Restaurant
Gatorz Bar and Grill is a popular sports bar in Port Charlotte, Florida, known for its delicious wings and regional fare. Established in 1989, this lively roadhouse-style venue offers a vibrant atmosphere with a covered patio and has been a local hotspot for live music for many years. The menu features classic bar food favorites, and the establishment is also renowned for its friendly service.
After reading some negative reviews I was a bit hesitant dining here. Went on Thursday at 2:30. Skylar was our waitress. She was excellent. Food was great. Seat yourself. Outside very nice with breeze. Wife French Dip and I had Philly cheese steak. Both were excellent but didn't cone with fries. That only negative I have.

This was my first and definitely the last time here. My waitress was terrible. Took her 15 minutes to bring me a menu, then forever to get back after that. It wasn't busy. My food came out ice cold first time and semi warm a second time. The first time came with onions, and i asked without. The bun was way bigger than the piece of chicken, and it never came Cajun like I ordered. The water was amazing, nice and cold. The other waitress seemed to be on point.

Gatorz Bar & Grill Port Charlotte Stopped by here on a Sunday afternoon around 4 ish. We sat on the outside patio area. They had some good live music playing which we enjoyed. They also have a bar and plenty of tables out there. One thing to note they do allow smoking in this area. I have to mention I was pleasantly surprised at how good their food was. Our waitress Hannah was on the ball with taking our drink and food orders. I ordered a Beer and the Mushroom Bacon Swiss Burger with Coleslaw. My wife ordered the Grilled Blackened Fish, Fries and Coleslaw. My Beer was cold, and my Bacon Swiss Burger was the best Burger I had in this area in a long while. My wife’s Fish area amazing. It was done to perfection and the Blackened Seasoning took it to the next level. The Seasoned Fries were very good as was the Coleslaw. The only problem we had was Hannah forgot my coleslaw. She did offer to bring me one out but after eating my large Burger I was too full. I must give this place 4 out of 5 stars. ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Follow Me On FB For More Reviews & Fun Gulf Coast Terry

Stopped by here our first night in town. Saw that they offered wings. Great wings. Cooked perfectly and the right amount of seasoning. Our server was slammed, but she kept the drinks and food coming. We also ordered the loaded potato skins without jalapenos, but sent them back as they were loaded with jalapenos! Our server apologized for the mistake. We changed our order to just plain fries, which were good. We'll be back for wing night!

Fast friendly "experienced" service from Kathy, 27 years at the inside bar... for real! Excellent Friday Fish Special! I got mine with blackened Cajun seasoning. It literally melted in my mouth. Chef Brian came out with the meal... He really did an excellent job. Chef Brian has been working here for 17 years and you can taste it.

Great place. Really good food. I had the Philly steak sandwich (excellent) and the service was awesome. They were really packed but our server was never far away and we didn't wait ling for our food. Good food good music and attentive servers...what else could you want? Oh and their prices were more than fair. Surprisingly low considering whats been going on with the economy. Mr "fix it on day one" didn't!!!

Chubby'z 2 Grill & Tavern is a classic American grill and sports bar with large screens for watching games. It's a great spot for mouth-watering treats, specials, and entertainment, making it perfect for group gatherings. The restaurant offers delicious wings and seafood, fast service even during busy times, and an outdoor bar by the water. With its rustic old Florida charm, this place welcomes bikers and provides excellent food and service.
What a great little place. They had a black bean burger that my daughter enjoyed. The wings and regular burger were excellent. The food looked so good, I forgot to take pictures of it. Our waitress was also fantastic!

We asked to be seated outside so cannot comment on atmosphere, but the burgers were the best we have had since moving to FL 7 years ago, they will make them any way you like it, mine was with Swiss and mushrooms, but husband had bacon and the works, picture is of mine😉, Alexis was wonderful, paid enough attention without being intrusive. Only regret was I forgot my to-go container on the table. We will be back and already plan on bringing friends.

