Mr. Manatee's

So tonight July 4, I decided to order Mr. Manatees. I requested two orders of Gator tale with fries. Total came up to $32.08. The bartender gave me my food and only gave me one of the orders. I asked the bartender where is the second order? She said they put both of them inside of one container and stated, I should have told her that I wanted both orders separately. I will totally not be eating there again. Pros: Fast service. Con: Charge for two and only gave me one order. Gator tale was over cooked and taste a little bit burned.

Had not been here in a while -so disappointed. Had a simple Caesar salad and grilled shrimp. Had to have shrimp replaced- as the first batch was dry and tasteless. There was way too much salad dressing as well. The only saving grace was the server who did offer a free dessert -but I decided against it. Hope it was just a fluke. But it will be a long time til I try this place again. What’s happening Vero Beach ??

The food wasn’t bad but it wasn’t good either. The oysters were not washed before serving they still had seaweed and dirt on them the crackers were stale and the horse radish was bland how do you get bland horseradish lol omg . The salmon was obviously from Walmart or Costco it was something we could of made ourselves. The servers and drinks (rum buckets) were amazing I’d only come here for drinks that’s the only thing that’s good here . Oh and the kitchen staff was walking around outside which is probably why their food sucks

Great restaurant! Service, staff, menu, food, drinks, on the water. Family type restaurant with many perks. Create a wonderful experience. ...but busy, people just seem to love this place. It has the right attraction. It's like a diner that puts upscale restaurants to shame, for me, as it's all about BALANCE. Only thing missing is high prices as cost is very reasonable. I am a salad lover and after seeing some of the salads, I was wishing I ordered just that. Mr. Manatee's has the right balance for their food, service, staff, experience. A restaurant that is a busy place offering a GREAT experience, IMHO!

Don't even know where to begin. One of the worst dining experiences ever. We asked to sit on the patio. That was a mistake. We literally went unattended to for 15 minutes while there was a shift change. We then waited another 30 minutes for subpar appetizers. Cold lobster bisque and burnt gator bites. Entree wasnt much better. The Captains Platter was just bad , rubbery shrimp and scallops and frozen vegetables. We will not be back.

Our waitress Alex was wonderful, and our gator tail appetizer was just fine, no complaints. My husband and I both ordered the fiesta fish burrito, which was said to have fried mahi mahi, chipotle Mayo, jalapeños, and cheese. Sounds great, but we were so disappointed when our entrees came. The fish had no flavor at all, and the “burrito” looked and tasted a lot more like a cheap wrap you could buy at the gas station. I couldn’t even finish mine, it so was not worth it! We are from out of town and were super excited to try a local, low key seafood joint. Super super disappointing!
