The Mucky Duck Restaurant

Very well known and a must visit. You can eat outside or inside, there is access to the beach and rocking chairs that face the water. Great food, the atmosphere was right up my alley! The water tasted like from the tap, but I was able to order bottled water. We ate around 2pm and we had no problem finding parking. Prices were not bad at all!

Great beachside vibe. We sat at tables with wait staff on the patio. Apparently they also have picnic tables in the sand for people who order inside and then have names called to get food. There’s also a bar on the patio. Our server was very friendly and attentive. They had some local Florida brews on tap which was nice. We had four people in our party and two people ordered salads and two people ordered fish and chips. The salad was fresh and the fish and chips were fine. The shrimp bisque was very good! Parking: there is a small parking lot and they are very diligent about watching where people park; they do not want you parking for the beach in their Restaurant parking lot. Our group chose to park at a parking lot at the end of the road and then walked the beach back to the restaurant ( 3 minute walk).

Everything about our visit to Mucky Duck turned out great. They have a great location with a marvelous view of the Gulf of Mexico and serve up great meals that the whole family loved. Their crunchy grouper sandwich and seafood pastas from the Specials Board today were excellent. We were concerned when we pulled in about finding parking, but there was an attendant whose job was to keep the non-customers from using their lot and showed me a place I could park that I would have assumed was too small because it was on the end. Parking border the beach itself, so without the attendant, beachgoers may try parking here. My car fit, so we parked and went in. The inside was small too but we got a table without waiting. We ordered and were served by a friendly and efficient waitress. She checked in with us frequently as we dined and kept our drinks filled. A tip for those who visit that are taller than 6'2 or so - Watch Your Head while walking through the place, many ceilings are very low for tall folk! Also, check out the place's history by looking at the walls, ceiling and menu, and find the reason some call it the Lucky Duck. It's a remarkable story. We plan to return to Mucky Duck. It seems to be the type of place where everything on the menu is really good.

Love this spot. Overlooks a beautiful beach you can swim at. Has outdoor seating that's self service, so you don't have to wait. Expect a wait for indoor service &/or make a reservation. Also parking is awful here, it's very small & always backed up. Get dropped off if you can! Fun & quirky place with good food & usually good service.

We lunch here every time we visit the island. The fish and chips is a classic. It’s very good. It’s maybe not particularly special but it’s a comfort. The grouper sandwich is always very good. The burgers are a great option. Great views of the beach. The house sauce is delicious. Stop in and have a drink and a meal. It’s worth the time.

Cool place with cool vibes and fantastic beach side setting. Fairly pricey for the quality of food. One very odd thing was that the waiters don't serve water. It is self serve out of a container into small throw away cups. I would go back because of the atmosphere but the water thing sucks!

This restaurant is a hidden treasure. The wings are great! The food is very good although a bit pricey. It is right on the water so the view is beautiful. Their seafood pasta is always a hit. Bowtie Cheesecake delish.

Made many visits here during our trip last week! We loved walking up from the beach and getting a drink and snack at the inside bar, as well as riding our bikes up and watching the sunset from their patio (also for a drink from the crew at the inside bar) They have great appetizers and even better bartenders. Definitely stop by if you’re on the island.

Sunset Dining Experience awaits! Delightful Dining Experience at The Monkey Duck Located on Captiva Island, The Monkey Duck comes highly recommended and is definitely worth the drive, although parking is limited. The restaurant boasts a charming beachfront setting with inviting rocking chairs while you wait for your table, offering stunning views of white sandy beaches, palm trees and live music. We indulged in a variety of appetizers, including popcorn shrimp, oysters, and spinach salad, all of which were fresh and delicious. Despite the slightly disappointing Keylime pie, which had a frozen consistency more to sorbet, the overall menu offers reasonable prices and exceeds expectations. With both indoor and outdoor seating, we highly recommend opting for the outdoor area to enjoy breathtaking sunset views. The atmosphere is reminiscent of an English pub, adding to the unique dining experience at The Monkey Duck. Overall, a must-visit for both atmosphere and cuisine.

Ok the tables outside for sunset are worth the wait The food is not anything great But if your in need of a drink and a pee then this place is for you Cool old decorations inside and the beach make it worth a good drive Have fun but don't get the calamari !

