Doc Ford’s Jungle Terrace will close for a week, then reopen as Boca Ciega Waterfront Bar & Grill

Guests can expect refreshed interior décor along with new food and drink menus when Boca Ciega Waterfront Bar & Grill opens.

HM Restaurant Group purchased the 2.2-acre waterfront property in 2021 for $3.45 million.

The site, formerly home to Green Iguana Bar and Grill and Joe’s Crab Shack, includes a 6,750-square-foot building, a 4,150-square-foot porch and deck, 306 feet of water frontage, and transient boat slips.

Doc Ford’s Jungle Terrace opened in December 2022 as the group’s second St. Petersburg location, following the restaurant at the St. Pete Pier.

While the Jungle Terrace location adopts its new identity, the Pier, Sanibel, and Fort Myers Beach Doc Ford’s locations will remain open as usual.
