The Rod & Gun Club

It's OK I suppose. At least it's not all deep fried stuff and some of the food is fresh.

Our server didn't seem as polished as the rest we'd had in Florida, maybe she was in training. It was quite funny actually, we felt that she didn't really want to be working that night.

It's a nice setting on the waterfront and the drinks are cheap and was just across the road from our B&B.

It's cash only.

I've been wanting to go to the R&G for several years, but have always found something else to do or somewhere else to go, due, in part, to the luke warm reviews on Yelp and elsewhere.  I'm glad we finally went.

We didn't stay there, so no comment regarding accommodations.

We walked around inside for a while, taking in the ambiance which is wonderful.  We sat at one of the bars and had a beer and conch fritters.  The conch fritters were actually quite good.  We squeezed some lime on them and a bit of cocktail sauce.  Beer selection is poor.  They don't even have Heineken even though they have a Heineken neon sign on the wall.  I suffered with a Bud, but it was better than I remembered.

We glanced at food that was served to other customers.  It all looked good.  Nothing spectacular, but not the swill some other reviews implied is served there.

We found the staff to be quite pleasant.  The woman bartender chatted with us.  Other staff members smiled, said, "hello," and were generally nice.  We'll probably go back for a full meal next time.

We spent two nights at the rod and gun club and really enjoyed our stay.  Our cottage was recently remolded and loved the screened in porch with water views.  We did have one dinner and breakfast at the restaurant.   Both were good (not bad/not great) and priced accordingly to the other restaurants we tried. Due to the beautiful views and really cool historic interior, I would recommend trying this place.   Please note it is a CASH only establishment.