BEWARE. WORST DINNER OF MY LIFE. DO NOT GO HERE. this traumatic event happened to me and my family on easter. 2 completely wasted local bros harassed me and my family to the point where the police showed up and had to remove them- a bystander called the police and multiple families left immediately because of the unsafe environment that these men created .the restaurant staff did NOTHING to help us, they did nothing to speak to us directly or accommodate us. in fact, the waiter, rusty, directly enabled this situation, Rusty sided with the men who were harassing me and my family telling me "they've been here all day" implying that because they had been at the restaurant before us, they could treat the other customers any way they wanted. despite these men harassing and screaming at me, my mom who is a senior, and my boyfriend, Rusty made us move tables and said that because these men spent more money than us and had been there at the beach longer, we were not able to keep our table because they wanted it. it was truly horrifying and sickening. Through this, Rusty had also basically admitted to me, he had over served these customers to the point of being belligerently intoxicated, creating a unsafe environment for everyone. when I asked for a refund because I was literally crying and sick to my stomach and had completely lost my appetite, they said "I wish I could help you, but I can't". this situation started because I was at a table with my family, and these men came and surrounded us and started mocking my boyfriend out of nowhere, calling him my ex boyfriend and just messing with us, next they put their dirty shoes on the seat next to me and their open beer bottles right in front of me like they owned the place and I kindly asked them to leave because we were about to eat dinner. They had a temper tantrum and told me "I couldn't do that" and then accused me of "throwing" their shoes when I just put them down on the ground gently and told them we did not want them near us. then they yelled sexist slurs, there were small children right next to us. then they physically threatened my boyfriend and were berating my mother as well. they literally bullied and harassed us nonstop until being forcibly removed by a police officer, and we just had to sit there and do nothing. and NO ONE helped us. it was a fucking nightmare and really scary. imagine trying to have a nice relaxing day with the people you love the most in the world. and ending up humiliated, degraded, sick to your stomach, and feeling completely betrayed by an establishment i assumed would be apologetic and kind under these circumstances. shame on you mucky duck, everyone who watched the way you all handled this was uncomfortable and horrified. literally shameful.

The Mucky Duck was the perfect last dinner for our vacation, and to celebrate my wife's birthday! The food was outstanding, and the service was phenomenal. We saw the sunset right from our outside table. Captiva and Sanibel Islands were a great mini-vacation for our family!

Went to the Mucky Duck because it was the most highly recommended restaurant in Captiva. I can see why! Though it was busy, all of our food was worth the wait! We sampled the Grouper sandwich and the Grouper meal and both were delicious! I especially loved my sandwich. We also loved that the restaurant was right on the water so we didn't have to sacrifice any beach time.

Good food, good drinks, good prices, great ambiance and location. Parking is tight but we made it work with our Class B RV (23'). Highly recommend and we'll be back.

Neat experience. Lots of history. Great views. Service was okay. The food was okay. The prices are okay. Glad they survived the hurricane. From my understanding, they had some alteration in the menu that are missing (sad)

I feel like they're kinda turning it around? We had a couple bad experiences in 2018,2019. 2021 and winter 23 were good for fish and chips and grouper sandwiches again! (Following years of old oil taste on the fish/chips) Spring '24 we just went for snacks and drinks. Bloody Mary's are better now. The calamari might've been better with a couple more minutes, and we don't understand the value of the baked artichoke app but whatever. Service is always great and seriously, nothing beats the place for beach views even if you get one of the rear 'window' tables! IYKYK

We stopped by for a lunch at the monkey duck this afternoon. The location is beautiful, the food is average. We sat outside at a table, overlooking palm trees, and the beach in the ocean. What a sight! We started with decent onion, rings, and then we had a grouper sandwich, and Seafood fried platter. The grouper was good but not great, just good fish. The seafood platter was uneven. One barbecue shrimp was fantastic, the fried fish stick made of cod was undercooked with some of the cod still raw. The fried clam strips were OK. The meal was an uneven. The service was really good. The setting was spectacular.

Best place to eat for sunset. The food was fresh, we were accommodated for a larger party. The live music was great. Get there early because they don't take reservations.

Amazing food and fun ambiance. I had the shrimp and scallop risotto and wow! Delicious!!!! A must try!!!

Classic beachfront drinking and dining, certainly not a "high class joint" but don't hold that against it. Good food, good beachfront vibe. It is what it is, and nothing more.