There were five tables occupied, we made number six, so this certainly was not during a rush. The two waitresses both looked at us as we waited for service. After waiting for 15 minutes, one came over and apologized because they thought the other was going to take care of us. We don’t mind waiting when the place is hopping, but not after you make eye contact when both are one table away. Point of reference- proof of no service is evident when there are no menus, silverware, or drinks on the table. The wings were grossly overcooked as the skin had peeled back on itself, the meat was dry and crunchy. We ordered a pitcher of beer, but we were advised to buy bottles instead because they were having issues with their draft beer. Our waitress was kind enough to put the game we were interested in on one of the three tvs on the closest wall. Unfortunately, the picture was fuzzy and distorted. We always loved their food and service for years. At one time, had the BEST wings. We were regulars up to three months ago when we walked out after 20 minutes of sitting at a table without service. We were hoping that a second chance would have proven that everyone has an off-day. That does not seem to be the case. Today proved that quality food, service, and environment have gone by the wayside.

Based on the reviews, I was surprised by the experience that we had. Drinks- Beer delivered was lukewarm at best waitress explained that the hoses run through the ceilings and there was nothing they could do. They replaced the beer with a bottled beer that was cold. Second and third beer we waited a good while for each one of them. Food: All you can eat fish fry was not very good and delivered with the wrong sides Flatbread pizza was really just like a small Totino’s pizza. Atmosphere Places extremely noisy because of the hard concrete floors and no sound deafening whatsoever Service Waitress explained to us that she was way too busy. That showed because she struggled to come back very often. Finally got another waitress to bring us a bill. We will not be back

Fantastic as always!! Our server was great, he was attentive and polite! He proactive brought my second drink for the BOGO happy hour!!! Can't beat the drink specials. Had a few delicious appetizers too.

Always go on Fridays due to all you can eat fish. My husband always gets. I love the seafood platter, which has shrimp, clams, fish, fries, and hushpuppies. My favorite. At this visit, they were out of shrimp but offered extra on anything this else, so I received extra clams. The meal is massive, I can never eat it all. The food is awesome, and the staff is very attentive and great. Prices are reasonable for what you get. Would recommend going. Bite of advice: If planning on going, go early, for dinner, they fill up fast during busy season, which is during the winter times. Parking is limited. May have to park across the street, short walk
Lisa R — Google review
My burger was undercooked and cold to the touch. The fries were also cold and lacked any flavor. My husband had fish and onion rings and said they were also cold but tasted okay. The service was extremely slow we waited at least 15 minutes before our server asked us for our drink order. The sewage smell in the restaurant was nauseating. I wanted to leave on the smell alone, but my husband wanted to give it a chance. The restaurant was visibly unclean. We will never return and definitely not recommend this restaurant.

Prime Serious Steak offers a unique dining experience with its open kitchen and special window that allows diners to watch the in-house butcher prepare the cuts. The menu features Chairmans Reserve steaks, aged for at least 28 days, as well as other classic steakhouse fare and signature appetizers. Diners can enjoy their meal inside or on the covered outdoor patio. The restaurant is known for its delicious popovers and top-notch service.
Outstanding Experience at Prime Serious Steak! From the moment we walked in, everything about our visit to Prime Serious Steak was exceptional. The atmosphere was inviting, the food was cooked to perfection, and the service was top-notch. A special shout-out to our server, Jacqueline, who truly elevated our dining experience. She was warm, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. She offered great recommendations and made sure everything was just right throughout the meal. It’s rare to find service that feels both professional and genuinely caring—Jacqueline nailed it. The steak was absolutely phenomenal—perfectly cooked, well-seasoned, and melt-in-your-mouth tender. Every course, from appetizers to dessert, was delicious and beautifully presented. We’ll definitely be returning, and we’ll be asking for Jacqueline again. Highly recommend Prime Serious Steak for anyone looking for a quality dining experience with first-class service!

I had a great experience here! I had a seasonal bourbon drink “Cozy Buffalo” which had bourbon, apple cider, lemon juice, autumn spice syrup, and a cinnamon stick - it was so good and great for the fall vibes. The popovers were incredible and the best I’ve ever had (especially loved them with the cinnamon butter). Then I had the double boned bacon wrapped pork chop with bourbon glaze. It was amazing, the bourbon glaze made it! My mom had the ribeye which she also loved. Our waiter was Jonathon and he was friendly and attentive. If I came back I would get the bacon wrapped pork chop again!

