Had the best scallops with rice meal and the prices are very reasonable. Husband had prime rib and enjoyed it, ate at the bar, service was great, these ladies rocked the bar! (love the entertainment as well). Highly recommend, great views and fun atmosphere, even for children. I love the outdoor deck, it is fabulous!!! I must stop and eat!

I came on a Sunday and stayed for "Sunday Funday" it's a beautiful casual restaurant with a nice big deck on the back that overlooks the water. We sat that way. It was where the action was. They had a bar, a stage, and a singer.Jim was an awesome entertainer. We enjoyed his band. He had everyone having a good time and dancing.The conch fritters tasted good. I liked them. I ordered the turkey Ruben sandwich. It came with a side. I got tator tots. They tasted good.The service was great and friendly. I had a great time here and I want to come back again.

Excellent vibe. Good food. Service staff with an attitude which I love. Great place to hang out. Affectionately not one of my dive bar favorites.

Chill outdoor deck with lots of tables. Live band. Very casual. Family friendly. Able to accommodate big groups. Deceiving big and able to sit quickly with no wait. Friendly wait staff and service. Food was fast, served in baskets. Food was pretty good - Mahi Mahi tacos were good, blackened grouper was prepared well. French dip and burgers were good. Do not recommend the Filet mengion, it was not the best..more like a sirloin and overcooked. Beautiful sunset view from the deck. Cute fishing village with lots of beauty restaurants. Portions were small and prices were a little high given the quality of food. Disappointed with overall availability.. they had no plates, no potatoes, ran out of key lime pie.

Went here with my mom after a long day outside. Food is high priced for what you get, but that seems to be this area. I ordered the seafood scampi. It was ok, needed salt and more sauce in general. I wouldn't order it again. My mom got fried oysters and tater tots. I thought they looked and little dark. She only ate a couple and said they were overcooked. When she told the waitress, she didn't offer to replace it or not charge for it (since she didn't eat it). There was music outside, and the singer had a great voice, however he sang some songs with profanity in them, so I am glad my kids weren't with us. I guess the outside was more of the bar atmosphere, but we could clearly hear it inside. Our waitress was very attentive and friendly. Overall, I might go back and try something else, but most likely not.

Disappointed for sure! We arrived at around 7pm and were told to sit anywhere. We went outside and did not have anyone come to our table at all. After at least 20 minutes and several employees walking past us, we left without anything said to us beyond telling us to sit anywhere. Was looking forward to a dinner on the deck. Won’t be returning or suggesting this location as an option for dining.

I REALLY wanted to love this place. Now, I just want to buy it and make it what it could be. 2 in our party of 5 liked their meals. Speaking only for me, my frozen piece of Grouper (I appreciate their honesty), was steamy-soggy on one side. All of fries were cold. Place was NOT clean. Service was friendly but slow and they weren't busy and had plenty of staff. I don't get it... this place is blessed with a great view, plenty of space and close to other restaurants that are better operated and have huge crowds. This place could be so much more. I love the potential.... wanted to give more stars.

Used to be a permanent customer because the food was somewhat ok. Went there today and they were closed, so I ate next door. Left my blue Chevy Truck parked there since they had a wide open empty parking lot and next door was almost full. The old men owner came out and kicked us out of there, rude. Had to move my truck to the parking lot next door. Old men just lost a permanent customer just for been a bad human being.

worst services ever.. they told us to sit anywhere. after 20 min we try to ask for services, the waitress told me I cannot take your order because I have to many customers sitting outside and have no idea who could help us .. then another waitress start yelling to customers. we are running slow. if you can wait go somewhere else..definitely I won't come back again . they lost good chunk of money from us today..I don't recommend this place..we left to another place .

Gorgeous location. Stop by boat or car. Pretty busy on the weekends. Sometimes they have live mermaids. The food is OK, bar food if you will. Service is OK. Lots of photo ops. Sometimes they have live music on the dock. There was a limited salad bar. Places are roped off so beware! Nails and screws were sticking out of the ropes right at lower leg area. Yikes matey!

The food is hit or miss, but the location, service, and live music are great. My mom loves the grouper fingers, and I've enjoyed the salad with tripletail in the past. However, on our most recent visit, I ordered the fried shrimp and was quite disappointed. The shrimp appeared to be the pre-breaded frozen variety that you'd buy at Costco...not what I was expecting when eating beside the fresh fish market. The atmosphere will bring us back, but I definitely won't be ordering the fried shrimp basket again.

Food was good. Conch fritters-not what I expected more dough than conch. Also, sauce too spicy for my taste. Triple tail tacos were good, watch for bones. Music was great.Parking: On a Sunday parking is difficult with Stan's just down the road.

We found Paradise and enjoyed the visit. The location offers a stunning view of the landscape and the array of birds that make it an unforgettable experience. The food is good for the area and I recommend to end the meal with key lime pie. There is live music that is entertaining . Don't sit too close to the stage if you want to carry a conversation. A warning: by the time that the sun goes down, tiny bugs invade the area and they are mean. Bring repellent and you will fully enjoy the sunset experience.

Did need to deviate from plant based diet to order dinner. Seafood choice was good. And being with family, did not get to choose the restaurant, so sometimes one needs to make a small sacrifice to enjoy dinner with family. Seafood was baked not fried, everything came out good for all party members.

Fun fun fun! Of course a bunch of us from Maine kinda took over! Tripletail tacos were delish and so was the coconut shrimp! Fries were so good! Seeing the boats go in and out was fun and then if course there was the cute mermaid🧜‍♀️ Can't wait to go back and see American Ride again!

Great bar, food, staff, atmosphere and picturesque views. Accessible by boat tucked away in Goodland, FL. Outside seating area is pretty large to accommodate large parties and family. Marco Legend, Frank Carroll, wisks you away with his wonderful, fun, relaxed music. Here, you are on Island Time.

We had a party of 7 today for lunch. Very quickly we had a nice table with a beautiful water view. Our table was uncleaned, and we had to ask 3 times to have it cleaned. This was after we had been served our drinks. When the table was finally wiped off it was with a dry cloth that left most of the nasty stuff stuck to the table. We requested some wet wipes which our server brought. Had to lift all our drinks to to clean the table. Service was slow, but adequate. Food was about average, but nothing special. Most of our group ordered the grouper. My biggest complaint is that they would not split the check, so we all had to figure out each person's share and come up with the appropriate amount of cash and tip. Not a customer friendly place. We won't be back.
