Me and my Girlfriend went to Panama City, FL for my first spring break with some friends. Thinking that it was the last day and we were close to a beach, why not enjoy some great seafood on our last day of our trip. We both ordered and shared. we shared their crab cakes, and Bayou Chicken Pasta. After waiting forever we got our food and it was cold below warm and we both got food poisoning on our last day of spring break. Warning.... The restaurant is not what everyone makes it out to be and we both were regretting not going to Buffalo Wild Wings.

I go to Myrtle Beach 2 or 3 times a year and never miss a chance to head to Margaritaville!! The food is great and the service is phemominal - We went there often on our last visit and our bartender, Patrick, got to know us by name by our second visit. He treated us like regulars!! the atmosphere is spectacular with the memorilbilia and the view overlooking the complex. i would recommend this to anyone looking for great food, great music and great service!! FINS UP!!! PS... try the ring game by the bar... its addicting

It was a quiet off season day at Broadway @ the Beach. We got to JB's for lunch and were seated immediately. The place is amazing to look at. We were seated on a "boat" deck. totally unique and comfortable. JB's music is playing everywhere and a goofy Margaritta Show happens every hour or so (A giant "hurricane" rains tequla into a blender!!). Our server was as cutie as you will see and very good. But, the food,...a Cuban was good, a shrimp salad skimpy and a burger very un-inspired. All the food is $2 -$5 overpriced. but they have a great location AND a Hurricane show!!! Isn't that worth $2-$5 ????

We come to Myrtle Beach every Sept. & Margaritaville has fast become our favorite. We visit them 2 or 3 times during our stay. The food & service are always excellent,clean bathrooms & fabulous drinks! I have never experienced a wait more than 20 minutes, which very typical most places. Have never been disappointed & will continue to return time & again.

Went right after it opened and haven't been back. Stood in line for the patio seating that took about an hour which isn't bad for the summer. Problem was the outdoor entertainment was so loud you couldn't hear the person at the table with you speak. The waiter had to yell to be heard and you had to repeat your order over and over. Absolutely miserable dining experiance. Food was standard chain fare, nothing special.

We visited this restaurant in Myrtle Beach last June and the service was excellent. The food was great just a little pricie but very good! The strawberry daquri was excellent. My girls and their friends loved it. We were a party of 2 adults and 6 kids ranging from ages 12-17. One waiter even took time out of his busy schedule to get his picture taken with my 15 year old "who thought he was hot". All in all a great experience and we will visit again this June when we go to Myrtle Beach!

I have to say this - I loved the food, loved the atmosphere, but hated Margaritaville's Margaritas! HATED THEM! My friend and I each had a different specialty margaritas as well as the classic and the fancy/deluxe--all of them were sickeningly sweet, syrupy and weak. They need to make their margaritas from scratch with either Rose's Lime Juice or real lime juice and not rely on the lousy mixes they must use. They tasted like they forgot the tequila as well. Next time I go there, I am going to ask for a custom margarita and write instructions down for the bartender to follow.

Margaritaville is a Parrothead's Mecca for Jimmy Buffet fans!! My friend and I visited in August 2007. The band was great, the atmosphere was exciting and the food was excellent..they don't call it the "Cheeseburger in Paradise" for nothing!! The only disappointment was being told that the wait time to be seated was two hours, but my friend and I only had to wait 10 minutes because we ate at the bar instead which is "first come first serve". It is very noisy in the restaurant...but what do you expect..it's the hottest place in town!! I will definetly go back....it's well worth the wait!

My husband and I visit MB 2-3 times a year and go to Margaritaville every time and always have had a good time and great food. Wait is longer in the summer months, sometimes up to 3hours, but still worth it. We usually go shopping on the boardwalk while waiting. Bar outside the restraunt is fun. Great Jimmy Buffet music playing! Staff has always been nice and good service.

