Walked in when I was having quick lunch with a friend who was working in the area, I had heard good things and wanted to try it out, however time was limited. I was sat very quickly, and the place seemed quite popular which was a good sign. Ordered some fried green tomatoes and catfish bites as they were the special of the day. While the fried green tomatoes were very good and crispy, as were my fries, the fish was definitely "questionable". It had a slightly off flavor and smell, I normally would have spoken up, but once again I was in a time crunch. My dining companion really liked his food at least, and the server was fast and attentive. So it wasn't a total loss. Addendum; I did not suffer any "gastrointestinal distress" so while the fish definitely wasn't outright bad, it was probably right on the edge of it. read more

We stopped at Fish Camp yesterday after flying down to Florida to escape the snow for a couple of days, and it was exactly the kind of laid-back spot we were hoping for. I ordered the Saturday shrimp special, which lets you choose grilled, fried, or blackened shrimp and comes with coleslaw plus two additional sides. I went with the swamp soup and onion rings. The swamp soup is made with chicken broth, andouille sausage, black-eyed peas, and kale. It was a little on the salty side, but it still had really good flavor. The onion rings were crispy, golden, and downright delicious. For the shrimp, I chose grilled -- and if you're in Florida, why wouldn't you get shrimp? You get a half pound, grilled in garlic butter, and they were tender with great flavor. Easily the star of the meal. Our server was very friendly, and the decor felt like a classic fish camp -- casual, fun, and fitting for the setting. The view overlooking the lake was beautiful and made the whole experience even better. I'd definitely come back if and when I'm back in town. Solid food, great atmosphere, and a perfect Florida getaway meal. read more

Did a little antiquing and had the old grumbling in the stomach so we decided to go to our favorite spot for fish and chips. Sharon was great with her service and we got grouper for the fish and everything else was cooked as we like it. Give them a shout if you are in town. read more

I am pleasantly surprised by this local restaurant. I've lived in the area for 6 years, and this is my first time trying it. We ordered wings, gator bites, a burger, and margaritas. Everything was good, seasoned well, and you can't beat the drink prices. I've been back twice within one month since my initial visit, especially for the wing specials, Service is always good, and the outside water view is a bonus. read more

This was out 2nd time coming to this restaurant and our friend's first time. We came for a late lunch/early dinner around 4pm. Outside was rather noisy and warm, so we chose inside which was totally empty at the time. We all had tasty food . I chose not to go the seafood route and had the Cuban Reuben, which was really good. The others chose the 1/2 lb of grilled shrimp with 2 sides, which was the Saturday special, very yummy. We all waddled out of there. read more

Stopped today for lunch. First time here. I ordered the fish tacos with a side of hush puppies. The tacos were huge and hush puppies were very good. Tacos were very good and filling. I highly recommend both. read more

My wife and I visited Fish Camp with family while visiting from out of town. We easily got a reservation and were greeted warmly when we arrived. The staff was attentive, food was good, and we were happy with the overall experience. I'm posting a few pictures from the restaurant. Sorry that I forgot to take pictures of the food. We were all anxious to dig in when it was served and didn't think to pick up the camera. read more

So disappointed! On-line reviews raved about this place. So we drove the 25 minutes to the dockside restaurant to check it out. There were 4 of us. Our server, obviously overwhelmed with too many tables, finally got to us. She was friendly and smiled. But the rubber hits the road when the meals arrive. My table mate's grits were dry. Another dining pal gave his food a thumbs down. My $17 fish dinner was dry and overcooked. Thank heavens for my dipping sauce to partially save the day. A quick after-dinner survey yielded this response to the question: would you come here again? The universal answer: NO! read more

Used to be our favorite place but after our last visit; very disappointed. The Gator Bites were from a different distributor and it was extremely noticeable. Small pieces and most were very tough, also serving sizes were half of what it used to be. Ordered the Mega Margarita; which was very very weak. So...we will wait several months before going back and hope that issues are resolved - one more chance. Ordered the wings: small & dry. Menu had $1 each. Our order was for 15 and we were charged for 10 then an additional 5.; over $20. On a brighter note, our server was wonderful. She did an amazing and excellent job. Service was fairly quick. read more

Zero Stars I ordered the lunch special Shrimp and Scallops over rice blackened. over 30 minutes later got barely warm rice, rewarmed boiled shrimp and a half of a brown round substance that i think was to be a scallop. I wasted my lunch break and left hungry. No way I was eating solid color brown cut in half something that was to resemble a scallop. PS after i watched a patron at the table in front of me leave with his lunch to go after waiting his lunch hour. PS ... the tea was authentic read more

Food was spot on and server/bartender was great. Our group had shrimp scampi, lobster roll and Snapper; all were delicious. We started with the coconut shrimp which has the most interesting presentation of this dish I've seen...the batter was delicious. In short, great meal and reasonable price. read more

Our go to restaurant. Food, service always great. Reasonably priced. Never disappointed!! The chowder and Ceasars salad best ever!!

