Now in addition to the great food they have this huge air conditioner on the backside that cools you off when youre sitting on the marina side. Its been so hot they have so many fans running they must be losing their shirt in electricity lol. Live music all the time, love this place
Bartender will try to short change you. my friend gave him a older $20 bill she folded in half rolled into her front pocket. She made a $4 purchase and he gave her back a $1 bill. when she said she gave him a $20 he denied it and claimed he gave him a new crisp, flat(like ironed )$ 5 bill. sleazy way to make a living . I will never go there nor my friends. be careful
Gorgeous Marina with a view of Lemon Bay. So pretty, GREAT fishing, sometimes you see sharks or dolphins, even small feeding frenzies from the docks! And Snooks is right there if you need to grab a bite of food, I highly recommend the peel and eat shrimp
By far the best marina we have lived at. Very professional staff including the harbormaster who is knowledgeable of the local waterways. The ship store has great items. Snooks restaurant food is amazing. Great pricing for boat storage! We love the fact that liveaboard must go through a background check, this ensures your safety. If your vessel does not have a working head or shower bathrooms are accessible 24 hours a day. They have made several improvements and they have plans for more. Looking forward to upcoming positive changes
Love the Grouper sandwich. Excellent. If not for the painfully slow service, (not crowded and drink refills never arrived) I could give it more stars. Poor service seems to be a hallmark of this spot
Docks are in dire need of repair. Showers are inside restaurant restrooms. No laundry facilities. At $3 per foot per night, we expected a much better experience. Theyre trying to run the business with part-time help, and it shows.
Fun .. good music. Good food good service!
Basic ocean side neighborhood restaurant. Good food. Servers are a bit stretched and dont give the table their due time. But okay.
Ive always kept my yacht there, I love Snooks bar
Only had drinks at Sunset very cool place
Good food n drinks.. Great location ..good live music on the water. Great place for the sunset
Hard to find but its worth it. The food was delicious. The drinks were cold. And the people, guests and staff, were friendly.
Definitely a great place to eat and hang out with friends or family. The atmosphere here is just wonderful. Enjoy a drink and watch the sun set on their patio.
Good vibe excellent food good service
Everybody seems to be very knowledgeable and happy to see you and want to help you all in all a great experience
Love this place and their crab cakes are out of this world
Quiet and quaint. Definitely for locals, off the beaten path.
Good food and drinks.
Good. casual seating and atmosphere inside of the restaurant. Lots of outdoor fairly simple casual seating including benches, tables with chairs with water and boats nearby
Perfect peel and eat shrimp. Ask for Cherie. Good waitress
Great place excellent food and view.
Love the open air seating ❗ Outstanding menu with large selection of draft beers ❗
James was our server, he is spectacular! Food was awesome!
GREAT MARINA 😄🚤🚤‼️🇺🇸🇺🇸
Delicious food, music, and a beautiful sunset!! What more could you ask for...
Awesome marina! Friendly people, always willing to help out. They have the best rental prices around! We rent from them often. Highly recommend!
Good food and nice atmosphere ! Fine job guys ! Keep it up !
Awesome views, relaxing and good food
Band was excellent n waitress told band stop then audience complained band was awesome so band continued.
Nice restaurant bar with that boaty feel!!
Snooks is our favorite place in Englewood! Great atmosphere with beautiful sunsets! The Manasota Wings are amazing! Tony the bartender is always smiling!
I ate at Snooks here. Great views
Snooks on the marina is AWESOME!!!
Ice cold beer great place to see the sun set
Good food good music good times great open mic
Parking for Snooks at this marina location Is awful. I understand why, but definitely makes ease of parking hard.
Good food and Jennifer ways great waitress.
We didnt have food, but an amazing place to sit outside, have a few cocktails and enjoy the gorgeous sunset!
Great spot to watch fireworks
My husband and I been going to Snooks for years and enjoy the great food and service. However, on Saturday we decided to venture out for lunch for the first time since the pandemic. I was really surprised when none of the waitress had on mask or gloves and when the people next to us vacated the table the hostess did not disinfect the table. She barely dusted the crumbs away. So we will not return unless we are assured that proper protocol is being followed.
Great sun sets
Sea bass and tuna done perfectly . Enjoy the waterfront views and prices.This place will end up on tv and you won’t get in. Best selection of food done well -hands down.
Great place on the water.
My wife and i made this restaurant our first go to every year when we drive down to Florida, great food,friendly service and a great view,pretty cool joint right on the water 😉
Tiki Bar so busy, no wait staff, left without eating or having a drink.
Good food and atmosphere.
We rented a pontoon to entertain our out of town guests last weekend. Our plan was to go to Boca Grande. After being on the water a while, we notice the motor was not running properly. The primer bulb was completely flat and none of the guages or radio worked. We didnt even know if there was a full tank of gas. We cut our trip short and only went to Stump Pass. When we returned to the marina, we mentioned the problems to Don and another man. He told us the boat had a work order to be addressed the next week. They knowingly sent us out on a boat that was less than seaworthy. Don told us we would hear back from Jeff, the dock master. No one has called to address our concerns. Do not rent a boat from this place unless you enjoy the stress of wondering if you will make it back to the dock. I will never rent from them again.
