“Great place. Always a good time.“

“Great spot to visit by boat for lunch. Good food at reasonable prices“

“Caleb was definitely on top of servicing the pool lounge area! I can’t attest to the food since we just ordered poolside cocktails. It was very crowded but still found a couple of lounges. Caleb promptly served our cocktails and made his rounds checking on us and keeping us hydrated :) Thanks Caleb!“

“Great food and Great service from Kelly!!! I will definitely be going there more often. I had chicken kabobs and my son had sword fish. 👍“

“Big shout out to Brad at Bob's Beach Bar! Super fun and gave us great recommendations for places to try in the area. We enjoyed some delicious cocktails in the sand and 🌞 with Brad as our bartender a couple of afternoons while at Pink Shell. He's the best!“

“I have seen so many good and bad reviews. I think it's all about time of year and time you get there. If it's super busy and you are in a hurry...forget about it. But that goes for almost everyplace you go. There were 4 of us on a Friday night April 10 at 5:00. We had 2 tables to pick from and there were more on the outer deck. It was windy so we chose inside which had an amazing view of the bay. The hostess was super nice and accommodating. After just 2-3 minutes we were greeted by our excellent server (forgot name but a Kentucky gal). Taco soup, shrimp salad, and crunchy grouper. Everything was great. Food prep seemed fast with multiple people bringing it out. The crown royal pour was not over the top great but it was the same or better than most establishments. They do have free parking but you have to get lucky because there are limited spaces. The music (which was upstairs) was outstanding. We sat right next to the twosome singing and playing and it wasn't loud at all. If you want a decent meal at decent prices, ambiance, and a real FMB vibe this is a great place. We will be back!“

“If you’re looking for a true dive bar experience, this place definitely delivers. The atmosphere is lively, unfiltered, and full of personality, with a mix of locals and visitors that makes it feel welcoming especially if you come in with the right attitude. Drinks are cheap, the bartenders (especially Tina) can be fun and engaging, and extras like karaoke or the occasional free jello shots add to the charm.

That said, it’s not for everyone. It’s cash only, which can be inconvenient, and service can feel inconsistent depending on the crowd or timing. Some guests have had less than great experiences with how situations were handled, so expectations should be set for a no frills, old school bar vibe.
Overall, it’s a fun, memorable spot if you enjoy dive bars and don’t mind a little rough around the edges energy.“

“On vacation and this place came highly recommended. There was a bit of a wait (Sat night) but worth it. I had the crab cakes that came with a butter keylime sauce. A+ Will return on our next vacation .“

“ROB was the best bartender! When we asked how long he'd been working at Dixie Fish, he told us her was new to the bar. He was Great!!“

“Our favorite did NOT disappoint! For the first time we skipped the oysters for the bacon wrapped shrimp- we ate it so fast I didn’t get a pic…. Delicious, great bacon and even better shrimp! Next up was Cajun shrimp scallop pasta! Oh man- best we have ever had. Smooth cajun cream sauce over ample grilled shrimp and scallops and linguine. Yum!! Had the drink of the day- blackberry mule- perfection. Thanks SOBs for another fabulous evening!!“

“I'm a local and recently spent a fabulous staycation weekend at The Pink Shell with my daughter for her birthday. The resort is fabulous. Excellent service, beautiful rooms, awesome amenities. We dined at Bongos and Jon made our weekend even more special with his fantastic service at the bar. He's the best bartender on FMB! We love Bongos at the Pink Shell and can't wait to return.“

“Love this place. Great location. Can't wait for the building to be open“

“We had a fantastic Sunday with our feet in the sand, enjoying a great live band. The vibe was perfect, there was a wide selection of cocktails, ice-cold beer, and the food was reasonably priced. We absolutely loved the place!“

“Heerlijk gegeten! 10 out of 10!! 🥰“

“I would give a higher rating if I could, this place was perfect. The view of the marina was beautiful and sunny but there was plenty of shade, the food was delicious, definitely try the fish, and then the exceptional staff, you guys were fabulous, I want to come here everyday. Thank you Junkanoo!“

“Although the Island View restaurant just recently reopened to customers, it has not fully opened its rooftop bar area but will be open very soon. That being said, the restaurant portion that is open is beyond comparison with its spectacular views and top notch service.
We ordered the chicken wings (jerk style) as an appetizer and the Fish and Chips and a Pepperoni Pizza.
Everything was very flavorful and made correctly.
The menu ranges from pizza to steamed oysters to various other options.
Our waitress, Karmen went out of her way to make our dining experience even more enjoyable with friendly chat and was very knowledgeable about any questions we had about the menu or any local information that we had questions about.
Overall it was a great experience and we enjoyed our visit.
I would encourage anyone to visit the 6th floor of the Lani Kai and try the Island View restaurant. I can’t wait to return and see how they are doing when the other portion of the rooftop restaurant opens.
Edit: I believe the entire rooftop of the Island View restaurant is open as of 11/21/2025.“
