Ive been here multiple times, but usually just visit the bar area that is outside for drinks and appetizers. I did visit recently with my family (5 of us total) including my mom who was visiting from out of state and I wasn’t impressed at all with any aspect of our visit. We went on a Tuesday at around 4pm. The inside was pretty empty, only a few people sitting at the inside bar. We weren’t greeted by an employees when we got there. We tried to move two smaller tables together to be able to sit together, we didn’t want to sit at one of the huge tables just in case a large party did arrive. We were told we couldn’t move the tables, but we could sit at one of the large tables and that was fine. However, after the waitress told us we couldn’t move the tables and we sat at another table it was 15-20 minutes before she came to take our drink orders and she was rude the entire time we were there, like she was upset she had to do her job. It wasn’t like they were slammed with customers, it was our group, the maybe 4 people at the bar and eventually another family of about 6 came in. She wasn’t working alone, it was her, one other waitress and the woman working the bar. The food wasn’t terrible but it wasn’t hot when it came to the table, we didn’t bring it up though because it took us way to long to get our food and again she acted like us being there was an inconvenience. So we ate and left and just agreed we wouldn’t be going back. It’s unfortunate because it used to be a great place to go.

Calling all seniors over 65, the child's burger and fries is the perfect portion for those of us that don't eat huge meals. Best damn gator bites in the world!!
Great food and atmosphere.

Such a great stop for a bite to eat. The service was amazing Cat H always made sure we had what we needed.
App was gator bites with a sauce.
5/5 they were seasoned good. The sauce needed a upgrade with their hot sauce on the table.
I got the 5/5 turkey club the special for the day it was MASSIVE and amazing served with well seasoned fries. Couldn't finsih it and brought half of it home.
Hubby got 5/5 the grouper fingers basket with fries. They were crisp and flaky with a tender inside. Perfect with the sauce given.

Great views and atmosphere, but the wait and service is lacking. Waited at least 10 to 15mins before someone came to greet us and get our drink orders. The food took a bit to come out, and they were not that busy. And it was OK, nothing to write home about.

Had high hopes. Nice location and property. Always wanted to try since moving to Central Florida. The food was average at best. The service seemed slower than it should be. The waitress missed the mark on a few things. Walked into the restroom full of cigarette smoke. Bottom line, I felt disappointed when we left. On to the next. Good luck!

Great food and amazing view!

I had the mahi tacos and sweet potato fries. The food was absolutely fantastic, and you really can’t beat the view as you’re eating.

I’m not out this way very often, but I would definitely come back

Very cool place with water views. Grouper was outstanding and service was great. We felt like outsiders as the customers present didn't seem to appreciate having us there. Maybe because we were being loud with the kids or because we spoke spanish amongst ourselves. Still recommend a visit.
