What a gem!!! A little bit of a drive from the Cape, but absolutely worth it. The service was absolutely incredible. Our server was the nicest and most welcoming. The food was pretty incredible. We saw ropa vieja on the menu and brisket and didn't think the flavors would be authentic, I mean who can cook both so well and know the right flavors of ropa vieja and smoke a brisket. We were pleasantly surprised. We also ordered tacos that came with rice and beans. We were hesitant but so happy with the ropa vieja so we tried the rice and beans. All the Latin flavors were so on point. And the brisket on our tacos was smoked perfectly and the shrimp tacos were seasoned and cooked perfectly. I feel we tried enough to know the chef is talented and is very well rounded. We thank you for your delicious food and wonderful service. We will definitely be back here. Love from Miami Florida! read more

We wanted to try this place for a few weeks now and finally came here today for an early dinner. It was Sunday at 4:30pm, we were the first customers here. Staff were super welcoming, and we sat down at the bar, country music playing, great vibe! We had hoped for the whole deep fried snapper but sadly it was out. We took their advice and ordered the fresh mullet bites for appetizer, which was awesomely fresh! For entree I chose the grouper sandwich and hubby ordered the rib eye which he was not too thrilled with. My sandwich was great, huge piece of deep fried fish served with french fries and hush puppies, probably the best hush puppies I ever had. By the time we left, the bar area was filled up along with few tables in the main dining room. We will definitely be back again. After all, I need to try that whole friend grouper! read more

Driving down Pine Island Road, you may just miss this amazing gem...DON'T MiSS IT!! Definitely park your car and get ready for amazing service and food. i had the ropa vieja which was up to par with my own grandmothers cooking. It was perfect!! The meat was so tender, it was the perfect balance of tomato sauce and seasonings...which most restaurants fail to do. My husband had the Grouper platter and the fish was super fresh and delicious. We both had the sweet plantains, black beans and rice...which were amazing too. The whole restaurant and its staff were very welcoming. Alice, our server, made us feel right at home and treated us like we were regulars even though this was our first time at Eagles Nest. It's a casual restaurant and you have the option to eat indoors which has a very colorful bar and cute tables or outdoors under their tiki covered outdoor area that has picnic tables and a stage. Definitely coming back to enjoy the outdoors when they have their live music. Do not hesitate to drive out there and enjoy the true old school Florida vibe and great food. read more

Great service and servers! Loved the food! The fish tacos were the best I've ever had! We also loved the sheer vibe of the place, you just felt comfortable the minute you walked in! Absolutely would come again! read more

We had an amazing meal at the Eagle's Nest. The Cuban food is authentic. The black beans taste like someone's grandmother is in the kitchen. My husband and I shared the fajitas and they were terrific and plenty to share. We will definitely be back. read more

Went here yesterday to try their burgers, I had the Parm Mushroom burger, it was delicious. One of those burgers where you need to dislocate your jaw to get your face around it. Ask for extra napkins too, you'll need them. My wife had a bread bowl filled with smoked brisket in juices, she said it was awesome. We live just off the island, but we'll be back, I want to try their pizza. I saw several picked up while I was there, so somebody likes them. read more

The food here is absolutely amazing! I got the Ropa Vieja and it was phenomenal, I could eat a bucket of their plantains. If you are in the area you need to stop here. The Cuban sandwich, ropa vieja and brisket tacos are our favorites but you can't go wrong with anything on the menu! The owners are amazing people and it's evident through the food they serve read more

Everything on the menu is absolutely delicious, the Cuban, the brisket tacos. Amazing authentic Cuban cuisine. Great people, and all the specials on the menu are to die for. Underrating place! Best place on the island! The best plantains I've ever had! Never had a bad thing on the menu! read more

We enjoyed pizza at home by ordering take out. It was still nice and hot and was delicious. We picked our own favorite toppings and even though it added up to a pretty hefty price, it was very good and cooked perfectly. read more

Very cool spot in Bokeelia on Pine Island. The owner Yovani is continuously working and making this place an island favorite. The beautiful murals, the newly constructed tiki bar all add to the awesome ambiance of this local spot. Some great food is always added to the menu and they always have some kind of entertainment throughout the week. Definitely give this place a shot. read more

I ordered the grouper sandwich and fries. The fish was half the size of the roll. The fries were ok but for 21 dollars, it was disappointing. I will not return to this location. read more

Don't miss this place good food good local people Have the walnut salad and the Angus burger real good

We weren't sure what to expect when we pulled in and entered this place. We were the only ones in a restaurant around 1PM. Hmmmm. We were told by the lone waitress that they were only serving appetizers and sandwiches for lunch. I opted for the Cuban sandwich, while my dining partner ordered the beef brisket sandwich. My Cuban was loaded with sweet ham, tender pork, Swiss cheese, pickle and was pressed like a Panini. The fries were fresh and hot and reminiscent of McDonalds (when you actually get them hot and fresh). My partner said his brisket sandwich, fries and coleslaw were also delicious. We both brought half of our sandwiches home because they were huge. As we were near finishing, the owner (Millie) came to our table to ask how our food was. We found out that after Ian hit that they collaborated to give out free meals to anyone in need that couldn't get off the island. Luckily, they had generator power so hundreds could eat as well as cool off in the air conditioning. I love going to family owned restaurants, and if you do, I would highly recommend taking an afternoon or evening visit to check this place out! read more

This place has everything I look for in a bar and grill... good drinks, great food and live music most nights!

