As we drove up we knew we were in for a treat by it's charming roadside character and appeal. We were greeted with smiles even though the kitchen was closed and turning from breakfast to lunch. I was disappointed they did not have the gator for their advertised lunch special, but the burrito I got was very well prepared and tasteful. From the initial cupcake to the final entree I was satisfied and service was always quick and prompt. Highly recommended, but be warned their menu is huge and their descriptions oversell what you will actually get in terms of flavor... Their portions are huge enough for sharing.

We went to this place because of all the good reviews we saw it had and we were not disappointed. The line was a bit long and we had to wait for about half an hour before getting a table (but not as long as the guy they have seated at the entrance :)). The food was great - their portions were huge and tasty at the same time. I really liked the milk drinks on the menu too. I ordered the blacked fish taco and didn't expect it to be the size of a quesadilla with 2 fish fillet inside. I also ordered a shrimp taco but I was so full that I just took it to go. Next time I visit Sanibel island I will eat here again.

Our waiter was great, if you eat inside the music was good, but place is small and loud. My husband ordered the shrimp and grits, he said it was good. I ordered what I thought was a ruban sandwich, which turned out to be a corned beef with nothing on it including any type of dressing (nothing to write home about. The key lime pie was grainy and super sweet, not a recommendation. What we would recommend was the hush puppies. If you are into hush puppies, you have to try these. They had actual corn mixed in with the corn meal and herbs. They were the best part of the meal. Dinner for two with a beer was $42.

Cheap beer, good food and great service! Entree prices are a little on the high side but the portions and food quality help make up for it. It has a nice island shack vibe but unfortunately there is not much a view in the outdoor seating area. There was live music while I was there that was excellent and I appreciated that it wasn't overwhelmingly loud since we were sitting right in front of it. My wife and I went for lunch and were pleased with what we ordered. She had the raw oysters and a Ceasars salad and I had the fried chicken sandwich that was a special at the time. I would like to go back and try the breakfast some time soon since that's what we intend to go there for but...

Wow! Let’s just say this was a step up from yesterday! Me and the hubby decided to go out for a dinner date tonight. And when I say I am so impressed, I mean it. We started off with some muffins. I loved how the pillowy inside contrasted the crusty crust. Right after the tasty muffins we decide to get some banana daiquiris YUMMY. Then we got some chicken tenders (because we were feeling adventurous). The fries were perfectly cooked, and the chicken was perfectly bland. To end the date off we had a little bit of ice cream, the only complaint I had was that the chocolate sauce was a little bit to spicy for me. 10/10...

Love their food! Only issue is the first night we went there, they said it would be a 30-45 min wait, ended up being 1hr 10min wait. But once we were seated the wait staff was very nice and the food came out quickly. Next time we ordered take out which was right on time. Third time we were seated right on time so over all very good. They have an amazing menu with all sorts of good food. Very large portions (take home for lunch!). We had the fajitas which were quite good. I also had the bacon wrapped shrimp which was very good and my 12 year old had a burger and the next time chicken tenders. ...
