At the Island Way Grill, we're all about fresh fish. Our own boats make daily trips to the middle grounds to bring back fresh tuna, mahi, snapper and other local varieties. No long-line fish here-just hook, rod, and reel. If it's any fresher, it is still in the gulf. Most of our cooking revolves around our oak and citrus fired open pit, which sears at an extremely high temperature and adds a delicious smokiness to everything grilled. You'll find an abundance of fresh herbs and only the best quality seasonings. Fresh vegetables are used throughout our menu, and all soups and sauces are hand-prepared. We are also proud to provide an excellent selection of the worlds best oysters flown in fresh for your enjoyment. In addition to our menu, our chefs prepare a varied assortment of daily specials that always add an element of interest to our every-day offerings.

    Very nice restaurant. Seated 35 minutes later than reservations. Noise level very high. The food was very tasty and satisfying. Our server Jason was excellent! The pricing of the food is very reasonably for the quality. I would definitely go back

    Even with a reservation we had to wait about 20 minutes for our table. Finally seated in the back- which was quieter than the bar/front section. Waiter was friendly but very hurried. He checked on us once and after we were done eating it took him about 20 minutes to bring the check. . My grouper special was just ok- lukewarm. I believe overpriced. Our party ordered the pork chop, meatloaf, and lobster tail. None of us were very excited. The food was average not exceptional, which is what one expects for the prices charged. Quite frankly this place relies on the location and decor for justifying the prices. Not worth the money. Would not revisit.

    The Sunday Brunch is the best deal in the area. Plenty of delicious food choices, including a raw bar! Our server, Ashley, was very attentive and helpful. What a great way to begin a new week!!

    After waiting 25 minutes for our table, the food was shoved at us. We had crab claw appetizers which take some time to eat as they weren’t cracked well, they brought the salad before we finished our appetizers. They then brought out the entrees before the salad was finished. Our waiter was not great but they force a tip by using handheld credit card machines which they hand to you while they stand and wait!

    We were so excited to eat here. We made reservations. We arrived and were seated. The hostess gave us menus. We looked over the menus. Had plenty of time to choose what we wanted. We realized we don’t have water. Nobody ever came to serve us. Despite there being 2 waiters in our area and 3 others employees standing within sight. We start trying to make eye contact with anyone. We saw a table of 6 arrive and get seated near us. Almost immediately a 3rd server came and greeted them and brought water. We looks at each other, realize we had been sitting there around 25 minutes, and got up and left. We let the group of workers who were just standing there what was going on before we left. They offered to serve us immediately if we went and sat down. We declined. There are too many other good restaurants to choose from.

    We were very disappointed in the quality of the food we had, we have been going there for many many years and this definitely was not a good experience.
