Me too. I thought Crazy Crackers was a restaurant and bar.

Do the Crazy Cracker owners just run the bar and the Surly Cantinan's run the restaurant?

Let me get this right;
Surly Cantina is now above Crazy Crackers which used to be the old Duffys, across from Cafe Roma which was the old Lizards Landing and not to get confused, Crazy Crackers is the bar & Surly Cantina is the restaurant.

Do I have this right? :)
No ticker anymore. Next vac will prob. be the Fl Keys.

Ok, so here it goes...
The Crazy Crackers is located in the building between the Connections building and Meada's Plaza BEHIND the three shops that are across from the Cafe Roma/Joe's DINER (not Joe's BBQ) building. Prior to Crazy Cracker's it was Lizards Landing, prior to that Duffy's, prior to that The Backyard. The Crazy Cracker's kitchen is now run by the Surly Cantina. Soooo, if you eat food while you are at Crazy Cracker's, then you are eating SURLY CANTINA food.

I went by there yesterday morning and checked the menu posted. All the favorites, a few new things, new combination of old favorites and hours posted of 11am to 11pm. Also asked the Crazy Cracker's if they will still have their old menu items, they said "The chefs from Surly Cantina have taken over the kitchen. It is their same menu from the old place that has replaced ours. Hope this helps."

Is this making sense now?? It is a little confusing!

So, is the restaurant still named "Crazy Crackers" or is it "Surly Cantina" or "Surly Cantina at Crazy Crackers"?

Sounds like Surly Cantina food in a Crazy Crackers wrapper.

thank you stjohnjulie, for a newbie this all makes perfect sense. :lol: I"ll just stand in the middle of the road and yell out for the Crazy Crackers owners to poke their heads out and follow that. :wink:
We'll find it somehow, just keep asking someone till we do.

I know that the Surly Cantina's old signs said, "Wharfside Cafe's (really small at the top) Surly Cantina (big bold in the center)" So I would guess that this is something similar..."Surly Cantina @ Crazy Cracker's" or "Crazy Cracker's Surly Cantina"

As far as where it is at, a little more clarification (or confusion), they are two walk ways that lead behind the building that lead you to Crazy Cracker's. One walk way is between the Connections building and a shop called Precious Dreams. The other walk way is between the shop Now and Zen and the building where the Bayside Mini Mart is at.

***edited to correct the store name from The Silver Lining to what it is now, Precious Dreams***

I love the fact that one must give directions based on places that are no longer there, but you have to give the history so people, based on when they started visiting, can find the place. I used Duffy's as my constant there. Not Desmond...Duffy's.
