For the two times I came here (and other times before I discovered yelp) the service was moderate- not slow to complain about, it was the usual wait. And I've never had to wait for a table. Both times I came with my family and both times we ordered the "Coastal Calamari" as an appetizer. The calamari tasted great! So did the sauce! It also came with slices of banana peppers which I've never seen come with calamari but one bite and I was hooked. The first time I came I ordered the "Blackened Mahi Pesto Pasta" since I wanted something homey but also new. It came with a garlic roll which wasn't impressive at all and a salad which tasted great. As for the meal itself, it was delicious! The pasta alone would've been great and the blackened Mahi alone would've been great as well. What I really liked about this plate is instead of putting chunks of Mahi, they have the whole fish fillet on top so you know they're not cheating you with portion size. The second time I came I ordered the "Sunfish Salad" since I saw a few reviews recommending it, and I have to say it lives up to it's reputation. Again, they serve the entire fish fillet on top of the salad. It came with an exceptionally tasty mango vinaigrette and grilled pineapple which really complemented the fish and salad.

OMG! 100/100! Love it! Guarentee you want to come! Live music, great food, great atmosphere! We came here for my sister, Libby's, Birthday and the live music artist sang to her! Brandon brought her a slice of cake for us all to enjoy! This place went well over my expectations!

The relatively low rating had much more to do the service than it did the quality of he food. The restaurant itself had a cool and casual feel and we had no problem getting seated. Had to wait a long time for anyone to stop by and ask us if we wanted drinks. Should have taken this as a hint to try either another restaurant or ask for another waitress because the service just went from bad to worse. The waitress was inattentive and had just a terrible attitude. Completely rude to everyone at our table. One of the worst I have ever seen. On the plus side the food was fine but not memorable. Our table got the fish tacos, taco salad, and grilled chicken salad. No complaints from anyone. The guacamole appetizer was excellent. Bottom line is the place is decent and most likely has just one terrible employee who needs to go.

Was in the Ft. Myers beach for the last couple of days and stopped here for a bite to eat and a beer (OK, 2 beers). Food was very tasty. Likely to go back when/if im back in the area.
(4)Patrick S.
Not good food ! The service was great , the. Water taste like chlorine , the wings were raw inside burnt outside the veggies .. Gross the coffee is chlorine The base of all food is the water , if you have no filter you have no food .. 240.00 bill for 10 people The service was top notch ,
(3)Avegail C.
Fun atmosphere. Even on a Friday night, the service and wait was reasonable. The food was phenomenal. The 16 oz Bone-In Rib Eye steak was done perfectly at med-rare, juicy and flavorful. The tri-fish (Mahi, Grouper and Salmon) was grilled just right and seasoned deliciously, Sure love the singer tonight.

Sunday night in Ft. Myers Beach is pretty dead even if it's a three day weekend and a holiday weekend... sad. We went to Yucatan because they were open til 11pm. When we walked in, we thought it was a cool vibe with big metal fish hanging from the ceilings, pirate decorations, booths shaped like boats with fish poles attached to them, and a big gigantic tiki god to take pics next to. It was a hot pot of lots of quirky decorations. Ordering food was hard for me. Food I wanted on the menu was gone. For example, lobster ravioli and snow crab legs were not available. Of course they had king crab legs left, but I wasn't gonna spend $40 just for me for it. I then ordered grilled mahi. After the waiter said he put the order in, I told him I changed my mind. He said I could not change my order. Don't force me to keep that order because you are too lazy to change it. I ended up changing my order to a salad with fish and mango vinigrette and Yucatan bread which was like bruschetta with cheese and balsamic glaze. It would have been good if the bread was crunchier. My hubby ordered chicken tortellini. It was basic and he liked it. If the waiter didn't have an attitude with me, and then try to be fake and nice after his attitude, I would have had a better experience. Plus if the food on the menu was available, it would have been better. Change your attitude waiter. You're not paying my bill. Thank you.

This place was really cool!!! good drinks and appetizers, staff is very friendly and service is great. location is good. the decor is very islandish! :) very my neat. nice place to go and grab some cocktails after being in the sun for hours.
(4)Anita E.
I did not eat here. But stopped to have drinks at the bar. Great bartenders who wanted to be interactive with us and made us laugh!! I do have to only do the 3 stars because the bathrooms were absolutely disgusting. As the old saying goes...if their bathroom is dirty Sonia their kitchen. This is the electrical outlet just at the door inside the ladies room. Not hidden at all and most obvious but no one cares to clean this. Yuk.
(3)Stephanie S.
Came here on a weekday during a holiday week. Food, service, and music were great. Live music was so much fun. We had fish & chips for $13, grouper sandwich for $18, and mahi mahi dish blackened. The person eating fish and chips said it was best they've had. Blackened seasoning was tasty. All mixed drinks including margaritas and pina coladas were $8 each. The Yucatan bread app was a bruschetta type bread. It was good although the bread was a bit soggy on bottom and portions were really small for the full size $8 app. It's the only thing I wouldn't order again. I would return here in a heartbeat. We had a great time.
(4)Steve B.
Not Good! Oysters were rubber and should have returned once they arrived. Grouper-over cooked on the grill Mahi Mahi was good Hamburger was tasteless. Chicken fingers and French fries-were the best. Great French Fries. Stick to the fried food
(1)Ktmlou ..
Rude hostesses and management. No need to waste your money here so many other options. I guess when you're 20 years old manager you don't care about people... Not me!
(1)Jenn H.
The first restaurant we tried on the island and it was good but not exceptional. Unfortunately I think it was to busy for the staff to keep up or provide good customer service skills. It took a good 10-15 minutes before we got our waters after we arrived. We had onion rings as our appetizer and they were delicious! We all got hamburgers, mine came out wrong but they quickly corrected it. It didn't have any real flavor but it did the job. My favorite thing about the evening was the live music. The gentlemen performing was fantastic. Overall a decent evening.
(3)Jaclyn A.
We had the opportunity to come here twice this week. One day everything went well. Those aren't the days that stand out to me. It's how businesses handle times of adversity when you really can judge an experience better than the next. Tonight was one of those nights for Yukitan. Who knew the eve of tax day there would be a crazy onslaught of tourists coming at 9:55PM? I blame their EXCELLENT customer service for their busy random Tuesday night. I saw at least two other tables that had been there earlier in the week. They treated us well and it was fun so let's go back! That's what we did too. Again, random busy night with 5 min before kitchen closing. I'm sure they had already let off most of their staff for the night and then all these tourists poor in. Meet were probably not the only Midwesterners looking for a restaurant open past 10PM. I digress... Tonight was not a smooth night. In fact, I'm sure the employees felt like it was an epic fail. I, however, was beyond impressed in their time of adversity and frustration. The electricity went out, orders were lost, beers were spilled. But what stood out was the teamwork. Everyone seemed to chip in and help out. Our waiter who had been there for 3 years sold us on our food. It was just fine. His knowledge and zeal were incomparable and my husband and I wanted to hire him on the spot to come work for us despite the hectic evening. He was extremely motivated and hard working as was the manager and the hostess who all ended up helping us out. Thank you for your great service. Wonderful attitudes and great environment. We will be -back!