This place is amazing. Fantastic food and great service. It's small and the parking is tight, but it's so worth it! Oysters on the half-shell are a tasty start. The burgers and tacos make a very satisfying lunch. And the surf and turf makes it a perfect meal to watch the best sunset view on Captiva.

It's been around for as long as I remember. On Captiva island close to the end of the road. It survived Ian which was a major feat in itself. Sandy beach tables for those that want to self serve at the bar are directly on the beach. Next are the typical florida beach tables with bench's and an umbrella. Lastly inside ac dining when you need to cool off. Service was a bit bellow ok for me. We were outside so I decided to get our first cocktails from inside while we waited. Short on staff I am sure was the reason for our slow service. The grouper sandwich was the best I had. The grouper covered the bun and then hung off the entire bun. Yummy. I will be back. Its amazing that they survived Ian.

Cool restaurant if you aren't eating the food. Views are amazing and that's clearly what drives their business. Food is edible and that's about it. It could be an amazing spot, if they put a bit more effort and care into the quality and taste of the food they serve.

AMAZING view. Literally sit on a picnic table in the sand!! Also the fried grouper is HUGE and I love the breading isn't to heavy. The tartar sauce is different and I liked it. Also the coleslaw is good. I will definitely be back!

Really love this restaurant. It sits right on the Gulf of Mexico in Captiva florida. Plenty of seating outside. They usually have live music and a walk up bar outside. If you're a fan of seafood this is your place to come and try. The service is always great. They also offer burgers and chicken dishes. Love sitting here and looking at the view !

This place was amazing. Louanne (sorry if I miss spelled your name) our waitress was great she did a little joke with ketchup which was cool she had a great personality. She was very attentive. The place was nice , lay back, relaxing, right on the beach beautiful. Thank you had a great time and everything was amazing even desert.

Awesome, family friendly spot to grab a drink at sunset or a meal with your family. Every time we went in the afternoon there was live music. The vibe was great, food was delicious, and perfect for a crazy 2-year old who can't sit still!

Ambiance is all they have the food is all terrible We tried all the "best sellers" and they were one worse than the next. They have such an amazing location. They could put a little effort into the food. There's not really table service, but the bartenders were friendly.

45 minute wait to eat outside, even though there were empty tables! So we went inside. Food way overpriced, we went for a girls lunch, one hot dog (COLD), one chili dog, one cup chowder(meh) two steamed shrimp appetizers and one sandwich. NO DRINKS, just water ( horrible tap water) The tab $73 !!! Come on people!!! Just because you're on the beach? Now the little man parking cars insisted I pull into a tight angled spot, When I could have parked in a more convenient one, he insisted I park elsewhere. The waitress took way too long getting to take our order, but we ate and left her a $20 tip ! Will NOT go back again! If we had drinks, it would have been a $200 "Lunch" CRAZY Times! But the place was packed on a Saturday afternoon... people are paying it!!! This was my second trip there, Will NEVER go back again !

Restaurant is on the water with great views, indoor and outdoor seating available. They open at 11:30 for lunch and dinner. The staff were very nice and attentive. We had a party of four. Three had the fish and chips with a spinach salad. Salad was very fresh with mandarin oranges, nuts and bacon. The fish was okay. It appeared to be frozen fillets deep fried. I had a bacon cheeseburger. The bun was too big and hard so I only ate part of that. The burger was good but also appeared to be a frozen patty as it was very dense. For dessert we had the mango cheesecake. It was very good. We sat outside and enjoyed the view and the sounds of the osprey in the tree above. The indoor is like a pub atmosphere, very nice dark wood with views of the water. We love the area and will be back to try something new.

Dave's son was visiting us from Maryland and he hadn't been to Sanibel or Captiva, since he was very young. We also wanted to show him the devastation from Hurricane Ian along with the rebuilding. So we decided to take a ride with Freckles and son in tow. We heard that the Mucky Duck had reopened and when we got there the parking lot was overflowing. Saturday was a beautiful day with delightful cool breezes off of the gulf. We were able to get a table outside in about 20 minutes. They also have chairs lined up in the sand for you to sit on while you wait along with some picnic tables if you want to self serve. The guys wanted an IPA and some onion rings and I got a cup of clam chowder. We were seated under an umbrella and it was just breathtaking to look at the water. It's hard to believe that this area was underwater just 6 months ago! So we sat and enjoyed ourselves and the beautiful scenery before heading home.