We go here every year but it's not really for the food. The food is just okay. The menu is an offering of burgers, sandwiches and island casual entrees. Last time I was there I ordered the fish and chips. Not bad but really nothing special either. What makes this place so much of a destination is the energetic and fun atmosphere of the place. And it's such a cool looking building, inside and out. The wait at this place is exorbitant....I'm talking hours. My suggestion is to skip the food here and just hang out at the bar and have a few really excellent Margaritas and enjoy the atmosphere, or go later (around 10) when the dinner crowd has died down. Insider tip...they accept call ahead seating here which basically means that you get to skip ahead to the front of the line. But this is limited to a small number of people and must be done months in advance. So do some planning.

We went here twice the week of 9/2/2007 and had a good time.2nd trip was a wait of over an hour but they have 2 bars there, one inside and one outside.You are within 50 ft of some shops which can kill some time as well. the meals were filling and our waitress was polite and fun.Bar tenders were kinda stiff.i would recommend this place to anyone.

We had made call ahead seating reservations 3 months in advance for a trip we had planned to South Carolina. We came down with family for an anniversary party. We had been to Margaritaville in Florida and loved it so my husband and I recommend this restaurant for the celebration. We were told when we called for the reservation that this was for call ahead seating and that we could get there early for an 8:30 reservation and we would be put on the list right away. We were told that our wait time would be cut in half. We arrived at the restaurant at 6:00 in the hopes that we would be only waiting 1 hour which is more than a reasonable wait time. My husband was told by the hostess that we could not sign in until 8:00 and then we were not guaranteed our seating until approximately 9:30-10:00. We were very upset by the misinformation given to us by the person on the phone. We had small children with us and everyone was dressed up for the anniversary celebration. Needless to say we were very disappointed with the management in this particular restaurant. We did end up eating elsewhere and we were seating almost immediately. We had a party of 10 and your restaurant missed out on our business. We will probably not be making any more requests for seating at your restaurant again and we will not be recommending you to anyone until the policies change. Things were much more organized and efficient in Orlando. Many people were turned away that evening and were very disgruntled. We passed by the restaurant at approximaely 9:15 and there was no waiting outside. They should not tell people that there is a 4-5 hour wait if there is not. You lose a lot of business with this policy.

This was my worst dining experience on the Grand Strand or anywhere in the world. Had to wait for a pager for a half hour then wait for another hour. After ordering had to wait 50 minutes for the food which wasn't as good as food from a fast food restaurant. The waiter kept hitting us up for drinks while we were waiting for the food. The restaurant was 86 degree's when the ourside temp was 94 degree's. Will never go back. Well over rated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I really have nothing bad to say about Margaritaville. There was a wait but that is to be expected given the time of night we were there and the amount of people who come to visit the restaurant, the atmosphere was enjoyable in the late night. I've been to the restaurant during the day and the experience was completely different. Overall it's a good place to eat.

I truly feel that my 3 hour wait was not worth the food at margaritaville. I felt that the menu selection was poor and not enough variety. The waitress was awesome but it was so noisy that it was difficult to hear the person next to you and although they said the air was at 65 degrees it was approximately 80-85 upstairs as we were all soaking wet with sweat when we left and we are not big people. It was an experience I will not do again and I will never recommend Margaritaville to anyone. and by the way DON'T USE YOUR DEBIT CARD!! MY NUMBER WAS STOLEN AND SOMEONE TRIED TO PURCHASE 528.00 worth of stuff over the internet the next day!!!

This place is a joke! we had to wait about 2 hours to be seated (we tried to beat the rush by getting there at 4:00). The waiter seemed like he'd rather be someplace else. I talked my daughter into ordering from the child's menu. I told her that the mac and cheese would have to be great because it cost $6.99, instead they brought most of a box of kraft mac and cheese. It's pretty bad when a 9 year old looks that disappointed. My salad literally had water in the bottom of the bowl. The lettuce looked very old. I thought I was never going to be done with it. This was such a disappointment. My husband and I went away thinking "are people really this starved for entertainment!" there are too many good restaurents to wast one meal here. The only good thing I can say is the new girl that made the balloons made my daughter laugh. My family of 4 spent $60.00 it was one of the worst meals and not worth the wait! .

