Sun Deck at Siesta Beach — Restaurant in Siesta Key

If it were possible my rating would be a 4.5 but a 5 is still fair in my book. My husband and I were visiting and stopped at siesta key. We needed lunch and decided to g. rab it at the Sun Deck. I read a few concerning reviews but we didn’t have many other options (as convenient) so we decided to give it a try. To start, I’ll name the pros- there were a few people in front of us but 2 ladies working the order/checkout so the line went quickly, and both ladies taking orders were so friendly and efficient. We ordered 2 chicken tender baskets, fries were included ($10 each). We shared a small coke ($3.00, large was $4.00). With tip etc. our total was $29 and some change. We didn’t wait very long for our food at all and both the chicken tenders and the fries were very high quality, tasty, and was nice and hot. My ONLY “complaint” is that it was just a bit pricey for a snack stand, but I realize we’re at a vacation destination and that tends to be the case at any other places. It just stung a little to spend $30 on lunch for 2! I’ll also add the view from the picnic tables up there are gorgeous and depending on where you are sitting, you can possibly see your chairs/umbrella/belongings! When we go back to siesta key, we will probably eat there again if the situation calls for it.

Note: there were 2 other chicken tenders maybe even 3, so the portions were...

Horrible customer service, overpriced and mediocre food. Before I placed my order, the customer before me asked for the ranch to be placed on the side and the staff obliged. When I asked the older man taking my order for the same, the lady at the register abruptly and rudely said "we're not doing that anymore." The older man then asked me "do you want it or not"? If it weren't for the fact that my little ones were hungry I would have walked away. The Mahi Mahi was average tasting. The veggie bowl was literally filled only a quarter of the way and the white rice was hard and undercooked. To top it off, my wife went back to confirm the name of the place and actually heard the same old man happily accept another's customer's request to have the ranch on the side . The lady at the register didn't say a peep. Smh..I will happily spend my money elsewhere when...

Ask for your receipt up front! We were overcharged and a tip was automaticllay added, my husband tipped on top of that not knowing a tip was automatically charged! He asked for a receipt right away and the girl had already thown it away, wonder why?? What should have been a $50+ meal was $72. My shrimp tacos were good but served with dry tortilla chips (no dipping sauce) and my husband had the lobster roll which had no taste! Service was relatively quick. I feel if you place your order at the counter and pick up your food at the counter, a tip should be optional, not sure how you are servicing me when there is no table service. Frozen drinks were good and it is in a...