Nice atmosphere and good food.
(4)John D.
The food and the service was great. The Sunfish Tacos (Mahi-Mahi) were very good and filling.
(5)Hayden B.
Nothing really amazing. Ambiance was nice, but that is really it. The "band" is entertaining but I hardly consider it a band if it is only one person. The lobster ravioli was mushy and there was a scoop of crab on top? Not really sure why. The crab was cold and it really took away from the ravioli. The chips and guacamole was very good, but this is one of those places you go a couple times and don't come back.
(3)Anthony S.
Friendly service. Decent food. (Veggies are not carrots alone) Chad the mgr is super cool.
(4)Lori K.
You would be hard pressed to not enjoy the environment- the entire restaurant is open air and it seems like they always have live music. Our wait staff was very nice and attentive. The food was mediocre at best. The popcorn shrimp basket is huge, but relatively average, and I expect more at the beach. The buffalo sandwich was awful.
(2)Sarah D.
Everything about this place was awful. Food was bland, overcooked, and all around disappointing. The only exception was the steam pot which was decent at least. Calamari was a previously frozen rubbery mess served with generic marina sauce. Mahi mahi and sides were overcooked and bland. Music was obnoxiously loud (live band). The worst of all was the service. Everyone that worked there looked so angry to be there. I'm not sure I have ever had worse service - our server had no personality and couldn't care less about us. Strongly advise against wasting your time or money here.
(1)R C.
Cold beer and very good grouper fingers. Service was excellent as well. We'll be back.
(4)Matthew P.
Asked server how the ribs were. He didn't lie when he said meaty. They come with 2 sides and you better come hungry. I couldn't finish the whole thing and they were really good. Good service too. First time here and will definitely be back. A must go to
(4)Jada M.
This is an ok at best divey bar by the beach. The music was good (reggae) the food was quite bad and the service was just ok. This isn't a place to be avoided but I wouldn't rush back!
(2)Kelly K.
Seated right away, however after that service wasn't too great. Waited probably half an hour for our food. We saw tables that came after us get their food way before we did. Food tasted great though.
(3)Elizabeth C.
Large bar with server Mike smiling and doing a great job with drinks. Plenty of tables with smiling patrons. I ordered the Rack of Ribs and I can honestly say the most delicious ribs ever, even today from microwave. Juicy with meat falling off the bones. Seems like a "return again place for my wife and I and any visitors we get here in paradise.
(5)Bryan M.
Great service, good atmosphere, great happy hour specials.. the peal and eat ahrimp for $5was excellent.. tthe cocktails were decent. However I ordered the grouper and didn't like it.. it was a bit rubbery and chewy.. but oh well.. sara from england is a good waitress
(3)Chris B.
Been to this place two separate times. First was exceptional but this last time was terrible. Food was terrible and service was less than desirable.
(3)Amanda M.
Food is amazing ! I recommend the taco salad .... And for sea food lovers their grouper plater is to die for. Not only do they have great food there wait staff is the best. Me and my friend absolutely love this restaurant and would recommend it to everyone costing Fort Myers

We went here on our last night at FMB. Arrived around 830pm for drinks & dinner. When we walked in, we asked the hostess if they were getting ready to close (it was kind of empty aside from about 10 people at the bar) and her exact words were "oh heavens no, we still have hours to go." When our waiter came up, we told him that our plan was to have a beer or 2 then get dinner. He was like "hey, no problem, let me know when you're ready to order." We ordered our first beer and were chatting while drinking it noticed that tables were being cleared of everything when a party left. Finished our beers, waiter came by and took 2nd beer order. When he brought the beers back I asked him if they were getting ready to close---as someone who has worked in food service, it's an ominous sign when all the placards and salt shakers are being taken and the room looks like they're ready to put chairs on the table for sweeping. "Oh yeah. We're gonna shut down early, not too much longer.' I laughed because I thought he was joking. DIdn't we just tell him less than 30 minutes ago that we wanted to have a few beers and then order food? Didn't he say that was a-okay??? I'm pretty sure he did. So he goes on to tell us how this was the slowest night of the year, how they were losing money because of the electricity and staff costs. But hey, no rush, just drink your beers and get the hell out. So we're kind of chugging at this point with the idea that we'll get food to go. uuuuntil he comes back about 3 minutes later 'hey guys, they're sending me home so my buddy here will take care of you. But no rush, stay as long as you want." yeah, okay. This is all within, like 5 minutes of getting our 2nd beer. Meanwhile, he and our new server are standing about 5 feet away giving us the hairy eyeball. I really felt like we were being rushed out. We cashed out. Left 2 beers with only a few sips gone because we felt just so rushed out, even though the same 10 people were still sitting at the bar. SO they weren't closing ***THAT*** soon. I wish they had told us when we walked in that they were planning on closing early I wish they had told us when we said we wanted to order some beers then food that they were planning on closing early I wish they had told us when we ordered our second beer that they were planning on closing early. As it was, none of that was told to us when it was early enough to change our plans and go elsewhere. Bad service. BAD SERVICE. They are probably thankful that so much of their business comes from once-a-lifetime tourists like ourselves, because bad service doesn't matter, we were only ever going to come once anyways. So, I'm left giving 1-star reviews on Yelp and other such sites. Hint: It's really bad business to turn away people who want to pay for your food and service.
(1)Emily C.
Great service and food! Our server was Paul, super friendly! Had a great performer that night, Chris Kemp! The only downside was a regular customer (as we were told by our server), who was very drunk and just as loud. He was yelling throughout the restaurant and during the music, even yelling at me and group of friends. The bartender never did cut him off, and just became more and more drunk as we were there. That would be the only reason I didn't give this place 5 stars!

Good staff Good food Tiki theme Singer/ dj most days Open airy outside feel Decent parking I go once a week

