The donut was excellent--definitely homemade, served warm, and so good. They don't offer a big variety, just a glazed donut and donut holes, but what they do make, they do very well. For breakfast, I had my usual: three eggs over medium, grits, bacon, and a biscuit. Everything was very good, and the biscuit was especially outstanding--one of the best biscuits I've had in a long time. The owner even came out to check on us and make sure everything was good, which made the experience even better. I would highly recommend this place. I only wish we had eaten here a few more times during our trip. We will definitely be back when we're in the area.

We had the pleasure of Ashley, whose husband is owner waiting on us and you can tell this is a great place as it was very busy. All the staff were great and helpful. The food was very delicious and Ashley got us a free donut hole to try. Oh my gosh was it good.. I had biscuits and gravy, with hash browns and scrambled eggs, excellent.. this is such a cute place I had to take pics. The ambiance of this place is wonderful, this place is a real gem, if you are ever up in Steinhatchee, Florida you have to go there. It is a must. They are closed Tuesday and Wednesday, but rest of time open from 6 am to 2 pm

Two split a seafood platter and the rest ordered individual seafood dishes, like fried oysters, fried snapper, and other things. Everything we great and it was a lot more food that we could ever finish. I think the seafood platter alone would feed 4. We also got some raw oysters, which were very good. It did seem a little pricey, but the food and service were great. My only complaint was the music was way too loud. we asked to be placed as far away as possible and they put us inside -- in the AC -- and then turned down the volume to a better level there (to applause from several tables). It's nice that they offer live music, but some folks want to be able to have conversation while they eat.

We stopped in on the weekend of the Fiddler Crab festival in Steinhatchee, Fl…read more Our first choice was busy, with an hour wait, and a storm coming in, we opted for Fiddler's. We were warned that there were only 2 wait staff on at the time, and to be patient. To that, our waitress had the sweetest southern accent, her name started with an M, she was amazing. She handled her section, yes we waited but had no real complaints. The prices were a bit out of line with the food offerings. I paid $25.99 for some tender, juicy shrimp and $29.99 for a plate of "fried scallop" all were the size of a nickle and tasted like punched ray wing. I iver heard another customer state that they would like more chicken in their Chicken Alfredo, as the serving they got, 4 peices was ridiculous for the price they charge.

A very entertaining, true Florida, off the beaten path experience. While the restaurant is not the best in the world, it's pretty good and the only option on a Tuesday night that we could find. The place was crowded and we were taken care of with the right level of attention. We stayed in the newly remodeled first floor of one of the buildings. There's still lots of cleanup and re-building to do. It's a little sad to see Steinhatchee suffer so much. But glad to see folks trying to make a go of life again.

I had breakfast at the restaurant one day and it was very good. My dinner was disappointing. The breading was very thick and the oysters were not cooked through well. Overall Value - Good. Currently, this is basically one of only two restaurants in town that is open for dinner. The prices are very reasonable and the service very good.

While visiting family nearby in Chiefland, we stopped into Cedar Key one morning before our trip concluded. It was a Wednesday in July, and overall the area was not super busy. We came up to The Prickly Palm around noon on a Wednesday in July, and were one of a few customers there. This coffee trailer is located in the main part of Cedar Key. I recently learned that they used to have a brick and mortar, but that was unfortunately destroyed by the hurricane last year. Despite this, their trailer and whole current set-up is very cute and inviting. The trailer is set up along 2nd Street, and sits in the back of the lot. You will see a sandwich board sign indicating where the lot is, along with a ton of outdoor seating under tents. There is not a dedicated parking lot specifically for The Prickly Pear, but we had no issue finding street parking right near the entrance. The menu here is very diverse and full of variety! Not only do they have coffee, but there are also smoothies, açaí bowls, milkshakes, and breakfast items. I was especially impressed with the variety of flavoring for the coffees. Sometimes, places only have a few flavors. However, there was a solid collection of flavors and different combinations marketed for customers to choose from! It seems like there are seasonal options available, as they had a lot of banana coffee options on this particular day. I appreciated the different sizing options for the coffee. Especially for the iced, as typically a lot of local coffee places do not have bigger sizes (comparable to a Dunkin or Starbucks). The Large Iced is 32OZ, which was a pleasant surprise! They did seem to have a size for everyone, whether they want a lot of coffee or just a regular amount. I personally ended up ordering a Large Iced Banana Nut Mocha Latte, but requested half of the syrups to tone down the sweetness. It was really good! I am iffy at times on banana flavoring, as I am not a fan of artificial banana. Even so, I liked this latte and enjoyed it throughout the afternoon. The others I was with all enjoyed their drinks as well! This was my first time visiting here, and the employees could not have been more welcoming! I asked for recommendations and their favorites, and they gave a lot of good suggestions and information. There were three of us total, each getting a large latte or cold brew. The total was a little under $30 for all of it. So, this place is a little more expensive than other spots, but I do believe the value is there. Plus, you are supporting a small business which is a win! Loved visiting The Prickly Palm for the first time. We tend to come to the area at least once a year, and I look forward to our next visit so I can make another trip to The Prickly Palm for a delicious latte! I would recommend giving this spot a try if you find yourself in Cedar Key.
