“ Really good experience with an awesome atmosphere, you definitely feel like your on island time when your here. Food was good the island wrap with burnt ends is a must. The Boca Chicken sandwich was good and really messy make sure you have extra napkins on deck. The environment is key here it really takes you to another place. We sat up top and started in the shade and migrated towards a sunny table after a few minutes. The view is great with a lot of boats comin and goin was fun to read the different names on them while we chilled. They had a band playing that was top notch also. ”
“ Fun! The food was actually great, fast even when busy. Super cool vibe and atmosphere and the golf cart ride is another fun, different experience. You certainly cannot tell how cool it is from the road so give it a try. ”
“ Back in the Keys for us. We had the Cuban sandwich and chicken quessadilla. Both were good. Band playing - decent. We drove today. They have transport golf carts to get you from parking lot to the restaurant. Next time we'll come on our boat. ”
“ Our food was okay but your chip-salsa was a no, the chips were stale. The plus side was our waitress Lily she did a great job, and the band was perfect ”
“ Fun & lively place! Lots of food options as you watch a constant flow of boats going by. Great bay view also where you can see miles of activity. Good prices on food and many specialty vacation style cocktails (check out the beer buckets - good deal!) Much more seating (in the shade) on lower portion of outdoor restaurant with live bands performing. We like to come by boat - many boat wells for all sizes and a golf cart shuttle if you dock a distance away along their seawall. Side note - Island Grill is supplied by local Mexican restaurant with their awesome fresh made "chips and salsa" that I can drink by the glass it's so good! Recently had grilled chicken with bacon, grilled pineapple, cheese and bacon. Yum! My husband had the same thing but on a burger. Both were really good and the burger was cooked medium as requested! Was a busy night, and our service was excellent. ”
“ Customer service was great! The food was satisfying. I had the. Blackened salmon and hubby had the burnt ends wrap. They had live music playing. The only thing for me was the fish flies but they weren't as bad as expected being off the water. ”
“ A real good experience on the top deck bar, enjoying the lake & boats views celebrating my sons birthday with cocktails & a little food. The burnt ends wrap was excellent.
