“Pretty good food for fast food, it's nice to have some different stuff to choose from. None of the burgers come with fries, but they have some different flavors of fries to choose from. The soda machine only had zero sugar flavors when we were in there. Worth giving a “

“We went on the dinner cruise and the crew was incredible, the food was delicious and the sunset on the water was beautiful. The crew was very attentive and the drinks were perfect. The dinner was prime rib, with your choice of the perfect amount of pink (or no pink), rosemary chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy, a medley of vegetables, dinner roll and key lime pie for dessert. I highly recommend this cruise!“

“Just ate here today. Pouring rain and we had a party of 4 adults and 5 kiddos. Perfect timing as we got sat right away. MMMM good. We all did breakfast/brunch and it was very reasonable for a beach/water setting. Cute little area also. The bakery across the way was awesome as well. Would definitely like to do dinner and some outdoor dining here as the dinner menu looked fresh and great.“

“I drove past this place and saw the sign said "best ribs in America" and thought I'd check it out and see if i agreed.We've eaten there twice now and I completely agree. We had the family meal that came with four racks of ribs, coleslaw, baked beans, and bread. They can keep the sign, they're the best ribs I've ever had.If you have trouble ordering online, try calling. If you can't get though calling after a while just stop in to the store to place your order. They got my food ready in about 5 minutes.“

“Located inside The Rookery Golf Club. It's a nice golf course with pristine everything probably because it's owned by JW Marriott. We decided to sit on the patio which was screened in. It's nice because it gives you enough shade and free from bugs experience. The patio gives you a nice view of the golf course. Very relaxing. The kids meals are huge portions. I got the protein bowl and that was just what I needed on this day, something healthy and light. Our server was friendly and we had a good experience all in all.“

“I love coming here for breakfast after a long walk on the beach. The food is always good and the prices are great.You have to have a Marco Island Beach residence pass to park so if you do not, you can get to the restaurant by walking on the beach and going in on that side.It's a fun place to go. It's basically a restaurant stand where you order your food and eat outside at a table. They have some covered tables and lots of tables with umbrellas.“

“Not five star dining but a five star breakfast/lunch diner style eatery. The service was efficient and friendly. Portions and prices seemed fair for this inflationary economy. Typical menu. Their hash is home made. The coffee was just right. Everything appeared clean and sanitary. Hoot's is a good place to check out!“

“This isn't correctly located on the map so I can see how it may be misleading for access for some. Service times can run long at peak without a reservation in the restaurant area, but they also run all the poolside/chair service from the one kitchen, so A for effort there. Personnel are friendly, attentive, and good at remembering people around for a vacation or season. Menu items can frequently be out of stock“

“Love this location! Food is good and we manage to get the same server every time. She is amazing and remembers her customers and what they like. I forgot her name but will take it next time. Same applies to the warm and friendly hostesses. They are always smiling and friendly.“

“Absolutely perfect! We celebrated our engagement at Ario and are very happy with our choice. Every bite was savory and delicious, living up to the Ario hype. The ambiance was upscale, calming and tasteful. The staff are approachable and seek to make the dining experience a lovely one at that. Highly recommend !“

“My family and I had come to Marco island for my husband's birthday weekend. We decided to eat here at CJ's on the Bay and the food was absolutely amazing very flavorful and well seasoned. The steak was cook to perfection and the Mahi Mahi we so delicious the rum butter was just excellent and the pasta languini was fantastic. I can 100% say this place is a definite if your in Marco Island.“

“We weren't exactly sure what a biker bar would be like a couple of weeks ago when we were in Florida visiting relatives--but we were hungry and went in. We went to the part behind the bar to get a table and the waitress brought us menus. She was friendly, nice and knowledgeable. All four of us ordered the grouper sandwich; three with onion rings and one with fries. it took awhile to get the food but that's because perfection takes a little time! When our food arrived-it was hot and delicious! I love onion rings when they are done right and these were great! The bun was toasted and warm and the grouper was absolutely fabulous-the best I've had. Our relatives were excited to have another great place to eat and we are looking forward to our next trip to Florida and Gator's Crossing's Grouper sandwiches! Becky S“

