The food looks outstanding my only complaint would be the prices 💵 but that’s par for the course these days unfortunately.

I don't know if you travel outside your comfort zone but I would suggest Biloxi, Mississippi (in off season October/November) and stay at the Margaritaville Hotel right on the water. Beautiful hotel and off season rates are low and the temperatures are in the 70/80s. An added bonus is New Orleans is 1 hour away. Worth a thought.

I remember back in 2014 my husband and I had went to the Island when they were building it and we got picked to do a test run at Margaritaville that day. The food and drinks were pretty good then. Every time we go back to the Island I’m always amazed at how much has been added on since we were there at the beginning of it.

Thanks for the video! What was that blue building that was behind you in the beginning when you were walking? Was that the hotel? It was so cute! When I was a drinker, I stuck to vodka, and I absolutely LOVED that Watermelon Wave! But I would have loved to have tried the kids drink (Parakeet Punch). It had all the fruits in a lemonade - sounds better than most drinks ever! The restaurant is so relaxing looking and very island-y! And they had me at Bundt cake. LOL I just love those bundts! Unfortunately, Artichoke is like Brussel Sprouts to me - I tried & tried over the years; still can't stomach either. hehe

my wife and I went back to get a burger (which was very good) but strangely, when we walked into the restaurant, we smelled sewer. it stunk so bad we asked to be moved toward the back to get out of the stinky area. It was a bit better in the back but still not completely gone. We later talked to another person/patron who said he smelled it too and knew exactly what we were talking about. The waitress said there was a problem, and the management was aware of it and they were trying to fix it. My personal opinion is that it doesn't seem like they are doing anything about it because this is the second time we went in there and smelled this awful smell. we decided if we do go back, we are gonna either get takeout or eat outside on patio. Aside from that, to be honest, they do have good burgers there! Just my thoughts. 🙂

I've only been there once and that's all it took to completely turn me off to the place. We went on a Saturday night. They let so many of us in the doors it was literally shoulder to shoulder. People were standing around everywhere waiting for a table. I use a wheelchair due to Muscular Dystrophy and had more than one person bump into me and one elderly man tripped and nearly sat on my lap lolololololo. We FINALLY got a table and out of nowhere this person was trying to walk through all that chaos on STILTS...I thought we would surly see somebody die....we ordered our food...it was decent but wayyyyyyy over priced. By the time we left there I was a complete nervous wreck and vowed to never go back! 😅😂😅

We have not gone in several restaurants because the reviews are just that bad. We don't want to spend our money on places that are not any good. Appreciate the question.😎😎
