    Came here to on Saturday night. The Dj pretty much played salsa music and hip hop all night long. This not a dance club. They should be playing jimmy’s tunes all night long.

    I went into Margaritaville with high expectations. I have been a Jimmy Buffet fan for years and I have enjoyed other Margaritaville locations. This was quite possibly the worst dining experience of my life. We had a party of 14 for a friend’s birthday. We booked the reservation days in advance. We were seated at two separate tables then moved to a larger table halfway through our night. Our server was not friendly, nor was she particularly responsive. It took 15 minutes for the initial round of drinks, and the beers were as flat as a beer can be. There was no carbonation at all in our beers. For $10 a beer, I expect it to taste like a beer. The food was disgusting. The appetizer trio contained the worst Buffalo chicken dip I’ve ever had, and the Caribbean eggrolls tasted like they had been in a freezer for years. When the entrees came out there was universal distaste across our party of 14. The burgers were unseasoned hockey pucks. I wouldn’t feed the fish tacos to my dog. At the end of our evening as we were trying to have a final round and enjoy each others company, the manager told us we had to leave because there was another party coming in. We received our check and were told we had to leave within 5 minutes. This was a pitiful dinner experience. Without a doubt the worst I’ve ever had. I will never return and I can’t recommend that consumers don’t come here enough. Jimmy Buffett would be disgusted that this place claims to carry on his legacy.

    There was a spider in my fries. Literally. It was still alive. The staff was good and the decor is nice but its hard to recover a review from a literal SPIDER IN THE FOOD THAT I STILL HAD TO PAY FOR im ngl. Update: It was a brown recluse.
