There’s no better place to get into “island mode” than the Snook Inn, and that’s just where we headed for our first night out on Marco. The outside, waterside dining in the Chickee combined with the island music is guaranteed to get you focused on the reason you’re here: fun in the island sun! Arrive by land or arrive by sea – but make sure you get here!
One of the greatest things about the Snook Inn is that whether you’re looking for an adult night out with someone special, or seeking a place to take the family and kids where they won’t do damage – the Snook Inn is the perfect choice. It’s great fun to watch the very little-ist of diners dancing with their parents to the live island music. The bartenders are incredibly entertaining and never forget to “ring the bell” for a passing boat. In addition to a steady stream of yachts and sailboats, if you’re lucky you’ll see a great show from the dolphins that play in the Marco River next to the Chickee.
Check out the Snook Inn website at www.snookinn.com as it gives you tons of great information about both the ambiance and the menu. They typically have some of the best fish around and you can’t go wrong in opting for the fresh fish special of the day. We always load up on the app-sized portions of the Smoked Fish Spread, Conch Fritters, and Shrimp Denny. The Snook Inn is also known for their salad bar; you won’t want to miss that! Besides the fresh fish entrees, our favorites are the Grouper Sandwich, Grouper in a Bag, Blackened Tuna Cusabi Salad.
We will definitely be back to the Snook for many more lunches and dinners.
