Delicious topping & sauce. Highly recommend. They come 2 per order and they split them on plates for us since we just wanted a snack (only went in for a drink). The onion rings were also way above average, crunchy and delicious! Austin the bartender is really sweet and keeps the customers happy. Enjoyed sitting at the bar so he could serve us again. Don't recommend going on a holiday weekend though. What were we thinking? Well the beach had no parking and the streets were very busy. Glad we found a place to park at the pink elephant. We just wanted a little beach outing for vow-renewal "anniversary." Wink. Probably going again soon on our engagement anniversary!

I finally had to get up and go find our waitress inside at the end to get our check to leave. Would have loved to have a good experience. May try one more time.

If you're looking for that true Florida coastal vibe, South Beach Bar & Grille is one of those…read morespots that just hits different Right on the beach, with the sound of the waves in the background and a perfect sunset view--it's the kind of place where you don't rush. The seafood is fresh, simple, and exactly what you want after a day by the water. Their fish & chips were crispy, flavorful, and done right, and everything just tasted like it belonged there. What really makes this place special isn't just the food--it's the atmosphere. Relaxed, unpretentious, and genuinely enjoyable. You can come in sandy, sit back, and just enjoy the moment. It's not about being fancy--it's about good food, ocean air, and that laid-back beach feeling you don't find everywhere. Definitely a spot worth stopping at if you're anywhere near Boca Grande.

I took my 90 yr old mom to south beach bar and grill for lunch. I wanted to get her out of bed and…read moreto see some of the beautiful sites that she always loved. She's 90 pounds and can barely walk. We arrived and I had her with her walker slowly behind me. As I was approaching the host station an elderly man very ru says that I can't bring that in here. I'm confused and thinking he was talking about her walker. As the rudeness continues he finally says that my soda can. As it's pretty much empty I offered to take it to the table to be thrown away. I didn't want to leave it there at the welcome station that had no apparent trash can. I'm thinking germs! He then proceeded to tell me to go somewhere else to eat, those are the rules ect and I'm still baffled by the way he was talking to me as if I'm a criminal and unlawful. I'm baffled that I could be treated so rudely. I obviously didn't want to take her somewhere else as the hour is so important as that's all the energy she has. He could have been welcoming, kind and stayed the drink and I would obliged easily. Instead I was humiliated and disrespected We had a nice waiter and food was fine but as we were leaving the other waitresses on review had apparent chip on their shoulders as well. As if they didn't want to be bothered. I havent been to the restaurant since had reopened and I certainly won't be back! Customer service needs to address this issue!!!!

The people who ate the filet mignon purchased from Costco instead of the fish option felt just great.

I knocked a star off for price...it was just a bit extremely priced in my opinion. I wasn't surprised by that given its location, but that does factor into my rating. For example, my grouper was $46. That being said, the food was five stars. My server worked well with me for my dietary restrictions (gluten free most importantly for me) and I felt confident the kitchen would follow through; and they did as I felt fine in the days after. The honey almond sauce was a nice dairy free option for me and was so different than anything else I've had. The asparagus was thick and cooked perfectly, just like the cut of grouper. I just love when even the sides are five star worthy. Date night prices, but you won't leave disappointed. Instead you'll have a great well rounded experience and your taste buds will thank you.

For an appetizer we shared the Tuna Tataki (Chilled extra rare, seared tuna sliced thin and served atop Asian slaw dressed in a cilantro vinaigrette). Good stuff. I had the grilled Grouper Sandwich, and my other half had the Crab Cake Sandwich. They both come with cole slaw and fresh fruit and a pickle. Delish. Shared their famous Key Lime Pie for dessert.

I started with the pain pill cocktail - their version of a pain killer. It was really tasty. It came in a very tall glass with some cinnamon sprinkle. The pineapple was fresh. While I looked over the menu, she brought out some warm crusty rolls with salted butter. Yummmmm. I was famished so I dug in. They had so many things on the menu I was a bit in information overload. I started with the coconut shrimp, which they say is a house specialty. The dipping sauce was interesting - like a cold coconut milk? The shrimp were butterflied and lightly fried. There is four on the plate. Pretty good. For dinner, I had the fresh catch with mashed potatoes and the zucchini medley. The medley had zucchini. squash, onions and red bell pepper in it. They have other sides like sweet potato as well. You get your choice of two. The entree came with a side salad. It was a small portion. It had some sweet candied nuts on it, with some shredded mixed cheese and a side of their house French dressing. Some of the pieces of lettuce were really long so it was kinda messy to eat. The red snapper was my choice of fresh catch. I asked for it grilled but the other option is blackened. The fish was a good portion. About 6 to 8 ounces. The mashed potatoes were delicious. I enjoyed my meal and I was too stuffed for dessert. But I saw the bread pudding with ice cream at another table. Wow! The scoop of ice cream on that dish was huge! The key lime ice cream pie sounded interesting and I imagine they have a good tiramisu. Next time I'll get dessert. Service was stellar. I was not bothered but I was checked on often for another drink and water etc. plates were cleared often but did not distract me. I really enjoyed being outside because they had a one man band playing guitar and singing so wonderfully. It's a gorgeous setting outside. A bit warm, but I was gross from golf anyways. They do have quite a few fans but I'm glad I was away from them. I hate when I'm trying to eat and it's all I can do to keep my hair from blowing in my face and mouth from overzealous ceiling fans. Bathrooms are clean and well stocked. Parking is a private lot out front and I easily found a space. This place was recommended by a coworker. I am so glad I took her recommendation!

The staff works as a team and you can tell, everything moved quickly and everyone was helpful. Our main server was especially friendly and made great recommendations. The food is definitely meant for sharing. We split a dozen medium blue crabs, two dozen clams, gumbo, and a stone crab and shrimp special. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and reasonably priced for the quality. Nothing felt overpriced. Do not skip the key lime pie. It was the perfect ending. Overall, it's simple, casual, and really well done. I'd absolutely go back.

Only thing to make it a little better would be to add some white fish to the recipe like most places do, but otherwise it was delicious. I had the fresh grill red snapper which was very good as well. Their sheaphead fish soup sample was very tasty, I will order that on next visit. Their coleslaw and corn was made to perfection. My wife is an excellent chef and for us to actually find a local place that was this good, was a wonderful experience. We will be back!