Location is what makes this place special. It is right on the beach and is the perfect spot for watching the sunset. Lots of windows facing the beach and lots of outside seating as well. The food is very good. We had oysters on the half shell and they were outstanding. The boiled shrimp was excellent as well. My daughter had the coconut ship, my husband had grouper with piccata sauce and i had the salad with grilled grouper. All were excellent! There was live music the night we were there which made it even more special. There are outside games and chairs to sip on a drink while waiting on your table. Staff was quick, knowledgeable and attentive. Go for the atmosphere and stay for the food. You won't regret it!

Website said they have eat in or take out. We called to place an order for 8 after a long day of exploring Captiva. I was put on hold by 2 different staff members who couldn't answer the simple question "can I place a to go order". When a rude lad finally took me off hold he said "what's your order!?" I asked if I can call back when I have everyone's order?" He literally responded (and I quote) "i can take your order now but if you call back in 30 minutes the answer will be no!" He also hung up on me at this point. I've NEVER experienced such rude and disrespectful service in my 50+ years. Needless to say I did not place an order and WILL NOT EVER give this place my business. I'm sure they will survive without my business but I hope karma serves them as well as they served my family.

Excellent food and service the scallops were absolutely fantastic as well as the crispy shrimp were fabulous. The views were absolutely stunning

I have to start off my review by being honest: The day I went to The Mucky Duck, it was one of the Sundays in August where the toll to get over the bridge was paid for, courtesy Lee County. The Lee County Board of Commissioners / Lee County Visitor & Convention Bureau wanted to have a program in place for six weeks (August 6 to September 10, 2023), where each Sunday would be the day people could cross the Causeway in order to help locals build the community back up from the destruction caused by Hurricane Ian in the end of September, 2022. They called it "Savor the Shore". Three stars but hovering on 4, as this was the first time in for me. It was a long and winding trip of an interesting treat to get to the restaurant. I was told that people completely rave about this place and you are so lucky if you can get in, get fed and get out, as it gets packed from the jump. To think that remark was true even before Ian graced Southwest Florida. Seeing it now makes it even more so! I had gone with one other person, and we had planned the trip accordingly - we were going to get to The Mucky Duck before it opened so we could get a parking spot and get in line. Sure enough, by 11:15am, the lot was starting to get full. It was to the point a staff member was telling people where and how to park. I have to say, the guy was nice and didn't make a scene with anyone. He kept people moving and was polite enough to tell us that we needed to move up just another foot in our spot because we were a little too far into the turning lane for people to get by. Once we got it sorted, we got out of the car and got in line. About tenth in line we were, at this point in the morning. The restaurant opens promptly at 11:30, so expect quite the few people in front of you, if you think you can swing in at 11:25 and get first seating (good luck if you try to show up right at opening). By the time the doors were unlocked and the lunch bell rang, the amount of people waiting to get in was long. A few parties were hanging out at the outside tables, as you had a choice to eat a la sand or a la air conditioning. It being about 100° with humidity, my choice was "inside, please". If the Mucky Duck parking lot is tiny, then the inside is just as big. I think there were two dozen tables, maybe a little more, but nothing outrageous. There were more humans waiting for a table (both inside and out) than there may have been seating. Which I think speaks volumes for what this place is capable of. Like I said, people rave about it and if you don't get in and get a seat, you aren't going to get a meal. From the word go, the wait staff scurried around like the packed house is nothing out of the ordinary. Beverage orders were made, jokes were laughed at (thanks to our waiter, Chris, for pretending to spray ketchup on all of his patrons) and no one felt rushed to order / shovel their food in their mouth. Leave the bucket and trowel for the ocean view while sitting at a picnic table outside if you want to play with anything. How was the food, you might ask? The person I was with ordered a water and fried shrimp ("platter" of sorts - came with fries and coleslaw) while I ordered water and fish and chips (comes with fries and coleslaw). The waters were cold and the shrimp was crisp. By no means were the crustaceans tiny like their namesake. Each piece looked like they were on a healthy workout diet, built up with no additives, just living the breaded salty life dream. The fries were shoestring and the coleslaw was.. well... coleslaw - not overly mayonaissed but not under impressed. The fish wasn't overly battered but it was slightly difficult to cut into each of the three (good sized) pieces, as the meal gets served in a plastic basket with wax paper between the food and the basket. It almost felt like previously frozen battered fish (grocery store level), but the actual pieces of cod tasted better than it looked (they were flaky and warm). I would probably order it again to give it another chance. I like fish n chips, so maybe it was all the wall art distracting me from properly enjoying this fresh meal in front of my face. I'm sure the lines get slow in mid day, but by the time I left (around 12:45), the line of cars were still coming down the road pretty heavily and people were trying to get a space to park. I'd love to say I'd be back to try again, so maybe it's not as crowded during the week. I'd have to try then, and see where the menu might take me.