I have eaten here with my friends and family well over a dozen times. I keep coming back for the locally-farm fresh ingredients and fresh seafood at a great price. My favorites are the crab leg dinners, fried okra, salmon, and fresh salads from local farms. Enjoy a great water view, and the menu specials change daily, so you can always find something new to try. They also host really cool themed nights, such as dinner with a show, along with local rotating entertainment. Bring your boat and your pet and enjoy the patio. They do close early at 8pm so keep that in mind. read more

Randomly found myself here Friday evening. It was a pretty full place and seemed to be popular amongst the locals. I love me some good ol' Florida food and the menu did not disappoint. The cocktail menu was creative, I was tempted to order the "Grand ol' osprey" or the "baby gator" just for the names. They also had a "drain the swamp platter" which included frog legs, catfish and gator. Not a combinations you can get just anywhere. The local salad was a bit underwhelming. It was just lettuce and 2 cherry tomatoes and some Parmesan cheese. My clams were great! I loved the sauce and the bread. I'd def try more stuff here and live the true Florida vibe! read more

I had the Mahi Sandwich for lunch. My Co-worker had the steamed clams over linguini. The clams were very good and cooked well. The Camp Champ grilled Mahi Sandwich was good, but the fish was smaller than I would've liked. Maybe a little dry. The fries were awesome, and were served hot. Just the right amount. I would come back here again for lunch or dinner! read more

Mahi sandwich and fish tacos with onion rings and fries. Service was good and the place has both inside and outside seatings. There is a bar area in addition to lots of inside seating. Parking next the restaurant is limited and then you are parking on grass lots. Overall I thought it was OK but not great. The food wasn't bad but it just didn't wow me. The onion rings are hand cut and battered but seem to pick up something from the oil they were cooked in. The fries were cooked but had been setting, warm not hot. The wife liked her fish tacos. I thought fish sandwich was OK lot bun to the size of the fish. Key lime pie was more like a cheese cake very thick vs smooth and creamy. They do some cool things like a murder mystery and magic shows. Only you can decide if it's right for you. read more

I love the old Florida feel of this place. It's on the water so you can admire the docked boats and see the occasional gator swim by. Beyond that, after 3 visits, we gave the food and service, a solid "meh" Food twice was served lukewarm. The swamp soup that I loved the first time I had it, the 2nd time, it was terribly salty and mostly just broth, as if the person dipping the soup, didn't bother to stir and just dipped from the top of the pot. Our last visit the plan was to share an order of the PEI mussels, and an entree. My husband ordered a beer which our server forgot to bring. When reminded, she brought the wrong beer. The mussels were both cold and greatly over cooked, and our server was nowhere to be found. When she did show up, decided to cut our losses, cancelled the rest of the order, paid and left. We won't be going back. read more

food, atmosphere and service was great! Highly recommend the chowder. We are definitely coming back for more!

Service felt rushed, we did come in a half hour before the kitchen closed, so that is understandable. We each had soup with our meals and the clam chowder and swamp soup where both really really good and quite tasty. We had 2 orders of blackened seafood trio , the fish was so rubbery it was almost inedible, it had zero flavor. The crab cake was very gooey and also lacked any real flavor, the shrimp was okay, slightly overcooked. The portions were very small ( which turned out to be a blessing). One of our party ordered a burger, it was just..okay. Dinner for 3 with 3 cocktails and an appetizer of chips ran us 104$ for a sub-par meal. May get some to-go soups on the future, but I honestly don't see us returning for a meal, which is really disappointing, I was hoping to find a go-to seafood place, this is NOT it. read more

Service was great and I had the flounder stuffed with crab it was the best dish I've had in a long time

This place was all together terrible. The service, the food, and the ambiance. We sat on the patio, where they apparently allow smoking even though food is served. The water that you overlook is covered in trash and muck. We started with fish dip and hush puppies, the only good thing there were the hush puppies! Actually some of the best hush puppies, crunchy, moist, and served with a delicious sauce. Fish dip was dry and chunky. We split the grouper Ruben and fish and chips, none of us liked either. The fish batter was bland and dry. The Ruben was extremely salty. Margaritas were too sweet even when ordering a skinny. Wouldn't go back or recommend this place to anyone! read more

Arrived on a Thursday 1:15p. Preferred sitting outside to the smell inside. Got an outside table within 5 minutes. Ended up seated between a table with a smoker (!) and a heavily perfumed guest. Food arrived in 30 minutes. The fish platter was just okay - smallish portion, on the dry side, weird mustard fish sauce. Ordered tacos in lettuce wrap bcz I'm GF and they only offer flour tortillas. The blackened grouper was juicy but very over salted. Nothing special on the taco fixings. Slaw is heavily coated in thick mayo. Fountain Drinks refilled frequently. I gave the waitress the feedback and she came back with a free GF crepe brûlée dessert offer. Nice! Overall, this is definitely not a restaurant we plan to visit again. read more

Excellent food. Friendly service. Typical restaurant for the area. There is outside seating available

We came by after running around the area for a few days. We came in to find $4.99 Margs and Martiinis. It was a great start. We also were seated very quickly by the window to see the sunset. We ordered clam chowder and grouper tacos and fried catfish. The waiter was great in getting our order the way we wanted. Our dinner did not take long to arrive. The chowder was delicious with a bit of pepper added. The fish tacos were also great with dressing that came with them. I enjoyed them all. The catfish was a large portion and we only ate half of it. IT is truly a seafood relaxed environment and great service for the end of our trip. We will be back. read more

We went there for breakfast. It was OK food but it's annoying that they're so cheap on certain items. For example there was no toast that came with the omelette. And the kids breakfast could only be scrambled eggs so we had to order à la cart. That's the same thing for the regular breakfast they have that's the special. They also dole out portions of ketchup and pancake syrup with a dropper. Additionally I couldn't get egg whites for my omelette because they were busy. Also, I ordered a vegetable omelette to be healthy, but it came with a creamy sauce so overall it was not a great experience. read more
