Loved it! Hubby and I both had the tuna tacos. Tacos were excellent. Tuna prepared perfectly. Served 2 tacos per order. Will dine here again.

Old Florida-style waterfront drinking. Need I say any more. Plenty of tables and chairs spaced out. Only one bartender in the self service bar.

Food is good beer is cheap, it's kinda a hidden gem. Order food beer and wine at the bar, seat yourself.

5 stars for the best ahi tuna tacos this side of Hawaii. Fresh catch of the day served out of the permanent food truck. Friendly chef and bar service in this little hole in the wall under a tiki on the water. Laid back Old Florida lawn chair on the dock vibe. I'm so glad there are still places like this.

Great view and food with a very relaxed atmosphere. We tried the ahi tuna tacos and pork wings, both were very good! HOWEVER, the bartender today was incredibly snide, rude, and condescending. It was our first time there and we asked a couple questions about the menu. I swear it was liked we'd demanded one of her kidneys!!! If you hate your job that much, do us all a favor and QUIT!!!

Hidden gem. Excellent lunch. Best tacos and grouper we've had in a long time. Chef is awesome. Had a line in the whole time we were there. And you can't beat $4 beers and $5 wines.
