The Lazy Flamingo II

Frommer's Review

The Lazy Flamingo is a down-homey type of place where the food is consistently good. Locals and visitors alike become repeat customers, flocking here for the reasonably priced food, a wide choice of beers iced down in a huge box behind the bar, and the sports TVs. Some of that beer is used to steam shrimp and a collection of oysters, clams, and spices known as "The Pot." Best pick, however, is grouper from the charcoals, as either a main course or a sandwich. The flamingo-pink menu has sandwiches, burgers, fish platters, and very spicy "Dead Parrot Wings." Fillet your own catch, and the chef will cook it to order for you. Happy-hour prices prevail whenever football games are on.

A sister institution, the Lazy Flamingo I, 6520-C Pine Ave., at Sanibel-Captiva Road, a quarter-mile south of Blind Pass (tel. 239/472-5353), has the same menu and hours.
