Worth visiting!

This is without a doubt the most laid back pub / restaurant I’ve been to in South Florida. The decor is totally crazy wierd, but it works. Well… sorta works. If I got the story right, the owner constructed the building out of bits and pieces of stuff he’s pulled out of the ocean. And it’s quite scary what’s out there…

There are toilet and tub planters and chairs, ropes and buoys hanging from the roof, and car tags, and various other bits and pieces all over the walls, which are built from rough pieces of wood. As are the tables. The classic rock is loud, but just soft enough for you to be able to hear your waiter. Dress code is shorts and flips flops – and it seemed to be t-shirt optional (for the guys)

Joel and I had great burgers and fries that we waited a long time for. We were warned by the guy who showed us where we could park that it takes an hour for your order to hit the table, but we didn’t care – the atmosphere was amazing. We wandered in, grabbed a drink and played some pool while we waited for a table, then chatted to one of the locals outside, and watched the boats go by while we waited. It’s the type of place you could just chill out at all afternoon – and we did.

Cool, cool, cool! We loved it!

Cool!

I think that was the title of my last comment too, oh well

It sounds pretty cool. How was the food? is it just bar food? Did you guys notice any vegetarian options on the menu? Sorry about all the questions, you sound so excited that I want to check it out too :)

And you saw and talked to a live local? In Florida? Woah! I’ve heard about them, they’re pretty rare ;)

Truly

a real live local. lol He was kinda scragly, had a tan that you can tell he’s had for a looooong time, and a little doggie companion sitting on the bench wth him. Really nice guy.

I actually didn’t see a menu at all in the place, so I can’t tell you if they have any veg options. (We just saw a newspaper article on the wall that said they had the best burgers in America, so we figured we’d give those a try) To be honest A, it doesn’t seem like the kind of place that would, but I could be wrong. I’ll do some googling and see if they have a menu somewhere.

Was there any algae or plankton present?

Plenty

in the intercoastal waterway. It’s a great view.
