Fantastic place! Awesome grouper sandwiches and tacos. Waitress was amazing with our toddler!

Our lunch of the infamous Grouper Taco washed down with their Perfect Margaritas was outstanding. Our server Faith added Spice & Fun to the experience. Highly recommend this local eatery..

Grouper anything 🙌🏻

Our party enjoyed our delicious meals (grouper tacos, smokehouse patty melt, and mondo chicken sandwich) and a great mocktail. Service was wonderful even being extremely busy. Will be a must visit for our future trips to the area!

Rob B. and the manager were very accommodating and responsive to our large group. Went above and beyond despite having internet issues on a busy night! The manager was kind enough to lend us blankets from his car when there was no heaters available.

I can rave enough about the Ugly Grouper! We went there 3 times during our one week trip to Florida. The grouper was to DIE for and the pasta was the best I’ve ever had. Looking forward to many more visits in the future.

The food was unappetizing, grilled grouper was oversalted, the rice was underseasoned, and the coleslaw was too sweet, seasoned with pineapple and a lot of celery. The atmosphere was nice, and the service was impeccable. Unfortunately, the food was very poor and of bad quality. This is a place to spend a nice time with a drink or beer in a pleasant atmosphere. On Saturdays, there is live music, which enhances the ambiance of this place; however, the food is very poor, and I do not recommend it.

Parking: The parking is located right next to the restaurant.

Its a must visit every time we come to the island. If you dont order the grouper tacos snd fried green crab tomatoes you are missing out. Plus the games and live music are a fun time with or without tge kids.
