We went to 'downtown' Cedar Key Monday night to go out for dinner. Our first 2 choices were closed…read moreon Monday, so we went to the 2nd street cafe, and at first we were confused because all the servers had tshirts that said Steamers and our menu said Steamers. So since we are new to the area, we had to ask. 2nd street cafe and Steamers are owned by the same person and the original Steamers location had a devastating fire just before hurricane Helene hit. So they operate both restaurants out of the same location. 2nd street cafe for breakfast and lunch and Steamers for dinner. Our server did say they are planning to build a new building somewhere, but i'm not really sure where. We had the gator bites to start, they were pretty good. And I had pasta Alfredo with grilled salmon on top, which was fantastic. And my husband had the seafood pasta. Also, there was a special for margaritas, and they were very tasty as well.

Not a problem The hold time we waited there was always one table empty. When asked hostess was rude addressing we had to wait 45 min although we had been waiting 40 mins and table was still vacant. 55 mins in we received text of table ready. Guess what that empty table was our table. It's not an overload cause every table was used. Maybe we just not her kind of people cause we don't wear orange and blue. As for food horrible no season no flavor looked cheap go the cost of the meal. We had no issues with waitress. Restaurant needs help.

I had been here a few years ago and it was the place that seemed so lively, inviting and to be able to sit outside right next to the beach pretty much is just so warming in ways that you cannot help but to smile. The menu is simple but their is more than enough to to choose from and everything is delicious. The last time I was here I remembered having the blackened grouper dinner which was amazing. This time around for lunch we both had the cheese burger in paradise! Also great choices I have to say! The service is good but at times it can get busy and then it may be a little slower but still fantastic. I do enjoy coming here when out at Cedar Key. It's comfortable and yes you can eat inside but on such an incredible day I cannot resist being outdoors. Great drinks available a truly great experience! Not wheelchair accessible as it is upstairs and there is a bar downstairs. I highly recommend visiting The Tipsy Cow for some good food and a wonderful environment. The views are pretty as well !

The salsa for chips & salsa was Costco bought (I really hate that salsa) and food was just "ok".

I've never been to a restaurant that didn't automatically discount the price since there's no liquor. No tip. Not returning.

Had a choice of eating in the bar , the dining room or outside. We chose the dining room and glad we did. Overall all our service was very good. The server was friendly ( and very busy handling a lot of tables). I had an 8oz filet which was very good. I ordered it medium ( light pink center) and it cane out true Pittsburgh rare ( charred outside but rare inside- see pics) I was actually ok with it .... I order medium for my wife to have a couple bites even though I prefer more med rare. So this was def rare inside but I loved it ( I cut her a small end piece that was cooked a little more ) The steak comes with a salad, a vegetable and potato ( a lot of restaurants everything is alacarte - so for $40 for a prime 8oz filet with those sides included .... Not bad. Wife had shrimp and grit cake which is a large appetizer ( she had as her meal). Also had stuffed mushrooms to start that were very good. I think the town of Cedar Key will prob be one and done for us. Wanted to see it , it's quaint , old Florida ... but prob wouldn't come back. ( but only because we just wanted to check it off of a long list of Florida towns to visit) Pro tip: they don't take American Express , odd for a linen table cloth type of place .... So , it's ok to leave home without it

The outside was pretty full and we thought about sitting out there, but the idea of the bugs getting me later pushed us back inside. by the time we left at 6:40, there were only 3 other tables occupied in the dining room. We had a good dinner, although in reading some of the other reviews, we might have had the same server who seemed to be very slow and big gaps in between visiting our table - she seemed to disappear. I had the Calypso pasta with scallops, which was great. We had the stuffed mushrooms to start, which were yummy, but only 3. and my husband had a snapper fish of the day dish. He also enjoyed the pecan pie. And I enjoyed his ice cream. I was not a fan of any of the cocktails, so just had a glass of wine. My husband had the almond joy/mounds martini, whatever it was called, and he liked it a lot.

This place makes the red clam chowder, which is what we prefer over the white & fresh crab bisque. You can get it by the cup or bowl or you can get a quart to take home. Both soups were amazballs. In fact, we haven't stopped talking about them since. We wished we would have got a quart of each to take home!!! The red clam chowder has potatoes/onions very hearty with their fresh local clams it's just fabulous. The crab bisque is cream based & has tons of fresh crab in it. Both of them are just divine. like i said we still are talking about these two soups. We can't wait to return for the quarts to go!!! Very cool dockside dining under the stars. Highly recommend.

The chicken was disturbingly small Chicken- butchered thin( less than 1/2 breast portion) The chicken not breaded, breast filet sliced served on an oversized bun, which belittles the poor chicken. When complained another breast sandwich was sent right away, but was not cooked. How can you send out RAW chicken! Chef ramsey would be infuriated! also portioned smaller than bread and full of gristle. Un- edible. Made due with over-cooked first order to appease my appetite, and not to complain a thirtd time. but both a sad looking chicken choice for the $10.99 price tag. However, our Waitress tried to compensate for the cooks poor or lack of skill: by only charging the price of the french fries. For a day of just taking a drive and finding this restaurant on the water, he view was gorgeous on the suwanee. Lovely day, nice weather and many airboats and finshing along the banks, the food I would skip. (At least the chicken) however my friend who ordered the blackened fish sandwich also a small portion of fish, but was pleased with the flavor and cook. So it may be a hit or miss type of place.
