We are from out of town and had the best service I have ever had anywhere. Definitely going to try to come back before we go home. Try the gator- blacked or fried. Ask for the lemon pepper sauce for dipping. To die for. Good views and great food.

Visited this spot to try fried&blackened gator for the first time and it was great!! The taste was flavorful and the fries were nicely seasoned. I stopped by after the tour of the Everglades right on the same dock which was also great. The whole park is very beautiful and the people are very nice

Old Florida at its best. We stopped in for breakfast and found a quiet place with outdoor seating with a view of the lake that felt like we were in a nature preserve. No fuss, no frills. Just great food and friendly staff (and a full bar). Camry couldn’t have been nicer. This is a place we will be going back to again and again.

I Got the catfish/Gatorbite plate and it was more than enough food, the catfish had a delicious batter and the Blackened gator bites were amazing! The owner kept the place open just so we could eat and the service was excellent, very nice and outgoing!

I would like to preface by saying that I never leave reviews unless I am genuinely impressed. We are from out of town and our friend group really wanted alligator bites, so after a quick google review, we found Captain and Tequila. We weren’t sure what time they closed, but after a quick call, even though they were supposed to close at 5, they were willing to seat us. When we got there, Camry greeted us and got us sat outside. She was absolutely phenomenal the entire time. When you visit, make sure you ask for her! I got the blackened alligator bites to share with my husband and a cheeseburger. The food was absolutely delicious and reasonably priced. With how beautiful the weather was and how great the service and food were, I was so surprised we were the only party. I genuinely loved the atmosphere here and will definitely be returning the next time we’re here!

Hidden Gem Alert: The Perfect Lakeside Escape! This place is one of those rare “great kept secrets” that you almost don’t want to share… but I have to, because it’s just too good. Tucked away in the marina with absolutely stunning lake views, it feels like your own private waterfront oasis the moment you walk in. The vibe is effortlessly cool: indoor seating with windows overlooking the water, and a fantastic outdoor terrace where you can dine right by the boats as the sun sets. Whether you’re inside soaking up the ambiance or outside with the breeze off the lake, every seat feels special. The menu keeps it simple but hits every craving spot-on: Breakfast served ALL DAY LONG (fluffy pancakes, omelettes, bacon & eggs however you like them) Juicy burgers (classic cheeseburger, bacon, veggie options) Grilled hot dogs with all the fixings Crispy fish & chips with tartar sauce and French fries Plus a full bar stocked with cocktails a great selection of ice-cold draft beers on tap. Perfect for washing down that burger while watching the boats glide by. What really sets it apart are the themed nights – tonight happened to be Salsa Night with a live DJ Food portions are generous, everything tastes fresh, service is warm and quick, and the prices feel like a steal for the location and quality. Whether you’re rolling in at 10 a.m. for breakfast with a view, grabbing a burger and a beer at lunch, or staying late for one of their special nights, this spot nails it every time. Do yourself a favor and go – day or night. Just don’t tell too many people… let’s keep this gem a little secret a while longer 5/5 – Already planning my next visit!

What a great place! Food is exactly what you'd expect: cooking like your mom would make and definitely fills a hungry spot. I had a BLT and very much enjoyed it. The staff is absolutely amazing. Camry was our server while we there and she is just about the loveliest human being. We also chatted with the owner, and based on our interaction with her, it appears that lovely human beings are just part of the charm of this place. Great views of the water too! Lots of birds of all different kinds, some turtles..fantastic. This will be our go-to place when we are in Kissimmee.
