Not sure how anyone can give this place less than 5 stars. The steak was to die for, the chocolate cake and donut were amazing. I don’t even like seafood and the shrimp tasted awesome! If I could give it more stars, I would! The workers are super friendly and the chef made the experience very excellent.
Beautiful view and great food.
Great service and food, pretty sunset view. The building itself is old and in much need of updating.

The Bonito Boathouse Restaurant is located on the water next to a marina, offering a bar and dining room with a view. The menu has recently changed, featuring pricey and unusual dishes that do not quite match the relaxed, resort atmosphere. The bar is small and noisy, but the service and drinks are excellent. The fried shrimp, made with locally sourced fresh shrimp, is a standout. Visitors enjoy the great view in the bar area, which can be quiet with dim lighting, and the service is attentive. Recent reviews highlight a friendly and fast waitress, with some guests mentioning that the food was surprisingly good despite earlier negative feedback. The restaurant can sometimes experience slow service and missing food items, and prices are a bit high, typical for a resort setting. Visitors needing a Fripp Island amenity card will find the staff, including helpful servers, make the experience pleasant. Overall, the restaurant remains a popular choice for those on the island, especially for its location and view.
