I was on vacation with my boyfriend and this place looked pretty good considering it was right on the beach. Our server was really friendly and personal (we are from Michigan and so was our server). I'm vegetarian and I didn't feel like much of a selection for me but that's alright I didn't know. We ordered a basket of fries, a mai tai (yummy), and both ordered quesadilla. The fries were meh but my quesadilla was really good considering it was just a cheese one. Our food came out very fast even though it was close to dinner time.
I suggest sitting outside if you can, an awesome view of the beach and sunset. I'd definitely come back if I lived there.
Stopped to eat hear because we wanted to enjoy the sunset . I had the oysters Rockefeller which is an appetizer and was so pleasantly surprised;huge enough to be an entree. Â Don't remember what everyone else had,but my dish was memorable and I can't wait to go back to Ft.Myers to savor it again !
Review Source:Firstly, we had been going here for the last 10 years and never missed it on a trip by far was the best place on FMB, but our last visit was about to be our last- it was sad in 2010 how down hill it had gotten- BUT on a whim decided to try ONE more time and get a pizza- WOW! Â Best Pizza on the island hands down, gourmet, fresh, service was awsome! Â AND best of all they have revamped and cleaned it up to be even better than our first visit here - Clean, bright, Â spacious, always a great view! Â Expanded indoor and outdoor seating, just fabulous! Â Junkanoo is the casual beachcomber joint with a pool table, Lobster claw game (yes you actually catch live lobsters in a game and they will cook it for you!), full bar, and even "champagne" by the glass! Â Full service restaurant and a stone hearth pizza parlor! Â Plus it's located mid island, so the traffic is not so bad as near Time Square, but still an easy walk up the beach to everything! Â Adults, families, and teens will love this place! Â Sooo glad you're back Junkanoo! Â Also, loved the bluesy and classic rock jams! Â Keep it up!
Review Source:This place is a wanna-be Lani Kai. Tables
Are crammed in together. Not sure if this is a pizza parlor or a fine dining establishment. Service was just ok. Food was just ok. If you are a kid on vacation or a cougar looking to meet old men then you might like this place. Otherwise go to carribean pearl cause that place rocks.
In a word, overrated. The location is great and the views are spectacular, but that doesn't compensate for the schizophrenic decor (like someone dumped a sports bar and pizza joint in the middle of my grandmother's house) and the subpar food.
The Fire Cracker Shrimp were, by far, the highlight -- followed closely by a Shrimp and Crab Wrap, which hit the spot.
Three of us got variations on the fish sandwich: one with the Fish of the Day, a Grouper Sandwich, and a Grouper Reuben.
The Grouper was waaaay more fishy than other spots where we've had grouper -- and so was a little hard to enjoy, despite very fresh tomatoes and good ciabatta bread.
The regular Fish Sandwich fared better in our tasting, but we'll never know what "mystery fish" we ate. When we asked our server Charles what the fish of the day was, he said: "I dunno, I wasn't here when the truck came in." His response to our suggestion that he go find out: "I don't go into the kitchen unless I have to." Wow. Really?
The coup de grace: after delivering the check, Charles tried to backpedal off his earlier rudeness, taking the time to awkwardly linger at our table and explain that all of the seafood comes in fresh every day.
That is just great to hear, Charles -- but how could I know that? I wasn't here when the truck rolled in. And, you know what else? I don't go into my wallet for a tip if I don't have to. :)
Left my wallet on the table. Â DL, CCards all gone. Â MY FAULT. Not happy with their effort to help me find it. Â Produce the busboy. Â Rip open the garbage bag where bus boy would have thrown garbage. Â Or a quick check of the tops of the garbage recepticles would have been nice. Â Cash lost? Just a hundy. Â DL CCards all the little things in there.eeeeeerrrrr. Would sure have liked to talk to the busboy, they didn't offer me a minute to with him. Â Food OK. Â Sunset awesome. Don't be a dummy, sit outside.
Review Source:Really great place. Â The wait staff was mediocre, but the food was really good. Â It seems odd for me to say this as a mid-westerner but the ribs were so AMAZING that they may be the best ones I have ever had... Literally. Â Also, the location makes it a great place to pop into after walking down the beach, and the deck is the perfect place to watch the sunset.
Review Source:You should ONLY order drinks here! The location is wonderful but food is JUNK  just like sign says. I had the stuffed shrimp and they were not fresh. Also the  sauce was like a dirty brown gravy. She said it was homeade but homeade doesn't mean from a packet. My husband had the grilled frozen fish with a small scoop of hard jasmine rice. The warm coleslaw was old and tart and when we tried to send it back twice, they just kept telling us that it was there special homade batch! I should have known better when the place is dead on a Sat. night.
