Water's Edge Cafe — Restaurant in Florida

This is our second visit to Jetty Park, following our first visit we noticed this cafe and made a mental note to eat here next time we came.

Our waitress was pretty friendly, but the whole place seemed to dislike rocket launch days in general. They keep one door locked so that customers don't cut through their store, which I understand, but even after asking if it's okay if we come in to eat, no one really seemed to appreciate customers. We were told (grumbly) that the restaurant is small and might not have room for us..

We got over there and half of the tables were empty. So, there's plenty of room. However, it seemed that folks that came in quite a while after us got serviced and food before us, even though our meals looked almost identical. I'm not sure why, but we sat there for a good 35+ minutes before we got our order, and the place was not packed by any means. We watched a couple almost completely eat their meal by the time we got ours, when they sat down about ten minutes after us.

Once we finally got our food I was starving, but the quality of the cheeseburger ($13) left me unable to finish more than half of it. It just wasn't worth the hassle or even price of coming in to eat here.

Even as a customer, you can't use the restrooms (maybe this is just on rocket launch days), I don't know. I'd come in to buy a cold drink and maybe an ice cream bar from the bait and tackle portion of this store and...

Disappointing. We were acknowledged when we arrived and were told to sit anywhere. We sat and waited and waited as the waitress passed us several times saying "I'll be right there". 15 minutes later she took our drink order, we said we were ready to order(we had looked at the online menu from their website while waiting), but she said she didn't want us to wait any longer for drinks. 5 minutes later, the other waitress brought menus and grumbled they had a reduced menu because of "this silly covid thing", 15 minutes after that, we still didn't get our drinks or order taken. We left after 35 minutes of nothing, meanwhile watching the 5 tables who came in after us get served their drinks and food orders taken. We are very understanding of the fact that restaurants are finding their new normal during the pandemic, but this was a very clear case of being ignored and seemingly sacrificed in order to maintain the other tables. By the end of our "experience" both servers were dodging any kind of eye contact and did not once acknowledge...

The service was weird. I called for a takeout order, the person was extremely short with me, like I was inconveniencing them by calling. They set the phone down, to apparently continue some personal conversation with a coworker - very loudly so I could clearly hear both sides while I waited - and then they hung up on me without saying anything else. I called back & was given some excuse, but my order was taken.

The burger was the least flavourful thing I've ever eaten. It was so incredibly bland. The beef looked like it had been microwaved. The fries looked much better, nice golden brown on the outside, but we're equally without flavour. They had also been cooked strangely. They were crispy on the outside, but mushy on the inside.

It was one of the most disappointing meals I've eaten. There was nothing really wrong with it, but there wasn't anything right either. Just disappointingly...
