Bayou Joes Marina & Grill

Oh my goodness, where do I start? This was one of the best experiences I think I've ever had at a restaurant. 🤩🥳🥰 On 9/12 we boated here for dinner while we were visiting Shell Island. Three of us were in the party, and two of us had never been here. The service was out of this world (I wish I remembered our server's name 😡). I ordered my food, but I couldn't decide on the fish selection. I told her to surprise me. Boy, she made the perfect decision! We had never tasted trigger fish. Yes, it was fried, but let me tell you, it was PERFECT! None of the fried food was greasy or over-breaded. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. Then the server brought me a "slice of sunshine" pie and sang Happy Birthday! I wanted to cry. 😢🎂🥳 We can't wait to come here again! 🤩🥳🥰

First time to Bayou Joes and loved everything about it. Jennifer was our server and she was excellent. We had the fried Shrimp-Grouper basket, Crab cake app, house made bacon-cheese chips and key lime pie. We try to go to a different restaurant in PCB area every month. Will be going back here often. really cool caribean vibe on the water and all the entree's are different and look delicious. I would get the fried corn instead of sliced tomatoes as a side.

Had a fantastic evening this past Friday. Weather was perfect for sitting on the water and enjoying a great meal. Staff is amazing and extremely helpful when it came to my food allergies. The meal was perfect and the view spectacular. Shrimp and scallops cooked and seasoned beautifully. Shrimp and grits were full of flavor. Dessert was the best! We will be back again and again.

We shared a fish basket with extra fish added and drunk and ugly for dessert. The portions were small and the extra fish (catfish) was quite dry and tough, probably overdone but the dessert was excellent. Would come back just for that!

What a gem of a little place! It’s small and cozy- only about 15, maybe 20 tables. We did have to wait but peak season, we’d wait anywhere. I got the shrimp salad with the mango salad. I’m not a person to take pictures of my food but it was so beautiful and DELICIOUS. I usually don’t finish my meals but I finished every bite. My toddler got a burger and loved it. He also loved his Grammy’s sloppy Joe! The firecracker burger was pretty good too but my husband loved the bottle caps! Also I’m pretty picky about my tea and it was good too. We got to feed the catfish and we saw some raccoons that live in the brush next to it come out. Lastly, I forgot our servers name but she was fantastic as well! Definitely will be going back! They do charge a card fee so bring cash!
