I‘ve been trying new places since this year started. As you can see the food was so good we couldn’t wait to eat it. This is place #27 and I must say this spot is my #1 spot. I was looking for somewhere my puppy can go with too after a trip to the park. He loved it, he’s learning not to jump on people. He got to excited and jumped on my server and she didn’t even stress it, she was friendly with my dog and me. The water really relaxed us, made the experience 10x better. We ordered two Crushes, they were not as strong as we like them but, well blended. The Wings and the Calamari were delicious. The hot wings were not spicy as we like it but, crispy and tasty! The burger was the best burger we’ve had in a while. My chicken sandwich came with crab dip, and it tasted like they used REAL crab meat! Definitely going back to try more on the menu! I see now they are open for breakfast/brunch and I am excited to try it. I need to check in to see if they offer any rewards, I found my go-to spot. This will be a place where they get tired of seeing my face!

Excellent lunch here today. Plenty of dock space for a dock and dine. Sat outside with our dogs and had some amazing steamed shrimp! Great food, service, and atmosphere. Plenty of menu options. We need to come back soon and try some other entrees.

Fantastic place to eat! We had some conch fritters and they were excellent! I ordered the lump crab salad with ginger dressing and it was very fresh. Everything tasted great. We sat inside but they have a great outdoor place to sit and look out into the harbor. I recommend for sure!

Great deal! Cute place, easy to park. Pizza is so big we took half of it home. Place filled up by dinner time which tells you a lot.

Great out of the way place. We had appetizers, they were good. Decent prices. The drinks were great and priced well. Highly recommend the key lime crush! Upper tiki bar was small but great service.

Hard Yacht Cafe is a little out of the way for me, so I’ve only been a couple times. The outdoor seating is great, and our waitress was great. We ordered tacos and the HYC Egg-rolls. The food was good quality and it tasted awesome. I need to make the effort to get there more often; I totally love the place.
