Yummy food, the conch fritters were unfortunately overcooked and burnt, calamari was very good and seasoned perfect.
The chicken with the pasta I got was sooo tender and juicy not overcooked at all.

I’m assuming the conch was a little mistake since the food quality was very good! Will be back to try oysters when they are in season :)

(Also the live music was good but way to loud inside I had to yell at the people sitting next to me lol)

My only complaint is a common one in South Florida...the salt would not come out of the Shaker! It had the rice kernals,but humidity won again!

Patrons and employees are thefts at this restaurant. been coming here for years and the employees will not admit that 700 coach sunglasses were stolen. I was having lunch with family left my sunglasses by accident when I returned not 5 mins later the sunglasses magically disappeared and the employees have no idea what happened to them! I will never be returning to this restaurant again!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Phuzzy’s Boat Shack on Pine Island is great place and setting for boat lovers or boaters—a laid‑back waterfront deck perfect for soaking in the canal views while enjoying live music and fresh Gulf fare. They have some limited boat docking capacity ... . Their shrimp tacos and grouper platter deliver solid flavor, and their rum drinks and craft beers complement the scene beautifully. The vibe is relaxed and welcoming, with attentive, gracious staff and OK prices that make each visit feel like a mini‑getaway. Whether you’re after a casual lunch or an evening with music and a cold one, Phuzzy’s always delivers that effortless Florida charm. (Great place for sunsets!)

I arrived at fuzzies at 9:30 PM, they close at 10 PM. The bartender Lindsay said that it was still a full menu. I ordered an appetizer I worked in the restaurant industry when I was younger, so I understand when it gets close to closing time so I made it easy on them. The appetizer is fish bites. Their menu charges $18 for these grouper bites. That is the amount of bites I have as you can see there is one in the picture. I took a small bite out of but that’s what they gave me for $18. Very sad I live on eighth Avenue which I can walk to this restaurant because I’m a local and this is how they treat a local. This is the saddest amount of fish bites I ever had in an appetizer for $18. I get more in an appetizer if I go to the lighthouse bar and Grill on my way to Sanibel. This is just sad for a restaurant on this island. There’s not much to do on Pine Island there’s not many restaurants on Pine Island. You think they would cater a little bit better on the amount of this appetizer. These are the grouper fish bites, my friends. This is sad. Very very sad. Amount of fish bites for $18. This is why I leave the island usually when I wanna eat something cause every restaurant on this island shows that the owners are very greedy and don’t wanna give you the amount of food that should be on a plate for what you’re paying for. I usually get the king crab legs. I stopped going there for the king crab legs because I’ve been eating king crab legs for years at restaurants and they rip you off with the weight. This is absolutely sad. I hope this gets to somebody higher up at Fuzzy’s Boat Shack and they correct this issue. I can leave the Island pay the same amount of money and have better quantity and quality. This is the reason I stopped going to fuzzy’s as a local because it is crap. When I leave the island and go to Cape Coral or Fort Myers it’s more consistent. What they give during snowbird season they give during non-snow bird season to the locals. This place I do not recommend that you waste your money on food at this place. Now if I deserve this for $18 cause they were closing in a half hour I even asked the bartender if it was too late to order food I was trying to be kind, considerate, and all that to the kitchen, but this is the crap I got. This is the grouper bites an appetizer for $18. This island is so greedy in their restaurants for the prices they charge for food and trust me, my friends these are just cooks no chefs. And this is the crap they give you for a high dollar price. Don’t go here stay off Pine Island go eat somewhere else eat Cape Coral eat Fort Myers eat Sanibel do not waste your money on food in Pine Island in Saint James city. All they had to do was be honest and tell me for $18. You’re only gonna get a very small amount. You’re better off at Tarpon Lodge located in Bokeelia the north side of the center on Pine Island.

What a great place. We came in from the water after spending the early part of Sunday boating. There are close slips for Phuzzy's available to dock your boat which was super convenient.
Mike gave us great service for the 6 of us and checked on us often and took care of our requests quickly.
The food came out fast and hot. The fries were a big hit everyone was really impressed.
Everyone had something unique and enjoyed their food.
We will be back driving next time!