It was perfection. The experience, the food, the music...all came together for our anniversary dinner. Couldn't have been better. I had the prime ribeye and wife had the porkchop. Both were great and perfectly prepared. Calamari appetizer...perfect. The popovers...amazing. Salad,.prepared at the table, was excellent. Lava cake dessert, free for our anniversary, was outstanding as well. Great night!

What a great Sunday! 🔥Decided to try Prime Steakout House and it was a wonderful experience. The food was top-notch, truly fantastic. The place was impeccably clean, and while our server seemed a bit stretched, their effort didn't go unnoticed. We'll be back for sure.💸 The highlight? The popovers! 🥖🥐I'd never had one before, and they were absolutely delicious. An incredible surprise that perfectly complemented our meal. A golden cloud, light and warm, That conquered hunger’s mighty storm. A side dish new, a simple bread, Left tasty thoughts inside my head.😉 #PrimeSteakoutHouse #SundayLunch #Popovers #Foodie #DeliciousDining #RestaurantReview #WeWillBeBack #Steakhouse #Florida

Never disappointed friendly staff And a comfortable atmosphere. A Great selection from a variety of cuts of beef to chicken to pork and seafood. I love the table sides salad. Their Caesar dressing is awesome. Don't forget about the cocktails. They make a very tasty old fashioned And a wonderful wine selection . Tonight Peter was our server. I've been in this business a long time and I have to say it's rare that you find a great server like Peter. And I have to have a shout out to Brenda Montgomery, the general manager a lot of times. It's rare to find a manager to stop by your table. Thank you Brenda. You have a great staff working for you. We will be back

We've eaten here on 3 separate occasions now. The food is always very good, the staff is extremely friendly, and the bar drinks are on point. Their salad and signature popovers are included with every meal and are delish. If you're celebrating a special event, let your server know, and they'll bring you a customized dessert plate.

Prime Serious Steak 6-11-25 Wow I can sum up this place in one word amazing, amazing, amazing. Well, that’s 3 Words but it describes our experience we had there. We arrived on a Wednesday at 4pm when they opened to celebrate my wife’s birthday. There were a couple people waiting outside to get in. Once inside the place was neat and very clean. I loved the Wine wall and the Butcher Shop. Our waitress Felicia was on the ball with taking our drink orders and answering any question we had about the menu. She came back fast delivered our drinks and took our food order. I ordered the Blackened 12oz Prime Rib med well; Fully Loaded Baked Potato and the Salad comes with all entrees. My wife ordered the Surf & Turf, (6oz Filet & 6oz Maine Lobster Tail) Baked Sweet Potato with brown Sugar and Cinnamon Butter and a side of Asparagus, the Salad came with it. They asked how she wanted her Lobster cooked she asked them to Grill the Lobster and the Filet cooked medium. For an appetizer I ordered the Lobster Bisque for the both of us. Our Bisque got delivered first to us. This Bisque was the best I have had in this area. Next time I am not sharing it as I will order one for my wife and one for myself it’s just that good. Shortly afterwards Felicia delivered Popovers which is Puffy Bread to our table. I believe they had a cutting board on the table just for this bread. She also brough a cart to mix our Salad to our liking right at our table, what a nice touch. The Bread & Salad were fresh and very good. Our main food ordered came out at a reasonable time and looked amazing. My Prime Rib was done perfect, and the Loaded Baked Potato was just that. My wife’s Surf & Turf looked very good. Her Filet was done perfect, and the Grilled Lobster was gilled perfect and very tasty. Her Asparagus was not over cooked it was great. All our food as hot and so good. Felica kept checking on us and made sure our drinks were filled. My wife ordered a Pina Colada even that was good. The Manager even stopped by to make sure everything was ok. Felica brought out a Happy Birthday plate which had a little Cake and whipped Cream on it for my wife. I tell you even that was good. Very seldom a place hit on all cylinders, but this place pulled it off, they hit it out of the park. If I could give this place 6 stars I would. I give this place 5 out of 5 stars for the fantastic experience. WE WILL BE BACK! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Follow Me On FB For More Reviews & Fun. Gulf Coast Terry

