"This restaurant was recommended by some people we met on a manatee tour. Fortunately, we were able to park nearby and didn’t have to wait long to share a larger table with another small group. We enjoyed a nice view over the water. The portions were generous, and my dish was loaded with shrimp! Just a heads up: they only accept cash, but there’s an ATM in the lobby. My only regret was ordering two icy drinks instead of one because after our rough experience at Charlie’s, we didn't have enough cash to give our wonderful waitress the tip she truly deserved. When I explained the situation to her, she was incredibly sweet and understanding. Overall, it was definitely worth the effort to get the cash and wait to eat here!"

I had a fantastic dinner this evening. The Marker 48 Red Ale was excellent, and the smoked mullet dip was truly outstanding. The crab cakes and grilled red shrimp were both delicious as well. Our server, Jessica, was wonderful! We will definitely be returning.

Usually the food is fantastic here. Royal Red shrimp are tricky to cook and that was stated to us when we purchased them at the market there. When ordering them, I asked that they not be overcooked and lightly seasoned. To me they were over seasoned and overcooked ,so I asked just to be charged for salad. The owner said they were cooked fine and I would be charged half though I did not eat more than two. I do not feel that is a good way to run a business View menu

Let's start with the positives: The server was very attentive, the food arrived quickly, and everything was served hot. Despite being busy, the restaurant managed their processes well. On the downside, the shrimp in the trio were fried a bit too long, making them somewhat tough—not inedible, so I didn't raise the issue with the restaurant. The cheese grits could have used a significant boost in salt, and the portion sizes felt a bit small for the prices. Overall, the food I sampled from my family’s dishes and my own was average in flavor and seasoning; I had hoped for a bit more. Additionally, they only accept cash (which is clearly indicated), so while I’m not really complaining, I would pr...
