No matter what anyone else says, the food was wonderful. The oysters we cooked perfectly and the shrimp was great. Also the service was excellent. This place is out the way but we'll worth the time and effort.

Good Fried Seafood Platter with oysters, clam strips, fish and shrimp w/fries. Steamed Gulf Shrimp was plentiful and big. Atmosphere and ambiance was wild, literally! Elk, Gazelle, Black Bear, and various fish were mounted on the walls along with pictures of famous folks. Kind of pricey, the above 2 meals with a beer and coke was $60.00 with tip. But hey, it's vacation! Enjoyable restaurant!

Awesome mom and pop style Restaurant with great separate bar in same building. Unique icons on the wall and nick nacks all over. Has a long narrow from screened in porch with some seats for hanging out. If your ever bottom West side of Florida you need to sneak in here. there is a tower to view the entire area next door as well as a walk way out back to a private dock area on the canal. South West Florida and the livings easy.
