What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Junkanoo Below Deck offers a lively waterfront dining experience with tasty food and great views, though some guests have encountered issues with service disorganization and potential hygiene concerns. The atmosphere is praised for its fun vibe and beachside charm, making it a popular spot despite occasional service inconsistencies.
"We had a group dinner (all one bill), and it wasn't too expensive. The drinks were good, and the pizza was amazing. Even though it was busy, we only waited for about 15 minutes. While you're waiting, they have a deck game you can play. It's an open concept with a view of the back bay. It also has a bar with T.Vs.
Overall, I would recommend it."

"Service was OK, I sat by the bar. It took a while for the bartender to take my order, I had the grouper and it was really good. The bartender never check on me after serving my food. I would come back because the view of the water was great and I will try a different food item. The hostess and host were good though.."

The atmosphere was spot on!! Great little spot and hidden gem in Ft Myers!! So glad we found it!! Best fish tacos I have had since arriving!! Great job!!"