Because of the reviews on this site I knew exactly what do to. The wait is long but if you do it correctly it flies by. My fiance and I went at 4:30 and were told it would be a 3 to 3 1/2 hour wait. I already knew that so we planned on a late dinner. We put our names down and shopped at broadway. We had so much fun together, and then we went to margaritaville. It was the most fun jess and I ever had at dinner. The service was great, the food was fantastic. We got calamari for an appitizer, then I had the coconut shrimp and she had a sirloin and shrimp. We also had a bunch of the different drinks that they offer. I thought the bill was fair with food and drinks (about $60.00). We are use to that though. They had jimmy buffet playing, and then came the live band. Kieth was a waiter and we was fantastic. And the people on stilts were alot of fun. We would so go back again...and again....and again..

Great atmosphere! However, not worth the wait. It is a good place to go for a late dinner and catch part of a great house band Tues. - Fri. from 9pm+. The waitress messed up order. My 11 year old son and I wanted exactly the same thing but the waitress brought him a child's burger and kiddie cup while bringing me his medium well adult burger. We swapped burgers and he loved his burger and I ate an overdone kids burger. Family of 4 burgers & fries with 1 appetizer and 2 Margs. was $61.

The only bad thing I have to say about this place is the wait. It is RIDICULOUS!! We tried to go one day (June) with a wait of 4 hours. We said No!!! Went back the next day around 2pm and had to wait 2 hours. Not as bad and really wanted to go in there. LOVED the Atmosphere. It was so cool. Hurricane Myrtle was great and the kids had a blast. They also loved the people on stilts making the balloon animals. The noise was loud, but to be expected at such a fun place. We will go back to this place, but maybe in the off season... : )

I wish I could give more than 5 stars to the atmosphere of this place. It's so cool! I was so skeptical about trying it due to the whole "novelty" factor. And it is just that: a novelty restaurant. The menu is slim on choices but the food is actually really good. Beware of the Volcano Nachos. Tasty but it's huge! Sure, it's loud. Sure, the wait is long if you get there past 5. But again, it's a novelty restaurant. You totally have to try it. It's so worth the wait. If you're not the party type or not into having a good time, don't bother. We don't want your negative attitude to give a review. Just walk on by. If you are into partying, stop by for a rum runner and start singing. SALT! SALT! SALT!

The wait is just not worth it! We are used to waiting to be seated at popular restaurants during the busy summer months, but the wait here is just ridiculous. Too many great restaurants to waste that much time waiting!

Margaritaville was one of the best places I have ever eaten. Their Quesadillas were awesome, along with the volcano of nachos that looked good and tasted great! My aunt and mother really enjoyed the margaritas and the take home glasses. I especially loved everytime 5'oclock somewhere came on and the big blender began making Mararitas. If I return to Myrtle Beach I will be sure to stop in and eat again at Margaritaville.

I have visited Margaritaville MB twice. Both experiences were great. The first visit was during the summer with my boyfriend. We waited about 45 minutes for a table, and our wait staff was overly attentive to our needs. The environment was noisy, but family-oriented. My second trip was later that same year, with my mom. Again, same great atmosphere, same great food, same great service, even in the off-season! As far as recommendations: the Cheeseburger in Paradise and the Cuban Meatloaf Sandwich are great. Sure it is a little expensive to eat there, but in my opinion, you really get your money's worth, as the entrees are not small. If you'd like to go but avoid the long wait, I recommend going during the lunch hours. You may not see the live band, but there will still be plenty of entertainment for the whole family. As far as the noise level is concerned: if you ask to sit along the patio/deck area, the noise will not be as bad, Just don't sit near the stage in the evenings, because it will be very hard to hear once the band starts to play.

We're going to Myrtle Beach next week and have already planned to dine there at least one night of our stay.

This is a great place to be entertained and fed. Keep in mind that it is noisy, and the wait is long, as it's in a resort area, but worth it. The food is great for it's type, and if you go at night you get live entertainment for the price of a "cheeseburger in paradise" (which is yummy) the waitstaff is friendly and attentive, and the whole experience is fun. We've eaten there at least 8 times over the past 3 years vacations, and have been pleased every time..

