Schooners

Great food. More rustic setting and no frills. Friendly and attentive staff. Get there near sunset and wait for a table/hi-top at the windows facing the beach... It's worth it... Plus you might be right next to the cannon...

We arrived at 615 pm and the wait for 2 was over an hour. Seats at the bar are first come first serve. So, we ended up sitting at the bar and ordered drinks, a cheeseburger, grilled chicken and fries. The food came out very quickly and tasted great! Michael, the bartender, was amazing and attentive. This was our first time at Schooners and we will definitely be back!

6pm on a Wednesday and it is crazy busy. Was told 30 minutes for a table but it took a little over 45. Sounds like a negative experience, right? Not at all. The other patrons waiting were fun to talk to and the views were amazing. The entire staff were humming along in high gear and were all very friendly and helpful. The food was fantastic! Its a definite don't miss if you are in the area. We will absolutely return!

I started out with the walnut spinach salad, and it was really really good. The cranberries were super sweet! Then I had the grouper and shrimp, my two Gulf favorites. It was all cooked to perfection, and the breading was perfect. While the prices were commensurate with being directly on the beach, it did still have a really cool local vibe as opposed to being just the touriisty kind of place. My server was very attentive and I wanted for nothing.

Grouper sandwich is what keeps us coming back!!
