Bayport Inn

Megan was our server and she was excellent very personable. As she took our order she noted that one in our party had the same phone cover. She really took good care of our party of 6. And the food was served hot. Tasty gator nuggets, garlic Parmesan wings, cod sandwich with sweet potato fries and soap were all good. We ordered margaritas and were happy with the price...2 for $7.00 during happy hour. They also have live music, but we left before it started. There was a renovated motel next day that is part of Bayport Inn where vendors were quickly redoing while open for business.Was impressed that they totally redid the deck and restaurant after being devastated by the 2024 hurricanes. They reopened in December with all new tables, a completely renovated kitchen and new awning.

I just thank God Bayport Inn didn't go out of business with the hurricanes. By the grace of God, they are still serving food. This is my favorite restaurant and I gotta tell you the prime ribs are out of this world. I love the gator tail nuggets. I've never ordered anything here that wasn't delicious. I don't like fried calamari, but even the fried calamari was good that my friend had and I asked for a couple more pieces.

Fun restaurant with inside or outside seating. Pretty busy and most people seemed pleased. I had calamari appetizer, then a burger and onion rings. Food was all good. No complaints. Service was good. I would go back for sure.

The service and food were so good we came back the next day ... ask for Giovanni . Oh and the portions are huge too !

Ordered wings, never came. Shrimp and scallops tepid at best, waitress said be careful the plate is hot, plate was as cold as the meal. Clam chowder watery and a few pieces of clam. Beer was good, sweet potato waffle fries, and French fries were good, everything else...never again!

What a totally wonderful experience! Service was awesome. Marianne was fantastic. Very enjoyable restaurant. The food and wine were delicious and plentiful. The ambiance is super casual, family oriented, and old Florida. Nice view outside if you choose with live music. Inside comfortably air conditioned. Free parking. Highly recommend!

Waitress was attentive and polite. Service was fast and timely. Ambiance was what I expected for the area and the outside set the tone, causal. Now, the food was terrible in our opinion. Mushrooms stuffed with crab? No... stuffed with breadcrumbs, tasteless. The New Eng Chowder had a speck of clams. Which is odd, clams are inexpensive. Crab cakes (dinner) if that's crab it must have been flown in from somewhere there isn't very good crab. Hey! The Diet Pepsi was delicious! So, what could improve? The food! Waffle fries were cooked beyond recognition. Crab? Was it crab? Do yourself a favor and go to a different restaurant.

Bayport Inn is definitely the locals favorite seafood joint in the area as four different people directed us here when we randomly asked people where to go for lunch. Situated at the dead end of HWy 50 Cortez Blvd on the water, we were greeted by a old rustic wood inn with a great large open patio on the water. Seafood Focused menu was heavily skewed to fried options, a few could be broiled, but not many, and an Italian section of standard items and prime rib & 2 chicken items was also available. Friday's they have all U can eat fried shrimp or cod which was the most recommended item by locals we talked to as best value.For appetizers, we ordered steamed clams which was a plate full of tiny, underwhelming Manila clams and a good portion of six large, but relatively tasteless, heavily breaded crab stuffed mushrooms.Since I was limited to fried fish with cod (unexciting) or grouper ( have that all the time in Florida) being only fish offered as broiled, I chose the plate of 3 soft shelled crabs which were ample and nicely crispy. My wife had the fried cod which she described as OK.Adding 2 draft beers and a good tip strictly for the good friendly and helpful service the bill came to $100 which struck us as high for an essentially mediocre meal.

Prime rib and all you can eat shrimp the service was excellent. We love Rachel and the place is very nice. They redid a very nice job after the storm definitely go back to Bayport. Excellent food excellent service.

This place has been my go to place since 1997, today may be my last visit. I don't know if I have ever used the word terrible on a restaurant.The salad was brown, limp lettuce, tomatoes were not ripe and hard. We ordered 3 side salads and 2 we delivered we had to ask the waitress where is the third salad. I ordered the Scallops and Shrimp over breaded and greasy. The sweet potato fries were stuck together and cold. I was sure the restaurant had changed management or has been sold.
