Jimmy’s Buffet was a totally different restaurant, asshole. That was the place Jimmy Page opened selling soul food—a cuisine that, weirdly, he claimed to have invented himself with nothing else to base his recipes on at all.
Yeah, you don't want to stand out from the other buffets in downtown Vegas. Asshole? Why don't you try one of these steaming Jimmy Buffet custom bucket hats on for size.

2man is not a supervillain. He’s an Everyman fighting for good not evil, but he doesn’t have any powers. He’s got a big chip on his shoulder because he’s just a regular dude, tries to hide it and to make that his power, but it’s not. It just makes him kind of lame. He tries to act like he’s not which makes him a tragic hero dude that gets taken out in the first 5 minutes of the movie and everybody forgets about… like deboo without all the weed and burritos. You and @Flamencology are the villains of this story, he being more super than yourself.

@Flamencology wouldn’t be caught dead in Margaritaville, silly.

for sure. We all know you’re too good for such nonsense.

In this story, you’re trying to destroy all MLCRs with your mind bullets or whatever, 2man is trying to stop you, deboo is stoned eating burritos and ramen (see what I did there), peen is you’re henchmen who will probably ultimately betray you. While there will be death and destruction, you’re actually doing it to make the world better. You’re like Thanos without the glove.

Have I ever been to a Margaritaville? JB is from here; he even wrote a song titled "Biloxi". Margaritaville is like 5 miles from the family homestead.

If I'm not mistaken, this is the at least the third attempt at a Margaritaville on the Coast. Never been. I hear it's overpriced.

The very first one wasn't affiliated with Jimmy Buffet or any casino, it was a privately owned hole-in-the-wall tavern, long gone. Now that one, I'd been to.
 
I just realized I hadn't answered the OP's question. Yes, but just for drinks. Can't recall eating there.
When I bartended at a restaurant in Jacksonville we used to get off of work (early cut) on a Friday and drive down and get a hotel room near City Walk. We would hit Margaritaville, the Bob Marley bar and the one that serves Hurricanes with the piano bar. Pat O'Briens? Anyway, a partial yes.

Listen here, Buster. I’mma gonna buy you a round trip ticket to Phoenix so @DdBob can kick your ass and nibble your earlobes.
I thought the Jimmy Buffet bucket has was a good zinger. You drew first blood. Err....butt.

We were just at the Arizona California border last week on a Colorado River boating vacation. There were lots of strange happenings going on near the border. I'll stay out of Arizona thanks. Unless I have to cross the river to get a new skii rope from Spanky's. Ours broke.

There was a thousands shoe graveyard. A bunch of shoes propped up on sticks, or hanging from abandoned structures with bizarre notes written on them. Donkeys were biting each other, hee hawing and making whoopee in the bushes. And there was a huge alien rock. I'll pass on the free trip to Phoenix.

"We're almost at the border honey. It's right past this mountain with the weird rock thingy".

Nope. The only two times I've been in the vicinity of one were in Vegas and Key West and neither time was getting swazy in Margaritaville in the cards.

I see that I’m going to need a better screenwriter.
 
Went to the corporate Margaritaville once before a concert. Cant remember what city, maybe Nashville but not sure. It was loud, crowded with fat people in flip flops downing cheap Margaritas, and my taco was just ok but I guess thats a compliment since it took forever to arrive. Two poor saps were playing acoustic covers over the din. Once was enough havnt been back.
Also visited a place on the intercostal waterway down around Gulf Shores or maybe Destin not sure but it was supposedly owned by Buffett's sister. Can't remember the name of the place. We arrived by pontoon boat and ate lunch and had a couple of beers. Pretty standard old school gulf bar and grill. Food was good. I would go back.
I saw JB a couple of times back in the 70s and was a fan. His later work though kinda got to be a "parroty" of itself IMO.

You don’t. I’ve got this, but if you’re unhappy with it so far, you’re REALLY not going to like how it plays out.

When going for your big finish, Scotland’s premier wedding DJ shows up spinning mashups of Jimmy Buffet and The Clash, you grow confused, you should hate it but you don’t. At this point the Hawaiian Californian shows up with his disc of blues jam power. These don’t have the desired effect. They fill you with hate and you grow stronger. You’re ready for the final blow, and then (this might be my favorite part) a bird flys in with the power of Nordic metal intensified by soaring female vocals. It’s too much for you. The hate has grown too strong. You’ve lost focus. This was the exact moment the Great Lakes Beach Bum was waiting for… he surfs in ready to strike the final blow with his Floyd rose whammy bar. This is the end, but no. The Hippie rides in on his banjo of tolerance and convinces everybody to calm down… in your own way you were just trying to help. But they can’t just let you go free. A compromise is reached. You become the ward of deebo where he keeps you pacified with weed and frozen burritos for the rest of time. Cargo shorts and flip flops for all!