Stopped at Snooks yesterday for late afternoon lunch.We were one of 2 tables in use. 2 wait people on duty, neither of which came by to say hello or offer drinks or menus. Thinking they may have changed their policy for ordering I went up to 2 wait people who were just chatting, and asked for menus.When food arrived it was not the usual Snooks quality. In fact it tasted like frozen, commercial fast food rather than the fresh quality seafood we have had there before.When our meal was finished we had to go find waitress to pay her.Probably wont hurry back to what was once our favorite casual outdoor tiki bar.
I live on a boat here. What more can i say.
The Marina was very easy to navigate to.
Snooks Bayside restaurant and Tiki bar is rapidly becoming our favorite place to go in Englewood. The low country boil for less than $15.00 is awesome, they give you a ton of shrimp along with all the other delicious traditional ingredients. Drinks are great too for average prices in that area. Very casual place that is off the beaten path yet has an excellent marina and gulf bay view. Parking is limited but well worth trying, I would walk to this place if nothing was available, and it is close to old town Englewood. A lot of locals go here and it is apparent why.
The view is nice. No AC. The conch fritters were good. Not a fan of the crab cakes; they have red bell pepper and onion in them. I just want plain crab with a little mayo or egg white to bind. They have other things we want to try, so well be back.
Great food and pleasant dockside ambience..
Good as. Ever! Always loved goinThere goo fun
Always super easy. Nice boats to rent.
Fantastic hidden gem. If you dont know its there you could easily miss it!!! Make a point to find it for a terrific waterside meal. Food is upscale for a Marina tiki bar. Unexpected and nice little tweaks to recipes. The Caribbean rub on the wings with a side of the hot sauce is Divine!!! Fries are also very good. Weve eaten here frequently the last year and weve never had a bad meal. Definitely recommend.
Decent parking when you know where to go. pull through the marina and youll be there. Awesome seating! Really good food.
Great food and service
Living life ok n a boat on the water is very peaceful and the most amazing experience you could ever have
Good food, service, music and Lemon Bay views! One of my favorites.
Best grouper sandwich !
Consistently serves great food and has a wonderful view of the marina. Wings are made fresh to order! Takes a bit longer but they are very good and worth the wait. Caribbean rub dipped in Manasota sauce is an unexpected perfect pairing. Fries are terrific too.
Like the food good
Terrific live R&B music during happy hour on a Sunday, ending at sunset! The service was outstanding, even though it was so busy. I enjoyed the diversity of the crowd. There were families, singles, grandparents with grandchildren, couples, singles, rich, poor, and everything in between. The food was memorable. I had a salad with ahi tuna and it was so large I wasnt able to finish it. I gave it a three because parking felt unsafe. Also, at first we couldnt tell if we were going to the bar or the restaurant due to the confusing signage and entrance. We ended up hanging around the entrance for about 5 minutes, not sure if we were even at the right place to get a bite. I had to sit next to a large gas tank because its a tight marina. I am a non-smoker, and the cigarette smoke from the smoking area wafted over and was bothersome at times. Overall, I enjoyed the experience.
Love to watch the sunset while enjoying a coctail or dinner with friends.
We were towed in for repair and they had us dry docked very quickly! The staff is very friendly and helpful. This is a great place to stay or get repairs. They are honest and trustworthy. Nothing but great things to say about this marina! Thanks Royal Palm Marina for your excellent work on our boat!
Its a small place so if your a person who doesnt like talking to people Id stay away. Our food and service was good. Prices a little high for my liking. I guess your paying for the view though.
Love Snooks! Outside eating, basic and casual
Good food. Good bands Great sunsets with old Florida feel.PS the waitstaff are very friendly.
A bad experience! I put my new boat there for a few months storage while I was gone for the season. When I came back and asked them to take it down and put it on the wash rack. I asked them to leave the covers on and I would remove them. When I later arrived, I found the main covers off. I didnt think much of it. When I got the boat to my lift and started washing it I found significant damage where the boat had been smashed against something. I looked at the cover where the damage was and found a large tear. I guess, that is why they removed the cover, so I would not see it until I left. They later denied damaging the boat and told me even if they did, their contract absolves them of responsibility. I will never set foot in the place again!
Good food, friendly, fast service. Excellent views if the intercoastal waterway.
My friend keeps his boat here. Very convenient. Call when you want to use it and it is in the water when you get there. When you are done for the day they clean it and put into covered vertical storage until the next time. They have marine fuel at the dock. Nice little restaurant there as well.
Rented a pontoon boat for half a day. Had loads of fun. Boat was nice.
Four of us had lunch there on a sunny Sunday afternoon and it was great! We all ordered something different and everyones was delicious with generous portions and tasty sides. The view is spectacular...the sea, sailboats, dolphins...it was calming and serene. Terrific spot!
Great staff. The food quality has taken a dip over the past year. Hope they get things back on track. Beautiful bay views. Fried foods taste like old grease. Last 2 times our food arrived cold. Live bands lack talent.
Staff is great. Food is ok. Conch fritters are the best. The rest.... well its ALL fried. Need less fried options. Outside of domestic, beer is too expensive. The atmosphere is cool.
Had fun renting the 20 pontoon boat👍