My wife and I were in Ft. Myers Beach for the day and planned to try Smokin Oyster Brewery (SOB) because of all of the great reviews. However, SOB was closed due to remodeling, and Yucatan is next door. We were there on a weekday in late August, and the area was eerily quiet since it was off season. I'm told that it can take hours to get onto the island in the cooler months, but that was not the case when we visited! Only a handful of other diners came in, and the touristy neighborhood was fairly vacant. The majority of the seating is on a covered porch, though indoor seating is also available. We sat on the porch and enjoyed overlooking the (seasonally limited) action on the street from under the cool fans. The porch has multiple large flat screen TVs, but the noise did not compete too much with our conversation. Our server was very personable and helpful, and he recommended the Mahi-Mahi. I ordered the mahi sandwich blackened with sweet potato fries. The sweet potato fries were amazing, and they overshadowed the mahi. A side item should not outdo an entrée, but the mahi was just okay and rather dry. I have a hard time believing that it was caught fresh from the Gulf, like it was advertised. The menu is surprisingly varied, making this a good stop for seafood lovers and non-seafood lovers alike, but my wife went with mahi as well. She ordered the Sol De Pescado (fish salad) and substituted the tilapia with mahi. She also commented that the fish was dry and not quite worth the price. However, we enjoyed a leisurely lunch and cooling off under the porch as we shared a pitcher of beer and our meals. If you're looking for a place within walking distance of the boardwalk to grab a cocktail, catch a game, and nibble on something while cooling off and people watching on Old San Carlos, this place is perfect. If you are looking for really good seafood, you might leave slightly disappointed.
(3)Robin M.
Come for the food, stay frontage fun. The good: Food, atmosphere, service The bad: um...thinking...yeah, I got nothing. Yum yum yum. Dined with four adults and two children. The adults enjoyed the trio platter; crab legs (which I always feel are a lot of work for little reward) shrimp and scallops. They were well-seasoned and prepared perfectly. Then there was the boil pot; crab legs, shrimp, scallops and craw daddies which was also delicious. Cajun seafood pasta was done to perfection, no mushy pasta here! Fried jumbo shrimp rounded out the adult entrées. The sides were so-so; the garlic mashed potatoes were gummy and the Caesar salad uninspired. The onion rings were battered and delicious. Kids had chicken fingers and sliders; the fingers were huge as we're the sliders. No hungry munchkins leaving here! Service was fast, friendly and attentive and the live music is an added bonus.
(4)Christian D.
We had the wings for starters - great taste. Burger and ribs for main - good size portions and good onion rings. Kids had fish and chips - the loved the chips.
(4)Jessica H.
The food is good. Let's get that established. The decorations are cool, and the 3 times we have been there the live music performers have been audience friendly. But.... The service SUCKS every time. The first time we went the waitress took cash for my order, then added it to my friend's bill and gave attitude about him not wanting to pay my bill for a second time. The next time we went we had a bunch of kids with with us and the server seemed completely pissed about it. Yesterday we were there (first time in almost a year) and Mitch (our waiter) could not have been less attentive. Drinks were wrong, and refills not offered, food was slow, my daughter tried to order her food and he cut her off and asked me to place her order (she is 9 and well spoken). Again as with other times- food was good, service was awful.
(2)Jennifer S.
I have been to the Yucatan Beach Stand Bar a few times, I usually always stop in for drinks/food on my visits to Ft. Myers beach. It is located right off of the beach near the pier and it is all open so you can come right off of the beach and sit down at the bar and grab a drink and some food. I went recently with a friend for her birthday. We had just left the beach and wanted to get some drinks and food. The last few times the service at the bar has been pretty bad, slow to even notice you or take your order and no smiles or friendly service. We decided to get a table instead for this very reason. When we did get a table the service was a little better, still slow but at least the waitress was friendly. We ate mostly appetizers, I had the shucked oysters and they were super fresh and huge in size I ate them all pretty quick. We also got the calamari which was pretty good. Not the best I have ever had but not the worst either. This place is perfect if you are leaving the beach and want to go someplace for cheap drinks and decent food but don't want to change out of your suit.
(3)Rob G.
In general the food was ok although I had a hair in my salad and my fries were cold. They offered to swap the salad and the fries. Manager not overly bothered. The entertainment was good. The floor of the restaurant was pretty disgusting. Wouldn't rush back.
(3)John P.
Neat atmosphere and friendly staff. Probably a great place for a drink. Food was terrible. Fish was fishy and over cooked. Sweet potatoes fries were cold and soggy. Coleslaw was good. The $10 shrimp appetizer had some old shrimp, the kind that don't hold together when you peel them. Good parking and free. Great place for a drink but not to eat unless they change their ways.
(2)Claudio L.
Been there with wife and 2 kids. Food was very very good. Had the wings and the fish tacos. All very well done. We also had the fish platter and was plentiful of food for 4 people. Service was good as well.
(4)Jamie W.
We loved it here. The food was fabulous and the atmosphere is great. I'd recommend the boil pots for crab legs, etc. We've eaten here several times over the winter and had a great experience every time. I look forward to returning soon.
(5)Cheralyn F.
We had the King Crab which was cooked to perfection. Only downside was the flies, it's an open air restaurant which was very nice and the food was truly excellent, but those flies were really a bother! Definitely would go back, but would ask to sit away from the window side, maybe less flies more inside the restaurant. Excellent Service!!
(4)Adam M.
I've been living in Fort Myers for the last 4 years and I've been to Yucatan several times over the last year. I've had lunch and dinner here before and the service has always been friendly and pretty good. The food is great for the price point, and my favorite place to eat at the beach. I've never been disappointed by a meal there and neither has anyone that has been with me. I usually get the blackened grouper sandwich and sweet potato fries. The boom boom shrimp is good and my father-in-law loves the burgers. They have a decent craft beer selection(quality but not huge quantity) that is as good or better than most of the beach. I can always find something on tap there that I will drink. I once had a mixed drink there that was served in a freshly cored pineapple and it was downright lethal, so I stick to the beer.
(5)Patricia W.
Fun place for Ft Myers beach. Everyone is having a good time. Service was good and food was too. Interesting menu with lots of choices.
(4)Holly M.
This place is the best! Outstanding food accompanied by an amazing view of fort myers beach. It is open and just like a tiki bar with a more restaurant feel. Cannot explain how good the food is! I had the fish and chips first then the mahi mahi pesto Alfredo pasta which was absolutely perfect. Cannot wait to come back again!
(5)Chris S.
Atmosphere good. Waitress very good. Had the Cuban sandwich( good). Grouper sand which(blackened). Sand which was so so. Not really blackened. Onion rings were great. Drinks were sub par and elemental. Kool aid with alcohol.
(3)Gregg W.
Four stars only because on our second visit it took too long to get the food. We came here twice on our stay because we could walk here and the food was exactly what it should be for the price. We had peel and eat that was good first time we had it but the second time the ice melted and and mixed with the spice and so it looked like we were eating peel and eat shrimp out of dirty mud water. The wings were fantastic. The taco salad was meh. Not enough beef and the lettuce looked a little worn out. The conch chowder was right on but just a tad spicy for my wife to be. The service was excellent however. Christian served us both times and did a great job and was funny. The ambiance was fun but a lil warm.
(4)Veronica M.
Always great food and even better service. It doesn't matter if it's the busiest day of the week, servers are always courteous and and so attentive. My husband and I typically visit here several times during our vacation because we love it so much. Definitely reccomend!
(5)Darcy W.
Great sports bar in Fort Myers beach! We stopped in to see my Vikes play (not well either). Josh was a great bartender, friendly, and fast with the cocktails! I liked the atmosphere of this place! It is very beachy. We always belly up and the bar stools are fishing boat chairs. Nice touch! I would definitely go back...
(4)Staci S.
We came back this year and didn't have any problems. I would definitely recommend somewhere else for large groups, but for a family of 4-8 they did a great job. They also have a singer, Clive, that is fantastic.
(4)Steve R.
Horrible staff. We were looking to grab a drink and spend some time sitting watching the people walk by and thought this place had a great atmosphere. After being seated waiting 15mins and during that time noticed several servers walk right past and don't even pay any attention. The bar was mostly empty, just seemed like people didn't want to even work there.
(1)Colleen D.
This was the first place we went into when we got into Fort Meyers Beach - it looked fun from the outside. The food was pretty good / the server was very nice but a little slow (he had to ask us each time what we ordered every time after he walked away). We would probably come back if here again. It was day / lunch time so no entertainment that we could see.
(3)Elana L.
Don't or a mojito here...it tastes like soda and no alcohol. So disappointing. I tried the Butterflied Pompano because I had never heard of that kind of fish. It reminded me of Grouper, white, flakey, and buttery but a little more 'fishy'. If I had to choose between the two fish though, I'd still go with a Grouper the next time. The atmosphere here was fun, and lively. There is live music and tvs so it is a little loud. If I just wanted somewhere to go have a beer I might come back here, but probably not to eat. The food isn't that special for the expensive tourist prices.
(3)John A.
After years of vacationing down here near Ft. Myers Beach, I finally that I had to try out this interesting bar/restaurant with live music. The staff was very friendly and inviting right off the bat. Even though we were sat right next to the music (just note that we did not mind being by the music or speakers one bit at all), the volume was up just enough to be enjoyable but you could still easily carry a conversation. Now to the good part that everyone wants to see first in a review. The food was awesome. I had the house favorite fish tacos which were awesome. The Fiancee had the chicken quesadilla and said it was the best quesadilla she has ever had at a restaurant. The proportions were juat right and the prices were very reasonable. The restaurant was very clean and cool. The live music was great and was very friendly. Can't wait for our next visit!
(5)Kevin F.
Second night at Ft. Myers Beach. First night we ate at Smokin' Oyster Bar and it was good. Last night we ate at Yucatan Beach Stand Bar and really enjoyed this one too. This is still a very casual place to eat, almost identical to SOB, but YBSB is slightly nicer. Draught beer (SOB doesn't have) and a nice indoor eating area, although not A/C it's shaded and big fans moving the air makes it pleasant. We enjoyed Yucatan very much. Food was great. Lobster ravioli, baked seafood combo, chicken tortellini, and mesquite grilled Mahi was all perfect.
(5)Damien S.
3 star food, 5 star atmosphere, 4 star drink selections balances like an Enron checkbook, baby. There's no doubt that following a day of sun and fun (read: fry and cry), my first post-sand destination is Yucatan. The weaved patchwork that lines the walls and roof are thatchings of vessels past, creating a womb of fibrous, sinewy chlorophyll set to create a sense of calm and comfort. The Yucatan Red beer is a house-named brew that's $4 a pint and can help set the nerves of any new ale sipper. I love the pints - ice cold and dirt cheap, just like I like my wakes. Guacamole leaves much to be desired (fresh avo, barely there seasoning), but the blackened fish tacos are pretty stellar. Didn't really dive beyond that for the food aspect, but as a great, friends-with-benefits bar goes, Yucatan fits the bill. Keep it up!
(4)Elizabeth B.
We only ate at 5 restaurants while at Fort Myers Beach. This was the best out of the ones we tried. The food was good. We got the steamed shrimp, very fresh and good. And we got the snow crab legs, also very yummy. The fish sandwiches have HUGE pieces of fish, also the chicken sandwiches are large as well, so if you order a sandwich, be sure you are hungry. Very cute beachy decor and nice atmosphere. The hostess was very nice, however the service was poor. As all of the restaurants here we tried during the last week of Spring Break, the servers here seemed clearly weary of the tourists and begrudgingly provided service. The food and atmosphere gets a 4, the service a 2, so thus the 3.
(3)Beverly W.
Just stopped for a few drinks and appetizer. A shout out to the great server David from New York. Very personable and just a nice person. I would go back if we had David as server. The food was just okay, but David lead my husband to a great beer.
(3)Ani M.
Breakfast wasn't great but the service was excellent. The pancakes were overlooked but the rest of the meal was pretty good, especially the home fries.
(3)Stephanie I.
Sigh. I've been to Yucatan's twice, and each time was a bit of a disapointment. Entertainment: Each time they booked horrible bands (off key, warbling... but hey, maybe you need to be drunk to enjoy it? Not sure), so I'm not sure if the booking manager is tone deaf or what, but the bands were terrible both times. Food: Meh. They have a lot of seafood on the menu. I asked the waitress for a recommendation of two seafood items on the menu, and she chose the lobster ravioli. I'm guessing this was probably because it was more expensive than the other item. Lame way to try and get a bigger tip. So, after awhile, the lobster ravioli came around along with an incredibly greasy garlic bread roll/stick. It was clearly frozen and not freshly made, which was pretty disappointing. You could definitely tell that from not only its flavor, but also from its appearance. After we left, my stomach kind of felt meh, but I didn't actually get sick. My boyfriend got the grouper, and it was OK- definitely very fishy. He's pretty easy to please, though. Drinks: I tried a signature cocktail- the Goombay Smash. It was quite possibly the nastiest drink I have ever gotten. I had my boyfriend try it to make sure my tastebuds hadn't gone awry, and he agreed that it was disgusting. It was supposed to be Captain Morgan's Parrot Bay Coconut Rum, Mount Gay Rum, Triple Sec, pineapple and lime juices. It tasted like sweet & sour drink mix with a splash of well rum. It was definitely not worth the cost, and I couldn't even finish it. Service: Though friendly, the waitress was pretty inattentive. She never asked how the food/drink was (maybe because she knew it was bad?), and she was barely there (it also wasn't that busy). If she had been a TAD bit more attentive, I would've sent the drink back. Cleanliness: There's definitely a solid inch thick of dust on the fish hanging from the ceiling. Here's a tip- don't hang giant fish from the ceiling if you don't have a wand or the desire to clean them. It's pretty gross. Cost: I'm not sure what you're paying for. The bill for 2 meals and 2 drinks was $75. It was overpriced and gross. Next trip back to Ft. Myers, I definitely won't be going back.

