the left wing, as that's where he seems to be most aggressive. Lol

    When I was visiting my parents in Stuart my mom suggested we check out the seaside cafe, and it glad she did, it's a beautiful location! Self serve, I got delicious breakfast tacos that were savory and delicious, and we both got mimosas! The view is beautiful, and you can walk on the beach after! They also offer chair rentals! Check them out if you are in the area!

    First time, great place..beach right there, nice cold beer, yummy menu. I had the blackened fish tacos which were very tasty not salty or over blackened m as most other places. The shrimp po-boy was really sexy looking. Order at the window, they're nicely efficient, nice patio. Great place!

    My husband and I have been coming to Hutchinson Island since 2017 and how we didn't hear about this place is beyond me!!!! If you are in the area of Jensen do your self a favor and stop by and check it out!!!! We have been here every morning! Super relaxing and delicious!

    What an amazing location. Watching the beach while noshing on some yummy breakfast was near perfect. The staff was super friendly and ordering was easy. I had some shrimp n grits which is kind of a favorite for me. Two eggs over easy to complete the meal. Food was solid albeit not a traditional take on it. I'll be back

    Consistently excellent! Had the day off for my birthday so…read moreI met an old friend for lunch and everything was perfect. Greeted as soon as we walked through the door and had our choice of seating. Upon receiving our menus, our server told us about the specials of the day and other specials throughout the week. I love Spanish food and had to eat a bunch to satisfy my cravings. The service was fast and friendly and the food was delicious. The portions were generous, the sausages had great flavor and texture and the bread.... My favorite! Definitely worth checking out whether for lunch or dinner, the food is consistent and the service is next level.

    I'm always searching for a good Tapas restaurant and so it was time to try out Tapas Terra…read more The Atmosphere: I'll look over the fact that the air conditioning was not working the night we ate there and assume that it would be when you visit. The restaurant has a pleasant looking interior with tables and an interesting counter when you first walk in showing all the desserts which looked fabulous. The Service: Our server was excellent with Service with a smile and plenty of attention without being overbearing. She made sure everything we asked for came exactly as we asked although for whatever reason she kept giving all my dishes to my guest on the right (not sure if it was something I said or did but kind of funny we all had a good laugh about it). The Food: Here's where Tapas Terra was somewhat lacking. I ordered Spanish (spinach filled) croquettes and beef and chicken empanadas. Unfortunately, neither were great. They weren't bad but just not great. The Spanish (spinach filled) croquettes were ok but needed some type of dip. The beef and chicken empanadas were also ok. The filling was a bit spicy but won't drive away those who don't like spicy food. The crust was a bit dry on both. Because of the lack of a/c, we didn't try the desserts. In all fairness, some of the other dishes looked great and I didn't try the Paella Marinera, which is a must try at any tapas restaurant. The Bottom Line: As with all my reviews the bottom line or "Customer so what" would I come back? The answer is... because I didn't try the paella, and some of the other dishes, probably yes I'd be happy to give this place a second try (as long as the AC is working).

Not good. FLAVOR was was salty! Like a salt lick. SHE CRAB SOUP (From the site: SHE CRAB SOUP A rich, creamy soup made with lump crabmeat, a savory seafood broth, and a touch of warming spices, finished with a splash of sherry and served with a fresh-baked dinner roll.) REVIEW: It was a cup of seafood cream soup made of cream over salted and no lump crabmeat, no fresh bread either. No depth couldn't taste the sherry. I think the base was rushed and not layered at all. LUXE SEAFOOD POT PIE Buttery puff pastry filled with a rich medley of shrimp, lobster, scallops, and lump crab, complemented by a silky, well-seasoned seafood sauce with aromatic vegetables. REVIEW: This was awful! It was a bunch of frozen veggie blend cream of celery soup and seafood with a pastry popped on the top. No love into the meal at all. It had a great deal of seafood but all the other ingredients were really just thrown in. (Taste like when you rush to put food on the table because you have too much to do and have to just feed the fam). Last PINA COLADA BREAD PUDDING. Toasted Coconut | Spice Rum Glaze |In House Made Coconut & Pineapple Ice Cream Over cooked and slightly burnt. To be honest I threw it out. Actually I ended up throwing most of it out.

You can seat yourself anywhere for lunch under the big grass roof or under some accompanying umbrella tables. Servers came by quickly and were attentive to order details. Drink wise I got a classic Arnold Palmer for one visit, and a Virgin pina colada for the other. Both were good! I like my Arny P less sweet, and I love my pina coladas with a good amount of pineapple. For lunch the first time I got the Philly with the pineapple slaw, which is really something different compared to wherever else you can get a Philly. There wasn't a lot of slaw on my sandwich but it was just enough to brighten up the sandwich. The second time I got the chicken Philly, which has your classic fixings just with chicken instead. Fries on the side both times are delicious! Nice and crispy on the outside but fluffy on the inside. One standout memory I have is that my mom wanted a loaded fries that was more vegetable than meat which isn't on the menu. However, they were able to accommodate this and delivered very well to her liking! I remember when Philly Down South was just the food truck and a couple of umbrella tables. My mom says that every time she visits Philly Down South, it seems to get a little larger. I love the current grass hut ambiance that even features a stage for some live music! In my opinion, they should be the prime dining option at Stuart beach. Bathrooms for Philly Down South are really the Elliot Museum's, so make sure to bring proper coverups and footwear if you're coming from the beach. Can't wait to come again when I next visit Stuart!

I just wasn't having it - the owner said he would look into it but also when I place to go orders I make the tip an exact even amount - whatever total they put into the system they added a $10+ tip... that was falsely put into the system by whoever put the ticket in. That is theft. I truly hope he got down to the bottom of this I have worked in the restaurant industry and met people who do add extra tip- since (from what I was told by othermost people don't notice and it's not a big amount- thus why I always make to an even amount on the check. There is some shady people out there unfortunately..
