Too much plastic. By river??? Bad. Serves soda in a can and makes you pour into another plastic cup. Plastic silverware. Plastic straws. Plastic trays. This is dangerous for all of the sea animals especially by the water. Do not recommend. Also makes you seem that the food for the dog is free. Nope. Service was bad. Please do not come here

We really like this place, it's off the main path and a great water side place to meet with friends and rent a boat.

This was a great place to stop at!! Love the views. The food is great but the service from Maddie was better! Anyone up this way stop by. Maddie is great! The dockside cuban was delicious.

Great service Maddie steered us right on our food orders. Wish all the service providers could follow her lead. Remember brackish water ( inside joke)

The food was great. One of the best burgers out there and I eat burgers all the time everywhere I go. The service was phenomenal. Maddie was our server and did an amazing job. Very attentive and personable. Always smiling knowledgeable. Couldn't have asked for better service. Will be coming back.

Made the trip after seeing this makeover on Bar Rescue. Really a diamond in the rough for sure...but was sorely disappointed that the bar only served beer and no spirits. The nachos were ok. Service. Ok. Being very knowledgeable of river and lake drive up bars, I could definitely see where this would be an awesome place. Maybe it is. It definitely has a lot of appeal as a river bar/grill. Just get some mixed drinks in there!

We were changed to the new Harris tritoon. We love all the features of it. It was a smooth ride and we did our typical 3 hour ride to the hillsbourough river at idle speed through downtown Tampa.We were shocked and dissappointed that the gas bill was $20-30.00 higher than we usually pay for same excursion. 60.00 for gas seemed to be rather large jump.Either the boat is a gas guzzler or a mistake was made in the illing process.

Cole at Jerry's location was great. Flexible with changes & quick with check-out

The staff at the dock were great, helpfull during our departure and return. The pontoon was clean and ran as expected.We discovered after departure the depth finder and stereo did not work properly. I will make a point to check them before leaving the dock next time.

The crew at Jerry's were very nice and helpful, made entire experience much better. These guys and gals are part of the reason I love FBC so much. Their service level and friendliness were great.
