Will not be going back. We ordered 2 seafood platters, 1 appetizer sampler and kids chicken strips. It took over 1 hour to get our food and once it finally arrived, it was barely warm. We also had 2 side salads that never arrived and when the food was brought out, the waitress said she would be getting the salads "shortly". I said to cancel them bc we expected them before the main course. She said that's not how they do things. She then apologized and offered 1 different side...read full review
We had the pleasure of being served by Brian Burger at The Island, and we just wanted to say how much we enjoyed meeting him! He was not only attentive but also entertaining and funny ! It’s rare to encounter a server with such personality , we thought his boss should know what a gem they have on their team! :0)

Looking forward to Dreamer@IslandWaterfrontBar&Grill events ! 2025

The Island Waterfront Bar & Grill is a casual and welcoming spot located right on the water, offering great views overlooking the Indian River. The vibe is laid-back, with a roadhouse feel that makes it a fun place to socialize and enjoy the scenery. Visitors can relax outside at covered spots, where they might see friendly birds and pelicans diving into the water, adding to the relaxed atmosphere. The restaurant is known for its friendly bartenders who serve very cold, reasonably priced drinks, and interact with guests, creating a warm and lively environment.
The menu is flexible, with options to customize meals, such as adding an egg to a hamburger or requesting different sides like homemade potato chips instead of fries. Popular dishes include the crab cake sandwich, fried conch, Mahi Mango salad, and the T-bone meal with veggies and loaded potato. Many customers praise the food for its flavor and freshness, especially the fried conch and summer salad. Drinks like Pina coladas are enjoyed, though some reviews mention they were almost virgin until rum was requested, which slightly affected the overall food rating.
Live music on Sundays and the opportunity to stay longer by sitting closer to the dock enhance the experience. Overall, The Island Waterfront Bar & Grill is appreciated as a fun, local spot to enjoy good food, strong drinks, and beautiful views, making it a favorite for those seeking a relaxed waterfront outing.
