4 star ratingWell we got this place as a recommendation to cook our fish that we just caught! Great and staff super nice. The Conch Fritters were delicious. Our Snapper was cooked in a sautéed way. But be specific on how you want to cook "your" fish. We thought it was sautéed but actually came sautéed in a battered egg covering. We just wanted the delicious fresh fish taste which didn't happen.
Cole slaw God and basic salad was fine.
Would recommend this place. Good service, good fritters and of course my fish.

5 star ratingThe accommodations at Bud N' Mary's exceeded all my expectations! The staff was friendly and very helpful with any questions or request for assistance. I stayed at the marina on the "Lucky Lady" houseboat and couldn't have been more satisfied. Fully equipped, clean and comfortable accommodations with a deck overlooking the ocean. I took advantage of their boat rental service and enjoyed a few days fishing in the back water. I look forward to a return trip for Tarpon season and will definitely stay @ the "Lucky Lady" again . . . Highly recommend