So much to say. This is my favorite of all the places we went in Sanibel/Captiva. The atmosphere is phenomenal, right on the beach! We sat outside, toes in the sand. The kids played cornhole and on the beach while waiting for food. The food was good, not overpriced like a lot of the island. Employees were super busy but friendly. Overall it was amazing. Parking is a bit of an issue, but just be patient and you will get a spot.

The male host was very rude and condescending to my dad when he was looking to buy a t shirt or hat. The restaurant was incredibly hot registering over 80 degrees on the thermostat. We sweat through our meal. Food was very average. Beautiful view and spot though.

La cerveza y comida y service es excelente a cualquier momento lo pasas súper especial

I didn't realize I have not written a review for Mucky Duck and I cannot believe I have not shared how amazing this place is!! This is located on Captiva Island right on the Gulf of Mexico. They are known for their amazing sunsets while eating dinner. It is by far busier at night mostly because of the sunsets and because most people are at the beach during the day. But if you have a free day, I would recommend going for lunch. They are cheaper and less busy. Your chances of waiting for a table at lunch is low but dinner you better go early and be prepared to wait. If you have to wait, they do have tables outside and a bar inside. You can sit outside with your cocktail and enjoy the weather. Sometimes they have local artist playing music outside and some little games for the kids. We visit every August and the Mucky Duck is always on our list. The food is so good. I think they have one of the best crunchy grouper sandwiches on the island. It is a must try. I also personally really enjoy the fish platter. It has fried clams, fried fish, BBQ bacon wrapped shrimp and steamed shrimp. It is the best of all kinds of seafood. Our family usually orders the same, the group sandwich or the platter. MY husband and sister are the ones that branch out. They have had their salads, which were large and very tasty. Last year my husband tried one of their specials, it was a seafood pasta and I can tell you he has talked about it for the whole year. He is hoping they have that again this year. It was more of a broth not a heavy sauce so it was light and full of seafood and vegetables. Most of the meals come with a side and as typical as it sounds, get the fries. They are crunchy and thin and just so yummy. Don't ask for a window seat! If you do, they have a running joke they have been doing for years and will bring you a window for your table :) This place is truly a hidden gem. Its on the beach so you think sandwiches and bar food but they menu is so much more. Fresh fish, salads, oysters, fish and chips, pasta, and even crab legs. You need to check this place out. I truly love a majority of the places on Captiva, and as much as I don't want to brag about them because I don't want them to be busier I have to brag about them. This location is a must. The parking is very tough but they have an attendant usually to assist with parking. If you are staying around the area, I would recommend using your golf cart or walking. Definitely check it out!

Good service and beach location ambiance with ample parking. The $6.50 40% proof wine margarita is pretty good however the lunch crunchy grouper ($27) is very overpriced kids portion, onion skin fish thickness really disappointing don't order this item. I rate about 3.5 stars.

Fantastic food, incredible prices and the best atmosphere on the island. I would highly recommend this place for anybody visiting it is a must.

Mucky Duck is okay, but very unremarkable. So so food, expensive, and resting on their laurels of a great location on the Gulf with sunset views. But the whole place seems tired.

The food was awful and disgusting. The service was mediocre at best. We ordered the seafood platter, shrimp sampler and the fried shrimp. It all tasted old and gross. The fried food tasted like cleaning supplies. It was absolutely disgusting. Our waiter took forever to get us our drinks. We had thought they had left because a different waiter brought out everything. After we had returned 3 meals the best they could do was take off the fried shrimp from the bill. Overall I would never eat here again. Absolutely terrible.

Told a relative we were headed to Captiva for the first time and they said make sure you stop and have a beer on the beach at Mucky Ducks, so we did! It was awesome! They have an outside bar you walk up to, it was great! There is inside seating too. Right on the beach! Loved it!

They need to put an 1.5 hr time on tables. People sit hold tables for hours. Worst organized restaurant.

