5 Stars for Stacie’s Shining Hospitality! Runner up are the fine Cypress Specimens they’ve saved on the back deck. Delicious Bloody Mary & Handmade Hushpuppies

About Capt. Bob Beck’s Marina Cafe

Capt. Bob Beck's is a waterfront institution on the New River — the kind of place where Jimmy Buffett plays on a loop, a parrot squawks in the background, and the sunset over the water makes you forget you had somewhere else to be. Regulars rave about the bartender's picks — the creamy crab dip and handmade hushpuppies are crowd favorites — and the staff's warm, bubbly hospitality keeps people coming back again and again. The menu is extensive and easy on the wallet, with something for everyone from fried and broiled seafood platters to jambalaya, crab melts, and pasta. The vibe is casual, family-friendly, and full of character — the kind of place where all the locals seem to know each other and you leave feeling like one of them. Come find your new spot on the water.
