Sip happens… might as well make it a Cortez Cooler. 🍹☀️ Bacardi Pineapple, Bacardi Coconut, crème de banana, and orange juice—because hydration is important.

Our 16oz bone-in ribeye is already a showstopper, served up perfectly with crispy fries. But why stop there? Make it a surf & turf masterpiece by adding shrimp or scallops to your steak!

Because the only thing better than steak and fries… is steak, fries, and seafood.

“Perfect setting, friendly atmosphere, great food Sit outside for the fun atmosphere. There is usually live music and lots of folks dance. The setting could not be more perfect…right on the water’s edge with lots of pelicans, egrets, herons, and other birds around. You can arrive by boat and come right up the ramp.”
