King Neptune

The chef was out so half the menu was unavailable. The seafood soup was full of seafood and very good. I didn't taste the conch but heard it was good. The grouper only served fried was essentially nuggets which it didn't say on menu. It was excellent. The shoestring fries were what they were they slaw was ok. The Mahi was very thin and cooked a minute took long a little dry. We ordered the puppies after our mains when they came and I reminded our sever who was super busy. It's a small local place. She said they were working on them. I said we were good since we were done and she apologized. As we were paying the bill, she brought us the puppies to go on the house for the confusion. They were excellent. Iook forward to going back and trying the rest of the menu. Again with a full house and people waiting, our server whose name i forgot did a very good job and taking care of us

Spent a few days with a friend at his place in Stuart. His family has had a place there for decades and he said we absolutely had to enjoy a meal (or two) at King Neptune - their favorite local eatery. All I can say is that the #1 rating here on TI is spot on. The place itself is fairly nondescript and you'd be forgiven for driving past and not thinking much of it. That would be an absolute mistake, bordering on a crime. The dining area is pretty small so the capacity isn't more than maybe 20 people. So if you have to wait, do it because it's worth it. Server was friendly and efficient. Cold beers, tasty appetizers (we enjoyed conch fritters), and the special the day of our visit was fresh tripletail tacos which were delicious. Dessert was one of the best renditions of key lime pie I've ever had. Keep it up King Neptune, next time I'm in the area I'll surely be back!
