Best WLM Reviews
The only reason they didn't get a 5 star review is when we come in they said sit where you want.ALL THE TABLEs WERE DIRTY WITH DISHES. SO WE SIT AND WAITED.??????? for 15 min. Finally I got up and moved the dirty dishes to another table.the wife wiped it down.still no waitress.i went and found forks.still no waitress.I went and found glasses and the tea. Still no waitress. The buffet was fair.the fried chicken was Awesome..no check. Well? Guess ill see if i can run the regester.we aren't the only ones fining for them self's..geez.the need staff.
We look forward to coming back here every year! The food is great, staff is amazing, the wait can be long but once you've had the food you'll completely understand the wait. They have all kinds of games to play while waiting/eating including live bands, karaoke night. We had the pleasure of meeting one of the owners while we were there and absolutely love her! Totally down to earth and fun!
( You guys need to bring back the delicious dip!????)
Castaways has great food and continues to work on the ambiance of this little restaurant located in the heart of Mexico Beach. The owners are friendly and hands-on. The food is excellent - we had a group of 13 on Thursday night and everyone was very happy with the food. We've watched as they've renovated what was once a dumpy bar, repainted, updated the menu, added a great Saturday morning breakfast buffet (don't miss the best-tasting biscuits and gravy you will find anywhere), obtained their liquor license, and this summer, upped their game with additional updates to the interior. I hope they will continue this hard (and expensive) work, perhaps by adding music, and other cosmetic updates. The food is so reliably good, i can't wait to see this restaurant continue to grow!
Let me start on a positive note. The food was good and the portions large; the establishment seemed very clean even if the building seemed a little old. The live music outside was nice as well. However, it took about 50 minutes to get our food. The manager did come by and apologize for the delay though. Our service wasn't the best. We saw the waitress a total of 3 times during our hour plus visit, but had a large gratuity added to our bill. Not a good decision for a family of five, budgetwise.
This was a great restaurant across the street from the beach. The staff were wonderful and I have never seen someone refill drinks faster. The food was outstanding. The fries were perfect as well. Our table's orders ranged from a burger to fish sandwiches. The grouper sandwich will have us coming back to have it again and try more of the menu. The burger was ordered medium and it actually came out that way. Make sure you add this to your visit list when in the area!
My family was in town for a week and even though there are many local restaurant choices, my family ate at Castaways twice! We had the same waitress both times and she was so nice and friendly and helpful. She told us her Dad is their chef and we were all very impressed. Every single dish we had we loved. The first time we came was for dinner and we made a return trip for breakfast.
For dinner I had a shrimp pasta that had basil and tomato, it was big enough for 2 people to split. For breakfast I absolutely recommend the pancakes and the biscuits and gravy.
Definitely highly recommend this place! They have a large patio with live music some nights as well.
Super friendly staff. The food was very well done. The Saturday options are not vast but enough that all can enjoy. This place is hopping for the breakfast!! The crab cake had a nice crust, with a most interior. The chicken philly was superb. Prices are reasonable.
This place is awesome. First visited over spring break on a whim and it was fantastic, had to come back again during our recent visit to Mexico Beach. I had the chicken Romano and husband had shrimp and grits. So good! It's wasn't busy and the waitress was super nice.
