This place was honestly a little scary! I wouldn't want to be there by myself at night. Freaky dolls and memoribillia that didn't make up for the terrible food. Sometimes more is not better and this is the perfect example. Overly priced food that was not tasty! The huge cake portions were just ok. Cinnimon buns don't go before fish!... more

Go here for the experience I guess. I suppose every tourist just has to visit here once, it's so famous. It's a mad mess of knick knacks, a train that runs overhead, and Christmas decorations (year round.) Everyone wants to say they've been there I guess, but I would not go back. Besides their crazy mess of clutter, this place... more

after a sub par lunch consisting of bland sandwiches i was shocked to find a third dinner guest scampering across my table. while i do love the work of kafka, i do not need to see a four inch roach gazing at me from across the table. stay clear of this place as there are many more dining options on... more

Like dirt and claustrophobic? Then, go the Bubbleroom. WAY BAD. The BubbleRoom has Scouts that wait on you. Nice enough...but the food is terrible...fishy fish, dried potatoes, frozen veggies glazed with syrup, fatty pork, greasy shrimp. Bread? Good. Cake? Good. But...let me tell you...this place will BURT your BUBBLE if you want fresh native Florida fish, and cleanliness. Don't go.... more

How exactly can you get a bad piece of grouper on the Gulf coast of Florida? Go to The Bubble Room in Captiva, that's how. And you'll pay 28 bucks for the honor. Terribly fishy grouper. Greasy fried shrimp. Heavy on the carbs -- sticky buns and "Bubble Bread" (drenched in butter and coated with parmesan) to start. Plantains, rice&beans... more

This is our first trip to Captiva. Someone from home recommended the Bubble Room. It was a very unique experience. The wait staff were dressed as zoo keepers and the restaurant was full of memorbilia and each room had a different theme. The wait staff were very pleasant and service was excellent. We had just stopped by for a drink... more

I live in the area. The first time I was here was 25 years ago when I moved here and I have always enjoyed it everytime I go there. It is fun for kids to see the trains go around and the toys and christmas characters in the restaurant. we had homemade potatoe chips with cheese and bacon. Sinful!! Shecrab... more

Well done meal, but the desserts are the real stars! Fun for anyone with a good attitude, that enjoys old Hollywood. The 2 year old at the next table was riveted by the train that was riding around the track at the top of the room- it was great watching him follow the thing all around the entire time! Leave... more

The Bubble Room was good for a giggle. Food was pretty forgettable, but not bad. What really stood out was the best cocktail of our whole trip - the Key Lime Colada. I tried recreating one on my own, but no luck. If you are going out to Captiva to have a lookie-loo, then stop in, but don't make a... more

This is the definition of kitschy. Staff are dressed in scouts uniforms and every available space is filled with some type of plastic toy or figurine and worth the walk-through to see the enormous amount of clutter on display. The rooms are dimly lit in the evening and certain areas are certainly creepy. Food is greasy, and as a result,... more
