At the Island Way Grill, we're all about fresh fish. Our own boats make daily trips to the middle grounds to bring back fresh tuna, mahi, snapper and other local varieties. No long-line fish here-just hook, rod, and reel. If it's any fresher, it is still in the gulf. Most of our cooking revolves around our oak and citrus fired open pit, which sears at an extremely high temperature and adds a delicious smokiness to everything grilled. You'll find an abundance of fresh herbs and only the best quality seasonings. Fresh vegetables are used throughout our menu, and all soups and sauces are hand-prepared. We are also proud to provide an excellent selection of the worlds best oysters flown in fresh for your enjoyment. In addition to our menu, our chefs prepare a varied assortment of daily specials that always add an element of interest to our every-day offerings.

    The staff at Island Way Grill did a wonderful job at making our dining experience enjoyable and providing a celebratory environment for my husband's birthday. They went above and beyond and the food was amazing as well.

    Delicious. Winter time visit so not much of a wait. Busy but it’s a large restaurant. Great food. Tomahawk ribeye and sea bass were great. Will come back!

    Reservation was easy, we got our table. Our server is very attentive. Food is excellent and bountiful. After the salad and the appetizers - calamari and oyster topped with spinach and bacon, I had no more for the entree. I had the shrimp alfredo - excellent and my wife had the meatloaf. We had to take out half of the shrimp alfredo and the meatloaf. Highly recommended. We will back next year for the Sunday brunch buffet!

    We love the Island Way Grille - consistently excellent, reasonable prices for the quality of the food and presentation. Staff is always friendly and accommodating. Our waitress, Penny Lane, was delightful - friendly, warm, not rushed. Even though the restaurant was packed with lots of large parties we felt like we were getting all the attention we needed and the noise levels were manageable.

    Amazing food and amazing location to catch a beautiful sunset. The service is also impeccable. One of our regular go-to spots when we are in the area and look forward to it always.

    We frequently eat at Island Way Grill; they often host events for our family, but this experience was our least favorable. Our server Garret was grossly inefficient, slow, which forced us to ask for many items, including salads and entrees. His ineptness will not preclude us from enjoying future events at Island Way Grill, in fact they are hosting a Christmas party of ten for us Dec 22nd. For that event we requested Emily be our Server as she is phenomenal, efficient, respectful, timely, and processes orders with proficient timing. As for the food, my wife's fillet Mignon was excellent, cooked to perfection and the mashed potatoes were the freshest we've ever eaten, soft, fluffy, moist, and very tasty. My lobster on the other hand was NOT fresh, cooked OK but lacked any flavor, I was extremely disappointed. The cappuccino was luke warm and was almost devoid of any foam. The Warm Butter cake saved the meal as it was fresh, warm, very flavorful.

    Meat station employees were eating as they served. The food was inedible. The cost was ridiculous for the food quality.
