Family Date: Squid Lips Overwater Bar & Grill

Hey you guy’s! Best. Family. Date. Ever. For reals.??

We went to an AMAZE place called Squid Lips Overwater Grill in Sebastian, FL.

My grandma Rosie got us a gift card for Squid Lips, so we decided to go on a Sunday around 1pm. We were supposed to meet our friends Ben & Bethany, but there was somehow a miscommunication that we weren’t going, so they went alone. But, we ran into them while there and they bought us each a Yuengling.

Because a ? while eating fried food just goes hand-in-hand like white wine with a good clam pasta.

This is a pretty groovy place to be.

You never know what wildlife you will see: porpoises, dolphins, various birds, fish, manatees, etc. We only saw pelicans and seagulls that day but we couldn’t stay for long because we had somewhere to be (such is life!).

We ordered the calamari appetizer to start. Oh my word, y’all. Amaze-balls!! ⬅ {is that even a word?}. If not, I totally just made it one! We were so hung-ray that I forgot to snap a photo of the calamari- but let a girl say this: “BEST. DAAAAANNNG. CALAMARI. EVER.” It was over-the-top. ? The kids absolutely LOVED it. Like they wanted more- and begged for it. So did I. It was fried perfectly in a seasoned flour and served with some yummy marinara.

There’s one of the famous Yuengling’s that our friends bought us from the table near us instead of with us (I’ll just keep the communications between the women next time ??). **Wink Wink

Beau may have fell in ♥️ with his burger ??. His only complaint was that he ordered it medium-well and it came out well-done, but not a biggie because it happens to us at home sometimes too. Nope- we can’t be perfect all the time. Even though this mamma cooks, I still make mistakes. Human? ✔️.

The Overwater Grill Burger is described in the Squid Lips menu as:

Half-pound, oak-grilled fresh, never frozen, Angus beef burger topped with crumbled cajun bacon & melted blue cheese.

The kiddos meals were nothin’ fancy but they enjoyed them. Mamma took a little taste of Nanette’s grilled chicken and it was juicy and oak grilled to perfection. ?? Jax chose the cheeseburger and fries. That kid could eat a cheeseburger every.dang.day if we let him. Sidenote: it’s probably my fault since I craved cheeseburgers and ate them my entire pregnancy (prior to that I strongly disliked hamburgers- not even a lie…say whaaaaaatttt?!?). Now, I love them. So, I can thank Jax, and Jax can thank me. That’s what I call a mother/son win-win.

Mamma here had the fried clam strips. I am a lover of fried clam strips and I am pretty sure they love me. ? They were Y-U-M-M-Y.  We quickly devoured our food, got our check, and paid the bill.

After we finished our food we walked out the back of Squid Lips and onto the docks. It was gorgeous outside. A little windy, but still gorg! We decided to feed the fish. My grandma had mentioned how you can buy the food for 25cents (like a candy or gum machine) to feed them right off of the dock.

Well, as you can see from the series of photos below- we never got to feed any type of fish. Unless, of course, you consider all of the seagulls swarming around us and diving into the water to eat the fish food, feeding fish.

It was one of the most hilarious moments we’ve had on a family date. We wanted to feed the fish, but instead, were dodging the possibility of being pooped on by a flock of seagulls! All of the photos seagulls below I took with my eyes shut and hoped for the best. Not even lying…

After narrowly escaping being pooped on, we decided to take a look at the surroundings, because seriously- just look. Need I say more?

We will definitely, without a doubt, be heading back to Squid Lips in the future. I’d like to head there for an adult date when they have live music. How romantic would that be? Dinner, drinks, and live music on the water with the hubs. Then taking a nice walk on the docks at night? Boom! ??
