This is definitely a vacation spot for food and drinks. It's on the north side of the island and it is all outdoor seating. The servers were great! The food was good the kids loved it. The servers made an error with one of our kid's drinks and served her tequila. We notified the manager and he apologized and made sure she was ok. He ended up giving her a desert as part of their apology. The kids were ok and now have a story to share about their spring break experience.

the food was good. what really did it for me was the service! izzy was our waitress, she was amazing, making sure all of our questions were answer. izzy went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our experience. definitely recommend coming here on your next trip to the island.

I hadn't been to UG in years but so happy we went today! Delicious meal for lunch! Honestly blown away at how tasty the grouper tacos were. My favorite bite of the trip. Service was great as well! Our waitress was attentive and knowledgeable. The manager even came by and talked to us. Can't wait to be back!

great place! Faith was an awesome server and took great care of us. Food was awesome- get the grouper tacos!

Awesome outdoor dining on Holmes Beach/Anna Marie island. Despite ample seating (all outside - no indoor dining), expect a wait for dinner. No worry though, the friendly service at the bar does not disappoint, nor did the selection. Dinner was really tasty. Matt was our guide through the menu and recommended my selection, which was a blackened grouper platter. He pretty much said any grouper selection was a winner (tacos, nuggets, platter, etc). I had a shrimp cocktail to kick it off and was not disappointed. 5 truly jumbo shrimp, freshly presented with a tasty cocktail sauce. Pricey, but worth it. We also ordered pretzel nuggets which were good, though a bit overdone. Live music kept the energy up despite a chilly evening. Lots of fun and an enjoyable dining experience.

There are only so many places to visit on the island for dinner . Expect a wait time but it's usually less than what is stated. Drinks are shore pricing and why expect lower....you're at the shore. We've had great service here and the menu options are terrific. Plan ahead and give the kids a snack before you get here. We enjoyed the entertainment and despite Sinead being a Mets fan she was super attentive and took care of us, especially the kids with the group.

What a great 'first time experience'! Very fun place with friendly personable staff, excellent food and comfortable outdoor seating! Ok, so let's address the negatives: -No Happy Hour...cause they don't need to! -Snowbird traffic getting there and leaving. Now my likes: -I've lived in the area for 8 years and "Discovered" the local amazing sandwich-'The Grouper Reuben". I've had a 2 places that were my favorites for this BUT NOW I HAVE TO ADMIT THAT THE UGLY GROUPER serves my favorite version. The bread was toasted perfectly, hands down, without a doubt-the thickest/biggest piece of grouper I've been served on this sandwich. My only complaint is that the sour kraut should have been drained better because the bottom of the sandwich placed on the plate was unfortunately soggy. The sandwich was also served with delicious, crispy seasoned French Fries. For the $26 charge, a lil Cole slaw would have been nice. Bottom line is that I would DEFINITELY go back and order it again. Our server & bartender was 'Cassidy'-WHAT A PLEASURE! She was so friendly, hospitable, professional and provided great service even though she had a full bar. I will definitely go back but probably not till post season!

**Pre Debby, Helene, Milton Visit** Still one of my favorite places. Somehow my schedule cleared up giving me a free week day off. After dropping off the child at camp, I went to the beach for the day. Around 2p, hunger took over all my thoughts so I packed everything up for a visit to this wonderful establishment. Since it was only me, a spot at the bar was my destination. The bartender greeted me quickly and took my drink and food order. As I enjoyed my drink, grouper tacos, and book. There was a guy playing live music who played some great renditions of popular songs. It was a very tasty lunch with good entertainment. 02.02.25

A MUST VISIT when on AMI!!! The fish tacos are just out of this world! The fried cheese on the shells just make the tacos that much better - and be sure to use the Dino sauce. I've been when it's warm and the cans help keep the area cool, but when cool they have heaters too! Nick our waiter was very attentive and sweet - helped us navigate the menu and pick the best meals. Can't wait to come back! On, and get the fries! Worth it!

Very little has changed here- glad they have recovered from Helene and Milton; casual, outdoor dining- gravel flooring, good drinks and great beach food. The fries remain outstanding as does the grouper tacos- 2 large grouper tacos and their secret sauce fills me up. Our server was attentive and capable. Today, I even was able to grab a parking place in front(granted it was 3pm) and cool for Florida. Support this local establishment! AMI and Holmes Beach were hit hard by the hurricanes and need sponsorship.
