This was our first visit & we found it by a general Google search as we were driving into Fort Myers for a weekend stay. It was a great place & looks like a hidden gem. The food was delicious & the vibe was super relaxing & comfortable. We sat on the outside deck area & there was also a sandy area with tables & a small bandstand with live music. The sandy area had several families & the kids were having fun playing. We loved the boardwalk winding around the property. The inside was nice as well. The entire place was very clean & the staff very friendly. We highly recommend & will go back.

My new favorite place for an excellent meal with fun atmosphere and nice views.. came in Saturday night and really enjoyed everything.. Our waitress was Synthia” she was great.. we started with appetizers” the pretzel with beer cheese and the loaded potato skins were great! The fresh salad was good as well…we had the Saturday special of “prime rib” wow! Fork tender and so good!with peppery delicious Auju”on the side” we also had the teriyaki chicken bowl” which was delicious! The chicken was tender and they were so accommodating for my no onion request ( Thank you) though we were full we couldn’t pass up desert and tried the key lime pie ” good but the star was the Cinnabon cheesecake which was to die for! Yummy!!! Synthia never let our drinks get low and had such a great personality which just added to the dining experience” we sat indoors by the windows overlooking the stage and courtyard area which was nice because we arrived before the night got too busy” great spot for date night for sure!” .. I’d love to come again and chill outside because it just looked like a fun spot to dine as well” .. definitely recommend dining here” and 5 stars are deserved at this 10 star restaurant! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This restaurant is a very nice and clean establishment. The staff are friendly and hard working. The atmosphere here is great. I would come here again for sure. The food is real good. I had the Seafood Boil Special and the wife had Mango Shrimp skewers which she liked. Our friends had a Steak dinner and they liked it very much. We dined here on 10/11/25.

Went there on a Saturday early dinner 5 pm with the wife. Google reviews (4.5) and the location appeared good. However, we were underwhelmed by a mile.
Conch fritters and mac n cheese balls were the only good food (appetizers), we could enjoy. My surf n turf buger patty had no seasoning. Crab meat on top wasn’t bad seasoning but did not taste fresh.
Drinks came late, after appetizers arrived. Restaurant was pretty empty.. We sat inside since our desired outside seating by the creek was not set up yet. It was empty inside and lot of servers gathering in circle talking away in the middle of the main dining room. Our server did well, but didn’t like the overall atmosphere, kinda dated, dingy, dark and borderline unsanitary appearance. They had live music and bar was busy as typically. Wife’s pasta dish was too heavy too thick sauce… Definitely out of a jar or can..

Good menu options. The fish sandwiches were thick and moist. The hamburger was juicy and cooked perfectly. The side salad was huge. The pretzel sticks and beer cheese was great. The fries had a little extra coating and came in a cute fryer basket. The coconut cheesecake was amazing. The atmosphere both inside and out was pleasant and comfortable. We sat inside as it was 95 degrees out and the large windows still allowed us to feel like we were outside.

First time here and we enjoyed our experience. Food was good and fairly priced in lite of where food costs have gone. Very bright dinning room with high ceilings, kind of felt like a dinning room at a moose lodge or a camp. Two bars available, one inside and one outside. Live music outside on the deck. Service was excellent. Grounds include a sandbox, stage, and plenty of parking. Service was excellent! By the way pretzel app was excellent and so was the fish dip ( chips served with fish dip were just okay, would prefer saltines). All the entrees were a solid 4 out of 5. First time I ever had a Howdy drink… different but refreshing.

Overview: 5/5
This is a neat place off the beaten path in Fort Myers. We made a quick overnight trip down and stumbled upon this place.
Ambiance : 5/5
It has unique babbling streams, water features and what looked like a beer garden for live entertainment seating.
It had a large covered open porch with live entertainment. The seating arrangement allow for both large and small parties. It had large TVs for the sports enthusiasts and allows pets on the outside deck. The bathrooms were super clean.
Food/Drink 5/5
I ordered a Caesar salad with grilled chicken. It was fresh and came as I ordered it with cheese, croutons and dressing on the side. I like to control my salad mixology (lol).
My wife had the BLT with fries that were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. She said it was one of the best she ever had. Lots of bacon, tomatoes were good and bread was toasted perfectly.
We did not have any hard liquor drinks or beer however the selection looked good.
Service : 5/5
Waitress was pleasant and got everything right with our order.
Conclusion : I liked this place for both the atmosphere and food.

A renovated classic that still needs some interior atmosphere improvements, but pretty good food for the prices.
I went with my family on Sunday 1/18/26 around 1pm. There was a total of 16 customers at the outside bar and 10-12 tables of about a 30-table inside dining area occupied by customers. The waitress we had was really trying her best but an expression of fatigue from being overwhelmed was apparent, (which in a way can ruin an experience due to tension it puts on the customer for asking for anything that might add to their fatigue). We waited over 20 minutes to receive waters at our table. We had an issue with the soda that was being provided due to it being either flat or the dispenser wasn’t dispensing the syrup. It was said by staff that the issue was addressed and fixed by the Pepsi supplier the day prior, but we received drinks that were still flat/ tasteless, and the alcoholic beverages are hit or miss. The atmosphere is still missing a few touches but has major potential due to location, food quality, and overall structural design of the restaurant. But it might be wasted if they aren’t able to address the service, the atmosphere, and little things like coordinating with your beverage supplier to either fix the issue or replace the machine. I also can’t give a complete review because their live entertainment was canceled but may have increased the dining experience. Moral of the story is, if you’re looking for a roll of the dice, Rum Bucket is the choice. Hope they can pull it together because it was goooood food.