Review Source:Me and the girl picked this place the other night for a late dinner. The location as others have pointed out is great. We chose to sit outside and the view is great. The only thing that was slightly odd was how dark it was. I understand that sitting outside at night that its going to be a little dark, but it was so dark that we couldn't actually see everything we were eating. It would have been nice to turn out a light or two but that is just me. Â I ordered the Black & Blue flat-bread which turned out to be a great choice. It had good flavors and a great crust. The lady got the
Macadamia Coconut Grouper . She said that it would have been a really great dish but she felt there was too much onion in the salsa on top...she said it may have been more personal taste but it overpowered the entire meal. Â
Overall we were pleased with the choice and the atmosphere. I would recommend it if your on the island.
Wow what a perfect spot to watch the sunset! Â Great locale with a nice atmosphere.
We had the macadamia nut grouper with jasmine rice which was good.
Their NY style white pizza was one of the best I've had! Â My mixed drink was light on the liquor.
Their cheese bread appetizer was great too!
Kind of expensive,appetizer, pizza, grouper and two kids meals, & my mixed drink added up to right at 80.00. Â However, that seems to be the going rate for a meal in the area.
Wait staff wasn't very friendly but did her job well.
Great beach view and atmosphere. I've experienced quality service and pretty good food. Â The BLT contains the most bacon I've ever seen. Not just crap bacon but thick smoked bacon. Â And I can honestly say that the Buffalo Chicken Tenders were the best I've ever had. Good for kids and groups, very very casual but what a view.
Review Source:Location location location! Â Where I'd rate the decor a 3, the food a 4, and the view a 7...I overall gave this place a perfect rating.
My husband and I recently re-located to Ft. Myers Beach for a limited time, and we were looking for a great place to eat lunch with a view. Â We picked this local spot not too far from where we are staying.
Not only are the prices reasonable, but the food was great! Â We both had the mussels, and for "appetizer" portions they were HUGE! Â Bigger than full meal servings of mussels we've had at other restaurants. Â My husband got the Garlic Butter Mussels with extra garlic and enjoyed them. Â I had the Portuguese Mussels (I think that was the name of them) and they were AMAZING! Â A must order when you go. Â One warning is this: At certain times Ft. Myers Beach has more fly traffic...and they love the mussels too...it didn't stop us from enjoying our meal though so don't hesitate to order the mussels if you're a mussel fan!
We did see other people eating and everyone was ordering different food which is great to see it's not just one or two favorite dishes here. Â Servings are really plentiful, so if you're a light eater, share a meal with someone and save yourself on the bill b/c you will get full. Â I saw a wrap and definitely would not be able to eat the whole thing myself.
We ended up going back later that day for a couple of drinks and to enjoy the view...the bar overlooks the ocean as well as the outside seating. Â You can see everyone enjoying their days on Ft. Myers Beach...just a real great spot. Â While we were there Mike the bartender gave us some other great spots to check out on the beach as well. Â Really friendly staff there. Â Afterwards, we walked out the back door and took a stroll down the beach, so bring your suits if you're looking for a little something to do after you eat!
Oh, and we heard that on Sundays they have a good breakfast there...and $1 Bloody Mary's! Â So we'll def be heading back again soon.
This is a great place with lots of room for friends and family. It's right on the beach so our 2 year old was completely content looking out at the water while we ate.
The service was prompt and courtious. The Volcano Rolls were amazing along with the Garlic Knots. The pizza was a little too greasy for me; but hey, it's pizza! The Greek Salad was excellent.
We will definitely be coming back next time we're in Ft. Myers!
I'm lucky enough to have a sister that lives on Ft. Myers Beach and this is our go-to place always!!
For the locals, it's a solid bar with a great staff, lots of great drink choices and super good food!
It's a meeting place, a fun place, a beach place. Â Everything it should be!
There is access to the beach, just walk through, Hell, take your drink with ya!
There is a fancy restaurant upstairs, if you're into that sort of thing...:)
They have music and pool and one of those claw machines that you can pull live lobsters out of !! Â I personally have won 2.. ok, my brother caught one, and my ex boyfriend caught the other, but I reaped the rewards!!
They have great food! Â The seared Ahi Tuna app is so yummy, even being the biggest burger chick I know, I could eat this every day!
If you get to the beach, you have to go here. Â You just have to!
