Jenifer Mathis: I tried the "reel deal" which happened to be grilled swordfish. I chose the bienville sauce for it and was very pleased. Try the chowder! It's amazing! Also, great live music and a beautiful sunset!
Kayla Arruda: Great atmosphere! Right on the beach, good food, good music, and great staff.
Megan Lester: Runaway Island was AMAZING! I was with 5 other people and everyone loved their food! I got the Pane'ed Chicken and it was honestly the best chicken ever! Great sauce, good flavor, and super tender!
