First of all you can't sit inside you have to sit outside and it was chilly they didn't have their outside heaters up. I ordered garlic wings and what I got was parmesan sprinkled on my wings and it had no taste at all the clam fried were awful.the cook has no clue what he's doing again nasty taste I wouldn't go back there

My wife and I stumbled onto this place today. Really nice outdoor Tiki bar however the weather was chilly so we ate inside. Excellent food, service, cocktails. We will visit again.

Greatfood. Only thing is there was only outside dinning and it 2as very hot and my temperature sensitive son struggled because we had to eat on the patio. Plus they had large industrial fans that where so noisy it was hard to hear well.

We are new to the area visiting on a Sunday night not that busy and we wait for a hour and 45 minutes for a salad and chicken tenders and when we finally got the food the tenders and fries where ice cold needless to say we definitely will not be returning!

The chicken tenders are hand breaded! They are amazing! The stinging honey garlic sauce is so good. Their ranch is amazing as well. Fast service and awesome waiter! I recommend this place!

Wonderful local place on the beautiful Withlacoochie and Rainbow rivers. Drive in or walk across the street.or pull up in your boat, kayak, jet ski or pontoon boat.either way they have you covered. Great food.lots of sandwiches, and seafood dishes to choose from. Gator, grouper, gumbo, fried, baked, grilled, blackened.all prepared to order. Full bar.good prices, great staff. Just be forewarned, season is coming up so the place fills up and stays busy so try to beat the crowd. Well worth stopping by and having a nice lunch or dinner or even just a quick snack. I think you'll enjoy it.

Grabbed a late dinner on an Saturday night and were not disappointed. Service was spot on even though we were there almost at closing. Food was very good. We had shrimp and grouper. Cooked perfectly. Parking a little cramped. You can come by boat.

Party of 5 and everyone ordered something different from the menu. All meals were excellent. Wait staff was wonderful. The restaurant was closed so we fined on the patio and the sunset over the river was a great addition to our experience.

Split lunch with a friend. There was definitely enough for both, we had grilled grouper; it was fabulous. The hush puppies were good as was the slaw. A little skimpy for the slaw considering how cheap cabbage is, $1.49 for an extra 1/3 cup. We split limoncello cake. That sang!

Unfortunately.disappointing. Parking is tight. They have a shuttle if you have to park across the street. I guess you have to call the restaurant to get the shuttle ride. Luckily we found a "spot" of sorts.
There was only outdoor dining which was good. It was the best highlight of the visit as my lunch and my GFs lunch was not great. I had fish tacos and she had the hot chicken wings. Neither selection was good. There was no bartender on duty so our server admitted to making the drinks. GF drink below average. My bottled beer was fine.always good choice. This is a bar food place at best. Overall experience was below average. We have no plans to return and cannot recommend. 2 x.

Always love sitting on the deck next to the river, enjoying their good food while watching the water roll by.

Nice seating on the riverside deck. I really like the fish basket. Too much food for one sitting for me.

Stopped here for lunch and it was amazing! The shrimp and grouper was delicious and so was the chocolate mouse pie desert! Beautiful view of the river and excellent service. I will definitely be back!

Great local joint right on river! Best super grouper sandwhich you'll find on west coast of FL! Wish the live music and dancing would come back!