I went to Margaritaville for the first time with my boyfriend a couple of weeks ago. Neither of us had any idea what to expect. When we arrived the waitress told us that there would be a thirty minute wait. That was a little long, but she gave us options for activities to fill that time. She handed us a pager and told us that it would work anywhere on site, which included the bar, the gift shop, and a couple of the neighboring shops and boardwalk area.

We decided to go to the gift shop. I bought several gifts for friends and family and then we hit the bar. We each bought a delicious drink and just milled around enjoying the atmosphere. Once we were seated our waiter was really pleasant. He explained the restaurante and answered any questions we had including the fact that there was a dinner show of sorts every hour and fifteen minutes. We each got a cheeseburger type meal....which was wonderful. I couldn't help singing Cheeseburger in Paradise to myself when my food came. "I like mine with lettuce and tomato, Heinz 57 and french fried potatoes, big Kosher pickle and a cold draft beer. Good god almighty which way do I steer." - JB

Our glasses were never empty and our waiter remembered everything that we'd ordered without having to be retold. The restaurant was loud inside, but that to us just seemed all part of the scene. Like a huge beach party that got pushed inside because of rain. Then the show started. We were on the top level so it was a little hard to see everything that was going on, but the energy was infectious. We saw a guy on stilts that was getting the crowd into singing "It's five o'clock somewhere." and the hurricane began to turn faster. Jim Cantore from the Weather Channel was hosting the mock hurricane report on all the TV's. Then out of the center of the huge funnel cloud that hung from the ceiling descended this huge bottle of tequilla to dump liquid into this massive blender that sat on the floor. It was fabulous. Really entertaining.

Another surprise came at the end of the meal....our bill was only $30......with alcohol, sweet tea's, and our food.

A really great experience, but you have to keep an open mind...this is not an average restaurant. This is a beach party gone wild, so don't expect quiet conversation and annoymous dinning. You are at a party and you have a shared experience with everyone else in the place. How can you not, when everyone around you is singing out loud without shame?

I will be going back.....no questions asked. This weekend actually.

I have been to Broadway six times and have eaten at several restaurants , all were good BUT Margaritaville was the BEST. I've gone back eight times. Yes,you usually have to wait a long time to be seated,but it is absolutely worth the wait.The food is really good and you get large portions. The drinks are delicious! The very best part is the hurricane show and the STILTWALKERS.The very best stiltwalker is a girl named Lisa.She is very agile on those things and her ability to iteract with the guests (of any age) is amazing.Her wit and humor is a real treat to everyone. The kids love her and the balloon hats and animals that she makes. She's a real gem!!! I plan to keep going back every chance I get. I recommend it highly.

We visited in Aug 2006 and thought we'd try this new restaurant. We've been to Myrtle Beach several times and each time try new places. We got seated right away and then got bombarded by the guy and girl on stilts. They were constantly in our faces making it hard to talk about anything. Even when we requested they bother somebody else they wouldn't leave our table. They were really pushing us to buy drinks - really expensive. We just wanted to enjoy our meal. We decided because of the constant badgering from the people on stilts and the waiter, who wasn't much better, we won't be returning to your restaurant. The food was just ok - but overpriced.

We ate at Margaritaville on Jan 1 - so there was no wait. It was our second visit; we were there in April and it was long wait and so-so food then, but on Jan 1, it was the best meal we had of our entire trip! The food was sooooo good! Everyone got something different and shared and we loved it all. I had the Pulled Pork sandwich which was really good with a great flavor and a great portion size. The fries were hot and the seasoning on them was awesome. We had two rounds of various drinks that were really good. Our server (Patrick) was super attentive and we had so much fun we wished we could have rewound the weekend and came there (instead of the awful Dead Dog Saloon we went to on New Year's Eve.) We will definitely go back! Perhaps the secret is going in the off season.