I’ve dined at high-end steakhouses across the country, and my experience at Prime in Port Charlotte was, without question, the worst I’ve ever had — not because of the food alone, but because of the open hostility and unprofessionalism from the manager. My friend ordered a steak medium-rare. It arrived well-done, dry, and gray throughout — clearly overcooked. When he politely pointed this out and asked for it to be remade, the manager approached the table with immediate defensiveness and aggression. Instead of apologizing or offering a solution, he: • Argued that the steak was “perfect” and “exactly medium-rare” • Spoke in a condescending, demeaning tone, implying we didn’t know how to order steak • Raised his voice and refused to replace the dish without additional charge • Made sarcastic remarks like “Maybe you should go somewhere else next time” This wasn’t a miscommunication — it was verbal abuse from someone in a leadership role. The rest of the table was stunned into silence. We paid full price for an inedible $50+ steak and left humiliated. To make matters worse: • The sides were lukewarm and under-seasoned • The “prime” cuts were chewy and lacked marbling • Prices are 30–40% higher than comparable steakhouses with zero justification in quality or service This isn’t about one bad night — it’s about a toxic culture starting at management. No customer should be berated for giving honest feedback. I will not return, and I strongly advise others to spend their money elsewhere (Ruth’s Chris, Capital Grille, or even local independents treat guests with respect). Corporate: Please investigate this manager’s behavior. His actions reflect directly on your brand.

Nestled in a convenient shopping center, Pioneers Pizza Port Charlotte is the go-to destination for those craving authentic NYC-style pizza and hearty dishes. Since 1987, this casual eatery has been delighting patrons with its thin-crust pizzas crafted from fresh ingredients and baked to perfection in a wood-fired oven. The menu also features calzones, wings, and signature salads complemented by a selection of beer and wine.
Update: Our party of 7 we're treated like royalty! This is an awesome place if you have picky eaters as their menu is extensive and their food is outstanding! You won't go wrong in choosing this place! Check them out! What a great place! We had a party of 9 without reservations and they treated us with great respect. They bent over backwards to accommodate our needs! It was simply fantastic! A great experience which etched itself in our minds. We will be back, no doubt, because when you're treated that will, you will forever remember it. To top it all off, the food was outstanding. Part of our party required gluten-free and they brought out some gluten-free pizzas that were delicious! It's impossible to heap too much praise on this place or the staff and the food. It was a trifecta of perfection! You simply need to experience this place. It's not possible to adequately describe how good they really are! Check them out!!

This place was pretty cool! I like the theme with all the different art on the wall and some really cool photos. I love the open concept of it, it's really inviting for families of any size. It also has a really cool bar with plenty of drink options. My favorite part about this place was all the different lunch combo deals. I feel like all of them are extremely cheap which makes for a great lunch option when bumming around town or a lunch break from work. It also sounds like it's a pretty cool place to check out some football games. The service was really good, they were right with us answering any questions we had and they were quick to check on us. The food was the only down side of this place. Sadly in my opinion my salad was the best part of the meal and I'm not big on salad. Maybe I need to try some of the other pizza but it was mid. Maybe I just picked the wrong. I will definitely come back just for the great deals but hopefully the pizza is better next time.

They have decent pizza, a nice area with a stage and sometimes live music out back. Their XL pizza does feed 3-4, so it’s not a bad deal. Not the cheapest place, though, and I mean it. To prevent bad surprises with the bill: Watch what you’re ordering and how much everything (including drinks) costs because the Sunseeker with droves of loaded tourists from high target areas is right down the street in a walking distance. The ambiance inside is a bit cold and parking can be tricky.

This place has new owners since we were there last. The previous owner was great. Always came over and said hi and we would have great conversations. This time the food was great. The owner was at the bar and we asked our very wonderful server (Jeff) if we could speak to him. He said sure I will get him to come over. Jeff came back a few minutes later and said he would be right over. Well after about 20 minutes of waiting it was very apparent the new owner had any desire to talk to us. So we left. But thank you Jeff for your awesome service and friendliness!!

