    Happy Hour Menu 3.21.25

    JP took such great care of us! I saw a photo of his brother on here and thought it was him! He looks just like his brother and I had to do a matching photo to post on here! He gave us a cool sticker and a stamp card. It was such a a nice surprise when he gave us 10% off our check just for being locals! The tuna in my bowl was great, so fresh and I like the tortilla surrounding it. I wished the rice a tad bit fluffier and not stuck to eat other and if it came with some lines on the side so I can squeeze some juice on top I did come in to try the smoked fish dip that I saw for happy hour a few months ago but that was gone and they didn't have the base for the crab soup It was a simple kinda cluttered keys style setting. But it was nice weather outside so it wasn't too bad eating with the fan hitting us Would like to give this a place another go once they get the crab soup back and the shrimp

    Stopped in on our way down the Keys. Quaint little place with friendly service and a fishing vibe. The food was served hot & was attractive. My only complaint was that my shrimp could have been seasoned more. It was just a bit bland. Otherwise, it was a good experience, and the prices were in line with other restaurants in the area.

    GLUTEN FREE fried shrimp!!!

    This place is AMAZING!!!!! I never eat fried foods as most is shared with a fryer that isn't dedicated to GF. They used a light dusting of GF flour and fry in a dedicated fryer so you can get sweet potato fries or regular. The service was wonderful. We sat outside and thankfully there was a fan blowing on me. But they do have indoor seating. Don't let the size of this place fool you. Amazing food!!!! We will be back!!

    We had lunch here and really enjoyed the outdoor patio. Plenty of shade on a warm day. Shrimp and grits and coconut shrimp with amazing brussel sprouts! Our waiter was delightful! He was funny and focused on making sure we had a great experience.

    This place has amazing food--always has! I've been back more than a handful of times, and it never disappoints. On one occasion, there was a small mistake with my takeout order, but when I mentioned it during my next visit, the staff went above and beyond by generously making it right with an extra portion.. The food is always quick, the restaurant is clean, and the service is consistently friendly. Highly recommend!

    What a delicious meal we had celebrating my youngest 30th bday!…read more The server and everyone attending to us were friendly and attentive.

    My favorite spot this whole trip!…read more My boyfriend and I are on our first weekend getaway together. We decided our last dinner in town would be here. Our friend Bubba highly recommended it, saying "square grouper slaps." If you know him, you know that is extremely high praise. Let me tell you, square grouper does indeed slap. We were seated on the patio, facing the marina. We got to watch a magical sunset as we literally stuffed ourselves stupid with a variety of insanely yummo seafood. We got the coconut shrimp, portobello fries, scallops, and the tile fish, all per the amazing Ari's recommendations. Did I take any pictures NO I was enjoying a wonderful evening with my yummy man. They were all absolute wins. I've never had coconut shrimp before, and these were absolutely delightful- tender and tropical, which is not a flavor I thought I would enjoy but was happy at that uno reverse. The portobello fries were crisp and juicy?? And meaty from the mushroom?? Idk man a bitch was into it I ate them all. My scallops were divine- they came with this pork belly and sweet potato hash and just pleasured every tastebud with every bite. His tile fish was good, it was crispy and gorg. He ate the whole thing so fast, while commenting in between bites how much he was enjoying it. We also got the key lime pie (mine) and the brownie (his). It was literally my favorite key lime pie of the whole trip, it was so good. We couldn't finish the desserts and took them home, I'm really excited to have them as the best midnight snack of my life. Amazing Ari- you are a gem. Her service was unmatched. She was so happy, informative, and attentive. Her recommendations did not miss. She took phenomenal pictures for us in front of the water that I can one day show our kids and say "look how hot mom and dad were before you guys!" She needs a 200% raise. Thank you for making our last night here so wonderful!

    Delicious food, great ambiance, and an amazing view!…read more We ordered the coconut shrimp as an appetizer and the fish sandwich for lunch, and everything definitely hit the spot. The food came out quickly and was delicious. I'm giving 4 stars because the service was a little slow. It took a while for our server to greet us, and they didn't bring clean plates after we finished our appetizer. We also asked for our sandwiches to be cut in half, but ended up having to do it ourselves. Overall, we enjoyed our meal and the beautiful atmosphere. With a little more attention to service, this would easily be a 5-star experience!

    What you order matters here. We were here twice and our first dishes were outstanding! The Mahi…read moreMahi was delicious and beautifully prepared. The salad was creative and tasty and the grilled shrimp were perfection, large and flavorful. French fries are perfect and crunchy. Heard from others how good the spiny lobster is(although very pricey). Service was great and the area is beautiful. We were excited to go again and decided the shrimp tacos and Mahi Mahi tacos would give us more of the same. Really nice live music was happening and again service was great. Tacos were a huge disappointment! Trying to find the fish was almost impossible, tiny pieces! The shrimp was bay size baby shrimp that couldn't be tasted through all the other stuff. Big disappointment. Fries still good. Would go again but keep our expectations to what we have had and not more
