We came here with our friends from Michigan who moved to Florida. The view of the water was awesome and the food was delicious. Our server was helpful in recommending items. I had the French dip which was excellent. Our friends had pulled pork nachos, that were interestingly on home-made potato chips, and fish. All in all a wonderful experience. The restaurant is located at the end of a street that has no sign so make sure to Google it.

Good tasting food. Good service sat right down. The water has a funky smell when it’s breezy but overall nice atmosphere. Kinda strange how it’s back in a trailer park. Disappointed by how much food you get for the price. I’ll post a picture of the shrimp dinner for $21. 8 pieces of shrimp a little bit of fry’s and scoop of Mac and cheese

This is not a restaurant with white linen table cloths or servers with white gloves. It is a very laid back, open air place. There is a bar and tv’s at one end, and tables and chairs spread out. Our table was actually just a few feet from the Gulf. There is ample parking and is wheel chair accessible. Jamie was our server, obviously well seasoned in her craft. She brought me my cod fish, French fries and slaw in a short period of time. The cod was delicious, and the slaw tasted a bit like KFC’s which is my favorite. My sister had salmon and rice (ample servings), which was delicious. We had a piece of orange cake that was fantastic. Our bill was around $60.00. One feels right at home here—hence five stars.

A lively place with live music on the weekends. Open air restaurant on the water. They don't take reservations. Friday at 6:15, the wait was 40 minutes. The food was good but not really big portions.

We’ve been to the Lighthouse a number of times for food and cocktails, and we usually had a good experience. This last time was an exception. Everything was sticky…the table, the menu and the cocktail menu. The nachos were the absolute worst we’ve ever had. They used kettle chips rather than nacho chips. The chips at the bottom were completely soggy, because there was a half inch of tomato liquid at the bottom of the plate.The location was beautiful, as usual. The service was good. I don’t think we’ll be back unless our local friends tell us it’s under new management.

It's right on the water. The brisket melt was very good. Skip the frozen cocktails.

We had the pork nachos and fish dip appetizer. Both were amazing. We usually get fish or shrimp, but loved the nachos!Views are awesome. Great atmosphere.More parking spots... which is good. We have driven in so many times and there are no parking spots, so we just keep driving to the next restaurant. So glad to see that improvement!Restrooms are under renovation. Port-o-pots at the entrance.
