3 star ratingFriendly service, nice outdoor location. I had a quick sandwich/wrap and love those tater tots. Great rooftop viewing area. Lots of typical traffic. Friendly staff and service. Clean bathrooms. Great for a quick stop.

5 star ratingI was there on a 2 day backcountry fishing trip with my 18 year old son. We had Capt John Johansen the first day and captain Ted Wilson the second day. We caught a tarpon and quite a few sharks. We had a most pleasurable trip and hope to do it again soon. Captain John and Captain Ted thank you for a great time on the water. You represent Bud and Mary's very well. I hope to see you guys soon!

5 star ratingGreat spot to grab a fishing charter. From what I hear it's much cheaper than key west. Pre order some lunch from the trading post up the street and bring it along. I can't wait to book my next trip and spend at least 2 days fishing.