I was disgusted with the management in this establishment. A manager actually took it upon herself to demand that the bartender add $20.00 to my tab for which they were holding my debit card and not tell me. She decided that since we had been there an hour and a half before they began a cover charge she was going to take money from me anyway. Luckily the bartending staff was much more professional than their leadership and told me of the charge and apologized profusely. The manager then proceeded to throw a humiliating tantrum to rival the most rotten of two year olds. Needless to say I will never set foot in such a place again and I urge everyone who does to be cautious.

I must admit that I did not want to go to this restaurant. I usuallu avoid the theme restaurants because they are usually over crowded and are tourist traps. I had the best time and can not stop reccomending this eatery to every one. I had a blast and the food was awesome. Our server was great the manager was making the rounds. The hostess was very friendly and they even had a mime! I looked around at the other patrons, and young and old were having a great experience.

Wow, I'm so surprised to see such great reviews for this place. My family and I visited last October and we didn't care for it. It didn't take long to get seated, but we waited for 45 minutes to get our food after we ordered and it was not crowded at the time. The service was fair. The food was not very good, though the drinks were great. I had a crab cake sandwich and it was extremely fishy. The price was high, but I expect that in Myrtle Beach. We'll try someplace else next time.

The food here was really good! Since we are late lunch/early dinner eaters, we ate around 2:30pm (which avoids the dinner crowd) so we were seated immediately, waiter was wonderful and the food was just simply great. Prices were very reasonable compared to most places we tried during our stay at Myrtle Beach. Loved the pulled pork sandwich and shrimp. We would certainly eat here again!

People need to realize what they're going to get before they enter this eating establishment. The name says it all. Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville. Of course it's going to be a complete novelty experience. Of course it's going to be over priced. And of course, you're going to wait a long time to be seated because everyone wants to check it out and experience it. It's extremely loud inside, the food and drinks are over priced and the service is good but not exceptional. I enjoyed it none the less. If you've never been, by all means, go.

I called ahead two weeks before we were there. I was told it would cut our wait in half. Still waited almost 2 hours. However, it's not their fault. People just won't leave once they're seated! It's just too much fun! The food came pretty quick & was good and hot. We (4 adults & 2 children) had the Volcano Nachos as an appetizer and they were AWESOME. I think we all had the Cheeseburger in Paradise except for our 5 year old grandaughter who had an entire box of Kraft mac & cheese. We had to ask the stilts guy to come & make balloon hats for the kids. He passed our table several times but was too busy making balloons for attractive young women instead of kids. He did make the balloons for the kids though once we asked. We sat right in front of the band which was very good. It's no wonder people don't want to leave. The gift shop was jammed packed & way over priced, but it didn't stop us from dropping a few bucks for Buffet memorabilia. We had fun & will probably be back next year.

The hype about this restaurant is sure big and we could not wait to try it. After waiting a very long time (over 2 hours) to be seated in 100 degree weather (and we did get there before 5:00) it did seem somewhat disappointing. We were seated in the upstairs part of the restaurant and it was VERY hot and uncomfortable to say the least. Our server was very good and our food was good but in our opinion it certainly was not worth the wait. It would not be a place we would go to year after year.

We have visited twice. Seated within 30 mins. Our first visit the food wasn't so great wouldn't recommend the steak and shrimp over seasoned. Margaritas small and expensive.Server was very friendly. Nachos were excellent. $105.00 for 5 people and two were children. Kids really enjoyed the the show and balloons that were made for them. That was last August. We came again this past May and it was a different story. Seated on arrival. Server was very Friendly again. We ordered the nachos (great as usual), jamistica wings (amazing), We all had cheeseburgers in paradise (good burger didn't finish, fries were excellent), and I tried a tropical hurricane drink it was good. $55.00 for 4 people. We all had an excellent time the balloon guy was just great even made me a hat, very funny, singing along was fun. If you don't like alot of noise ie singing, talking this is not the place for you but, its good to cut loose sometimes. We are going back again in August. My kids know all the Jimmy Buffet songs now and it is so fun to watch them sing along at the restaurant and have a good time. great family moment.

