Squid Lips in VB!

[Lizardbeth61]

Gotta try it! We went there . . . it's near Capt. Hiram's. It's over the water and walking up to it, you might wonder if you're making a grave mistake. It looks a little shady as you approach it. However, once you walk inside, it's a GREAT casual place open on three sides. The fourth side is fronted by a bar and behind that is the kitchen. The menu is creative (baked sweet potato with maple syrup something or other) but not over the top including dinners and an assortment of burgers, sandwiches etc. The staff was friendly and willing to please. And when we were there, there was a trio playing music by Crosby, Stills & Nash and similar artists. We also happened to be there as Katrina was approaching in its baby form before it became the monster hurricane after passing over south Florida and we were treated to some beautiful cloud formations and a double rainbow. Great place! From what the staff said, people eat at Squid Lips and then go to party at Hiram's . . . although my experience at Capt. Hiram's didn't make me think of partying. Could be we're 40 something with 2 kids!

Our family LOVES Squid Lips too...their waitstaff is great, the food was wonderful and there's a nice view! Sometimes you see Dolphins very close. Is their new dock done yet? They were just starting to work on it when we were there in April/

FYI :Jack Baker's Lobster Shanty don't go there... YUCK....the worst dinner we had on our August trip. Maybe it was an off night but I know we won't chance it again, too expensive for poor service and poor food. We loved Ocean Grill, Carraba's, Green Room and SHutters can't wait to go back to all four on our next trip.

. . . or both? The email notification I received said Hiram's was the worst and then your actual note says Lobster Shanty. In any case, I agree on Hiram's. Didn't really like it and didn't think the atmosphere was all that great either.

Didn't make it to Ocean Grill this trip, but we loved it last year too. Were trying to be a bit more frugal this trip.

We've liked Shutters in the past, but I had their prime rib this time and was very disappointed. While it was tender, it tasted boiled. Just didn't like it. All others in our party seemed like their meals were okay.

But Squid Lips, well, it was so much fun and the food was very good!

KWeaver, the new dock must be up although as I said in my original post, it looks a little shady on the way up the dock so I'm not sure.
