We will not be going back EVER
We recently visited Margaritaville on our honeymoon. We are Jimmy Buffett fans and being from Illinois, we do not have many opportunities to visit any of the Margaritaville Cafes as there are none in our area. This was our first visit. Being at Margaritaville, I of course ordered a margarita. I was told that my perfectly valid state ID was not acceptable. In Illinois good drivers recieve renewal stickers that are placed on the back of a license rather than going to the DMV to renew. Even though I was 21 before the original license expired I was still denied a drink. The waitress and manager had an issue with Illinois rewarding their good drivers by letting them renew this way. If I had had a DUI I would have been allowed an alcoholic beverage! My new husband tried to explain that we were on our honeymoon, that I had other forms of ID, that I was of age even before my still instated ID had "expired" in the eyes of the staff (it's not actually expired! the renewal sticker is what makes it not expired!) I was still not allowed to order a drink. However, my husband was served beer and was not even ID'd! I had perfectly valid ID and couldn't order a margarita at Margaritaville and my husband was never even carded! Really?! No one from Illinois who goes to the Cafe can order an adult drink if they are a good driver? I was very disappointed and on top of that the food gave me diarrhea! Aside from that when the manager came to speak with us the waitress must have told her it was our anniversary because the manager stated that she would be glad to give us a free dessert, which we did not accept, since it was our anniversary. It wasn't our anniversary, it was our honeymoon as we had already explained and the experience left me wishing we hadn't wasted any part of our honeymoon visiting Margaritaville