As a recent transplant "north" to Charlotte County I have been looking for a few places to love. This place is definitely one of my new favorites. As a native, I truly begrudge giving away good hidden gems but they deserve to have a religious following. The staff is amazing and our service with Samantha was outstanding. The kitchen was spot on, using fresh ingredients, well executed, to optimize recognizable pub favorites that was elevated by simply showing pride in what they were sending tableside. So Delicious and Kudos for not being over the top while still being top notch! We indulged in a classic supreme pizza that was like old school NY Italian, without the snobbery but came with all the finery. Accompanied by a generous basket of crispy fries that were just perfect for a casual rendezvous! The live music on the patio was the icing on the cake. The Outsiderz were terrific and played for the crowd, not just a repertoire of tired beats. They grooved to keep happy dancers on their feet song after song. The creative merrymakerz added to the cool outdoor vibe and casual atmosphere. We will definitely look for them around town! At last, much appreciation to GM Dave for enlightening us to the endeavors of his well run restaurant with the upcoming specials and what they are doing to make it truly special. We will be back for the Wednesday Wing Night for my bestie whilst I try each one of the items on the pasta menu! This is a totally unbiased opinion and unexpected from the establishment. Do yourself a favor, get out of your kitchen and let them take over for the night, you will not be disappointed 😋

I really like this place, and the food is great. I will say though, the pizza doesn’t taste like it did 10 years ago. Maybe something changed? The rest of the food is to die for, and the restaurant itself is super cool. Will edit and update as I keep trying new pizzas here. The last few were leaving me and my family a bit disappointed.

Red Lobster is a vibrant chain eatery that serves traditional American seafood in a New England-themed setting. It has been quite some time since my last visit, as I am not usually drawn to chain seafood establishments. However, during my recent dinner with my wife two weeks ago, we were pleasantly surprised by the outstanding service provided by our waiter, Chris. Not only did he exceed our expectations in terms of attentiveness and efficiency, but he also had a delightful personality.
OH.👏 MY.👏GOOD.👏NESS.👏 Why do we keep having the BEST dining experience’s EVER!? I don’t know but seriously this Red Lobster absolutely CRUSHED IT!!! Everywhere from the service, to the food, the the atmosphere! My wife and I couldn’t get enough of our dining experience! Our server, McKayla, was the BOMB! She made us feel welcomed and comfortable and like we were family! Amazing. Just, amazing.

Their menu is extensive and this restaurant is spotless. I love the diversity of the menu, even though it’s seafood based. There is a lot of Maine cuisine, TexMex, Caribbean. Lister galore, anyway you want it. Their drinks menu is also interesting and they have a mocktails menu. Of course I enjoyed their amazing complementary biscuits and mango ice tea, but kudos to the staff, especially Chase who keep checking up on me. I had the lunch special which was the grilled shrimp orzo bowl. It was yummy!

Food was great! Me and my husband both tried the seafood boils and both were amazing. We came in a little late because we had just got off the plane and server didn’t mind she was so kind and patient. I gave atmosphere a 4 star because it was so quiet you can hear everything going on in the back. A little music would have been nice. We came on Wednesday night around 9:30.

I haven't been to a Red Lobster for a while. I was really happy we decided to visit it today for lunch. We we pleasantly seated right away. Our waitress was Nichole C . She was so sweet and a great waitress. We decided to split a Mariners boil. We ordered it with Cajun butter and spicy. It was perfect! I loved the spicy seasoning. There was plenty for both of us . Nicole pointed out the daily specials and we will be back on a Wed for steak and lobster Wed. Great visit, great food.

The atmosphere is like a morgue, dark and very quiet, no background music at all. We made a reservation and still had to wait 15 minutes even though there were plenty of tables.

Tonight we had a wonderful server named Tegra. She was so nice and the food tasted fresh and well seasoned with all the fixins. We unfortunately were near a very loud and rude table who treated our server awful, even the manager went over and they even yelled at him to his face about the food they ate every bite of in front of everybody! It's a shame to see such things but he really is a saint for being so nice even after they treated him so bad! So happy to they so close and we will be going back soon for Tegra and the delicious food!

