    Crab Cake Dinner - Notice the Crab Meat throughout
    Michelle T.

    This place is on 44 just outside of The Villages - a 15 minute drive from 301. If you are driving to fast you might just pass a great little restaurant. This place was not busy on the night we went and basically had the entire restaurant to ourselves however this does not change my opinion of the food. We ordered one of the Specials - Cherry Stone Steamers. Served on a plate with a small container of the steaming liquid and another container of drawn butter. The Steamers were of nice size and when dipped in the steaming liquid tasted of wine. This is one of those Specials you can take it or leave it. Also ordered - Grouper Dinner, Crab Cake Dinner and Scallops Dinner all served with your choice of potato (Baked or Sweet) and your choice of Coleslaw or Salad. We all selected Coleslaw which was very good - kind of like KFC but better and you know it's homemade. Our server stated the Coleslaw has been made daily for the past 20+ years. Also served with dinners Hush Puppies. All of the food was served HOT, which is a rarity these days and good. The Grouper was prepared Grilled with Lemon Pepper seasoning. The Crab Cake dinner was full of Crab meat and seasoned well. The Scallop dinner had the larger size Scallops - 6 to an order also seasoned and cooked well. Really no complaints, this place is one to return to or a must try if you have never been. There is outdoor seating available and a boat dock! Another Plus - Coke products are served!

    Very good food! Gator bites were perfectly cooked. Hushpuppies were my favorite. Overall, fish was cooked perfectly. Ribeye sandwich was excellent. Service was also great, one of the members of my party had allergies and they helped accommodate us. The restaurant is very cute, classic seafood restaurant decor.

    This hole-in-the-wall place is Gem!! Located on Hwy 44 is on of the best keep secrets around. They have by far the best Grouper you can buy with money. It is always prepared to your liking. The Shrimp are huge!l and once again prepare to your liking. On Thursday night the have Prime Rib night. You must call in advance to order you cut. Offered in large or smaller. As well, if you are a Blu Cheese lover the Blu Cheese dressing is home made. You can eat it with a fork. I have never had a bad meal at this place!! Everything is fresh and made with love. Even the homemade cakes they offer for dessert. The service is excellent!! On one or two busy occasions it was a little slower. But what ever!! It was worth the wait. The dinning room is small but decorated luge you would expect a fish house to be. This place get 5-starts all day.. Love The Fishermans Restaurant!!!

    So this place is a hidden gem that is No to be missed. Without a doubt, they have some of the best coleslaw that I have ever tasted. It is a rich, creamy taste treat that goes well withe the Fisherman's Cove's killer fish sandwich. Equally tasty and not to be missed is their cheddar and broccoli balls, little bites of Heaven that are sure to please the most avid cheese-lover. Yum! You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu here. This place holds the deliciousness crown hands down

    Haddock fish fry with baked potato
    Greg T.

    My spouse and I were searching for a fish fry restaurant and drove out toward Inverness to find something and found out this place is open again. It seems that new owners took over as of the first of the year and are on Wednesday thru Saturday hours it seems. The Thursday prime rib sells out and needs reservations to get it. We were here on Friday and it was busy. Had to wait 20 minutes, but once we got seated it went quick for drinks, order two haddock fish fry with baked potato and coleslaw and two diet cokes in cans. The fish was brought out hot and quick and had hush puppies included. It was tasty and now we know we will return.

    Lobster and shrimp bisque.

    We headed out to Fishermans Restaurant last night for an early Father's Day celebration with mixed results. This small establishment is located in Inverness. Although it could use a thorough clean and modernization, the waitress was super friendly and the food not bad. We started with the shrimp and lobster bisque which was tasty with just a hint of a sherry-like flavor. I had the fried shrimp platter with green beans and baked potato. It was okay even if the potato was a bit dry. My husband really enjoyed his blackened mahi mahi. The rice and beans were average. Our son also enjoyed his soft shell crabs but didn't care for the beans. The real problem, is that the portions are tiny. It was fine for me, but my guys left hungry. It's also very expensive for such a small amount of food. We paid over $90 before tip for three of us with no alcohol. I will say the star of the show is the dessert. It was insanely good. We split a slice of coconut pineapple cake which is the best thing I've eaten in quite a long time. So good I think I'll order one for Thanksgiving. Overall, I'm not sure the interior of the restaurant, the quality of the food or the expensive price makes this restaurant worth the drive, but I'll do it in the future if only to take home some of that magnificent cake!

They need a real cook back there. However we had to get out in a hurry. It felt like it was 68 in there. Freezing. Since something or other is always oversalted or overcooked, IDK if we'll return. Vegetables should be healthy. And shrimp only take a minute to cook so watch them!. (11/21/25) Previous reviews: (October ? '25) We tried this restaurant 3 years ago and it was pretty good. Moving from Clearwater, I was really used to fresh seafood and diverse menus. We decided the ratings looked pretty good so we tried it again. My friend got a fish sandwich, and I got shrimp tacos. She said she'd preferred perch but the fish((flounder?) was pretty good. I loved the shrimp tacos and the seasoning was just about perfect. Just a little spicy. Fabulous. Hushpuppies were 5 and the sauce that came with our coconut shrimp appetizer was delicious. Service was 5 from a young man who's name I can't remember, sorry. If one thing needed improvement it would be the coleslaw. Not much flavor. Not enough dressing. Didn't eat it, but I'll definitely be back to try the seafood platter, the senior menu is very reasonable.

    Speedway operates over 3,900 convenience stores coast to coast and is a wholly owned subsidiary of…read moreMarathon Petroleum Corporation so it's no wonder every location can't be the flagship location. I stopped here to fuel up on my way to the west coast of Florida and probably would have reviewed this station a little higher if I hadn't gone inside to use the facilities- The condition of the fueling island was fair, this place is beginning to show it's age but still functioning fine including dispensing the receipt at the pump, the interior of the store is filled with a little of everything that can be monetized. I paid at the pump so my decision to go inside was definitely not for a shopping spree - as I waited for a customer to exit the restroom I noticed the staff was busy interacting with some of the locals it seems this station provides a lot more for those living in the area than those of us passing through and it appears to definitely be an asset for the community. I didn't make any additional purchases but it looked like the coffee and soda fountain get a fair share of use as well as the hot dog roller grill that was partially filled. It common to see excess inventory stacked in any available space and at this location cases of beer occupy those areas. If there is any negative it's probably the men's restroom itself - it's in need of a major renovation, I can't say for sure if it's dirty it just appears that way, the fixtures were old and there is no hand paper dispense just an old hand dryer mounted near the old porcelain sink with a hand activated faucet - hands free fixtures would be a much better solution, I couldn't wait to get back to my truck and use the Clorox Wipes but most seem oblivious to the issues so it's all good...