Wonderful food, service and atmosphere. Portions are great so you never leave hungry. Would definitely recommend this place.

Wonderful service and food. The Cuban food on the buffet is phenomenal and a great value. The pizza is reallllllly good too. This business helped so many others after the Hurricane and many of the staff members are still hurting.... I love being able to support them while having such good food. I highly suggest visiting. read more

The Eagle’s Nest Restaurant - Cuban staples from the buffet - Barbeque Near Me - Bokeelia, Florida

Since our last review, the restaurant has faltered in a few items: inconsistent hours and high staff turnover. Example: 'game day' specials-- after four visits, it was clear that management is challenged by their sports viewing--no tvs are tuned to the popular football and other games. Staff does not take time to have the sports on and thus folks move on. One of the managers is often there but oblivious to the actual events they have advertised. The initial excitement of the eatery has dimmed and we are regretful on their behalf. A new restaurant is not a hobby and folks accepting work opportunities are not able to make a living wage in our view. It's on a downward spiral sadly. Today at lunch, 4 cars. Next door at Street Eatz, it's a full house and they don't even have full bar. They need to seriously consider hiring a professional full time manager who might be able to turn this around. Please. Food is good when attentive cooks are available; again inconsistent. read more

I've been here a few times to eat before & it's usually good. We went tonight & ordered the brisket tacos & the grouper platter. It was good, the service was good. But when I got the check they charged $0.50 for tartar sauce with a fish dinner that was already $28! I'm glad I didn't ask for ketchup also! I know it's hard to run a restaraunt, but cmon people! You just lost a customer & I only live a block away! read more

The food was amazing! Stopped in for a quick bite and left with full satisfied bellies. Millie was extremely attentive to my special request and would have done anything to ensure we were happy. If your in the area it's worth the trip. Can't wait to taste the breakfast and dinner menu. read more

I can't believe I've been coming to Bokeelia for years and only recently discovered this favorite locals spot. We dined on Mother's Day, and the draw was no wait, open late, and a complimentary glass of wine for moms (woohoo!). Upon entering, it doesn't look like much. We asked to be seated near the musician, and the big dining area feels like you're in a basement. But that didn't deter us! Our server was so friendly and knowledgeable, and recommended the Cuban sandwich to my friend, which was agreeably one of the best Cuban sandwiches we've tasted. We also split the fajitas, which were plentiful, served with the freshest toppings, all of which tasted homemade. The drinks were cheap, and the vibe was cozy. This will definitely be a staple on future trips! read more

Only good thing about our entire night was the milk my kid got. Owner or manager was to busy at the bar with a glass of wine and berries to even bother checking on why we didn't touch our food. Server was great tried to get us some help but to no luck. Tiki bar cannot help the lack of management this establishment has. read more

Food excellent, service great. One star removed due to loud country music drowning out conversation.

They have the best pizza we've found on or around Pine Island. We highly recommend! Fussy about taste, texture and toppings. read more

EVERYTHING was fantastic! My party ordered the tomahawk steak, whole fried snapper, fried shrimp, and the ribs. Everything was delicious. The staff was super friendly and extremely knowledgeable. We will definitely be back to try the rest of the menu. read more

This was such an enjoyable lunch! The rack of ribs was amazing...cooked to perfection! The atmosphere was pleasant and the service was great, our server was very attentive. Also, it was a pleasure to meet Millie the owner. She fed many people freely, for weeks after Hurricane Ian, proving she not only has a great restaurant but has a real heart for the community!

We dined here a week after their opening and I was pleasantly surprised how efficient the wait staff was in this short of time. We had a party of six and everyone was happy with their meal. The Eagle's Nest is a great addition to our island and I can't wait to return. I am really excited to try out their breakfast. read more

Menu change, ownership change? Not sure. Quality not as good as it was when first opened. Cuban chicken soup charged $15 for a small bowl. Steaks, not quality as once was but cost is more. Was a fan at the beginning but not any more. For price points charged, quality of wine and liquor should be better choices. Live on Island and definitely will go off Island for a better quality meal for the price, highly disappointed! 12 oz or 18 oz options only for steaks, really? Always seems short staffed. Good luck! read more
