Natalie was awesome! Super efficient and the food was great!!! Tarpons are so cool!!!
Natalie did a fantastic job. We had a group of 5 teens and an adult and she was patient and enthusiastic. The lobster tail was great.
Great service And food The ambience specially after a long day of fishing in the fishing capital of the word
Came around 11:30 on a weekday for lunch. No wait outside with a great view! Came to feed the Tarpon's at Robbies, ate at the Hungry Tarpon instead! Blackened mahi sandwich with Pretzel roll was fantastic- fresh and well seasoned. Blackened mahi tacos "10/10" from hubby. Natalie is a rockstar! Quick service with a smile:)
Natalie was great as our server and helped us really appreciate watching the pelican and tarpon feeding show while we enjoyed our food and drinks!
Great atmosphere and great food! We loved the Southwest Blackened Mahi salad, lobster mac and cheese and fish and chips. I know it's a big tourist spot so I didn't have really high expectations for the food but it more than exceeded them! Staff was friendly and service was pretty quick. Be sure to feed the tarpons, that's definitely a fun part of the experience!
Made reservations for a larger party and was seated right away by Lindsey. Nicole was our waitress and was right on top of refills. The lobster bisque soup has great flavor! Food was quick to come out for our large party. Everyone loved their meal choices. Would def recommend this place!
Such a great place. The views are extraordinary! There is outdoor seating and some indoor space, as well. This entire location is like a shopping village and a restaurant, as well as a coffee/ice cream trailer. It reminded me of South of the Border along 95, but with better merchandise and a tropical vibe. It's a great place to stop. You can feed fish and see pelicans too. There is ample parking, but this is a busy place. Ricky was our server and she was fantastic. Very friendly and very knowledgeable of the menu. She was super busy but never made us feel rushed. The food & drinks were FABULOUS!!! Get the trailer trash bloody!! So good. Everything that was ordered was amazing. Several different types of fish sandwiches were ordered, conch fritters, and sweet potato fries - all delicious. It is incredibly delicious and fresh. It was amazing that every single thing we ordered was just fantastic. Great place to stretch your legs, shop, get terrific food and just chill!
Friendly waitstaff. Service was outstanding and attentive. For was wonderful. Biscuits and gravy were very good. The Glaze Donut French Toast was out of this world. Eggs and sausage & scallion potatoes were wonderful. Ambiance on the waterfront perfect. Nice breeze coming in. Heaters were on and felt good on this morning. A must not miss. Gift shops, kayaking, boat rides. Perfect. Can get very busy.
My beautiful wife & I tried the Hungry Tarpon this evening. Overall it was good. Service was fast & friendly. The food came out very quickly & hot. We had an appetizer of fried Mac & cheese which went very well taste wise with the marina sauce. My wife got the hummus platter which was overall good but could have used more garlic & lemon. I got the fish & chips. It was decent but not great. The fries were fine, the fish was ordinary not bad but nothing to rave about. My wife however gave VERY high marks to the coleslaw. She is a connoisseur of this item & really enjoyed it. We liked it but didn't love it hence the 4 stars.
