  November 2018Bert’s Bar & Grill, Pine Island Rd., Matlacha, Fl. Here is my 2 cents on the food and chit chat.A bit windy and the cool side. Great for Bert’s. On the water with a nice view.I got blacken mahi mahi, house made chips, hush puppies and cole slaw.The cole slaw was creamy, chips hot and crispy and the hush puppies were hush puppiesBUT the blacken mahi not so good. It was not extra spicy the way I ask. NOR very dry as it should be. It was like they just dipped it in a sauce and tried to fry it without any success.But it was a beautiful view with a blustery winds and a nice server.So come for the view….AAAHHHH be aware parking can be difficult. Going to it and leaving the lot. First here is some chit chat and tips before the food. If you go,go by boat. It is easier to park a boat than a car.. Plus the view is much better and safer. If you drive go there during the less crowded times . Weekdays and in the morning. In front of Bert’s there are only about 8 car spaces.( no handicapped was seen)… Back in if possible. Your car bumper is literally less than 10 inches from the roadway. The speed is 35 MPH..The best way to enter or exit is when a pedestrian is using the crosswalk which is about 25 yards away. (Lights & warning signals come on so you may make your escape.)Is it worth the struggle…Oh Yeah. The staff are excellent. The view and serenity of the water is great.I order a sweet ice tea.MMMMMM sweet and cold. They had a good daily menu specials, but I chose fish and chips.It was more like fish nuggets and fresh potatoes chips. The nuggets were fried to a golden brown with only a minimum of coating. The flesh was hot steamy and so tasty. The chips were homemade potato style chips… Sliced oh so thin and cooked to a crispy goodness. ( It was a lower than usual humid day which added to the crunch.) I ate outside it was so comfortable. Yet be warned they allow the lower caste of humanity to smoke cancer laden cigarettes in the fresh air on the patio. Ahh the homemade coleslaw was a delight for my tongue. I only wish I had a larger portion.Over all great food, great view, and great staff.
