Big Hickory Fishing Nook Mrna

Closed due to Hurricane damage and water Surge. Owners lost the restaurant, marina and office building including their own home and rentals on Hickory Island.

The restaurant sits back a bit off of Hickory Blvd. making it a little difficult to see but I am glad we found it. Peaceful waterfront dining with the best food we had all week.

I want to say first that I stayed next door to this restaurant and it was access. If the food wasn’t good, I would say so. I come down most years around the 2nd or third week in September and many times they are closed for the season. I’m glad they were open this year. I had the coconut shrimp one night and the Grouper tacos another night. Both were very good. They also had a choice of IPAs, so I was happy. I think I’m going to try their lunch one day, it seems like quite a bargain.

The food was good and service fast. Not cheap but a decent value. We both had grilled grouper which was perfectly prepared.

We had a 5-star amazing experience AGAIN at Big Hickory Waterfront Grille. Thank you so much to Tracey (& her son Marcus) for welcoming our Porsche club back with a group of 66 people. Magical experience dining right on the water. Excellent parking for Porsches and cannot speak highly enough about the food and service. Add blackened Mahi to the Beet Salad, it's fantastic. Fish tacos are awesome too. Thank you so much Tracey - we will be back again for sure!

We stopped in for lunch. Had the caprese salad, mahi-mahi bites and grouper sandwich. It was all fine, but nothing special. The mahi-mahi bites were extremely salty and the grouper in the sandwich was thin. The view was nice and service was good.

Perfect relaxing dinner along a calm bay. Great service, food and view! Enjoyed watching the storm to our east. Cold beer, delicious and flavorful tacos and burger. We will be back time and time again !

We stopped for dinner one evening with no real expectations. Our dinner was incredible. Cubana Grouper was awesome!!!

Had grouper fingers and they were excellent. Companion had blackened grouper, also very good. Key Lime pie was equally good. Very relaxing meal on the dock with good pace of serving.

Wonderful place. Great atmosphere. Can dine inside or outside. How quick you get in depends on when you dine. After 2 PM but before 4 got you in almost immediately. Hostess did a great job seating people and trying to accomodate requests. Very clean. Food was great. The boom boom shrimp tacos had just the right amount of zing. Key lime pie was delicious. Mango margaritas were great. Service was attentive. We enjoyed the entire experience so much we came back twice in 2 days. View is very nice. They have a parking lot. Really a fantastic experience. Highly recommend.

Definitely a place to visit. Great view, good food and nice staff. Everything was delicious. We loved sitting right by the water and watching passing boats

I love it, love it, love it!! A little slice of old Bonita Springs with food that will knock your socks off!! Prices reflect the quality; yet still affordable. Marina with fuel dock to boot. You are likely to see dolphins and manatees during waterside dining. Indoor & outdoor seating available. I've been a patron since 1980.

Definitely a hidden gem that we are so glad we found! The grouper was excellent, the shrimp pasta was fantastic and even the blackened chicken Caesar wrap was good! This was a family dinner and in order to avoid the crazy FMB area, we drove south. So glad we did! Everyone working was pleasant and our server was knowledgeable and helpful!

Good food with great portions. Will go another time. Everything that came out of the kitchen looked delicious

Very good restaurant Great food great service. Had peel and eat shrimp appetizer sauce was best I ever had. Highly recommended
