Customer Reviews

"This unassuming place is a real gem. We've passed it many times on the way to the beach. The parking lot is always full, and now we know why. Great menu of tasty food at reasonable prices. The fried gator, shrimp, and fish were all wonderful. We enjoyed a water view and live music. We'll definitely be stopping again in the future!"

"Florida Native. We've been wanting to go here for a few months now as we've heard it's amazing. It did not disappoint! My husband got the all you can eat shrimp and it was phenomenal! I got the gator tail and it was the best gator tail I've ever had! We will definitely be going again!"

- Heather M.

"Fun little place on the salt marches. We enjoyed looking out over the salt marshes while having a margarita and raw oysters. The service was good, the oysters were delicious with horseradish, lemon and hot sauce as toppings. They were $26 for a dozen. (7/2025) There are some cute shops where the motel rooms used to be."

"We visited the Bayport Inn in April 2025. It was a nice meal on the rear covered deck. It was a warm day (85-90 degrees), but the shade and nice breeze kept it quite comfortable. Everyone seemed to enjoy their meal. And like most places, the prices are subject to peoples opinions. I found most of the prices to be somewhat reasonable. With good sized portions on most of our meals. Although it thought the price of my fairly small draft beer in a plastic cup, was fairly expensive. Not drastically so, but a felt a little overpriced compared to many other establishments we have visited serving the save type/brand's draft beer. I had wings, that were pretty good. I myself, chose an order of 10 wings. With a price of approximately $16 for 10 wings. But at the Bayport Inn, Their wings do not come with ranch or blue cheese dressing. That had an additional charge for me. Maybe it is just me, but I found that to be a nickel and dime situation. To be fair to the Baypost inn, I would have enjoyed them without blue cheese. But most people enjoy the dressing for their wings. And this is one of the very few places that I can remember, that charged extra for blue cheese with your wings. Other than the nickel and dime add ons. We found the Bayport inn to be a nice and enjoyable dining experience. Its positives outweigh the few negatives. So anyway, I feel the Bayport inn is worth the visit. I can see us visiting again, sometime in the future."

"All the food our group had was excellent. Everything from gator bites to seafood pasta was awesome. The bartenders were fun and very personable. Great place, just watch out for Charlie the burger stealing egret."

- John J.

"First time visitor accompanying a regular while visiting Florida. Friendly folks at the welcome, during the meal, and as we left. Our food choices were off of the "All You Can Eat" menu and they did not disappoint! The drinks were well poured ;-) and their meal portions were generous from the first plate served and with each requested refill! All delivered enthusiastically and with a smile!"
