    Sat at the bar. Bartenders were very attentive and super nice. Ordered mahi tacos blackened and an orange crush. Tacos were bland but not terrible. Orange crush was perfect! Not too sweet. The view is incredible. I will definitely visit O’leary’s again.

    We sat at the bar and had beers and food. We ordered fried cauliflower and quesadillas. Both were tasty.

    Did not eat but had a few beverages. Love how they've rebuilt. Bigger, badder and with the same vibe as before the hurricane.

    A great place to relax on the bay! Friendly counter service with attentive management. Nice place to stick your toes in the sand. Try the Rachel club! The fries and buffalo cauliflower were both hot and crispy.