Margaritaville definitely lives up to all of its hype. The food and service was wonderful, and the atmosphere was the best in town. I really enjoyed the live band, however I also enjoy loud, live music. Those who dislike loud music would probably dislike this feature. The choice of seating between inside with all the music or outside on the boat-like structure is very nice. There are also two bars, both inside and outside. This is a great party spot, and the staff was helpful to our intoxicated guest. ( Lol. ) The only drawback is the hour or more wait to be seated. Get there early to prevent a very long wait. Also, the merchandise is very unique and humorous, ranging from t-shirts, license plates, to drumsticks and banners.

It's a great place to go for both atmosphere and food as long as you have the time to spare.

For the time we waited... it was worth it. We had a 2 hr wait, but were able to shop while we waited, so it didn't seem that long.

Our waiter was Keith, and he was absolutely awesome. My 16 yr old son, had a problem with his food, and Keith quickly resolved the problem. All of the other food was fantasitic and the show and atmoshphere was awesome as well. They had a great band with live music. WE ENOYED THE WHOLE NIGHT THERE.....will return when back in Myrtle Beach.

We have been in Margaritaville three times over the last six months. The service was great, we had to wait 2 hours over Thanksgiving weekend and it was later in the evening, but other than that a half hour at the most seems normal. We enjoyed the bands and the kids on stilts! I find them entertaining and so did our twenty something daughters:)

Two Margaritias and you don't mind the noise:) - We tell our friends to go at least once while they are in Myrtle Beach!

We went to Jimmy Buffet's while we were in Universal Studio's in Orlando, WOW! This was our first time at a Margaritaville restaurant and we went 2 night's in a row. The nacho's are the best I've ever eatin' in my life, both kid's (5&11 boy's) were very excited the whole time,wife had Pina colada's and I had numerous Bahama Mama's, best drink ever. Sorry to hear others have had bad experiences at other location's, we had a friggin' blast. Just remember that everyone has good and bad nights even in the restaurant business, I've been to places that people rave about and thought it wasn't that great, but hey, opinion's are yours to keep. PEACE.

1st time for us and we liked it! Try the volcano nacho's (enormus portion). They turned on the Hurricane which is fun to see. We came in for lunch and had the nacho's and some margaritas. The decor was really interesting and hard to describe without going into too much detail. This place is a must go to see, highly recommended ! ! Would like to go back at night and when the band is playing. Definitely a fun place.

We went last summer in the middle of peak season and compared to the others, the wait time was about the same but the experience was awesome! We had a party of 8 including my then 10 month old daughter and she had just as much fun as the rest of us. When planning our vacation for the end of June we had to make sure we incorporated another trip Margaritaville.

We went as a party of eleven. We were told a 21/2 to 3 hr wait which was fine at the time, because we would take waiting and going to the shops. At almost four hrs later.. we finally went up and told them this was crazy.( and yes we were mad .) We had some children and did not want to leave thinking we would be called at any time. we also had to wave down people to get us drinks and appetizers and it just seemed like an inconveniece even before the wait. Our waiter had apologized many time because he was told what had happened and he was trying to make things right. We then got our food and the kids burgers were over cooked, My seafood pasta salad had an old lettuce taste to it and a steak was over cooked as well. Two side items were not warm and I really cant remember anything else. IT JUST WAS AWFUL. My girl friend wanted to go because she said the food was good and the kids would have a blast. Which they did for a while with the band and the guy on stilts But, that kind of wait.. and not to have awesome food or even an apology from someone other then the waiter who of course.... Is going to and we know who did not make it a bad experience.

We recently dined at Jimmy Buffett's and we were very pleased. We had lunch without any wait time for seating. The young lady who served us was excellent. The "Hurricane" was running the day we went and it was great. We didn't get to see the people on stilts who make the balloons. One of the waiters told us they come in for the dinner crowd. We thought the decor was beautiful and very colorful. I had the Cheeseburger in Paradise and my husband had the fish sandwich platter. Both were excellent.We were very surprised at the large portions, so when you go, better be hungary, cuz you get your $'s worth! Lois, Smith Mt Lake,VA

This place is such a blast! My parents, me, my best friend, my sister, her best friend, and my step brother went last summer. The entertainers where giving out balloon hats and all of us kids had been connected with balloons, it was very funny. This is the best place to go if you are wanting to have a great time with family or friends. My family and I can't wait to go again this coming up summer.

