Bonita Bills Waterfront Cafe

Awesome view! The customer service was awesome! Very nice gentleman helping everybody park has been amazing every time we've been there. We were going into Dixie fish company and he encouraged us to come in for drinks after dinner. Next time we go we'll be going there for dinner 👍

What a neat place! Fun, music, boat (The Bachelor Pad) is still stuck in the dock, food and bar. Beers are reasonably priced. Friends took us to this great Dive Bar and we enjoyed it. You order what you want to eat and drink, grab a table and enjoy. There was live music, a beautiful sunset and friends enjoying the end of a beautiful day.

Awesome spot right on the water! Lots of wildlife around. Open early, good food including a breakfast menu, and reasonably priced overall. Staff is always welcoming and friendly. I forgot the best part…. they have Jell-O shots!

Relaxed waterfront atmosphere with lots of birds. Food was pretty good and beer was ice cold. Had a great time with some friends and we'll definitely go again next time I'm in town.

Beautiful location on the bay, love the boat that's resting on the dock. Great place to relax and grab and drink or two.

Great low key joint. It’s serve yourself but it works great at this small joint. Food was excellent, beer and wine only. They had karaoke the night we stopped in, that’s always a hoot.

Laid back spot, with music. Food menu is limited but the peel and eat shrimp was good.

Bonita Bills is a "hidden" gem sitting just steps from the more glamorous Doc Fords off San Carlos. Tucked under the bridge and on the water, views of the passing boats and surrounding homes keep your visual senses busy. Should you time your visit right, your ears can be treated to local musical talent live from inside the bar.
The bar offers a range of beer and wine. No liquor, I think, helps to keep this bar a little more laid back.
From the kitchen, you can catch a simple menu for breakfast early or lunch/dinner from a fairly large sample of local favorites. Try fresh caught peel and eat shrimp or have a tasty cheese burger. Don't forget to start off with a basket of conch fritters (my personal favorite).
Pull up on a boat if you can catch an open spot at the dock. Bonita Bills is just one of many places still picking up the pieces from Ian, but expect to find more room outside for boats in the near future as the cleanup and reconstruction continues.
So stop by, have a seat, enjoy the sun, the music, a cold beer, and relax!

Great spot right on the water offering a good variety of tasty food. I highly recommend the bacon cheeseburger with waffle fries. The live music helped make for a perfect night out.

This rustic gem on the water is always a fun spot with a musician always playing.
Bonus is fresh peel and eat shrimp!
Don't forget to sign the hurricane Ian boat.

From the moment we arrived, the bartender was very friendly. They do not serve food at the tables and you must pay at the bar. The food was delicious, the prices are extremely reasonable and a very nice atmosphere.

Bonita Bills is a local favorite! Less expensive than neighboring Dixie Fish Company and Doc Fords, it's self serve yummy seafood , burgers 🍔 and cold drinks ! A casual waterfront atmosphere with live entertainment daily makes this quaint spot very Bonita ! But who the heck is Bill ? Lol ! PS. The service can be a bit sketchy since it's DIY !

We just had Seltzers... service was great, we love Tiff & the boat is cool!

Super cute little Cafe on the water. The biscuits and gravy are by far the best ever, the biscuits are so fluffy! I added and egg and their hashbrowns. The hashbrowns arent like minnesota ones but they are still just as good. The mimosas are incredible, they sure know how to make them goooood! We went back 2 days in a row while visiting for breakfast! Highly recommended. Very pocket book friendly and tasty!

Incredible fresh seafood, the peel and eat shrimp are delicious and Huge! Tiffany was amazing at the bar. Everyone working there was friendly, full of smiles as well as highly attentive! It was packed late Sunday afternoon without it feeling too busy for us. Can't wait to go back!

Great atmosphere, live band! Food was fresh and delicious. Beer ice cold! The staff is nice and service was pretty quick.

Longest wait was at the dock while waiting for other patrons to leave. Very limited dock space as the area continues to rebuild from the damage.

This is a must for water front dining and fun.

Neat bar and grill. Had the Mahi sandwich. It was very good.

We love this dive bar, get away from the hustle and bustle of FMB by slipping under the bridge and taking in the views,food, great new friends, music while looking at some of the wreckage Ian left.

A busy spot with some of the best shrimp I have ever had. Eating at the waterfront tables was such a pleasant experience. The food was great, the beer was cold and the service was fast. All in all, this will be one of the places I long for when vacation is done and I have to go home.
