We went to the Josh Meloy concert here and it was fantastic. The staff was very friendly/helpful and the venue was clean and comfortable. We didn’t eat here, but the food we noticed being served looks delicious. The prices were fair and the selection was decent.

Love the vibe of this place. The food is good especially if you like everything fried. Great place to go to enjoy some live music outside, have a drink, and grab some bar grub.

KJ is an absolute doll, she was polite, quick, and helpful and so friendly, she needs a raise!!! I haven’t been here and years and it was still so welcoming and the same feel it’s always had!

Great place to watch a show, love small venues! Josh Meloy was tremendous! Very nostalgic, which to me is a huge plus. The food and menu are not good, go get a great meal then go to Skippers and watch an awesome band at a timeless venue ???

Came here to try the gator, did not disappoint. Service was quick and friendly, atmosphere was what you would expect and I enjoyed it. If I'm ever back down in the area, I'll try to stop by to enjoy some live music and some more gator.

Very warm and welcoming place, amazing atmosphere and staff is really nice. It has that local pub/shack/diner roadstop vibe that you may like.Avoid if you’re looking for a fine dining experience, this is not it.Do go if you’re looking for authenticity and an eclectic experience !There are even cats in the courtyard outside, so definitely a place for cat lovers (avoid if you don’t like animals hehe).I wanted to try two iconic foods from the place: fried gator tail and fried green tomatoes.I also had a Caesar salad topped with blacked fish. Everything was really good.The salad had a bit too much dressing for my taste, but that might be because I’m not used to American cuisine.My main regret was that the plates, utensils and glasses were all single-use plastics or cardboard, I wish they had metal utensils and reusable tableware.Nevertheless, would recommend to anyone looking for iconic Floridian dishes and great ambiance!
