The food overall was decent. The gumbo I had was delicious, but the rest of the dishes were just average. While everyone else seemed satisfied with their meals, no one was overly thrilled. The presentation was a bit disappointing, with appetizers served on paper plates; I had higher expectations.

On a positive note, the service was outstanding! Our waitress was attentive and efficient, even during the busy 6 pm rush. We didn't have to wait for a table for four, which was fantastic. Additionally, the views from the restaurant were beautiful.

I'm willing to give this place another chance soon. It wasn't terrible, but it didn't wow me either. With great service and lovely views, they have the potential to improve the overall experience.

We reserved a table for 6 at this restaurant on a Thursday night. The place was packed but we were seated. It's got a very chill feel to it, there was live music and really pretty over head lights. There's also outdoor dining as well.

It took 45 minutes to get our drinks (6 waters and a tea) and another 45 minutes for food. Our orders came out at different times so one of our friends didn't receive their meal until around 2 hours after our arrival. They were extremely understaffed, but acknowledged that we were waiting a long time - our waitress was stressed and the kitchen was behind. However, we got a free bread pudding and a free meal as compensation for our wait.

BUT, the food was amazing. Hands down the best dinner I've had on the island this vacation. Most of the table had side salads which were of decent size and quality. I ordered a bowl of gumbo and the sweet Thai shrimp. Both were delicious. They had their own Asian slaw and their gumbo wasn't spicy. The other dish pictured is the Islanders seafood plate - we chose to get blackened Cobia fish - it wasn't dry and was the right texture. I highly recommend going when it's not busy!

Islanders was “ok”. Initial impressions when driving up were not great- lots of “stuff” stored underneath the building. Went upstairs, promptly greeted but informed of a 30 minute wait, although 6 tables were empty…something about staffing issues. We were advised that we couldn’t wait inside, we know it’s hot out, we’ll call you when a table is ready. Nice outside seating on the deck was closed and not being used - maybe due to the staffing issue. We were seated after 30 minutes but took a while to be noticed. In fact a party that was seated after us had drinks before we were acknowledged. Anyway, we’re not in a big rush…. By now we had plenty of time to pick from the menu so we ordered drinks and food all at once. The waitress had RBF…look it up, and I’ll leave it at that. They seemed to be well staffed but totally disorganized. Drinks came out soon enough but a bit sloppy. Food came out quickly enough but out of a party of 5, one person didn’t get their food. Couple other adjustments, no big deal. Food was hot, quality was decent, no issues there. The waitress tended to us and kept drinks filled. Our 5th person finally got food. Overall an “ok” 4- star experience.

I had adjusted my expectations due to the reviews, but ya gotta eat, right. I was pleasantly surprised with the Fried Shrimp Basket. It was fresh and lightly battered, not overly seasoned served with freshly made Coctail Sauce. Staff was friendly and had the local vibe you’d expect. Nice layout and deck too.

Attached a picture of the seafood basket. It comes with fish and hush puppies. As you can see the plate identifies as a basket. It's quite sad looking. Probably the most lackluster place on the island. For our party of six the only thing that looked decent was the po boy. Definitely recommend pirates seafood for a sit down place or skinners if you want to take it home.

We had a great late-afternoon lunch here. After some time at the beach we are hungry and in need of much liquid refreshment. We had a dog with us so we sat outside on the deck. I had buffalo shrimp, which were crispy and flavorful. They were a bit greasy but it didn’t bother me. My son had wings and they were great. Our server did an excellent job. It was a satisfying dining experience.

We stopped by this place after a beach day because it seemed to be the only place that allows dogs on the Island. I’m so glad we did. Everything was so delicious. Food was fresh and they even accommodated us on the front patio even though they looked to be slammed in the dining area and back patio already. Our server didn’t skip a beat despite it getting busy.

Sampler Platter App 10/10
Gumbo 10/10
Shrimp PoBoy 9.5/10 only because I wish it came with a remoulade, but still perfectly breaded and delicious.

We will be back, thanks for having us. ????????

We were seated promptly. The food was delicious. It was served warm and tasty. Dessert were exceptional. It was the best key lime pie I ever ate. We were full and satisfied when we left.
