This place does not look like much on the outside but it is a jewel! The view from the dining room is wonderful, there is live music most nights, the servers are really friendly and the food is excellent. Everything is fresh and cooked perfectly. They have generous portions and a nice varied menu.
Florida casual. I just cant get enough of sitting outside on a perfect day along the water enjoying excellent food while listening to music, and that describes my day today. Of course I cant stop with a one line review.Berts is located along the road to Pine Island in Matlacha, an interesting stretch with all sorts of colorful restaurants and shops. Our first visit, so we played the wide-eyed tourists. All of the seating on the desk was taken but another couple graciously allowed us to join them, and we had a nice conversation. You just cant beat Florida friendliness, even when recently transplanted from Pittsburgh. It was an excellent start to our late lunch.As for the food, which is what you really care about, I started with some good and salty Clam Chowder. Plenty of clams and plenty of flavor. I asked what was the most popular dish and our server recommended two, the Fish Tacos and Fish & Chips. I went with the second.The Fish & Chips was so not traditional English. There was nothing wrapped in newspaper and no need to as there was no excess oil at all. The chips were not fries but instead very thinly cut and very light potato chips (could have used a little seasoning). Instead of a couple of heavily battered pieces of fish there were several small fish pieces, almost like fish nuggets, light and delicious. I also had and enjoyed a nice sample of the deep fried oysters.Parking may be a bit of a challenge. In addition to right in front of their restaurant, Berts also has some additional parking areas. We parked at the other end of the shopping area and walked around and over the bridge, which for us was a nice way to take in the surroundings. Berts was an excellent choice for us today.
Aweful service. I sit in this restaurant right now. We have been here for 75 minutes and have no sign of our food. Have to yell at our server as she passes is to get attention for drinks. Will not return.
Not bad, Not great. This place has a great location and I think that helps it with its business. My wife and I ate there twice. The wings are probably the best thing we got. I tried the appetizer of Smelt, and it was just not for me. It’s a house specialty, which is kind of like a sardine that is deep fried. Some may enjoy it, we did not. The burgers look great and taste pretty good, too. A friend said the blackened fish was pretty decent. Its reasonably priced and has a great atmosphere.
Host seamed pissed off and unconvinced by the number of people waiting. The bar is beer and wine only and the bartender seamed to be friendly only to the ‘regulars’. The ceilings had dust bunnies hanging down from the fishing pole decor. We left before we had a chance to try the food.
Some people. Berts is a very different kind of place. It’s not a suit and tie place and it’s not a ball-room dress ,crystal water glass kind of place . The people are real and for the most part are very good hearted people who once they know you would either give you the shirt off their back or help you bury the body. The music for the most part is pretty good with an occasional kicks butt . The place has a great view and there is never any trouble in there. You can bring your Mama or your hot girl-friend and they are safe when you leave to take a leak, I love to go to Berts with my girl-friend and to just have a beer or two. The motorcycles out front shouldn’t intimadate anyone because those guys would probably be the first to offer you a ride home if you couldn’t do it yourself. You never know who you can be sitting next to…A C E O or a proffesional ball player or a musician , but a berts , it doesn’t matter. The people are real…and everybody has a story or two. I love this bar !
I’ve only had the cheeseburger but it was pretty darn good.