The attentive service adds to the charm, ensuring cleanliness throughout the venue. On weekends, you can soak up the lively ambiance enhanced by disco lights and great music—perfect for all ages!
Looked on google ,found the website, which has pricing and open bowling times before even calling to see about availability. Had a blast. Food and bar are reasonably priced, 3.75 for a bus bottle, 6 per person per game, under 20 bucks for some snacks. Another review stated they had to walk through the smoking area of the bar, you don't, there's another entrance at the north end of the building. Had interactions with the pro shop, bar, snack bar, front desk and the owner, and every single one was super enjoyable. If we're ever back in the area, we're definitely bringing our bowling equipment. Super clean super friendly, definitely recommend this place!

Good experience, but with room for improvement. We visited this bowling alley for the first time and, while we had a good time, there are definitely things that could be better. When you enter, you go through an area with several pool tables where the atmosphere felt a bit heavy, with a noticeable smell of cigarette smoke and, I’d say, marijuana too. Thankfully, once we got to the bowling area, the environment was much nicer and more family-friendly, with no smell. The service was okay—not great, just average. The guy who helped us did his job but didn’t go out of his way to explain how things worked, which would’ve been helpful since it was our first time there. Despite those details, I would still recommend the place for a fun time with friends. It’s not a “wow” experience, but it works if you’re looking for something local and entertaining.

I had one of the worst experiences I’ve ever had at an entertainment venue here. The facility was extremely DIRTY and poorly maintained — not at all what you’d expect when going out to enjoy yourself. The employees were unprofessional and unhelpful, which only made the situation worse. Most concerning was the owner, Robyn. In my experience, she was extremely DISRESPECTFUL and UNSTABLE in the way she handled guests. Instead of creating a welcoming environment, she made the environment uncomfortable. I would suggest replacing the owner. If you care about having a good time and supporting a business that values its customers, I strongly recommend you take your money elsewhere. Guests should not be treated with such disregard and disrespect by Robyn. Port Charlotte has other options that actually deserve your business — Treasure Lanes is not one of them.

Loved the experience, they are putting in a huge new space for an arcade right now, but it won't be long before it's open. I can't wait! Great family fun for all ages any day of the week! I met the owner while I was there and she is so nice and pleasant to talk to, very funny, great sense of humor and above all very kind. I plan on going back very soon.

We were so excited to come for the coming family special on Saturday from 4PM-6PM. We arrived at 4:10PM for our lane and paid $52 or so. As advertised on the website it says it is from 4Pm-6PM. No where does it say that it is only for an hour. So we played halfway through our second game for our lane to be shut off. We went to the front to explain to the front desk how it was advertised and we also were not told in arrival it was only for an hour. I understand it’s not the associates fault, but I believe management should’ve gotten involved and at least let us finish our game. Instead our 6 year old was left upset and we were left with a bad taste in our mouth.

Treasure Lanes is the place to be! We have been bringing our kids here for years! Other than just bringing our large family here to bowl, play games, and snack, we bring our young adult son with autism here for his birthday parties every year. The staff is always willing to help.

This place sux, you can never get in to bowl after school hours due to league's. Since when did league's take over. How is it fare to the ppl that want to go bowling and can't until 930pm. With kids. And the bowling lanes are done by string now. Not workers in the back. I use to love going here and now I don't. I miss the olden days when you could go any time. League's were from 5pm to 10pm. Fridays and Saturdays. No other days.

Portside Tavern is a beloved establishment, known for its warm and friendly atmosphere. The owners and staff are incredibly kind and hospitable, always making visitors feel welcome. Unlike some venues, the entertainment provided here is never overwhelming or overpowering; instead, it strikes the perfect balance. While it may not be categorized as a dive bar, it embodies the spirit of a local watering hole where friends gather to enjoy each other's company.
It is a smoking bar Outdoor patio is terrific. Service is always friendly and spot on Ice cold beer. Basic coke products. So, maybe the fryer went out? They took off all fried items Instead of fries, nachos w8th cheese are the side. French dip is good. Burger is tasty. Cost is awesome. Very "locals" place.

It’s a small bar that attracts local Biker groups. There’s music but not live band. It’s nice to pop in on Sundays because you can watch sports!!!

