“We enjoyed a wonderful supper tonight at Saltwater Grill! It was our first time dining, and we’ll be forever customers. The restaurant has a fresh coastal vibe, and the food was delicious. Erin, our server provided excellent service, and her recommendation didn’t miss. We ordered the manic sushi roll, lobster spring rolls, and martinis to start. Then for our main entrees the prime rib, and catch of the day scallops. It was all wonderful. We ended with the cheesecake, which was absolutely delicious and enough for 5 people to share. If you’re ever in the PCB area, you must visit Saltwater Grill. It was excellent!”

“We booked a stay for Oct 11th thru the 14th. we did have a balcony, if you would call it that. Walk into our cell, I mean room, it instantly had an odor. We didnt even have a ceiling, It was trusses and a support beam. The floors were dirty, the chair thar should have been teal in color, was brown in areas. The walls were covered in dirty handprints. I'm sorry but it doesn't take but a few minutes to wipe the walls down. Instantly not happy. We were on the second floor, right beside the stairs to the pool and beach. We decided to walk to the beach, come back and make the best of it. We get back to the room, and it smells of sewage. The bathroom lights and fan quit working, which the bathroom was 4 steps from the bed. There wasnt any overhead lights. You had to use two rusted out lamps. The balcony door was hard open, had to shoulder it. The pictures used are bait. I can tell you, our room DID NOT look like the photos listed. We ended up staying for 2 hours which gave me enough time to book another room. We did have to eat the cost of the first night. But this was a true learning experience. I will never stay or recommend this place to anyone. Outdated is one thing, I can live with that. Cleanliness is where I draw the line. DO NOT STAY HERE!!! I wish I could remember the room number, but I was so disgusted by it, the lack of cleanliness and disappointment is all I can remember.”

I waited in my car for 20 mins but I’m in town on business and had to be at work in 45 so came inside to pick up because it was busy and I wanted to make their lives easier. Poor kid was too scared to walk around with my order and call out my name. Watched my food sit on the counter for 10 mins and then finally said something. Even saw the manager tell him to walk around and ask and he ignored her and walked away.

Regardless my food was hot and fresh even after sitting there so no complaints. Can’t wait to ask about franchise opportunities back in Oklahoma because the food was fire!”

We ordered the chicken & sausage gumbo, Philly cheesesteak & the chicken jalapeño ranch wrap. Our sides were onion rings & sweet potato fries, however we had a hard time making a selection because of the many great food options to choose from. All the food was delicious & Sarah was a top notch server who was friendly, prompt & efficient. Definitely recommend & will visit Shades again when back in the area.”

“AWESOME in every way! Lauren and Becca are super friendly and quick behind the bar. The food is delicious, and the cocktails mouthwatering. We return here every year during our week long vacation because they never fail us. Plenty of TV's for sports action , and a pool for a cool dip. HIGHLY RECOMMEND by my husband and I. NOTE: We tried the Barefoot Hideaway down the road, but left after being seated (inside, which was somewhat stale and smelly), and waiting for about 8 minutes without being acknowledged by a server. It was NOT busy at the time. DISAPPOINTED. Will not go to that location again. Go see Becca and Lauren. THEY ROCK!!!”

Highly recommend Farmers Market, best sandwich and always just as good every time I go. Mudd Puddle is my go to drink and it brings joy to my heart every sip I take. It’s a matcha tea with espresso and vanilla. 🤌🏼 While pregnant I’d go with decaf option to keep caffeine low but my goodness it’s just as good! Staff is wonderful every time I go! The baked goods are phenomenal. I can’t say enough good things about them. I’ve introduced this place to countless people and always love that it becomes a new staple staple as well.”
