The staff is friendly and experienced. We enjoyed listening to live music while eating a delicious dinner.

Near Siesta Key beach. Friendly staff. Good prices.

great place! excellent food and service.

Celebrating our road to retirement! We were there when they open at 11AM to get our seats at the bar. We ordered the crab hush puppies and Peel n' eat Shrimp. Also, a couple "Summer Dreams Pink Lemonades"

While sightseeing in Siesta Key, we drove past SKOB, saw and heard how lively and fun this place was and turned back around! We got seated right away in the outdoor dining area next to musician Deven Starr, who was playing some great songs that we recognized and loved. Even our little Chihuahuas liked him. Btw, SKOB is dog- friendly. They even provided a water bowl, which we were grateful for. Lucky n Love and their mommy say Thank You! The food was delicious and hit the spot. We ordered Wings and Celery sticks with tartar and BBQ sauce on the side, and Fish and Chips, which were delicious. Especially good fries!! A+ The bar in the back was cozy and fun. Loved all the hundreds of dollar bills pinned to the walls and ceiling! Really cool effect! Easy parking in their parking lot or on the street. Easy to find on the main drag. Happy people around you and great live music! Check it out!

Friendly and efficient greeting and service. Sat inside near the back bar which was nice for a change. Ordered a chicken panini for me and husband had seafood tacos. I think mahi? Everything was delish as always.

I was really looking forward to having their oysters but was really disappointed. They were not fresh, had little flavor and were Huge. The server was nice, but I wouldn't recommend their oysters.

We put our name in the list and we’re told it would be about 40 minutes. Went into the bar and spent over $125 on drinks and oysters. When we got a notification we closed our bar tab and went to be seated. This is when things went south. We were told we hadn’t shown soon enough (they said 7 mins and there was a 5 min limit). We could be placed back on the list (40 minutes). We explained that we had immediately closed a bar tab of over $100 and come to the front awaiting others to announce we were there. Unbelievably they didn’t offer to seat us at the next available table. In fact we were led to believe they could care less about our business. Then after we inquired again, the “bouncer/manager” told us to go somewhere else as he wouldn’t seat us. We never raised our voices or acted belligerent. So my advice, spend your money somewhere that acts like they appreciate it.

This time we relied on Google. It is good enough, but overpriced, as it usually is at locations like this. Food is good, but the seafood part of the dish is disproportionately small. Quick service, but not that friendly. In general: good enough

My family (9 of us) visited this restaurant for supper last night for the first time. It was convenient, right on a main road on Siesta Key, we had to wait two full hours to be seated (they texted us), we were not greeted upon arriving, the restaurant was well decorated outside, also inside the dining area, etc., we were seated at a table that barely fit 9, I was on the far end where I was cramped and pressed upon physically most of the night by some sort of bachelorette group (annoying me most of the night), our server was decent (average) but efficient, the place was packed and really fun & lively with a live band playing old R&R hits, the menu had many good mostly seafood choices, our meals were delicious and medium priced, and the men's restroom was clean.
