BONITA BEACH BALLOON BAR & GRILL – Restaurant

A Cheers-style bar and grill on Bonita Beach Road, beachy and unfussy, where the raw bar and the fryer do most of the talking. From the sea come bang balloonin' shrimp, castaway calamari, crabby-crab balls, peel-and-eat shrimp, raw oysters and Flo's beer-battered fish bites. From the kitchen, the Balloon Burger, a Maryland-style crab cake, grouper Reuben, shrimp po' boy, baby back ribs and Lukey's lamb chops. Specials anchor the week: Tuesday tacos, Wednesday meatloaf, Friday fish fry, Saturday prime rib. Sunday adds brunch from ten. Key lime pie or churros close. Happy hour drops oysters and wings alongside the drafts.
