We were welcomed upon entrance and given kind, respectful answers to my many questions regarding their seafood. It did smell like live seafood when we walked in. I don't mind the smell due to being raised by seafood foodie parents who eat live fresh seafood weekly. We ordered a crawfish and shrimp combo for $14. We also ordered a crawfish and muzzle combo for my brother. And in addition, we wanted to try the light blue crabs for $20, which was four total blue crabs. These prices included cleaning & cooking the seafood for us. That saves us time and cleaning at home. We brought it home to eat with steamed rice and dipped the seafood in lemon pepper, cocktail sauce, and lime juice. The blue crabs were fresh and full of meat. I would skip the crawfish, mussels, and shrimp for my next seafood feast. The seasonings were perfect.

We ordered the big eats and added another half pound of snow crab legs and a half pound of headless shrimp. We split it in between two adults and one child and it was plenty.

It's a bit pricey but we enjoy going out to get a boil at least once a year and this franchise has always been our go to!

I had the Caesar salad and 1501 dry rub wings with ranch. Salad had corn bread croutons which could've been good but tasted like just oiled soaked stale dense bread. Dressing came on the side, which I'm guessing was due to a misunderstanding because my cousin asked for his wing hot sauce on the side. The chicken was chewy unfortunately. The skin was crispy and rub was good but the texture ruined it and they just tasted bad and overcooked. I would opt for another dinner choice or maybe they have other food that's better.

However, based on my experience, I felt the food and pricing didn't quite live up to expectations. The presentation was decent, and I can appreciate the effort that went into the dishes. Unfortunately, once you consider the prices, the overall experience becomes harder to justify. The food, while perfectly acceptable, was fairly middle-of-the-road for me and didn't stand out enough to warrant the price point. There are other options in the area offering similar, prepared Latino food at a lower price, including grocery-store options such as Bravo, and I found some of those to be comparable to what I experienced here. I genuinely wanted to enjoy the restaurant, and I hope this is taken as constructive feedback. For me, though, the combination of the food quality and the prices made it difficult to feel that the overall value was there.

One of my favorite things about St. Johns River Steak & Seafood is that you're not just going there…read morefor dinner -- the location makes the whole experience. Sitting right on Lake Monroe with that view of the water, especially around sunset, is hard to beat in Sanford. The food is excellent too. They have a huge selection, so whether you're in the mood for seafood or a steak, there's something for everybody. The seafood always seems fresh, the portions are generous, and they don't skimp on the good stuff. The blackened fish with shrimp and crab risotto is a standout, and you hear people constantly talking about the grouper, shrimp and grits, conch fritters, gator bites and seafood combinations. Their steaks are also legitimately good, so you don't feel like you have to order seafood just because it's on the water. The atmosphere is probably what keeps me coming back. It's casual enough that you can bring the family, but the view makes it nice enough for a date night or special occasion. There's just something relaxing about eating dinner and looking out over the lake. Service has always been another big positive. The staff is friendly and attentive without hovering over you, and even when the restaurant is busy, they do a good job taking care of everyone. That seems to be something a lot of other people mention in their reviews as well. Good food, cold drinks, great service and one of the best restaurant views in Sanford. If somebody was visiting town and asked me where they could get some seafood and actually feel like they were in Florida, this would definitely be on my list.

Service started well, but once we were seated, we were told that no server was assigned to our table and that several staff members would be helping us. This led to confusion and very slow service, even though the restaurant wasn't particularly busy. We ordered our food at 7:00 p.m. Two friends needed to leave early and waited far too long for their check. When the server finally brought it, she also tried to give the rest of us our check even though we were still waiting for our meals. She seemed surprised and went to investigate. The manager came over to apologize, but our food didn't arrive until 8:30 p.m. an hour and a half after we ordered. It was cold and dried out, as though it had been sitting under a heat lamp. The only compensation offered was free dessert, which we couldn't stay for because the delay had already made us late for our other plans. We understand that mistakes happen, but the lack of coordination, excessive wait, and disappointing food made this a birthday experience we won't repeat. Living in Florida, we have plenty of better seafood and steak options. We will not be returning.

I had The Current bookmarked in Sanford and with it being only fifteen minutes away it was easy to get there. As I approached, I thought, "That's where it is?" I have passed the place many times but never knew it was there! It is a couter service place. Which mostly means a quick in and out. Plenty of seating inside and even some outside. I ordered my Blacken mahi sandwich with Old Bay fries and waited at a table for it to arrive. When it did, all I can say is, wow! Might of been the best blackened fish sandwich I have ever had, wow! The fries could have had a little more seaoning on them, but I was here for the fish and it ruled. Also, for a counter service place I had probably as many "how are you doing" checkins as I would have had with a table service place.

It was a Friday night and the restaurant was busy. It felt like others were also coming in for one last visit, which added a bittersweet feeling to the evening. I ordered a pina colada and a pineapple coconut martini. The drinks were perfect. Cold, smooth, and exactly what I remember. I will truly miss the drinks here. They have always been one of the highlights. For food, we ordered beef empanadas, coconut shrimp, and the honey butter crispy chicken sandwich. The empanadas were not quite as good as I remembered. The filling was more soupy than before and did not have the same bold flavor I used to enjoy. The coconut shrimp was solid and consistent. The chicken sandwich tasted like it may have been cooked slightly too long, making it a bit drier than expected. Service was great, especially considering how busy they were. The staff handled the crowd well and remained friendly and attentive throughout the night. While the food was not as memorable as it once was, the experience and the drinks reminded me why this place was special. It is always tough to see a longtime favorite close.