Little place that's been open since 1962. Service by Kaylyn was outstanding, beer was cold and food was excellent. How can you go wrong with 33 different kinds of hot dogs! Wings were plump and juicy, sides were on point. Prices are great on everything! Came back today 1-31-24, had the Texas Spicy Chili Dog and New England Dog and beers. Both were good, tots overcooked, NE dog was awesome. Had the West Virginia and Missouri Dogs on my third trip on 7-1-24, neither will be ordered again, not a favorite. Service still great as well as prices. Nice breeze on the deck, no smoke issue at all. Hidden local gem.

This is the second time we went here. The first time my wife ordered a rum and coke, she said it was watered down and couldn't taste the rum. So when a second bartender came by she ordered another one from her. My wife said it was a lot better. We went back again on Saturday night and she ordered another rum and coke, when she got it, she couldn't taste the rum. So she went up to the bar and let the bartender know. The bartender blamed it on the ice, and said it makes it watered down. How can a drink get watered down from the bar to her hand in less than 40 feet. If we do decide to go back she wil only order sodas.

Nice people & good venue. However, they were more concerned about the locals, and I felt "judged". I left after one drink, both times that I've gone. I don't mind that other people were there, but it wasn't busy, and a couple of people should have been cut off a long time ago.

Restaurant
Nestled within the Main Resort Tower, Half Cracked Tiki Shack offers a vibrant dining experience that beautifully blends Gulf Coast flavors with Caribbean island vibes. Guests can indulge in a delightful array of seafood dishes like bucket o' shrimp, steamed clams, and baked oysters, alongside hearty options such as burgers, ribs, and chicken. The lively bar scene features an enticing selection of beverages including jumbo fishbowl punches and signature tiki drinks that are perfect for sipping while soaking up the tropical atmosphere.
Seafood restaurant attached to the Sunseeker Resort that does a great job of preparing and presenting their dishes. However, it did take quite a while for our meal to be cooked and delivered. All the hot dishes seemed hot enough so it wasn’t as if they had been sitting a long time to be served, which led to the impression the chefs/cooks were slow. The server was great, but 4 stars for slow kitchen. We had crab claws, calamari fries, salmon and crab cake. Everything was tasty with nice tasting sauces to go along with everything! The only thing we did not care for was the slaw under the crab cake. We went for a second lunch before leaving Sunseeker. The service was much better. We had calamari fries, clam chowder, shrimp cocktail and split the grouper entree except for the clam chowder, the food was excellent again! Unexpectedly, there were 8 shrimp on the cocktail!

I had the pleasure of dining at Half Cracked twice during our stay at the Sunseeker, and both experiences were outstanding! Our first visit was for brunch, and I can't recommend the crabcake Benedict enough, it was simply amazing! Paired with refreshing mimosas, it made for a perfect start to our day. Flynn took excellent care of us! We returned later for drinks and appetizers, and the mojitos were exceptional, definitely some of the best I've ever had! I wish I could remember the bartenders name, but he did say he had previously worked at the Columbia. The atmosphere at Half Cracked is super cool, featuring live music that adds to the overall vibe. Plus, the gorgeous views of the harbor make it an ideal spot to unwind. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for great food and a lively ambiance! Can’t wait to come back!

I was super excited that the daily special was wahoo. Well, hands down, the worst filet of fish I ever got served. The waitress was so great and nice. I couldn't bring myself to tell her how bad it was. It was like cutting and tasting a magic eraser. The outside was so tough, and the inside was so dry you would need to give it an IV to moisten it up. For $36.00, it was definitely not worth it. Pic to follow.

The half cracked tiki shack is part of sunsetters resort. Within the resort there are lots of options to eat and we chose this one for the fish. I ordered the fish and chips. Two large deep fried fillets and fries with coleslaw. The fish were cooked well, fries were a little overdone but there were so many I probably only ate the largest ones. The coleslaw was quite bland to my taste. Most others at our table ordered Grouper and were delighted with their choice and my wife loved the coleslaw. They have live music, a two man band, playing inside but we ate outside to enjoy the Gulf and the sunset.

