We had such a fantastic experience at Parrot Key Caribbean Grill! The island fried chicken was absolutely amazing — perfectly crispy on the outside, juicy and flavorful on the inside, with just the right amount of island spice that made it unforgettable. What truly made our visit extra special was how warm and welcoming the staff were. We were celebrating our mother’s birthday, and not only did they make her feel incredibly special, but the entire restaurant joined in singing her Happy Birthday — it was such a joyful and heartwarming moment! From the food to the atmosphere to the genuine hospitality, Parrot Key exceeded all our expectations. We’ll definitely be back — and recommending it to everyone we know!

We had a great couple of meals here with standout dishes and friendly service. Appetizers We started with some favorites—the Chilean sea bass nuggets were excellent as always. The alligator tail was a surprise hit—the most tender we’ve ever had. The crab dip had a nice flavor, though be aware there’s a slight kick that might be too much for those sensitive to spice. Entrees We tried the ribeye with shrimp and creamy chimichurri sauce (rich and flavorful), the Captain’s Catch pasta (bold and spicy), the fried sampler basket, and the Cajun chicken, which was by far the spiciest of them all. Everything was tasty, but we’d probably skip the Cajun chicken next time—it was a bit too hot for us. Desserts We sampled all three options: the key lime pie was refreshing, Nana’s cheesecake wasn’t our favorite, and the brownie volcano is definitely one for the chocolate lovers—it was a hit. The outside feel was our favorite part if this resturant!

Parrot Key, The quintessential waterfront, marina bar and grill. We found ourselves coming back here multiple times, despite all of the food options accross Ft. Myers on our long weekend vacation for both lunch and dinner. The atmosphere and overall vibe was exactly what we were looking for. The food and drinks were great and our server Shawn was friendly and attentive making great conversation and recommending some of the restaurant favorites. Parrot Key should def make your list when coming to Ft. Myers- make sure to sit on the high bar tops on the water and enjoy the passing boats and wildlife.

The food was amazing. My mouth is watering as I recall the shrimp and grits. Wife had the seafoodPaella, also awesome. Drinks were made perfectly. Outdoor on the water, beautiful. There are air conditioning units set up with fans that keep the temperature reasonably comfortable which is important in SW FLA.

This place is awesome. A Delicious food, amazing atmosphere, live music, and great staff. It's like a Lil pirate museum on the water, offering food, boat rides, a souvenir store and is great for families or date night. We'll definitely be back!
