I have had the two best meals of my 5 day stay here at Tortugas! They are consistently the best! I ordered a similar meal at another restaurant two days ago, and it was gross compared to the exceptional quality of Tortuga’s!

Great little find

Great service from a young man with sandy blonde hair, did not catch his name but best service we have received in a long time. That was greatly appreciated

Food was great and came quickly with two exceptions, hushpuppies were a bit overdone and there was too much horseradish in the cocktail sauce making it extremely hot, we added more ketchup to bring down that flavor.

definitely will go again

What a delightful surprise! The shrimp & spicy grit cake was the most unusual blend of flavors my tongue has ever experienced! Everyone in our party of 4 agreed it was an outstanding dish. The key lime pie had a unique lime sauce drizzled on the whipped cream. The wedge salad was enough for three guests. Two thumbs up, 5 STARS. I will definitely go back on my next beach trip. Kudos to the chef.