Service was great. Live music a bit loud but pleasant acoustic. My husband had a delicious rib eye steak with garlic mashed potatoes. I had guacamole and chips which were a bit bland but spiced up with some salsa. The mojito had a nice fresh flavor, not too sweet.
(4)Jennifer J.
Very cute place! Yummy fresh food. I had the shrimp and Mahi. Only downside was that wireless was down. But I guess vacation is meant for "dropping off the radar" :)
(5)Phil R.
Great mojito and the sunfish tacos were very tasty. Neat atmosphere. Good friendly service and reasonable prices. Best meal I had while visiting fort Meyers for three days.
(4)JJ M.
stopped in for lunch today, we had a burger and fish tacos, Food was good, but pretty much average fare.....Drinks were fine and reasonabley priced.......Nicer building with more room than SOB up the street............... Breakfast menu looked good and very reasonable, gonna try that tomorrow a.m.

My family has been coming to fort Myers beach for more than 20 years, And we always saw the tiki man outside, so we finally tried this restaurant. It was very delicious! It's a little hot because there's obviously no air conditioning, but there were some fans. The clam chowder...was incredible! Very good flavoring and taste, nice and salty but not too salty. Nice big clams and tender potatoes. I also ordered the Cuban sandwich with sweet potato fries that came with a marshmallow dipping sauce...the Cuban sandwich surprised me as it was amazing! Nice Cuban bread, the pork and ham was nice and juicy. And a nice pickle inside. Very good flavor. Now the sweet potato fries were good. That marshmallow dipping sauce, is TO DIE FOR. It's heaven in a container. We'll be sure to make this restaurant one we go to every year!

Had a really great time here! First placed we stopped after getting into town and loved the atmosphere, music, drinks and food. Highly recommend!

