FLORIDA:

Captain Charlie's Reef Grill
12846 U.S. Highway 1
Juno Beach, Florida 33408
561-624-9924
This place is unbelievable!  You can't see it from the road because it sits sideways in a strip mall next to a beauty shop.  Walk in and its like you are at a shack on the beach.  The menu is all fresh and the specials are two pages.  From cracked stone crab to flash fried bahamian style snapper the menu is eclectic and at the same time comforting.  You can try anything here and it will be delicious.  Prices are reasonable and you can get great desserts from homemade vanilla ice cream to peanut butter pie!
A casual atmosphere, moderate prices, and succulent fresh fish, any style, are the heart of the place.
You won't be sorry.
