John HelmsA Sun-Drenched Masterclass in Brunch and Booze Rating: 5/5 Stars If you are looking for the ultimate cure for a slow morning, The Lazy Lizard completely nails it. From the moment you walk in, the vibe is exactly what you want when you’re shaking off sleep: laid-back, welcoming, and front-loading some of the best flavors in town. The Drinks Let’s start with the immediate priority: the Bloody Mary. It wasn’t just a drink; it was practically a side dish in the best way possible. Perfectly spiced with a serious kick, balanced acidity, and a loaded garnish game that lets you know they mean business. It’s vibrant, savory, and sets a high bar for the rest of the meal. The Breakfast The kitchen here knows exactly how to handle coastal breakfast classics, elevating standard morning fare into something genuinely memorable. Shrimp and Grits: Absolute perfection. The grits were unbelievably rich, creamy, and smooth, acting as the perfect bed for plump, beautifully seasoned shrimp. The savory sauce tieing it all together had incredible depth—the kind of dish where you find yourself scraping the bowl to get every last drop. Eggs Benedict on Crab Cakes: A total knockout. Swapping out the traditional English muffin for crisp, golden crab cakes is a genius move, especially when the cakes are packed with real crab and minimal filler. The poached eggs were flawlessly executed with a rich, velvety run, and the hollandaise was bright and velvety without being heavy. The Verdict The Lazy Lizard manages to hit that rare sweet spot where a casual, relaxed atmosphere meets high-caliber culinary execution. Between the top-tier mixology and a kitchen that treats coastal breakfast staples with absolute respect, this spot is an absolute must-visit. Bring an appetite, order a drink, and lean into the lazy pace.

Annie BarlumStaying at the Hampton Inn in Spring Hill made for a really quick trip over to this spot while visiting our daughter. It is a classic coastal resort feeling bright type of bar that you cannot help but notice from the road. The staff was welcoming and friendly from the moment we arrived and they greeted us right away. They asked if we had reservations and even though we did not they still sat us very quickly which was a nice surprise. One tip for others is that the tables by the water were all reserved so specifically calling ahead for those is the way to go if you want that view. A live band was playing and they were really good and added such a great energy to the room. All of the drinks were excellent. Their drinks were perfect pours and the beer was cold. The food arrived remarkably fast and everything was fresh and flavorful. That Aloha Burger was delicious and the unique lizard brand on the bun is a very cool touch. Our daughter's boyfriend suggested the alligator bites and they were perfectly fried and fun to try. We also really enjoyed the linguine with shrimp and sea scallops and the fried pickles were good especially with their tasty ranch. Our waitress was attentive and made sure everything was handled professionally throughout the entire meal. Everything from the dining area and lobby all the way out to the parking lot was spotless and clearly well maintained. There is plenty of easy parking and the whole atmosphere is bright and inviting. This is a reliable high quality spot that made for a perfect vacation dinner and we had no complaints at all.

Karrie SchrierGreat family dinner while visiting the area. Lots of options for adults and kids. The water view was nice. Our table ordered shrimp, stuffed shrimp, fried haddock and the hombre burger. Not the best stuffed shrimp I’ve ever had but decent. Everything else was delicious and we would order again. The highlights would be the loaded baked potato. The melted crispy cheese on top is a great touch. The hombre burger was also a star. The 2 jalapeño poppers in the burger were really good! Overall the spice was mild not super hot. Lots of parking and service was quick.