Started with a few drinks; Yucatan Punch and Frozen Spiced Mango Meltdown. They were both good. Then dove into possibly the best appetizer bread ever, the Yucatan Bread; Tomatoes, basil, and garlic in a balsamic vinaigrette, with melted mozzarella and balsamic reduction. Yummy! For entree I ordered the Rack of Lambs. They are served with garlic mash potatoes, always a favorite of mine (though these were average, not amazing like the Outback ones) and the lamb is served in a mushroom sauce, not with mint like usual. The sauce was descent. The lamb itself was great, very tasty and served just as ordered, medium. Service was excellent, fast and attentive. In summary, I enjoyed the overall experience and would definitely recommend it as a stop if you are in the area.
(3)Koren L.
Great decor but with the prices you get better food at SOB or Doc Fords' across the bridge. So sad the fish Butterfly Pompano I got was a let down, no flavor and grey? the fish was about a quarter inch thick at that and when I said something to the waitress she began to tell me that's how this fish is little does she know that i have had fresh fish and it never is 1/4" think and that is being nice. This was FROZEN fish... the veggies were mostly onions with a few other beans in there. The calamari was awful too. We had the Best at the Beached Whale. So sad as my first experience was so much better last year than to day.
(1)Jordan L.
I really enjoyed this place. The Tiki Tortellini Florentine was really good! I liked the environment (but then again, I am from Indiana) and the live music was really good as well. My Dad got Tacos and they were OK. My Uncle got the Hamburger and it was pretty good he said. I would go back again.
(4)Jessie H.
We went here this morning for breakfast. I had the chicken fried steak 7.95. Good, hearty breakfast.
(3)Erica E.
Waaaaaatttttiiiinnnngggggg, I'm still waaaaaiiiiitttiiinnnnggg! Long wait time, obviously.
(2)Don S.
Nice atmosphere, fast service. Didn't try the food but everyone seemed to enjoy what they were eating and it looked good. Just had drinks at the bar which was comfortable. Bar seats are really comfortable but they are white and the one I was sitting on needed cleaned.
(4)Arne G.
Not worth the wait. The service was slow - I mean its okay if you don't mind waiting too long for your meal and then eating without having your salad dishes piled in the middle of your table. The salad was fine and the dressing that comes in the sealed plastic cups was - well need I say more? My wife had the shrimp and scallops with linguini and it was soaked in oil. Not edible and they didn't really care. Will pass next time.
(2)Steve F.
I can agree with most people's complaint about slow service here. The lady was very nice but it took her awhile to make an appearance and then it took some time to get our food. But besides that, this has to be one of the best grilled grouper sandwiches I've ever had. Nothing chaps me more than a fish sandwich that is a big old bun with a small piece of fish on it. The portion of fish was so large that it hung over the bun and onto the plate on two sides. I took a picture with my IPhone but am too technology illiterate to get the pic posted as I'm doing this review on my IPad. Sorry. Anyways, I'd suggest checking this joint out especially if a good grouper sandwich is your holy grail.
(4)Wendy M.
SLOW service. We were in Ft. Myers last week, which is there off season, and it took us forever to get a drink, order food and get our check. The food was definitely nothing to speak of.
(2)David G.
Ugh. Should have seen the warning signs. Typical tourist joint that looks good on paper but doesn't quite play the game to its potential. Not horrible, but there's much better options. Nice looking place, though, if you want to take in the scenery as opposed to, you know, eating and drinking.
(2)BJ E.
Nice, clean place. Didn't have any service problems at the bar. Alcohol prices were below normal, for it being near the beach. Although, I didn't try any food here, I think it is more than a capable restaurant/bar.
(4)Spenser D.
Service was pretty bad. Took forever to order our food and drinks, though luckily it was happy hour and they were slightly cheaper. Our food was so awful. My wife ordered the chicken quesadillas, which were super greasy and not very flavorful, and I ordered the fish tacos which tasted like fish sticks covered in watery ranch. I'm from Texas and have had waaaaay better fish tacos there.
(2)Mikhail Z.
Meh is right. Standard tourist pricing and taste. I had the baked seafood platter (1 scoop of garlic mashed for $2-3 I can't remember, nice considering it came out of a Gordons 5 gallon bucket), wife has the vodka chicken with sauce out of a jar and microwaved chicken). Best to try something else and pay a little more.
(2)Jack S.
Yucatan Beach Bar is probably one of my favorite places to eat at Fort Myers Beach! Last time dad and I stopped in we sat out on the patio side to enjoy the nice breeze and decided to try the Tri Sampler of fish that we ordered blackened with a side of mashed potatoes and onion rings. It was great. Unfortunately my 1/2 pound of crab legs for $9 (with no sides?) was hardly a snack and I wish I had ordered something that would actually fill me up. Pina Coladas and Margarits were tasty, really hit the spot on a hot beach day and were decently priced. Our waitress with the English accent was awesome and we were happy to have her. Halfway through our meal a solo musician began raping our ears with acoustic versions of oldie but moldie favorites. It ruined the mood and was a bit too loud...so we quickly gulped our dranks and stumbled out (a tad buzzed) back onto the beach..
(4)Brian M.
Outstanding bar service , josh takes the time to make the Yucatan experience a bonus!! Good times !!!
(4)Amy S.
Yucatan is our favorite spot in Fort Myers! Every time we go we try to get a spot at the bar if Josh is working. He is an awesome bartender, always friendly and speedy. The fish tacos are a must! Reasonably priced food and drinks, great service and close to the beach. You can't go wrong with this place!
(5)Teddy P.
Good music, decent service, however didn't get anyone's food order right. Attitude seemed complacent about serving the customer. Wondered if anyone was managing the place.
(3)Michael K.
Ate there last night. Cool bar and ICE COLD beers. They have a digital thermometer at the hostess stand as u walk in with the current temp of the draft beer. Pretty cool.
(4)Russ B.
Nice beach bar about 3 blocks off the beach. Prices are great $3 drafts! Foods was good had a chicken sand no complaints. Service was a bit lacking. Bar was a little busy and there was only one bartender so it took forever to even get a menu let alone a refill. Also they have their own parking which is prime. check it out
(3)Kat D.
Gonna try the tiki tortellini florentine!
(3)Kitty T.
This is my husband and my favorite place to have drinks on Ft. Myers Beach. We have been going to FMB together for right around seven years now (I've been going since I was a kid), and when Yucatan opened a few years ago, it became our place immediately. It is designed like a gigantic, open air tiki hut, with a sleek curved bar. Just the right amount of tropical tiki kitcsh. The food is yummy - they have FANTASTIC french fries. But, since I err on the side of healthy, I get the seared ahi tuna appetizer and it is delicious. They have good wings and a yummy habanero hot sauce, which goes well with everything! Their oysters have consistently been fresh and tasty as well. On to the drinks: Honestly, they have some of the best drinks on the island. They are strong, well mixed and reasonably priced. The bartenders have been awesome! I've never seen a waitress or bartender covered in neo-nazi tattoos, and we have been here frequently. This sounds like an...untruth...to me. The only reason that I'm giving 4 out of 5 stars is that we had an occasion where the waitress has walked away after taking our cash and never returned with change (when a LOT of change was due) and we had to track her down. It was at our wedding reception, and unfortunately it wasn't just us at our table, she also walked off with a family friend's change and my aunt's (the only people who paid cash instead of with a card). We are always BIG tippers and she would have ended up with a WAAAAAY bigger tip had she not tried to stiff us. And at our wedding celebration none-the-less. BUT that was our one badish experience there, and it will not keep us from coming back.
(4)Michael C.
As Dionne Warwick would say, "just walk on by". The building and decor tease your curiosity but when you enter you feel like you walked into your grandparents' finished basement. Got off to a rough start with the server, but she came around and did a fine job. We ended up only ordering appetizers (so-so) and beverages and moved on. Despite my opening line, I'm not trying to be mean. But with other options along the water, it felt counterintuitive to be in a place that was so landlocked and just didn't deliver.
(2)Elizabeth D.
Yucatan wins because... I brought a foodie (my husband) and two picky eaters (my parents) and they were all very happy with the food/service. So much so, that we ate here two nights in a row (OK, OK there aren't that many great places on Fort Myers Beach). Overall, a fantastic spot in a sleepy town. Large menu with tons of delicious tasting stuff. I think the menu items are pretty normal, but the chefs really make it happen. FOOD: - Calamari: Good - Tiki Tortellini Florentine: Delicious & very filling - Yucatan Sunfish Tacos: Amazing, order extra sauce. - Island Shrimp and Scallop Scampi: What you'd expect, but still good - Buffalo Chicken Sandwich: Best I ever had. Incredibly spicy, but amazing if you're into that sort of thing. - Chicken Sandwich: One of the best, very juicy You honestly can't lose here. ATMOSPHERE: From what I saw, probably the liveliest spot on Fort Myers beach. They've got some singers (both male/female) which are so bad it's amusing. SERVICE: Top notch. Very friendly, as are most of the residents of Fort Myers. BOOZE: I had the punch (Yucatan punch) and it came with a free glass. You can't help but feel extremely pleased when you get a free glass. Admit it.
