Blue Parrot Ocean Front Cafe

Brilliant spot! From being seated with our pups to having water served up for them and a great waitress. We loved the 2 fried oysters baskets and enjoyed their delicate flavor. We say they were the best fried oysters/hushpuppies we ever had!

Kid-friendliness: Very pup friendly! They are "our kids"

It's the perfect place to spend your evening with your family and friends and enjoy the piping hot jalapeno poppers with Mango daiquiri while admiring the beautiful ocean! The service is prompt and the food and drinks are great! We have tried their Jalapeno poppers, chicken wings and onion rings and they were amazing.

Worst fried shrimp ever with no flavor. Could not have been fresh as advertised. French fries cooked in old oil. Service was excellent. I do not recommend and will never return.

Okay...reviews look great. Maybe I just went on an off night. We were really looking forward to eating at the Blue Parrot. I think maybe my expectations were too high. I ordered a combination seafood platter of blackened tuna and blackened sea scallops. My husband got the blackened Mahi Mahi. My scallops were about the size of a quarter which was surprising because I thought sea scallops would be a bit larger. Sea scallops are my favorite seafood so I have had a lot of them from all over the country and can't think of a single time that they were this small and had a light fishy taste. The first bite was rubbery and I actually spit it out into my napkin. I decided to try one more and it was better but I gave them to my hubby which I had never done before. The tuna was good, tender and tasty. My hubby's Mahi Mahi was good but nothing special. The atmosphere is non-existent except it is on the ocean which saves it from being downright drab...again, just my point of view. Plastic tables and chairs just don't do it for me. The indoor dining area was quite dreary. In summary, the food we had was way overpriced and nothing special. The service and staff were great, however. Try it for yourself, don't just take my word for it. My opinion is definitely in the minority so maybe it's just me.

Best place to eat in SGI! Can’t beat the grouper and mahi, especially on the Rueben. Make sure to get a Rum Runner and tempt your fate with a Sand Blaster!

Never like leaving a poor review, but.... Gumbo was bright red and tasted like bad fish stew. Everything else was not good. I've been on the road for 12 days and this was the most disappointing so far. The waitress was Amazing (though I only said positive things to her) and sure it's a great view, but the food is inexcusable Go elsewhere.

Great food and great location. Right on the beach. You can sit inside or outside, and there's covered outside seating.
