Lazy Turtle RiverFront Grill & Tiki Bar

Today was my very first time at the Lazy Turtle and I had the very best soft shell crab sandwich here today and the sweet potato fries were to die for! Our waitress was very attentive! I adored her energy and spirit! She was very knowledgeable of the menu, very polite and went out of her to take care of our every need! I will definitely be back again to try something different on their menu.

A very nice spot for lunch on a beautiful Florida day. GF is marked on menu but no dedicated fryer so several items marked as GF are not really gluten free. They have good GF buns that they toasted just right. We had the Cold Water Lobster Roll and the Blackened Mahi Mahi Rueben. We substituted cole slaw for the fries (shared fryer). Both sandwiches were delicious. We did take Gluten Ease since we were unsure of cross contamination and we didn’t get sick.

We decided to go on Valentine's, no reservations. The place was busy. However, we got complimentary valet parking and after a short wait we were offered a table. We even got to sit outside- water view! Food was very delicious (we had Chicken Rigatoni with Coconut and Mango Alfredo). The staff was friendly, not the "stiff, can't crack a smile" kinda waiter. Live music and since it was Valentine's the ladies received a single red rose at the end! All in all wonderful evening! We will definitely go again.

I am very disappointed. I love coming here to have a fresh air and enjoy food. This time I came was not a great moment for me. They got the wrong order and I politely ask to switch it up because I am allergic to the plate they gave me. I thought the waiter was nice to do it since she knew that it was wrong but when they brought the right plate it was just not appealing to my sight and taste. There was a bunch of oil all over the plate and that it’s not appropriate serving. The sad part is I really love the chef’s food but when I get treated like this usually never come back.

We had an absolutely fabulous time here! The service was top-notch from start to finish, and every dish we tried was incredible. The nachos were loaded and delicious, the crab legs were fresh and perfectly cooked, the salad was crisp and refreshing, and the lobster bisque was rich and full of flavor. Everything came out just right, and the staff made the experience even better with their friendly and attentive service. Highly recommend for a great meal and a wonderful time!