(4)Marcus W.
The food was just ok, had steamed clams as an app and several were not open... Drink service was few and far between, found myself chewing on ice many times. I've lived in the area for 25 years and this was my first visit. It will be another 25 before I go back.
(1)Mike G.
Sat nite 630 not busy. Seated right away, but took 10 minutes for Anita to ask for our drink order. Nice looking interior with a nice beach theme, but I am guessing no locals go there. Nothing special about the menu, wife ordered the Sunfish tacos, fish was fried and she was not very impressed. My pork sliders were as plain as they could be. No sauce or dressing, just a piece of a pork chop on a bun with a piece of lettuce and a thin slice of tomato, my fry's were over cooked and all stuck together. Waitress was not very available, considering they had food runners and bus people you would think the server could check in a little. We had to ask for refills on our drinks and that took forever. Frank the magician was strolling thru the place as was actually not bad, but over stayed his welcome with us by 2 tricks. I know he is hustling for tips, but we aren't interested in your life story. Absolutely nothing special about this place, never again for us. Better off eating on the other side of the bridge at Doc Fords. Waitress became personable when it was time for the check.
(2)Tony B.
Went to Yucatan on Wed. 1/11/12. Seated very quickly. Our server was very prompt. She did a great job of taking care of us. We both had sandwiches and they were cooked perfectly and served in a timely manner. We would go back to this restaurant again. I would imagine they get very busy on weekends.
(4)Mike G.
Ehh - walked in, decided to walk out. I've walked out of very few restaurants in my life but this was one. First, we were seated in the back corner by ourselves which was a bit uncomfortable but we decided to stick with it. One thing I can't stand is seeing staff leave the restroom without washing their hands. I know it and worse happens but I don't want to see it. Finished my beer, settled up and left.
(1)Jesse S.
appetizers and drinks were good service little slow. Great atmosphere.
(3)Trish H.
Firstly we went the first time on a chilly afternoon in the middle of the week. It wasnt crowded, and we ate "outside" in the bar area. They had VERY warm propane outdoor heaters, and had a filling lunch. I had a something that is not listed on thier online menu, called a Yucatan Chicken sandwhich. It was served with all the regular fixings, grilled chicken and a peice of pineapple. The flavor was good, i wish it had had more pineapple. I believe teh chicken was done in thier marinade as well. The sandwhich was good, but it was HUGE. I couldnt eat it all, and only finished about half of it. My husband had the grouper sandwich and said it was tasty. He would order it again. The french fries are very tasty, they have that crusty outer edge, sorta like arbys.. but not.. i cant explain it. Would definitely order again. Our second trip was two days later and we went with our my inlaws so we had four meals to review. My MIL had the special which was grouper stuffed with crab meat, and it came with Rice and Steamed veggies, and my FIL had the Grouper Platter (12oz filet of the freshest, local grouper served grilled, blackened or fried with your choice of any two sides) Both said it was VERY tasty though, my FIL said his was a little under fried and wished it was a bit crispier, but liked it despite that. Both said they would order it again. Hubby had Fish and Chips - said it was ok, might order it again, nothing special. I had though.. something SO tasty i wish i could have every day for dinner i think. I believe(because its the ONLY thing highlighted on the menu) its their special. Tiki Tortellini Florentine (again quoted from their website) Two grilled chicken breasts over a bed of tender, tri-colored tortellini, tossed in a white garlic Alfredo and spinach cream sauce then drizzled with sweet balsamic reduction The sauce was not overflowing, it was just enough to cover the pasta, and add flavor. This was a huge meal again for me,and i ate half of it and took the other half home. We got to listen to live music for the second half of our dinner and it wasn't over powering. Nice addition to the atmosphere. All in all, of the few restaurants we attended, price was a little high in my opinion, but we all seemed happy with our food, and would return if in the area. (meals were easily 13+ per person, not including drinks) /mile long review
(4)Shakira H.
Solid restaurant on the beach. A tad bit cheesy, but that's what give beach restaurants their charm. Drinks: Mermaids Punch - Good but didn't taste the liquor. Captain's Runner - very strong, but good! Appetizer: Tommy's Famous Boom Boom Shrimp. They were quite tasty, but I didn't feel that they were as good as Bonefish, my boyfriend felt otherwise. Overall, very good! Lunch: Yucatan Sliders - just OK. Nothing to write home about. Taco Salad - Solid, again, nothing to write home about. Overall, the food is solid and the service is great! Good place for lunch.
(3)Kim H.
Perfect place for a sun fish (talapia) sandwich or salad. Service is slow -aka - Florida style. Not always a bad thing.
(4)Bryan F.
This place has pretty decent food and drink, at pretty reasonable prices considering that Ft. Myers Beach is kind of a tourist trap. I dig the overall atmosphere of the place (the boat seats at the bar are an interesting touch) and the service is pretty solid. The food is pretty much the north american bar food, with the regional fish stuff you'd expect to see. It's not outstanding but it's pretty good... with good weather and a cold beer you can do worse than this place. We end up here sometimes after watching the sunset go down, and will likely be back there again. Here is the bad news: They have had a local live music person in there playing music, and they are horrible... the worst sequenced craptastic stuff one could imagine, the music is much better when the guy is taking a break and they just play your normal beach bar type tunes.
(3)Cynthia H.
Bad service , rude waiter. Salty clam chowder not new england. Steak burgers blah with no sauce and tomato. Saggy bread for the burgers, and sandpapper quesadillas. A nine year old could cook better. Bathrooms were nasty, made you think what the kitchen may be like.
(1)Rebecca S.
This bar is so nice because it is wide open and you can walk right off the street. The waiter we had was exceptionally great and HOT too. LOL I loved the whole scene there and its like everyone gets along there. The drinks were so cheap too. That was a shock to me being from CT.
(5)S J.
First time visit on December 7, 2012 with a party of 6 everyone was pleased with their meal. Prices pretty much as expected for a beach town. Service was average. Atmosphere was really nice. Don't think this place will disappoint anyone. A must try if your on Fort Myers Beach.
(4)Jeremy L.
Very solid restaurant bar. Totally Tiki atmosphere with open windows to let the gulf breeze in. Very cold beer and plenty of entertainment. There was a DJ, steel drum player and a singer/songwriter on different occasions during the week. I would recommend the ginger spice shrimp skewers as far as the food goes. It is worth a stop!
(4)Donna D.
Great fun & Josh our bartender was very nice & helpful. We had a couple appetizers that were great also. You must stop by!
(4)Jason D.
Food and atmosphere is a four star, service gets 1/2 star. On a Monday at 1pm, no hostess to seat us, which even confused the couple in front of us. Our waitress was horrible! While waiting forever for her to take our order, I said, "I've got a bad feeling about this place." The hostess/manager even looked at us and asked if we had been helped yet. One would of thought that they would of addressed this problem with our waitress, but apparently they did not or our waitress just didn't care. Food was good but took a long while to come out, even though they were not busy. Hamburgers and beer were pretty good. The guy singing got the tip that our waitress would of got if she didn't suck. Just wish we had the waitress that the large table had behind us so I can give this place a higher rating.
(2)Andy S.
Yucatan is a very short walk from the beach and a great place to grab a reasonably priced beer. The place is comfortable and an ocean breeze blows through reminding you why you love the beach so much. If all I want is a beer while visiting the beach then this place is tops. Now for the not so good. There is a good chance for having to sit next to kids, even if you're at the bar, who are screaming and losing their minds because they just got out of the ocean. My last visit to Yucatan included a kid doing "shots" of syrup so he could pretend to be an adult. Yes, I know, I'm being a prick. This is a vacation town and people want to have fun. I just don't find your kid nearly as cute as you do. Overly excited children aside - I've found the food to be totally forgetable. I wouldn't be surprised to find out everything served is pre-made then heated to order. Burger, bland. Chicken wings, covered in Franks Red Hot. It's a big basket of "who cares?" Any time I've gone in the staff has been great and I love the digital read-out that lets you know how cold the beer taps are. If the food was better I would give this place four stars. If children weren't allowed and there was no chance of hearing Jimmy Buffet I'd give it five.
