Great little waterfront comfort food restaurant. Surrounded by everything Naples high end, this is a very simple low key restaurant with just plain good food. Loved the seafood fritters and our party of 6 all went for the famous grouper Reuben with some different preparations. Almost not a word spoken during the meal because it was sooo good. Enjoyed the spicy marg too.
People wait If line here for 45 minutes always crowded. Good Grouper sandwich, good fried clams. Food is decent. Local place among the high rent district of Gulf Shore drive. Terry Dane
Nothing to write home about. Had grouper sand with lettuce, tomato onion. Rice tastes strange to me. I'd go back if I was nearby but wouldn't go out of my way to go again
The food here is excellent and the servers are very friendly. I recommend the grouper Rueben.
Good service once she finally came over. Solid blackened grouper sandwich. I don't know if they salt the fries? Nice water views.
Buzz's never disappoints, consistently good food and service at an iconic venue! Go across the street for a beautiful sunset and dinner after at Buzz's.
Was seated right away. Had a seat just inside the deck to keep the wind off of us since it was dark and a little cool. Waitress was sitter friendly and nice. I ordered a key lime tini to drink. My husband got a Painkiller. Both were so so good. Mine was like a dessert! I ordered Chicken Caprese for dinner. The tomatoes were so huge and fresh and ripe. Chicken had such great flavor and perfectly cooked. My husband got Mahi with a key lime butter sauce and tropical rice and broccolini. He said it was all very good and cooked perfectly. It was pretty loud in there with everyone talking but it is kind of a small place. Loved the little lights on the table to make it more romantic. Very good dinner. Great service. Definitely would come back.
Old Naples Restaurant! I stumbled across this place on a stroll and came in for a drink! What a quaint place with great views! Wonderful service by the staff and James! I definitely recommend and will come to check out the food next!!
