Why Travelers Love The Deckhand
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
Went for brunch and it was great. There were many options to choose from. They had a football foods menu for the weekend, a brunch menu, and their general menu. I would go back! Pictured is the Steak & Eggs with the filet, the Yard Bird sandwich, and the Pulled Pork from the football menu. Really awesome restaurant with several seating options, 2 bars, and an actual swimming pool for the kids to keep them entertained while you relax. Its slightly "higher end", so, not for those on a tight budget... but worth a visit with good food, great service, and close to all of the island hop tours and such. This place is phenomenal. The food is awesome and the vibes are unmatched. The owners and staff are all down to earth and give exceptional customer service. I highly recommend this restaurant whether you want to take a dip in their pool, get drinks at the bar, or order their amazing food. I will definitely be back!

Great food & service! We ate here our last day and wish we came sooner. The staff were very friendly and everyone worked well together so our food came very quickly. We ordered the gator bites, grilled shrimp dinner, mahi tacos & margaritas. This is a definite visit to add to the list each year
