    Being a weeknight, the restaurant was not busy - < 25% occupancy. Not sure if they have less staff during the week but it was SLOW. Our server was NICE but we waited a solid 15 minutes before receiving our beverage order. Appetizer arrived before water. Good was fair but not great- being at the beach- you expect a (better quality) seafood - shrimp and fries seemed (stale). Would not recommend when spending $25 per person on a meal.

    This place is very expensive for the selection and quality of food. Service quick and courteous. Menu is limited no really unique options like you would expect. Food quality pretty bland. And it's very expensive for what you are eating.

    Nathan, we're sorry to hear your visit didn't quite hit those high notes we aim for with our island-inspired dining. Our menu is designed to transport guests to a tropical paradise, but it sounds like we missed the mark in delivering truly exceptional flavors. As an escape from the everyday, we want every bite (and sip!) to be a mini vacation. We'll work to make sure your next visit feels as warm and welcoming as paradise! -Margaritaville Management Team

    Food took over an 1 hour not even busy at the time the manager Nelson was very rude and smart when we were inquiring about the wait time. We love margaritaville just maybe they need new management

    We’ve been to many Margaritavilles and this was the worst one. Our waiter tried to memorize a party of 8’s orders and failed. We were there for 3 hours and my daughter never received her cheeseburger…. Until we were walking out! The drinks were wrong, all the food orders came out at different times… some were 30 minutes apart. Our waiter was clueless and ended up getting a $63 tip because we had 8 in our party! We feel robbed!

    I’ve been to Margaritaville’s all over the country. I like them so much that I’ll spend a good amount of money to stay at their resorts internationally. I can say without question this was by far the worst and all around awful restaurant. Hostess? Looked put out that I had a reservation bc they were busy. Service? Waitress didn’t check on us for an HOUR when the main food took nearly 90 minutes to come out. I had to get someone to find her to come over after I bussed the table to get the appetizers and old melted drinks off the table. Food? When the entree’s came…most of it wasn’t hot and some food I ordered was never brought out. Bathrooms? 🤮 Top it off, she called my kids spoiled as we were paying to be funny? It was awful. Maybe she was having a bad day but my goodness. I rarely write reviews and 99% of them are bc the place was amazing. $200+ not worth it y’all. So bad.

    The only complaint we have is that we made a reservation, meaning plenty of time to prepare for us, & they still proceeded to sit us outside in 85 degree weather when there were plenty of seats open inside. When asked if we could be moved inside, the answer was simply “no.”

    The jerk salmon was probably the worst salmon i’ve ever had. It was incredibly overcooked and fishy. I barely touched it and didn’t want to make a fuss so I didn’t mention it to the waiter.

    Food was pretty good. Waitress was wonderful. The only problem I had was the girls at the host station were very rude… They shouldn’t have that job..
