Sheila got the fish and shrimp and fries. Wow and WOW. Cooked to perfection doesn't even come close to describing our food. I almost want to marry the chef. The key lime pie and the chocolate chocolate cake was also delicious. The facility was very nice and welcoming, the restrooms were very clean. The sweet tea was delicious. After having the chef spray our hips with Pam . We slid into our car and drove home. Victoria was an absolute delight. She was friendly, informative and attentive. Thank you Castaways for the best dinner ever.

The service was top-notch as we never had to ask for anything even though they were a little busy and shorthanded. The prices are pretty reasonable and they give you a pretty good amount of food. So I have to say great food, great service and great views. Looking forward to going back again and trying the rest of the menu.

This is one of the only places where you can get whole belly clams down here in Fl, so we definitely had to try them. When we arrived, there was about a 20 minute wait since it was Sunday afternoon. My dad and husband grabbed their fishing poles and cast off in the little pond nearby while we waited for our table. We started with a bowl of homemade clam chowder. My husband had the seafood platter, my daughter and I had the scallops, and my dad ordered the whole belly clams and shared some with us. Everything was delicious! Lots of sides to choose from, too. I loved the onion rings and white cheddar mac & cheese. Of course we had to add their famous Boston cream pie to take home. It was delicious too! Such a cute little restaurant tucked away in the middle of real Florida. It was well worth the drive, and we'll definitely be making the trip back!

The staff was super friendly, great has small-town hospitality vibe. Since we stopped for breakfast let's start with the coffee, absolutely fantastic. Rich, fresh, and hot - and they never let your cup get below half full. I swear the waitress had a sixth sense for it because my mug was topped off with a smile before I even realized it was getting low. You don't see that here in Miami. The portions are wonderfully generous without being ridiculous. My vegetable omelette was loaded with fluffy eggs & veges, crispy bacon, and perfectly golden hash browns - and the biscuit! Love me a good southern style biscuit! Everything tasted homemade like someone's grandma was back in the kitchen looking out for you. Best of all? The prices are incredibly reasonable, especially for the quality and quantity you get. I left feeling so FULL that my next meal was dinner. If you're looking for a cozy spot with great food, excellent coffee, and people who actually care about making your visit special, stop by this little diner.

I also ordered the sirloin dinner with fries and the sirloin was so tough. You couldn't chew it. A lot of the food didn't have seasoning. It was very bland, not even salt and pepper. We sat near the window and the windowsill was extremely healthy They had a fly problem with flies flying all around, but it was a diner so what do you Our server was the most lovely southern woman I've met since living in Florida. She was extremely kind and tried her best to fix all of our complaints. She offered us a discount on the food that we didn't eat, and she kept our drink drinks, full, very attentive the service was a 10 out of 10.

We made a last-minute decision to visit the Country Line Saloon during Bike Week because one of my…read morefavorite Metallica Tribute Bands, Medal Militia from Jacksonville was performing here. At first, we thought, oh this is out in Deland, no problem, but it's actually an hour away from Sanford in the boonies of De Leon Springs. The Drive wasn't actually bad it was just long. When you pull in, it's almost like entering a private road that leads to a farm. It's a dirt road with plenty of potholes so be on the lookout if you have a low-rider. The road is actually really beautiful, as there are rows of oak trees on either side of you. The building is quite large, with plenty of seating inside and out. There is a game room with darts, pool tables, light gambling, a large indoor bar, for the event they had three more bars outside. There are also plenty of TV monitors mounted throughout the restaurant so you can watch the big game. Staff were super friendly and there were a lot of them. I never had to wait for anything here. We ordered a pulled pork sandwich and it was ready in less than 10-mintues. The sandwich was $12 but we were not really impressed. The meat was really dry and the bun chewy; the fries were cooked perfectly and seasoned well. I had to dip my sandwich in my ketchup and mayo to get it down without choking. We sampled some of our friend's pizza which was good. The use tiny pepperoni on their pizzas which was kind of strange but it was passable. A lot of locals were dining in; the restaurant was packed when we arrived so they must be doing something right. I would be willing to order food here again because they do have decent pricing overall. Domestic beers were $4 and imported $7 not bad. I didn't order any mixed drinks but my wife said they were expensive. One thing I have to complain about is that my first bartender tried charging me $7 for a domestic and I had to correct her. Another bartender did the same thing to my wife and then the server who took our order asked if she could keep the change on our meal which was way more than 20%, not cool. The outdoor section on the back side of the restaurant overlooks an awesome horse track. I'm not sure if they have racing out here but they could easily do it if they wanted to. There are comfortable couches surrounding gas lite fireplaces throughout which is really nice. At the base of the seating area, they have a huge stage setup for live music. I'm not sure if they have this here all the time or just for Bike Week but I love it. The only downside is the band or promoter is responsible for providing sound and lighting. The venue does not offer this service. The sound and light team who provided services for Metal Militia tonight did a great job. I noticed Jim the lead singer was having some technical difficulties with getting the right sound in the beginning but he was able to work around it after the second song. All-in-all, we had a great time out here and look forward to coming back again. It's a haul so I'm not sure if we will be able to visit next, but we will be back.

The owner threw in a koozie for the beer which is a nice touch. You order inside at the counter and find a table outside and someone brings your order to you. We asked this person for a cuo of ice but they don't have any ice. Owner confirmed this fact. Seems odd, particularly for a place where you're eating outside . Anyway, food runner didn't show much of a personality (as opposed to the owner/chef who was very personable) but, they do have to work outside and clean off tables so, there is that. Anyway, the fans create a nice breeze but we'll wait till the fall to head on back over and enjoy some more food.
