I really enjoyed myself at this restaurant. It had a nice theme. The staff were so friendly and welcoming. The food was amazing!! We had the volcano nachos, and honestly, that's all we could have. The serving size was INSANE!! The pictures online DO NOT do it justice!!! I give this restaurant a 4.9 stars, ONLY because the Jamaican native in me was offended by one of the names of the dishes. What in God's name is a "Caribbean spiced roasted chicken"?????? WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN??!?!?!?!?!!!! There are so many different spices in all of the Caribbean!!! You can't just say something is "CARIBBEAN SPICED"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So I had to take a 0.1 point away. BUT other than that, it was a really great place to eat. I LOVE the music and the atmosphere. And the hosts and waiters were great! Definitely recommend going there!! And try the volcano nachos!!!!!

Went to go to the movies tonight and decided to get a drink and a bite to eat before going. Thought we would try out Margaritaville. We were going to sit at a table, but decided to sit up at the bar. Literally waited about 15 minutes for the bartender. While we waited, we literally watched her during those 15 minutes speaking to it look like someone who worked there, but was sitting at the bar. She finally come around and ask us what we wanted to drink. We ordered a drink, and that literally took another 5-10 minutes. Mind you the bar was not busy at all. Then I decided to just order one thing to start off because I was already not enjoying my time. I ordered the lava lava shrimp. It was more like salt salt, shrimp. Again, I literally waited another 15 minutes for someone to come back around so that I can tell them that I could not even bear to eat it because it was that salty. Of course, the bartender was still talking to the boy that was at the bar. There were other bartenders around and every time I went to say excuse me they walk right off. By time our actual bartender came to us she was like how is everything and of course in my mind I’m like “Well you could’ve asked that a while ago”. I told her that the shrimp was way salty and she was nice enough to take that off so that was the great thing. Because of the experience, I didn’t bother getting anything else. We ended up leaving and going and eating somewhere else. Do I recommend this place? No, unfortunately I do not maybe other people might have a better experience than I did. Besides the lack of customer service, the food that I did have was too much to even give this a recommendation.

We came in after the lunch rush around 3pm. We were told that some of the servers had hard out times so the wait would be around 35-45 minutes. After 15 minutes I got a text and we were seated. The server that was working came by and advised she was running behind but would do her best to help us. At the time we sat down there were four tables seated. The spinach dip was bland but prompt. My medium rare burger was closer to well done and the chili that was on it soaked the bottom of the bun. My son’s burger came out several minutes after the rest of the food on the table. We were told it was due to waiting for fries. I get that, but we were not given a warning. Just no food for my youngest as the rest of the table had food. We asked for red sauce and ranch to compliment the meal. Ranch can put with my son’s burger and the red sauce was forgotten. Beer was good and cold. Atmosphere was nice. Staff could use more experience. If this is the way it goes with a mostly empty restaurant I can only imagine how rough it would be at capacity.

This restaurant can easily be missed as it is toward the rear of the CityWalk backed by the parking structure. But don't let that stop you from seeking it out, it a gem! Clean, open environment with the familiar seaside resort theme associated with Margaritaville, ut has a merch shop at the restaurant. We showed up and were seated within 5 minutes. Our friendly waiter brought us drinks, made a few recommendations. We ordered the BBQ ribs and fried shrimp. Both cooked to perfection 🥰 The shrimp does not come with cocktail sauce but a delicious sauce that's not too spicy but will remind you of dynamite shrimp. The BBQ is served with fries and slaw, you will need a takeout box. We were there during the week and were told there was live entertainment on the adjacent stage on the weekends. We will be back!

This place is quaint, however, we spent a while waiting for our server to notice we were here. Afterwards, they apologized for the long wait as they were a bit short-staffed. The food was decent and the burger I had waa flavorful. When I asked for the flight, the server made it seem like one of the flavors (I forgot which one) is one of the ones that the bartenders don't like to make as often since it is flight portioned. I didn't have a chance to take a picture of the Cubano, which I was told was also flavorful, better than at most places my friend has been to. The other burger my other friend had with criss-cut sweet potatoes looked decent as well. (Cheeseburger in Paradise - hold the cheese) I would return as the overall service was decent and the server was attentive after all.