(3)Anthony F.
Stopped in during early afternoon, drawn by the toothsome 20something soloist doing decent covers on last-decade pop hits. Had the Caribbean Jerk Quesadillas and a Yucatan Punch. Quesadillas were filling and fairly tasty, the punch was enough to get me pleasantly buzzed for the next hour or so. Service was decently prompt, polite and unobtrusive. Is it authentic or a locals' joint? Uhhh, no, and what did you expect? FMB is a big tourist trap any which way you look at it, so this place fits right in. It's not particularly memorable, don't hold your wedding banquet here. It's a decent place to get out of the sun, get a snack and a fruity drink, and relax, no more or less.
(4)Someone S.
Average food (good, just nothing to write home about) and good live music. Pleasant atmosphere. I felt like it was one of the nicer places in the area.
(3)Matthew S.
Great time great fun and great music.
(5)Steve B.
Been to the Yucatan many times..great bar, foods decent.Happy Hour is great ... Drinks and meals for 2 for under 40 bucks.We go there at least once each trip, great open air bar...parking is tight but not too bad.
(4)Gregory H.
I did have a good dining experience, however I left my credit card with the bill. I called the next day and had an awful time. The manager (a heavy dark haired woman) refused to check the back for my card because they were "too busy" and told me no one would be able to assist me until the next day. Being on vacation it was important to regain access to my funds, so I stopped by and politely asked if a manager could please check the safe for me. They obviously weren't "too busy" when I arrived (less than half capacity), but the same manager who spoke to me on the phone was incredibly annoyed that I showed up. She rudely dismissed me and told me that she did indeed check after my call and my card wasn't there. Thankfully, my waitress from the night before (Ashley) saw me and walked over just to let me know I left my credit card and it was in the back!! The manger gave her the most appealing look I've ever seen then walked into the back with her and returned with my property. I have to say the customer service on this issue was beyond terrible. If it weren't for Ashley I would have spent the evening canceling my card and reworking my finances to make it back home. I would recommend fellow travelers completely avoid this place. There are plenty of other restaurants within walking distance that are just as good, if not better.
(1)Davie H.
This place is just never going to compete with SOB's. Its sad because the interior is beautiful and the location is great, but there's a lot of inexperience and just average food quality. Our server Christian was great and polite so it pains me to give this place 3 stars, but its only due to food quality and everyone else besides Christian seemingly not caring about their job. (Wife ordered Sauv Blanc wine, Christian rang it up right on the ticket but the bartender poured Chardonnay)
(3)Robert C.
Had the Yucatan Sliders. Really good. Hand made and cooked perfectly.
(4)P J.
I just tripped upon this place during a daily walk one day with my wife while on vacationing in Cape Coral. We had lunch and were pleasantly surprised. The lunch was excellent. The atmosphere was welcoming. I got a basic grilled chicken sandwich that made me want to sing. It was just that good..... Waitress was a little on the dark side ( tattoos and all ) but very nice and accommodating. . .........
(4)Joshua N.
Went there on a Sunday and then again on the following Monday. Got the lobster ravioli on Sunday. It was to die for. So good! Got the blackened mahi pasta on Monday night. It was really good too. Service was decent. Not extraordinary but it wasn't bad. Great food and pretty cool decor.
(4)john p.
BEST wings on Ft Myers Beach, good live family style music, Great burgers, good fish. I dig it. Lots of TVs for sports but Not noisy. Wife LOVES the chicken quesadillas. The staff is excellent. Staff is also very active in beach events and we love to support a really good restaurant that supports the Beach!
(4)Rich P.
Great Food! Maybe the best Ahi I have ever had. Good service at both the bar and the table. Nice entertainment. The night we werew there they had a magician - Close Up Magic By Frank - who was just wonderful! WE wll be back at Yucatan.
(4)Holly G.
Three of us went for an early dinner. The food was very good. Our server was fun, friendly and attentive. We'd go back!
(4)Beth B.
Best MOJITOS I have had anywhere! Bartenders were fun and the food was great. Much better than the typical bar food I was expecting. We went there a few times on our weeklong trip, yum!
(4)Vince G.
Food ok. What makes this place worth visiting is the open air bar with some of the coldest draft beer in FMB.
(3)Ab To The G.
Ok so sadly I have been here a few times and have been very disappointed. The service isn't great... Slow and the food isn't superb either. There's better places to eat on the beach. The one plus is that the restaurant is open air which is nice but doesn't make up for the lack of taste and service
(1)Denise N.
I had a great time listening to live music on a Tuesday night. We stayed for a couple of hours and danced a bit. The service was excellent and there was a nice mix of people. A very comfortable place. I will be back with more friends.
(4)Kristen G.
We've been eating here since we started coming to Ft Myers Beach 4 years ago and it always wonderful! The fish tacos and oysters are amazing! And they have a great kids menu. My 4 year old always gets the HUGE hot dog!
(4)Ronald S.
We just had lunch at the Yucatán everything was so good our server whose name is Leanne was wonderful so hopefully all the reviews about slow service are things of the past. we certainly enjoy this place was second time there!!
(5)Colman R.
Great little spot at Fort Myers Beach. Restaurant is opened up and breeze was awesome. Live Music, good service and good food. Had the popcorn shrimp and it was very good. At our table, raw oysters were okay. Boiled shrimp was awesome and was the best thing at our table. Beer was ice cold. It was a good ending at the beach.
(4)JP B.
Want a good time and great Fish. This is the place to go in Fort Myers Beach! Been there Several times and never had such fun with great food. Their service is amazing!
(5)Nikki L.
Can't really give any reviews on the food (didn't eat anything) or the price of the drinks (didn't pay for them), but I was a fan of the convenient location to the beach, the high ceilings/decor, and the strong drinks. I spent my 23rd birthday here celebrating with my family and decent karaoke host/DJ. The vibe is definitely laid back and the service was adequate; not impressively nice, but not incompetent. Overall, the high rating is for the overall feel of the joint and the very strong Long Islands I sipped/guzzled all night.
(4)Lori A.
Fun atmosphere and good food. Open wall environment in which the entire interior looks like a basket (woven walls). There was a live band during our visit (night of May 1st) which was pretty good and pretty loud. So loud that my husband's order was wrong, but they replaced quickly with the correct order. Our server was indifferent until she learned the order was wrong, then she was suddenly friendly. After a short wait to be seated at about 9pm, my husband and two small children were brought to a high boy table directly in front of the band. Not only would my 4 & 6 year olds likely fall off those chairs, they would have suffered hearing loss and had a poor outlook in bands in their adult lives. As a fan of live music, I want my kids to love, not loathe it. I graciously said we would wait for another table and we were seated in a more reasonable area and sized table within minutes. Fish tacos were delicious. Kids meals were huge. Tenderloin sliders were good, but really just medium sized burgers. Beers were reasonable. I would go again. Minor mishaps with the incorrect food order and improper seating, but they were quickly remedied.
(3)Victor N.
Came down to Fort Myers to check out the beach then when in the Yucatan for a drink. Great atmosphere very casual and a great spot on a warm night.
(4)Bob M.
Myself and 2 sons went after being at the beach for a couple of hours and walking the various shops yesterday. (we got there at 11:30am) The bar is about a football field from the beach so it is an easy walk and you can go very casually dressed. In a nutshell, it is bar food. We got the Lava Nachos and 3 burgers. No alcohol just soft drinks and water. The food is nothing special but it is not bad either. It is about what you would expect from a beach bar. Would I tell you to make a special trip to eat there? No. I would tell you that if you were close to it and hungry to go and eat as it would be a decent meal. The service was good. For the 3 of us we spent $48 including a 15% tip....on burgers and nachos.
(3)Trevor G.
We were in Ft Myers beach for about 6 nights and this became our hang out. The location is great. We had an open air window table and watched the bikers and cars parade along old San Carlos Blvd. First off the service is exceptional. Our first waiter was Paul and I thought he was great until we had Scott who went the extra mile that you rarely see. Everything we ate was great. Clam chowder especially was about as good as it gets. Had the happy hour peel and eat shrimp $5. The shrimp was bigger than we'd had in other peel and eat places. Also had the King Crab and $4 happy hour margaritas. Ordered a few shots and they are free pours that come in tumblers glasses (very generous portion). Live music every time we were there plus as a bonus they have a close up magician working the tables. He entertained us for about 10 minutes and we were both impressed. Can't think of anything negative to say.

