You feel the peace that the waters and surrounded by oaks and nature. And there is a full bar outdoors as well The food was ok. We had clam chowder soup wasn't my favorite but had worse. And we ordered two appetizers escargot which I don't recommend it included 5 snails on top of a lot of small mushrooms and it wasn't seasoned well!! Hard to match my previous escargot plates in other restaurants. The other appetizer was gator bites. I liked that! For our main entree we shared a seafood combo but you had to choose from fried, boiled or blackened and we chose fried they couldn't accommodate having half the plate cooked a different way so was just too much fried seafood. The platter brings shrimp, white fish, scallops, à crab cake, and oysters. The shrimp were big and tasty, and the white fish was delicious scallops were also good but the rest not so much. It's hard to eat all fried and all seasoned the same except the crab cake ( a lot of veggies in it and not enough crab so you don't really eating à crab cake) I hope this helps

We traveled to Crystal River to hang with friends during my son's spring break. Our group of 8 was hosted by our beloved locals, Oma (grandma) and Opa (grandpa). Our table ordered everything from clam chowder and jambalaya to a burger to seafood alfredo and then me ordering the pick four platter because I literally wanted a taste of all of the seafood. Everything was fresh, piping hot and tasty. Crab cake, oysters, grouper and shrimp. Sooooo good! To top off our visit, Mr. Bunch himself, came from the kitchen to greet all of his guests. Whenever I return to the area, I will always check-in here. It feels like home. Cheers!

You get an enormous piece of haddock and lots of fries. No mushy peas for those from the UK. My girlfriend got the blackend redfish which came with cole slaw and a crab cake. I ended up getting the crab cake. You get your choice of sides. Fish and chips excellent. In fact I couldn't finish it because it was so big. The crab cake was a bit on the salty side. My girlfriend's redfish was also a bit salty. The slaw was excellent. I will say in fairness that the redfish and crab cake wasn't salty the next day and tasted fine. I'd try it again if I were in Cedar Key and you should too.

Well, if it's never happened to you then you probably haven't been to Blackwater Grill and Bar. I came in looking forward to the comedy show and dinner I and 3 others came for and a guy who was a bartender/ host ( maybe?) said you can't go upstairs because we were early ( 15 minutes to showtime). He then walked away without out welcoming us or suggesting that we have a drink at the bar, he just walked away. The waiter upstairs was preygood considering how overwhelmed he was due to the rush and understaffed bought over a glasses of swamp that looked and tasted like it had sea-monkeys from the 70's. No bottled water for sale. At the end of the show, one of the comedians announced that the show had a tip bucket that you could leave 'tips for them and he stood in the exit doorway with a bucket, partially blocking the exit ( worse than outside a Walmart or WaWa ) then the bright laser bean lights came on before anyone got a check. Very negative vibe here folks.... Here's you hat what's your hurry credo.

This area is know for its local clams & seafood. Knowing…read morethis, all we wanted was the clam chowder. And moi wanted the Crab bisque. 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.

We were definitely interested in some good, local seafood, and they delivered. We chose 2 orders of the small seafood bisque ($6) and 2 orders of the steamed clams ($9.59/dozen). My girlfriend tried one of the local blond beers ($6 - forgot the name). The seafood bisque was crab, shrimp and lobster in a creamy base. It was DELICIOUS! A little bit on the small size even for a small portion though. The steamed clams were in wine, butter, garlic and parsley served with garlic bread. They were TENDER and TASTY! The garlic bread was great for soaking up the clam broth. Service was friendly and efficient. Bathrooms were clean and odorless. PAY CASH and avoid the non-Cash fee ($1.42 in my case, just noticed that on the CC receipt!) Total was $42.13 before tip.
