Downtown Punta Gorda, the Fish Shack will bring a new coastal dining experience to the harbor. The concept blends approachable Florida seafood with elevated touches and is designed to be “a place for everyone,” offering a relaxed yet refined atmosphere where locals and tourists can feel at home.

Guests can expect walk-up counter service, harbor views, and a menu featuring peel-and-eat shrimp, fish sandwiches, chef-inspired daily specials, and craft cocktails. With a focus on quality ingredients and a welcoming environment, Leroy’s Fish Shack is set to become a go-to dining destination.

“We are thrilled to see construction underway,” said Corrie Gates, Senior Advisor with SVN Commercial Partners. “ Leroy’s is a homegrown concept with a strong local following and we can’t wait for their customers to join us at Fishermen’s Village.”

The restaurant is expected to open later this year and will add a fresh energy to Fishermen’s Village’s growing mix of shops, dining, and entertainment.
