Great restaurant! The seafood was amazing. The service was terrific. The prices were very good. I strongly recommend the grouper. Our server was Pam and she was awesome.

It has been probably 8-10 years since I have eaten here. I remembered it as being pretty good, found myself in the area and hungry so we went in. I can't remember the menu being as extensive as it is now but WOW..! They have escargo! I got it and it was fantastic! French onion soup 9/10 and we both ordered burgers. I usually get a double but since I had the appetizers and didn't want to be stuffed I backed off and just got a single. Good thing!! The "single" had more meat on it than many doubles I have had elsewhere and it was awesome! One of the top 5 burgers I have ever had, probably in the top 3! The menu has a ton of choices and seriously, if you can't find at least 5 things you just have to have, something is seriously wrong with you... LOL.! The service was very good, atmosphere very comfortable and laid back. The prices is not cheap but definitely VERY reasonable, especially considering the quality and portion size. This is an absolute recommend no question about it! It is about 45 minutes from my house and I WILL be making the trip back just for the food!

Great food, great service! Cameron was a sweetheart, with the most beautiful smile. My husband and I had the frog legs and fried green tomatoes, delicious.

Amanda was the best server I’ve had in the area! We had a large group & she handled them like a champ. Gator tail was also superb. A experience

First time here and I was impressed. They have a variety of food but hands down it is the best burger I ever had.

Got the triple cheeseburger, my friend got the pulled pork sandwich. The burger was absolutely huge and delicious, and the fries were clearly cut from fresh potatoes. My friend stated that her pulled pork sandwich was amazing. We also shared some gator bites, which were pretty good with the horseradish sauce and some ranch. Our server Shara was great, and very attentive. We will be back! Have a fabulous day!

Absolutely.Impressed with the speed of service and the quality of food served at your restaurant. After just experience an extremely bad meal in crystal river , florida at a clam I am so glad that we decided to take a drive to Your Restaurant. Amazing the food was amazing season properly executed beautifully. I remember going to this restaurant a few years ago and it hasn't changed. The food was wonderful. I want to thank you for taking the time to be sure that your customers are happy and that the food you're serving is hot and fresh. Thank you again, we will be back.
