    Menu lunch 11-4
    Mechelle C.

    Located off the main road, this place was recommended. We were seated quickly and drinks were brought immediately. Another 15 minutes passed before our order was taken. All the waitresses were friendly and polite. The carpet and interior could be updated, but they were cleaning tables off. As long as it's clean . I ordered the whole catfish with okra and baby limas, unsweetened tea, Came with hush puppies. Music was playing different songs in the dining room and kitchen. It was unnerving. But when the food came-----delicious!!! Limas seasoned perfectly. Okra fried crispy. The best hush puppies in town, made with sour cream. It's sweet as cake. Speaking of cake, we ended with the key lime pie. Graham cracker and butter crust holds together nicely and the pie itself is very smooth and slightly tangy. Yes, we'll be back!

    This was my first visit to Cedar River Seafood. I was recommended by a bus tour group as we stopped in for lunch, so I had not read the Yelp reviews until afterwards. I wanted to collect my own impression based on the food and the service. Since we were a large group, I did not expect to have the service we had, but I was pleased overall. The servers were fast and efficient. Next, the food which is the most important element of Cedar River. The fish was crispy, but not too hard and it was fresh. The portion was plenty and the prices were fair too. I learned that there are at least three Florida locations: Fernandina, Callahan, and this one. I was surprised to see the low ratings, but it really was tasty food here. I would recommend giving it a try for yourself. There were lots of cars in the parking lot, so I am not sure the air of mediocrity hangs over the restaurant. Again, I enjoyed my food and the experience.

    Doesn't look like much but the staff is very friendly and the fried flounder was actually pretty tasty. I would like to see more attempt to clean, table was sticky and I could see dust all around the restaurant. Overall not a bad place to get a fast meal

    Fried to perfection- okra and catfish

    Fish was nasty, mashed potatoes nasty, shrimp good, baked beans good. Would really not recommend. Should have hit up McDonald's.

The store clerk was kind and very pleasant to the customers. Everything looked fresh and the miscellaneous items were stacked nicely as well. There was a lady outside in the parking lot asking patrons for money who eventual came inside and asked the store clerk if she could use the restroom; the store clerk was polite and said yes. I overheard this exchange but I felt it was worth mentioning and three stars at the very least. When I asked if they used butter or margarine on their fantastic looking crab trays and the clerk said margarine. I appreciated her honesty but everyone knows how extremely unhealthy margarine is; margarine is not five star quality. The overall experience and interaction was five stars but the margarine is a negative one for sure and needs to be reconsidered.

First, the restaurant overlooks a beautiful black water creek. There are docks and puh-lenty of parking for your boat and dozens more!! We were warmly greeted at the door and were seated waterfront on the deck as requested. Our server was Sherry, and she was excellent! She was patient, attentive, generous, kind, and gave excellent advice regarding the menu offerings. I ordered a lychee martini and only wish I could have had another. It was really, really good! Just a hint of lychees with a bit of ginger liquor... excellent craft cocktail!! My husband and I shared an entree. I had blackened trigger fish, and he had the fried shrimp. Out sides were corn on the cob and pimento cheese grits. Those grits!!! OMG!! As a G.R.I.T.S. (Girl raised in the South) I can honestly say I've never had better!! The portions were very generous, and the cornbread comes loaded with a scoop of homemade whipped honey butter. Heavenly!! My only disappointment is that I had no room in my belly for dessert, but the cornbread and honey butter WERE dessert.

    I honestly don't even know where to start with this review. What began as a normal dinner out…read moreturned into one of the most disappointing (and frankly disturbing) dining experiences I've ever had. We came here to celebrate my 18-year-old's birthday, hoping for a nice dinner and a special evening with family. At first, everything seemed fine. We were seated, drinks came out, and our appetizer arrived without any issues, so we expected the rest of the meal to follow shortly after. Unfortunately, that's where things completely fell apart. After finishing our appetizer, we waited... and waited... and waited. A full hour and a half went by and our food still had not arrived. No real explanation, no meaningful updates, and by that point the table was already frustrated and hungry. But what happened next pushed the entire situation from frustrating to completely unacceptable. While we were still sitting there waiting for food, a member of a group of boys at another table decided it was perfectly appropriate to walk over to the edge of the deck and urinate off the side in front of everyone. This wasn't hidden or discreet -- it happened in plain view of the entire dining area. To make it even worse, we had children at our table, including the birthday we were there to celebrate, who witnessed it. I immediately told our server what had just happened, expecting some level of concern or action. Her response was simply "oh okay." That was it. No apology, no attempt to address the situation, no manager coming over -- nothing. At that point, the experience went from poor service to a completely uncomfortable and inappropriate environment. No family celebrating a birthday should have to deal with something like that during what's supposed to be a special night out. Between the hour-and-a-half wait for food, the inappropriate behavior happening right in front of diners, and the completely dismissive response when it was reported, the entire evening was ruined. Extremely disappointing and definitely not an experience I'd ever want to repeat.