It’s not all it’s cracked up to be! We should have known by the empty tables when we arrived, but we decided to give them a try. Maddie served us and she was wonderful! I decided to get the $8 drink special with Bacardi Gold. Total disappointment! It was extremely sour. The worst was the Calamari “Fries” which were so greasy to the point the breading was falling off. I had the steak salad and unfortunately the steak was very chewy. My fiancé had the fish tacos with old bay fries. He said the fish was cold and under seasoned. The only thing we enjoyed was the fries! I hope they take these reviews and turn this place around for the better. This could have so much potential due to its location.

They totally suck at cooking pizzas. A couple days ago we tried them and they gave us an overpriced burned black pizza crust.

The tin can nachos were the best nachos that my mom and I have ever had anywhere. We were here vacation just the two of us since we don’t get much mother-daughter time now that I am also a mom. This place is made us feel special and it was a lot of fun to have a dinner out! Highly recommend and if I lived closer, I would make this my go to spot!

Large area serving upscale bar eats. There are lots of TVs. Food was really good and beer was nice and cold. Our waitress was very attentive. We will definitely be back.

Without a doubt the best dining experience I've ever had! The atmosphere is lively and energetic; The wait staff and service is phenomenally quick, courteous, and kind. And above all else, the salmon I ordered is the best salmon I've ever had in my life. It just melts in your mouth and all that flavor piles in layered with the amazing potatoes and veggies to boot! If you are in the area or have the opportunity, I HIGHLY recommend visiting this place and trying the Salmon!

Absolutely get the Giant pretzel if it fits the budget, it is really good. My wife and I try pretzels everywhere we go. We both agreed out of all the years, this was the best pretzel we’ve had. Crispy outside and soft inside, it was perfectly cooked. Nashville Chicken Sandwhich and the Open Face Steak Sandwhich were deeeelicious!! I got one of the drinks too and was pleasantly surprised. The combination of flavors had me wanting another!!

This was my first time being here as we are locals and I have been wanting to try it out. The server, Tiffany, was outstanding. She was super friendly and attentive. The food was great and look forward to coming back. Hopefully the same service and good quality will remain!

Giving overall a 5 to show support. Drinks were a 10/10 and they were definitely worth the money ($12 each). Place was super busy so the food did take awhile. Server Tiffany was super sweet. The food was a 6.5/10, a bit greasy for my liking and the season they use made everything taste the same. Everyone in the reviews complaining about the prices must not travel much, because they actually have very decent prices compared to other hotels and resorts around the state. Overall fun and an enjoyable experience. This was our third time dining here.

Shipwreck Pub is an excellent spot to unwind after a leisurely bike ride in the late afternoon, following a visit to Englewood Beach, or simply for an evening hangout. This establishment offers a fine assortment of refreshing beers and beverages at reasonable prices. The proprietors are amiable and attentive, ensuring a pleasant experience for patrons. It is worth mentioning that this venue provides great music, icy libations, and affable personnel.
Great place to stop after a bike ride in the afternoon, after Englewood Beach, or just to hang out in the evening. They have a good selection of cold beers and drinks. Affordable prices and great company, the owners are friendly and attentive. Can wholeheartedly recommend.

Hands Down the Best Neighborhood Spot: Neighbor’s Beer and Wine If you want a place that feels like home with a heartbeat of genuine warmth, look no further than Neighbor’s Beer and Wine. From the moment I walked in on Derby Day, the energy was electric — hats, laughter, and a crowd that truly knows how to celebrate community. The owners, Bill and Natalie, are nothing short of spectacular. They don’t just run a bar; they cultivate a neighborhood sanctuary where everyone feels welcome, appreciated, and part of something real. Their friendliness and personal touch shine through in every corner of the place — from Cheryl’s attentive bartending to Heidi’s legendary hot dogs outside, this team knows how to make an impression. Under their stewardship, the space has transformed into a brighter, more inviting hub, balancing tradition with fresh new energy. The non-smoking policy inside makes it comfortable for everyone, while the outdoor seating ensures no one’s left out. Whether it’s watching football, throwing darts, or rocking the Kentucky Derby hats, this is where memories are made. If you haven’t been yet, you’re missing out on one of Englewood’s best-kept secrets. This isn’t just a bar; it’s a community experience crafted with heart. You’ll leave feeling like family — and believe me, you’ll be coming back for more. I can't wait to go back
