Bert's Bar Review

Not worth the time. Not welcoming to people of color. That alone would get them a 0 if it was an option

Great old-Florida style seafood at the water's edge.

Excellent place for lunch with a view! Good food & great staff! You also have to visit their gift shop across the street!

Location, location, location! Awesome waterfront view, food, and staff!

Such a fun little bar with live entertainment! Perfect for a break off the boat in the beautiful Florida sun. From Ohio, but we ll be back.

Great time celebrating Mom's birthday. Steel pan music was wonderful. Player was great with customers and explained how instrument was made. Very interesting. Food was tasty and reasonably priced. Nice view of water.

Friendly local beer and wine pub. Great view and great prices!

Be careful where you park. They have a guy next door that came on the patio to our table and scolded us in front of other patrons for parking on his property. We told him there was no sign and we were sorry. He said that didn't matter and to go move our vehicle Immediately. The parking spot looked like any other in front of the restaurant. Once we we got over the intimidation of this JERK, we enjoyed the food, the atmosphere and the entertainment. The management needs to address this situation as he is hurting their business.

Fun old haunt with great, friendly folks. Bands like The Mattley Crew get everyone in the mood to drink one more pitcher!

Beautiful, fun, great staff and yummy food. We'll be back

My favorite meal is the blackened group but their clam chowder and fried fish are worth trying. Shady outdoor dining as well as air conditioned seating. Only wine coolers and beer products. Steel drum music in the afternoons. Occasional evening bands.

Steel drum music everyday before 7pm. Live music inside on Friday. Cool place to get some good food and enjoy the water while you eat. Gets busy so come early

Good food, friendly atmosphere,on the water,live bands on Friday and Saturday

We had the blackened grouper, shrimp baskets and fish and chips. The grouper was downright amazing, the fish and chips were very bland and the shrimp was decent. Reasons to come
Berts brew very flavorful,the view and atmosphere.

Bert's is the best. Love the atmosphere, the cold beer and the staff.

The fish n chips were chicken-nugget shaped pieces, nothing fresh or Flakey. The tilapia was 1 thin piece and tasteless. The fries were terrible, greasy and overcooked. Service and decor was nice. But the food was definitely not worth the drive. Being that it's "on the water," we expected much better fish meals.

Epitomizes the dive bar but with great seafood and entertainment.

You have to have been here. Great fish. Just a quaint local restaurant.

Always have a great time at Bert's. Beautiful view as well

Great food, great atmosphere. The band kept the crowd alive.

Excellent food! I had shrimp tacos and we were able to sit outside and enjoy.

Unique location. Great sea view. We always come when we are in Florida. Good food and nice conditions. Always worth a visit.

I personally think its overpriced...

Quality of food is pretty good and the outdoor dock is nice. Other than that I think it's a high priced location with fair service.

Fantastic place! Great food and great staff. Peel and eat shrimp, crab dip, and clams are amazing!

Great Ruebin (sp) sandwich , cold beer , and best of all steel pan musician Skip Elliot Bowman. Parking is a chore ,so we went off season .

My second visit to Bert's. Food was great service was excellent.

We ordered the All You Can Eat. but at the settlement the normal price was calculated, this was the food (fish) really bad. Greasy and already slightly superimposed.
My conclusion: NEVER AGAIN ......

Always stop at Bert's Bar! Staff is very friendly and food and service is great!

Real authentic Fla neighborhood bar! Great atmosphere, music and people!

Entertainment, food, fun and beer! See ya in a few days!

Great atmosphere, decent food, can pull up from the boat.

Love the fish and chips. Calypso magic always plays the steel drums to tie into the water and sea air!

Fantastic fish and chips. Chips are actual chips, not a traditional (french fry) chip, but both are amazing.

Stopped for lunch, we shared the wings (extra crispy and medium) and the mushroom & swiss burger (no bun). It was really good! We loved the outdoor view in the back. We will definitely be back!

Views are nice... food was average IMO. Service was very slow too and the place really is in need of a refresh.

Gotta sit out side on the picnic tables around the back. No one knows ur there and it's so peaceful. Manatees and dolphins all around and the food is really fresh, go figure, it's on the water. Lol

Always fun place to go. The turtle races, cold drinks, great servers, good food and a fantastic steel drum musician with a broad repertoire. Not only carribean.

Great place great food great atmosphere old school Beach Pub

Very nice spot.GOOD TACos.Awesome view.The outside isn't anything special. BUt the insiDE is fun.The back is the best part.

Enjoyed deck, steel drum music, and great burger...

Beautiful view, great entertainment at lunch, but most of all great food.

We sat on a small table for two at the veranda stretched over the blue waters of Matlacha Pass Aquatic Preserve. A wooden dock, with a boat tied up to one of its berths, extended from it, pointing south-east. Looking beyond, you can see the mangrove forest and the pelicans flying over the calm waters.



I felt good and expected to feel even better when the launch was to arrive.

Unfortunately, it was nothing like that. The staff looked an acted so bored that the whole experience went surreal. Their cold and aloof manner was the first hint that they 'just work' there. No smile, no 'Hello,' just gave us the menu.

The menu, as expected, had a lot of seafood options, but to our surprise, all of them with only one exception, 'the catch of the day,' was from frozen products. What makes it even bizarre is that there is a fishmonger shop for fresh products, just across the street, owned by the same proprietor as the restaurant.

I ordered the Catch of the Day. My wife, Buffalo Shrimps and Calamari. The meals looked appealing when arrived, but although my fish was unquestionably fresh, all food came undercooked. The shrimps and the calamari were chewy to the point we left half of it uneaten. The Homemade Chips ware bland, savorless and certainly - microwave preheated.

I liked the ambiance, but the food and the service were terrible.

I wouldn't recommend this place in any case except if you are dying from hunger.

You can t go to Matlacha without stopping by Bert s! Good food and cold beer with a killer view! Live music most nights and fun friendly mix of locals and tourists.

Over rated dive bar. So I gave it five stars. Go for the view. Food pretty good service is OK at best. I would take all my help and train them on service for a week. They could easily double the profit. Needs a good cleaning or is that the ambiance? I get confused

The coke tasted nasty as if the ice cubes were made from the sea water. Furry in the finish, like lazy mouth
Chips were ok but already cold and the fries were a bit greasy. View was ok but unfortunately we just had a heavy rain shower when we were there

The fried grouper is awesome. And so is the beach bread. Great atmosphere and view. Definately a good spot to enjoy a beer and great food

Great steel pan music, fresh fish, and beautiful view.

All you can eat fish fry Tues & Fri. Great live music.

Buy the Sea Events -Pub Crawl Maiden Voyage with American Made Band Whooo Yaaa,!!!

We had a burger and wings there and the music was great. Food is always good and so is the service.

Local dive bar. Food Ok, drinks were good and the water view relaxing.
