Capt. Anderson's
Capt. Anderson's Restaurant
A venerable seafood house founded in 1967 on the Grand Lagoon, known for char-grilled local fish and crab-stuffed shrimp.
Founded in 1967 by the Patronis brothers, who are of Greek descent, the restaurant sits on the dock at Grand Lagoon, where you can watch fishing boats unload their catch. It has earned honors including Southern Living's best seafood restaurant and induction into the Florida Restaurant Hall of Fame. Signature dishes are char-grilled grouper, amberjack, yellowfin tuna and crab-stuffed jumbo shrimp, along with Greek-style charcoal-grilled fish and a seafood platter. It serves dinner only, from late afternoon Monday to Saturday, and is closed on Sundays. Peak-season waits can reach two hours, so arriving early is advised. Main courses cost about $16 to $79, and the restaurant is reached by car around Thomas Drive.
Opening hours
Monday to Saturday from 4:30 PM until about 9:00 PM; closed Sunday; open about 11 months a year
