Manatee Island Bar and Grill

Good plated portions. Live music, outdoor waterfront location. Can't go wrong.

Usually everything is so good that comes out of the kitchen..but fir some reason you rushed my coconut shrimp. Bow I know you have a timer that you use. Why weren't you using it or paying attention to it on the day I was so looking forward to these shrimp! You get one shot with me and you are done! You either get it right or that's it!! They were soggy...yuck!! Maybe next time..I hope I can come back after that...

Love this place. Great happy hours mid day and late night. Your going to really enjoy the food

Great place! The food is very tasty. The magi tacos are amazing and the sweet plantain are delicious. Will definitely be back!

SO, I'm from Pensacola and I was visiting my best friend and we went to Manatee Island. I ordered the Captain's Platter. Not sure what he ate that night, but I ate very well! ????I chose to have them fried it was a combination of two large Pollock I believe, perhaps Cod, three or four humongous sea scallops that literally melted in my mouth when I bit into it. I do wish I would have had them grilled however. And shrimp. I think 3 pieces but very large, like prawn size. I had to take half of my meal home. It was a little pricey at $25, but fabulous food.

I have never seen scallops that big, they were literally the size of a very large marshmallow. I would highly recommend eating here, or going there for drinks at sunset. It's on the water, and all windows slide open so it's like being on a deck while you're eating. I suppose it could be kind of romantic as well. Service was fabulous, it was kind of an off night being Sunday, but we got good attention from her.
