Not bad food but I paid $12 for six tiny little wings.

The food was great but my drinks weren't mixed correctly and sour. It was the weekend of the two man reggae act played.

The bar needs more waitresses.

Took outdoor table with our dog. Waiters brought him a big bowl of water, petted him, and spoiled him while we had dinner. Had a great evening. Food was great.

This place was great! I wanted to try calamari, but couldn't do it if it looked like the whole animal, and bless our waiter offered to pick out the pieces that looked like the whole animal before he would serve it. I told him no, absolutely not, I wouldn't make him do that, but what a sweet person! I got a burger and it was delicious! The whole experience was great!

Good place to meet friends and have a couple beers and eat. Music is a bit loud if you're planning on talking to your friends.

The place appeared to be short staffed, and it took a long time to get waited on. Drinks arrived quite quickly but we weren't able to order for about 20 minutes. When the food arrived, a member of my party was served a cheeseburger instead of the smash burger he ordered. He knew it would be a long, long wait to send it back, so he scraped the cheese off and ate it. We were never checked on to complain. The bill arrived with a $1 add on for the cheese. That's not acceptable.
The decor is cute though. We love pelicans.

Very fun spot. Grouper sandwich was cooked perfectly with a nice crisp bite and is huge. Nachos are fun. Give them a try if you haven't!!!

As soon as you step in, it feels like you've arrived in a beach restaurant in Florida. I can't wait for warmer weather when we can sit outside and enjoy the patio. The burgers were fantastic! Super juicy, flavorful--all the good things! The breaded mushrooms were also really good. Service was on-point and prices were fair. Highly recommend!

I visit family in fort waterdale a lot and was super excited to try this Florida themed restaurant. I had the grouper blackened sandwich and fried mushrooms. Both were excellent. And since it was friday I had a margarita and that was also good! They have an authentic florida themed patio , but it was too cold on the day I went to sit outside. Will definitely be back!

Our food was good, yet cold by the time the bartender Tara got it packaged to go, which my husband had wanted. She came across as if it was his mistake, and even so, not trying to make the situation better. She came across entitled and we'll be hesitant to come in for lunch moving forward. This place has potential, but cleanliness is not priority nor customer service.