I was impressed with the food here considering its a beach bar/restaurant. Good live music and located near the main area of Ft. Myers beach. I would go back

If you like a burned out hostess, abrupt waiters, a loud, noisy restaurant, with too many kids (9 - 12 yo) at 10pm, you'll love this place. It being post-spring break, can understand the exhausted energy of the staff.

Our bartender gal was *covered* in neo-Nazi tattoos. Our drinks were good, strong for the price, but that is what I will remember forever. And also what I'll tell my friends.

Can I gIve 0 stars? We were trying to find a quick bite in Fort Myers after taking some engagement photos (Fort Myers beach has really nice, colorful buildings with character) and were told by the hostess there weren't any tables available so we decided we'd just go to the bar. While waiting at the bar for menus 3 tables opened up. We inquired about having one of those and, the phrase of the day: "let me just do my job and wait until they are ready." Mind you we were just trying to get out name down to be able to receive one of the three tables when they were cleaned. We were told we couldn't sit at two of them because "the server is new and can't handle more tables right now." This is our problem because..?? The while we were trying to be polite and say we'd patiently wait for the server to catch up, the manager or whatever he was, repeatedly said... Yes, the phrase of the day. At least 3 times... So of these three open tables we weren't allowed to sit at any... We left the struggling staff to "do their job" and went to Hooters for a burger and friendly service. In Naples this place wouldn't last a month...

This restaurant is owned by the same people who owned the place where we were staying. Since it was walking distance, we decided to give it a try. We loved it! The food is great, quantities large & prices reasonable. It's not the usual beach fare. They actually specialize in comfort food like Pork Chops, Rib Eye Steak, and burgers. The Jerk Chicken quesadillas are superb! Atmosphere is outstanding. Bar Stools are boat captains' chairs. Great entertainers in the evenings and super drink prices. We went back twice...I don't think you will be disappointed.
