If you’re looking for a laid-back, island-style meal with plenty of local flavor, The Ugly Grouper is a must-visit during your stay on AMI. Don’t let the name fool you—this place is anything but ugly. With live music, open-air dining, and a giant metal grouper sculpture that’s basically a photo-op magnet, the vibe here is pure Florida fun. They serve up fresh seafood (yes, including grouper!), delicious burgers, tropical drinks, and a kids’ menu that makes it a great stop for families. The outdoor setting is relaxed and festive—think picnic tables under shady trees, string lights, and a place for the kids to run around. Plus, there are yard games and often a band/live music that makes it easy to kick back and stay awhile.