We were there over the Thanksgiving Holiday and had a great time. The service was good, the Crabcake Sandwich was excellent and the Margarita was wonderful! It was very loud, but the band was very good and the kids on stilts were fun to watch. We are looking forward to going back in February!

The girl on stilts kept my nephews entertained as you could see straight up her short shorts. The volcano put a big question mark over my head. If they would all hush we might could enjoy our meal.

We were a bit disappointed with this Margaritaville. We've been to Orlando's and to Key West's Margaritavilles and had a blast! We planned to eat "cheesebugers in paradise" but after over hearing the comments from one of the tables and seeing the burgers ourselves we decided to just get some drinks. The live entertainment was good but the lack of Buffet songs and the stilt walker's balloon air guitar through 2 sets was annoying and distracting. Just didn't expect a young cover band in a Buffet joint. Also after finally getting seated and upon settleing our table bill, an already paid bar tab (2 beers) was included on our bill. No worries, the server was friendly and working hard so we didn't make an issue.

Very disappointed in this place. I'm a local and have been twice, once for dinner and the other for lunch.

Two thumbs down on the food. I had a steak the first time and a cheeseburger in paradise the second. The first time in the hostess was a little curt. The steak was tough as leather. They forgot the potato and brought it out after I had finished my meal.

The music however was great. The second ocassion I had the cheese burger in paradise. I've had better burgers at Wendy's at a fraction of the cost. They using processed American cheese on a thin burger. Bad News.

The food was pretty good ...the jamaica wings were excellent...the cheeseburgers ok...the salmon very yummy.A very good pina colada.

The hurricane was not running when we were there either...because our country had just been hit by two very awful real ones( including one named Rita like the one in the place) so the company decided it was in poor taste...makes sense to me.Still had wonderful atmosphere and the boy got a ballon dog.

A parrot head paradise (NOT)! I was extremely dissappointed in Margaritaville. I am a parrot head. I've seen Buffett 9 times in concert, belong to a Parrot Head Club and have over 30 CD's. I looked forward to going to Margaritaville.

We went, and they had the hurricane turned off, so we didn't get to see that. The stilt walker asked for requests. I asked for "We are the people our parents warned us about", he looked at me as if I were stupid and said "Are you trying to make a political statement"...No I was requesting a BUFFETT SONG!

My husband asked for grapefruit/juicy fruit, and the stilt walker said "OK, I'll put down Margaritaville and cheese burger in paradise!"

The food was mediocre. The margarita's expensive at $7 a pop and not very big, and the kiddie menu expensive $8 for mac n cheese and a drink.My daughter was dissappointed that the stilt walkers were making every one balloon animals, and didn't make her one.

My husband and I will remain die-hard Buffett phans, but we are very dissappointed in our experience at Margaritaville!

Where to begin? What an awesome place! Jimmy's got a gold mine here! The colors are vibrant, the music is festive, the food is scrumptious, the staff are always smiling. Okay, so we waited FOREVER to be seated, but they made up for it! There are lots of places to eat: inside there are high tables, low tables near the band and boats you can sit in. Outside has two areas: the sandbar that has adirondak chairs around low tables as well as the boat deck that overlooks the water. The balloon hats are great and everyone loves the "storm" that occurs every 1-1/2 hrs. We spent a bunch of money on food and booze, plus in the shop, but it was a blast. Of course we'll be back.

Got there early and was seated inside one of the boats with my husband and 4 children (ages 3-10) in about 10 minutes. They told us it was going to be about 30 minutes. Food was great! Service was great! My children loved it except for the hurricane. One of my children got a little scared. My husband wanted to come back for his 40th birthday which was july 12th, but we couldnt afford a five hour trip. Maybe next summer we will come for another vacation. Keep up the good job because I have recommended the restaurant to a few of my friends.
