Jack Willie's Tiki Bar and Restaurant

We go to Jack Willie's a lot. Outside on an evening is really nice and it's a great place to take kids - the music and waterfront make it interesting. The bar gets crowded, service gets slow and at times completely non-existent. But they do try, and while I'm not one to forgive poor service, I have to say this place has some things going for it. The menu is great. Sure, you have your typical bar food, but there's also some terrific Ahi Tuna and some salads to die for. After the fall of Jimmie Macs, the Jack Willie burger is a very close seond. The fish spread is literally perfection! They have a good kids menu and the sea food is always fresh. My husband wasn't too impressed witht he grouper, so maybe that's something to stay away from if you're used the grouper quality of Frenchy's. The crowd is good, and I've never seen anyone hanging at the bar that I wouldn't want my children around. Great place for Floridians who like the laid-back style but want a menu with substance.
