Went back for the third time. I love this place. Great service, low key, delish food. I highly recommend the po' boys OR the smoked fish dip. Both were amazing and well priced.

Amazing atmosphere and amazing staff. Everyone was very friendly and made me feel as if I was home which is a big deal bc I'm a single woman traveling alone (fit business). I truly enjoyed myself. Oysters were to die for but you have to shuck them yourself and steamed shrimp were good as well. Fresh corn on the cobb... More

The service was awesome and the atmosphere quite fun. Didn't eat, just visited, but it was a great place for that! :)

Went here twice. Very good burger, very friendly service a short walk from the beach (1-2 blocks). Like everything around here, I thought the prices were pretty reasonable for a vacation spot (but I live in Boston, so...).

Stopped by for dinner and the place was jumping. Given a table right next to the singer so conversation was difficult. Service was so-so and the food matched up; bar very busy and we probably hit on the wrong night. Would maybe try the place again but wouldn't rush back.

We found this was a treasure. It was an easy walk from our hotel. Sat at the bar and loved watching the beer bottles coming crashing down across the bar to the barrel at the end. Fun place to be. There was entertainment daily.

This place was good fun. I wouldn't necessarily write home about it from a "culinary" point of view but the food was good. The atmosphere was great fun and it just sort of exuded a vacation/party sort of vibe. I would definitely go back and eat/hang out there again.

Each time I go to Fort Myers Beach I stop, most late afternoons, and have the coconut shrimp UNLESS they have the Mesquite Trio (shrimp, grouper, scallops) as their special. That was their special last Saturday and as usual, it was fantastic. Again, the cook made everything to perfection. The seafood, red potatoes, and broccoli were cooked just right which... More

It was very busy the night we stopped by. The employee cleaing off our table was not happy. Ended up sending the guys to the bar for our drinks. Decided not to order food but to come back later in the week. Unfortunately, we never made it back.