Headed to Captiva for the day and had lunch at Mucky Duck! A classic relaxed oceanfront restaurant. Spinach salad, salmon and grouper sandwich all perfectly prepared. Service was fantastic. I really enjoyed everything about the experience. I felt sorry for our server having to deal with the retirees next to me complaining about their hot dogs.......

Good food. Fun atmosphere and our waitress was funny and helpful. Beautiful views of the ocean capped off our time there. Recommended.

The Mucky Duck was our go to in Sanibel - we went today for the first time back on the island since Ian - the service was awful- the servers were rude! apparently, they like their island without tourists - not a friendly welcome in sight - it was as if we were burdening them with our presence - the entire restaurant was empty - yet they wouldn't sit us until the entire party arrived we were 10 - 7 at restaurant 3 walking to restaurants - The three people working we saw at first couldn't be bothered - only to tell us we needed to wait - we had limited napkins - I had to stand up to get more , the blond waiter guy was super rude - I had to get up and go to the bar to refill our drinks literally empty the place and three of their servers/ workers sitting around talking

The Mucky Duck is a wonderful English pub, with a tremendous view of the Gulf of Mexico. The food here is truly outstanding. My family all dined here and not a single complaint. I tried everything of course. I ordered a seafood/shrimp pasta. It was the special. Not on the regular menu. Pasta was perfectly cooked. Shrimp was straight from the ocean.. totally fresh. Loved the broth. Depth of flavor. The spinach salad was delicious. You can order it a few ways. You can add chicken, seared shrimp, or grilled fish. We ordered it plain. The champagne vinaigrette absolutely made this salad. The crunchy grouper sandwich...truly was crunchy. Loved this sandwich. It's not oily at all. Moist on the inside. I squeezed a fresh lemon wedge on top and boom. Great meal. The seafood platter was a great blend of fried and steamed. Fried clams strips, fried shrimp, bbq shrimp. Deliciousness. Can't go wrong with this meal. The fries here are great. They come with the crunchy grouper and seafood platter. Each table has malt vinegar. I recommend using it on the fries and fried seafood. Makes it even that more delicious. All and all, my family and I will always be going to the Mucky Duck. We vacation in Captiva every summer. I look forward to August.

Great food and fun atmosphere. A perfect location right on the beach. plenty of parking spaces. Special thanks to COREY , our wonderful waitress . very professional, knowledgeable, patient and kind !

Food, service and sunsets on the beach are fantastic. There is live music and lots of laughter. Staff is attentive and fun. Kids enjoy it as well.

Right on the water! The food is very good. Every plate we saw pass us looked good. The prices were average for a restaurant but way below what you would expect for an island restaurant on the water.

Wednesday evening 4:45 pm. Inhospitable. Host made no eye contact just sat there as my friend and I stood directly in front of him. I had to approach and ask for seating. Denied table in the shade as we wanted cocktails and host said we had to order dinner. Multiple open tables outside. Inside hostess hesitated when we asked if we could just order cocktails. Seated us by the door and walked away again multiple open tables inside. Poor service and attitude. We left didn't order and won't return.

Always great food. Fish and chips are always delicious. The service at lunch, when we come, is always fast and attentive. The kitschy decor of collected buttons, FD/PD badges, and "British Pub" signage, including the snarky signs, are great. Never had a bad meal or time here.

I ordered the cheeseburger with chips while my spouse opted for the chili cheese dog. Both dishes were delectable, served promptly by our attentive server, Chris. The beers, served in frosted mugs, were refreshing and perfectly chilled. The restaurant boasts a clean and tastefully adorned ambiance with an assortment of buttons, patches, and "flair" adding a pleasant touch. Our window table provided a breathtaking view of the beach, making our dining experience even more enjoyable. We look forward to returning on our next visit to Captiva.

Hard to beat a beachside patio table at Mucky Ducks. As I captioned the photo attached, it is like living a Jimmy Buffet song. The food is way above average and the view/atmosphere is incomparable

Location is everything with this place. The food choices seemed fussy compared to the beachside vibe of the location. I expected more laid back dishes but it had a more formal menu than we expected. We had fish and chips and oysters Rockefeller from the appetizer menu. Most laid back things we could find. It was good and we loved the location and view but the outside looks like a surf bar, inside feels like an old British inn.

Best seafood and view on Captiva. Thank God they survived Ian in 2022. Fun atmosphere and great service and drinks. Indoors or outdoors you can't beat it
