Thirsty Marlin

Had a great meal tonight. 1st time here, and it was worth coming. The service was the best part of the experience. Cappy i think her name was, gave us so much info and suggestions that it made the meal fun. We would come back and try other dishes. The manager was great also.

Fun bar. Food is good. It did take forever to get a server and I know the server saw us. We sat there as several waitstaff passed but no one stopped by to ask if we had been served. But it was probably busy night. The band was really great and it was a little cold. They have indoor and outdoor bar. Nicely decorated. Check it out.

Stopped in here for a late lunch/early dinner. 10 stars if I could with friendliness and quality of the food. It’s a casual Florida kind of place with loads of old mementos bedecking the walls’ every inch. Rich history. I ordered the jambalaya and it was the best I’ve ever eaten. Key West shrimp, andouille, jerk chicken, yellow rice, and allll the flavor! Included a fresh huge side salad. Beloved ordered wings and veg. Also delicious. Highly recommend! About $55 for two of us. But enough left over for at least another meal. The staff were extra attentive with our pup and that’s always appreciated when it’s so genuine.

A few members of our group wanted the all you can eat crab legs. Sign has it advertised for $55 actual price is $65. Whatever. The issue was that we actually paid the $65 and they brought out 4 claws for the first plate and we had to wait 15-25 minutes for every refill plate after that which came with 2 claws a person. Dinner turned into an evening there. Eating so slow and waiting kept us hungry and hard to get full until we just wanted to leave. Definitely do not recommend getting that special. We tried to ask our server about that as we feared that would be the issue but she cut us off rudely and assured us she would have us taken care of. Our server was Sherry, she wasn’t awful as she got us what we needed but definitely far from friendly service. We weren’t really sure how to read her facial gestures. Nothing really had us wanting to come back here. Also, 3% is tacked on to your bill without knowing. After asking 2 employees whom had no idea what it was, the manager came out and explained it was a surcharge that was applied to the restaurant from their trucking deliveries that they then apply to the customers which is fine but should definitely be disclosed to the customer before hand. Customers don’t ever want to random unexpected charges on their bill.

Came here on a Saturday for dinner and we were seated right away. We chose to sit inside because of the heat. They had live music outside. Definitely has the charming old-time Florida flair. Portions are large, and you won’t be leaving hungry. The chicken was tasty and juicy but a tad bit too sweet for me. It came with two sides. There was an extra charge for the side salad but it was also much bigger than I expected. Overall great food and service!
