THE EAGLE GRILLE AND MILLER'S DOCKSIDE BAR
The Eagle Grille
Delicious Food at Two Iconic Waterfront Boca Grande Restaurants
There are actually two restaurants on property at the Boca Marina – The Eagle Grill and Miller’s Dockside Bar & Grill. Both restaurants and the marina recently underwent massive needed renovations. Locals and longtime visitors will remember the entire location as “Miller’s Marina”, which hosted numerous Tarpon Tide Tournaments in the second story screened in porch that now houses Eagle Grille. The bar menu pays homage to the history with drinks like “Millerita” and “Miller’s Mary”. The restaurant has a full bar and more than ample wine selection.
The Eagle Grille
The Eagle Grill is only open for dinner and offers a wide menu variety including several dinner salad options, a yummy ahi tuna appetizer, steak and fresh fish. You can’t go wrong with the burger, fried fish, shrimp or oysters.
The Eagle Grille can be found at the Boca Grande Marina on the second floor, overlooking the marina basin, Boca Grande bayou and Charlotte Harbor. The Eagle Grille offers a more “New England” feel, with replicas of sailing ships, brass compasses, and ship’s wheels.
Casual Dining at Miller's Dockside
Miller’s Dockside is much more casual lunch or dinner spot with a sport's bar vibe. Open daily, sit overlooking the boats at the marina. If you are there at the right time, you might even see a local fishing guide cleaning their catch of the day at the filet table. Stick to the burgers, fried fish and shrimp baskets, salads and make sure you order the ahi tuna nachos. Afterwards, but sure to visit the Marina Gift Shop for a t-shirt, fishing shirt or hat to document your visit!
Making Dinner Plans at the Marina...
Depending on when you arrive, the marina can still be busy place. Several fishing guides use the marina as “home base” for their fishing operations. Before dinner, you can often see captains cleaning their catch from the day’s charter as their clients tell fish stories from the day on the water. In fact, if you interested in a charter, all you have to do ask. Most captains will accept reservations on short notice or know another captain who is available.
In short, The Eagle Grill is the quintessential island waterfront restaurant. You will enjoy a great meal while also experiencing an active marina. Reservations are accepted and comfortable seating is available for large parties.
