    I commend them for being open so soon after the hurricane, but unfortunately the food was terrible. This Cuban is a disgrace to all other Cuban sandwiches. Literally just dry ham lunch meat with mustard and a pickle. The bread was soggy, the meat was grey in some places, and I found a hair in it. Man was I so hungry, and unfortunately after the meal, I was still hungry. Hopefully, as the repair from the hurricane continues, their food quality will improve, and hopefully until then, they will decide to just stick to menu items they can manage. I'm sure their burgers are great. My sister had the turkey wrap and that was much better. EDIT: It was less than 24 hours later and I began to feel very unwell. Feels like food poisoning and this is the only meal that I didn't share with my dad and sister who are asymptomatic. Now I am stuck in bed, unable to enjoy my vacation. 😭 Please eat anywhere else until the repair is complete.

    Cabanas is in a perfect spot to enjoy great food and drinks before or after sunbathing on the beach. We had a large group of 15 and the staff was very accommodating. You will not be disappointed with any of the many drinks to choose from! The food is great, I would recommend any fish they get in fresh! Nice portions of food with great flavors. I'd recommend Cabanas to family and friends!

    One of the very few places that are open on the island after hurricane Ian. Great atmosphere in a modern looking bar. Mongolian shrimp was delicious. Strawberry daiquiri tasty! And our amazing server (Diane?) was absolutely the best! Great live music by Nate Michaels that evening kept everyone happy and relaxed.

    The food was delicious. The chicken Sandwich was good, right, and the drinks were pretty good.

    If we could give this place 10 stars just for the customer service, we would! The food and drinks were good, but Dianne really made the whole experience! She was especially great with all the kids at our table, brought us water bottles for the beach as we were leaving, and was all around incredibly attentive and had a wonderful attitude and was so sweet! Excellent service! We will be back just because of this!

    Busy place with a fun laid-back vibe and good live music. Servers and bartenders are quality as is the food. I had the blackened chicken sandwich with fries and there was nothing left on my plate. What I liked to see was the manager on duty actually helping out staff run food and clear tables. It’s nice to see that when the place is busy. Not some bonehead standing around acting like the boss. I’ll be back again!

    Given everything that happened with Hurricane Ian, this was great. Where the restaurant is now (upstairs) didn't seem to get much damage so it's nice. The views are good. I had the blackened grouper sandwich and it was tasty and filling for lunch. Service was good too. Wouldn't call it cheap by any means (grouper sandwich was market rate but was $25 for me) but seems about average for the area based on looking at menus at other open restaurants in the area. The spicy margarita was $11, which doesn't shock me coming from NY.

    Awesome food and service! Beautiful view! Great drinks!

    The coconut shrimp and chicken sandwich were really great. And the beach view was good to have as well. The rebuilding effort is going well after last year's Hurricane.

    This place has a very limited menu but great location and great service! So many drinks to choose from. You can pick any alcohol and any color or frozen or on the rocks and they will be able to do it!! Bathroom is clean and there is am outdoor bar area or a beach area u can sit in if you want to dip ur toes in the sand and be a little closer to the beach.

    Just came from Cabana's and had a great experience. We live on FMB, brought friends from Naples to Cabana's and we all loved it. We had the Grouper Rueben, Grouper Sandwich. Only disappointment was the live music was by the pool, rather than up in Cabana's.

    Food is good and staff is also fine.pool and beach view is superb nothing to say there's beauty. There's one of guy his name Mr Ankush his behaviour and services mind blowing . We are fully satisfaction from his service.

    Nice place terrible service at Cabanas Beach Bar and Grill. Waitress couldn' be bothered to answer a simple question and bartender very arrogant, rude AND uncleanly. Ordered a bloody mary, BIG mistake, didn't see any hand washing after he had just been handling his phone after serving another customer. Reached bare handed into to pickle and olive jars to retrieve garnishment then wiped his dirty drippy hands on his pants. Then got an attitude when I politely rejected it and asked for a nice safe Corona in a can instead. Got completely ignored the rest if my brief stay, asked everyone else around the bar if they needed anything, engaged in chit chat etc. You would think that since it's off season and very few people here, your server game would be a peak level. He must be independantly wealthy or the son or grandson of an owner to be able to get away with that behavior.

    Great drinks, hard-working staff, especially bartender. Live music and great views of the sunset

    Great beach bar; good drink selection, and the cocktails are well made. Staff are friendly and attentive. Food is also pretty decent. Would recommend!

    Live singer was great and nice place to enjoy drinks on the beach. I was disappointed in the food especially for a chicken sandwich the meat was tiny on the big bun and 17.95. Atmosphere 5 stars. Food 1 star

    We, the Horde, arrived by Horseback. The bartender jumped on the bar and yelled WHO WANTS SHOTS!!!!! The community roared in approval. Ladies of the evening came flooding out from parts unknown. Smiling from ear to ear, we knew to take advantage of today. For tomorrow, the Purge would begin.

    A hidden gem with an amazing bar staff! The food is quick and fresh! Hubs and I came here everyday while we stayed on the island for vacation. Thanks guys! Y’all rock

    I have been coming here for years and it seems to be in decline. Menu is shrinking, quality of the food is declining, and the prices are rising (not their fault). That being said, all of the employees are helpful, courteous, efficient, and always a pleasure.

    I've never had a better fish taco; wife said the same about the grouper reuben. The view at sunset is ridiculous. Highly recommend.

  • 4/5 K S. 2 years ago on Google
    Blackened grouper on salad was quite good. Managed to go on a cloudy warm day that was not very busy. Service was good. Overall good experience.

    Right on the Beach....You can get tables in the sand as well. There was a nice breeze. The service and food we're good. The fries were really good and I don't usually eat them all but these are so light and crispy. I got some Frozen mermaid drink blended like a slurpee. It tasted like fruity lemonade. Really refreshing, not too sweet and not too sour. Live music was pretty good too.

    Apart from some noisy people, it was very pleasant. A waitress was a bit "mad" I asked for a sangria pitcher (not on the menu) while another one wanted to make it for us. Unfortunately the mad, older one said categorically there was no sangria, so we ordered a "bucket" of a green sweet watered down rum cocktail, which turned out to be miniscule compared to a sangria pitcher. It tasted good nonetheless. The weather was beautiful so no regrets whatsoever 😀
