Lots of places describe fresh seafood. This place still has it. Food is amazing. Dining is simple benches outside.

We had a fried basket (I choose fish and gator), and the grilled fish platter. The food exceeded expectations and the deck has a great view
Jim S Tripadvisor · Sep 2025
In a rustic setting overlooking the river where the tours begin, we enjoyed a plate of crab claws with their special dip. It was good value and a lovely setting.
Andy S Tripadvisor · Apr 2025
The seafood is very fresh and well prepared. We got the soft shell crabs, the fish fingers basket, and the frog legs basket. Everything was delicious with a view to the mangroves.

I've been coming here for years. Great fresh seafood baskets. Outdoor seating on the water watching the airboats. The grouper bites are excellent.

They had fresh frog legs and knew that was for me. Others had shrimp 3 different ways. Everything was delicious and fresh.