“Was very windy and chilly when we visited, our out of town friends wanted to have a cocktail overlooking the ocean, bad choice, the gulf is off in the distance and too far to hear. Service was very slow and an employee keeps visitors from walking onto the sand if your not staying at the hotel, they say it keeps people from using their parking lot to only use the beach, and I do understand, but maybe they can validate parking for guests spending $7.50 for a pint of domestic beers and let us put our feet in sand and take a photo or two. Don't know if we'll visit again because I'm handicap and the stairs are rough for me.“

“I was an employee in 1990!How can I NOT Love The Bird!!!I walk through every now and then for giggles. Occasionally, I STILL see one or more of you sitting at the Bar! Nobody remembers me. It's kinda trippy.Well...it's been over 30 years! That's more years than some of the current employees!But, I Never forget a Face....or what you drink!Cheers!“

“Love the consistency of the food and the wait staff. Only reason for 4 stars is that they don't treat regulars the same when it gets busy - seems like they don't recognize you and don't accommodate regulars who order the same things repeatedly and just want to get in and out.“

“Been a patron since grand opening! Over the years the food has been mostly consistent but service completely unpredictable. I order the same thing every time but sometimes it comes out differently? The only predictable server is Gia who always remembers my order and provides an impeccable dining experience. Last week I had a different server with terrible attitude. Spoke with manager who informed me that I could request Gia as my server. Back today, got Gia and life is good!! Recommend you ask for her and guarantee you won’t be disappointed! As a Army Veteran, I thank Gia “for her service”…Thanks Gia for the numerous wonderful dining experiences courtesy of you!!!?“

“Dolly, our wonderful server, was amazing--warm, friendly, attentive, and welcoming! We loved the delicious breakfast/brunch buffet. We can't wait to come back again. Thank you so much, Dolly, for your excellent service! Jenny & “

“This was our first visit to Verdi American bistro in Marco island. We were outdoors adjacent to the parking lot. The noise level was high, but it was a beautiful evening and we did get a glimpse of the Sunset. Our waiter, James, was excellent. He checked on us often. Food was excellent. I had the duck and my wife had Chilean Seabass, Prepared to perfection. “

“We are from Michigan and we went here with my aunt for dinner. Everyone was friendly. I had the triple fin fish entree with risotto which was great. My wife and aunt had the fish and chips dinner. The inside of the restaurant was a little outdated and the location was unfortunately not on the water. My aunt knew all the servers personally.“

“Sat out in the outdoor back space. Music was great, area was great. I had the grouper sandwich and it was PERFECT. Our bartender was the sweetest guy. Would recommend to anyone to give this place a try. You can’t tell from the front just driving by how cool it is!“

“I'll be honest. I wasnt expecting much for a sports bar in a strip mall in a tourist destination but I'm glad that I didnt judge this place by that fact... I came in with two other adults and four kids for lunch. Despite the large party, we were seated immediately outside and a server came right over. The menu looked pretty good at face value with some good takes on bar food. We ordered the buffalo tots (awesome), boneless buffalo wings, the soft pretzel, the seared ahi, and a bunch of kids meals. The buffalo sauce they use here is not normal, overly thick buffalo sauce. Whatever it is, its awesome. The buffalo tots with the blue cheese crumbles were really, really good. The soft pretzel was massive and was clearly just baked. The food came out really fast which is usually not a good sign but the I was wrong again. The kitchen must have just clocked in for the spring break lunch rush. Like I said, I wrongly had low expectations for no good reason and I stand corrected. I really, really liked this place.“

“Walked here every morning for a week to get coffee to go, stopped a couple times for breakfast as well. Everything is a great price, especially with all the surrounding places being expensive.I only wish the eggs Benedict were a little better, and more coffee options were available.Everyone is very friendly as well, very kid-friendly“

“From the parking lot, we weren't sure what to expect but gracious hosts welcomed us with a tour and choice of table areas. Seafood was excellent and service pleasant and efficient. Definitely want to try again as the pizza smelled amazing too.“
