    Fried pickle appetizer
    Leigh L.

    Met a friend for lunch on a Saturday afternoon and was pleased to see quite a few patrons enjoying lunch although not packed so we were seated right away. We opted for a starter of fried pickles which came out quickly and were hot although a bit greasy. For mains I chose the cheeseburger and fries and my friend had the flounder sandwich with fries. Each meal came with two hushpuppies. The burger was very good, cooked well done as I asked for but appeared to be a "Bubba burger". Lettuce, tomato, onion and pickle came on the side so you can add what you'd like. I'm not sure what the bun was, however it was not a standard burger bun that has a tendency to fall apart; it was also lightly toasted with mayo on the side. Fries were hot, crispy and not greasy. My friend said her sandwich was good and appeared to have a large portion of fish. It too had the same nice bun the burger came with. Service was very good with the server checking on us often without being overbearing. Overall, the ambiance is that of a quick service seafood restaurant with a variety of options available at reasonable prices. The restaurant was clean although could do with a makeover to make it more modern. However, I'd come back again.

    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

    Great value for fresh seafood. A gem to find among the rows of fast food joints.

    I love seafood and this little neighborhood seafood market has it. The store is clean and it…read moredoesn't smell undesirable like stale fish. 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.

    The seafood is fresh and very good ,but I was very surprised at the girl working the counter.She…read morewas very flirtatious with my husband.She was showing a lot of skin and just seemed ti be trying to hook up with him right in front of me.She had no respect or honor about herself .Now my husband wants to by fish from there all the time just to talk to her.Even though she said she was engaged to be married.She flirts with men to get them to come there to buy fish .Business must be bad in Lake City if business owners are resorting to this tactic.Be glad when she gets married and moves to Canada.I honestly don't like this girl at all ,the way she looks at men like they are a piece of meat.Seriously ,I don't understand why she just can't be professional and just sell the fish.I mean it's all too much .She is not professional at all.I would not recommend this business to anyone.

    BAD BUSINESS!!!!!! Extremely disappointed and ashamed! How…read moredo I order from YOUR MENU and you don't honor YOUR MENU⁉ I will not order from here again. I ordered10pc wings breaded & tossed in Honey Lemon Pepper with fries. The price on the menu says $15 for 10 PC w/ fries. Which rang up as $15.44 [WHAT IS THE $0.44 FOR?] I got charged +$1 for (breaded) [NOT SPECIFIED ON THE MENU] +$0.67 for my wings to be tossed in sauce [NOT SPECIFIED ON THE MENU] I WAITED 1 HOUR FOR MY FOOD!!!! BUT WAIT!... THATS NOT THE BEST PART! Once I finally received my food I opened my plate to inspect my food and THERE WERE ONLY 8 WINGS!!!! I notified the cashier and showed her that I only received 8/10 wings. And the cooks responded that because my wings are "big" that I would only get 8 wings!!!! My receipt says 10 wings, their menu posted ON THE TRUCK says 10 wings and the MENU in my hand says 10 wings but I will only receive 8????? Huh? When I add on my $0.85 ranch, and 7% tax of $1.26, my Grand total came out to be $19.22 smh I am a business owner and I am soooo specific with my policies and prices I am so embarrassed to even admit that this is why black businesses have such a bad rap and leave a bad taste in ppls mouth. THIS IS NOT GOOD BUSINESS AT ALL!! NEVER EVER AGAIN SAUCED UP!!!! BAD BUSINESS!!! TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE!!!
