Pincher`s Crab Shack at Tin City On the Gordon River, Boat Accessible

KEllys Fish House
The atmosphere at Kelly’s is
fun and casual. Boat Accessible
$$$$......”B-” Good
http://www.kellysfishhousediningroom.com/
Fish House is the oldest seafood restaurant in Naples
Soon after we were seated, we were served a basketful of "hush puppies."
For those of you who haven’t tried them, they are round balls made of flour, corn
meal, and minced onion. They are fried in hot water. They were delicious
We've eaten many, many times over the past ten years at Kelly's and have
enjoyed most of our meals. We've had slow service a few times and we feel that
their prices are getting to be a bit too high

$$...... “B “ Good
http://www.joescrabshack.com/
Built like a Gulf Coast fishing shack with high, tin roof ceilings Buckets of crab or
fried or grilled seafood in raucous,
kid-friendly atmosphere. …
Have been to Joe's Crab Shack many times over the past few years and though
it is noisy and the music is all but deafening, the food we ordered most times was
quite good.
The run of the mill stuff is just that,
similar to Red Lobster but the crab is very nice. The soft-shell crab was fabulous
as was the catfish.
We've been to the crab shack dozens of times when in Naples and we've always
had great food and really friendly (& zany) service.

On the Gordon River,

. $$......”B-” Fair to Good
http://www.pincherscrabshack.com/
Known for serving fresh seafood in a casual, tropical atmosphere, Pincher's
specializes in fresh grouper, shrimp, clams, oysters, mussels, crab, mahi mahi,
tuna, and salmon.
Burgers and wings too.
Shrug, nothing special, though it came to us highly recommended ("best seafood
in Naples" .....Jeez I really hope not”).
Ok food. Nothing special, but handy if you're nearby and need someplace to eat.
Portions are ginormous. Blackened grouper sandwich was tasty, but the sides
were lackluster.

The flavor of the Gulf Coast." Waterfront and laid-back with an old-time
atmosphere,
The Riverwalk at Tin City features moderately sandwiches priced Gulf Coast
specialties, including seafood, salad, , cocktails and a daily Raw Bar. Sunday
brunch.
Great Food. Great River View. Great Music. Great Service. Food was decent.
View is nice, would avoid during prime dining time during season unless you like
crowds or waiting. .One of our favorite places to go for an early dinner! The staff
is great and the food is wonderful.

The Dock Restaurant - Crayton Cove
Overlooking City Dock * Boat Accessible
. $$...... “A” Excellent
http://www.dockcraytoncove.com/
Bay views, great food and a laid-back attitude have made the Dock a Naples
tradition for locals and visitors since 1976. The Dock’s fare is tropical, using the
freshest ingredients and creative, island-style preparations.
Sunday Brunch, Naples-style, includes dishes such as crabcakes Benedict and a
Make-Your-Own Bloody Mary Bar and is served from 10:30 a.m. - 2 p.m.
OK-- Ever want to wait 2 hours for a table in season. People do, We do, I do!
This restaurant just screams Carribean Island Food. Take company here for a
night out and you will leave full and alive!

Buzz’s Lighthouse Restaurant
— Vanderbilt Lagoon at Vanderbilt Beach
Tie up the boat and enjoy
. $...... “B” Good food at a great price
http://www.naplesnews.com/places/lighthouse_restaurant/
Buzz's is tucked among some of North Naples' priciest real estate. It's a Frisbee
toss from the Ritz-Carlton, Naples, for example. Although dwarfed by new and
recently remodeled high- and low-rise buildings, old-fashioned charm makes the
small, wooden structure stand out.
While it's true meals aren't
served in a white-linen tablecloth kind of place, Buzz's Lighthouse Restaurant on
Gulfshore Drive has the virtue of a water view, in this case Vanderbilt Lagoon.
And its lobster tail entrée comes with the requisite sides: a baked spud with
butter and sour cream plus excellent, creamy coleslaw. No, it isn't a big, fat tail. .
But that's OK because it doesn't carry a big, fat bottom line, either. At just $14 —
it's still one of the best seafood bargains around.

http://www.baysideseafoodgrillandbar.com/
There are three ways to enjoy Bayside Seafood Grill & Bar, one of Naples
waterfront restaurants for locals and visitors alike.
The Bar, on sidewalk level, has the wonderful, bustling ambience of a big city
neighborhood café. The Bar menu offers sandwiches, salads and light entrees
through the late afternoon and evening.
The Grill is upstairs and overlooks Venetian Bay -- one of Naples best dining
views. The Grill specializes in creative and superbly prepared seafood, oak
grilled steaks and chops, and pasta dishes.
The Grill menu is also served on the
Upper Deck Bar, one of Naples' top outdoor cocktail and dining spots,
overlooking Venetian Bay and spectacular sunsets. Between 2-5 p.m. the Upper
Deck Bar offers a lighter, late lunch menu.

Snook Inn— Marco Island
Located on the beautiful Marco River
.$$......”B+” Good to excellent
http://www.snookinn.com/
Snook Inn is interesting. The outdoor seating is good. It surrounds a bar and is
on the waterfront. However, the inside is really dark and not much to look at.
Crowd is mixed with people in their 20s as well as older people in 50s and 60s
We loved the Snook Inn New York
... twice in our week on Marco Island and that is a compliment to the great
atmosphere of the place. The location is super - right on the water, laid back ...
Indiana, who can go to Marco and NOT go to the Snook at least once? It's a
madhouse, but a fun one!!!

On any given afternoon, coming to Stan's Idle Hour on Goodland is the
destination of choice for hundreds of "Stan fans" looking for a good time.
Crossing the Goodland bridge, you make a sharp left turn at the Welcome to
Goodland sign. Then you follow the winding road into a tiny village.
There are about 400 year round residents here and everyone knows everyone.
Weekdays are pretty quite and serious. Come the weekend , Goodland jumps
and the "hot spots" shake with the best entertainers.
"A must on a Sunday afternoon!" "Good place for a laugh!!
"Best for Sunday's!"
