You get an enormous piece of haddock and lots of fries. No mushy peas for those from the UK. My girlfriend got the blackend redfish which came with cole slaw and a crab cake. I ended up getting the crab cake. You get your choice of sides. Fish and chips excellent. In fact I couldn't finish it because it was so big. The crab cake was a bit on the salty side. My girlfriend's redfish was also a bit salty. The slaw was excellent. I will say in fairness that the redfish and crab cake wasn't salty the next day and tasted fine. I'd try it again if I were in Cedar Key and you should too.

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.

Had a choice of eating in the bar , the dining room or outside. We chose the dining room and glad we did. Overall all our service was very good. The server was friendly ( and very busy handling a lot of tables). I had an 8oz filet which was very good. I ordered it medium ( light pink center) and it cane out true Pittsburgh rare ( charred outside but rare inside- see pics) I was actually ok with it .... I order medium for my wife to have a couple bites even though I prefer more med rare. So this was def rare inside but I loved it ( I cut her a small end piece that was cooked a little more ) The steak comes with a salad, a vegetable and potato ( a lot of restaurants everything is alacarte - so for $40 for a prime 8oz filet with those sides included .... Not bad. Wife had shrimp and grit cake which is a large appetizer ( she had as her meal). Also had stuffed mushrooms to start that were very good. I think the town of Cedar Key will prob be one and done for us. Wanted to see it , it's quaint , old Florida ... but prob wouldn't come back. ( but only because we just wanted to check it off of a long list of Florida towns to visit) Pro tip: they don't take American Express , odd for a linen table cloth type of place .... So , it's ok to leave home without it

Today we chose to eat inside and we and yes the waitresses were obviously sweltering . We were going to leave but we were hungry after fishing and the food is always good. We ate both having delicious burgers and the waitress was nice . For some reason I left wondering why a business would not offer free or discounted sodas or at least leave ice water on the table. It was extremely hot the waitresses shirts were obviously sweated through. I don't blame them just management and I know that it's a small island not many choices to go eat. Not many places for them to go work. Fabulous burger and a dry mouth.

There wasn't a hostess there when we showed up and then three servers took turns to say hold on for the hostess and then had no accountability when they said, 'I don't know where she is..'. Finally somebody said they were full up and tried to scare us with a 30 - 45 min wait when there were obvious tables open. We tried to understand what was going on and asked the next up server if they just didn't have the servers which made them a little friendlier. Then all of sudden a huge group left so the next server had no choice to seat us. Meanwhile, several other customers showed up behind us which put more pressure on the service. The next up server left to go clean an available outside table, and then 10 seconds later another server came up and tried to steer us away again saying no seats are open. We told this new server the next server got us to straighten out their lack of communication, and they readmitted they didn't know where the hostess was. We ended getting seated and waited another 15 to have our drink order put in. She seemed busy so we ended up putting in everything in at the same time. I had the clams and a pretzel, my wife had the shrimp rice bowl. Everything did come out fresh and super salty and not very good. Drinks were strong and mid, I won't go there again.

Honestly I felt like I was eating a Lender's bagel with not much on it. My daughter had an everything bagel with cream cheese, she agreed and thought that even though simple it should have been better. Presentation was very nice and the service was good. We both had coffee, I had a dark roast, she a latte. This too was just ok. Truthfully I did expect more for the price we paid, I expected more period. Walking in I loved the place, it's darn cute and I think it's amazing that they sell "Quincy Cattle Beef" in the freezer that's in the front of the store. The decor is inviting but sadly our food and yes even simple was lacking but it was a relaxed atmosphere.

This place makes the red clam chowder, which is what we prefer over the white & fresh crab bisque. You can get it by the cup or bowl or you can get a quart to take home. Both soups were amazballs. In fact, we haven't stopped talking about them since. We wished we would have got a quart of each to take home!!! The red clam chowder has potatoes/onions very hearty with their fresh local clams it's just fabulous. The crab bisque is cream based & has tons of fresh crab in it. Both of them are just divine. like i said we still are talking about these two soups. We can't wait to return for the quarts to go!!! Very cool dockside dining under the stars. Highly recommend.

We were definitely interested in some good, local seafood, and they delivered. We chose 2 orders of the small seafood bisque ($6) and 2 orders of the steamed clams ($9.59/dozen). My girlfriend tried one of the local blond beers ($6 - forgot the name). The seafood bisque was crab, shrimp and lobster in a creamy base. It was DELICIOUS! A little bit on the small size even for a small portion though. The steamed clams were in wine, butter, garlic and parsley served with garlic bread. They were TENDER and TASTY! The garlic bread was great for soaking up the clam broth. Service was friendly and efficient. Bathrooms were clean and odorless. PAY CASH and avoid the non-Cash fee ($1.42 in my case, just noticed that on the CC receipt!) Total was $42.13 before tip.

The menu is limited to burgers, hot dogs, gyros and the fried side choices to accompany. When your menu is smaller, the food is often better! This definitely translates here. The woman who took our order was super friendly, like she had known us and we felt instantly welcomed upon arrival. It's a simple, diner style restaurant. Casual and comfortable with great food! It's a must to check it out!

It's kind of like an old fashioned diner place, ample tables and they have a bar with high top chairs, they serve beer and wine. The menu is on the wall, no missing it, you order by the bar and find a table to sit. Very clean and organized place, employees are very friendly. They have a soda dispenser with Coke products and you get all the refills that you want. They also have a condiment table with plastic ware, ketchup, mustard etc. We ordered and our food was delivered to us in a timely fashion, piping hot. We both ordered double cheeseburgers, and split a large fry, large enough for two people and the fry's were hot out of the fry basket, delicious. Burgers were to die for, juicy, tasty with fresh toppings, excellent. Their prices are so darn reasonable, families on a budget can go out and treat themselves, that's great! Huge menu, something for everyone. Highly recommend JR's Good Time, gosh, why did we wait so long to try this great place? Come see for yourselves. Debbie

We walked in, checked out the menu and placed our orders after asking the woman behind the counter a couple of questions. My wife ordered their K.F.C. (Korean Fried Chicken) and I ordered the Angry Bird after asking about the spiciness level. The woman told me it's spicy but added that if you like spicy food then it's manageable. We also ordered Diet Coke (no Coke Zero) in a bottle and a La Croix drink in a can. No soda machine here. We were given a number to place on our table and waited for our meals...and waited...and waited some more. I think it must've been like 10-15 minutes before we were served our meals and we got there before the heavy lunch rush! We shrugged it off thinking, ooh, it's fresh out of the fryer and the chicken and fries will be piping hot. Nope! Our meals were warm but not hot. My wife liked the flavor of her KFC but didn't think Korean flavors really shined through. Having lived in Korea for a couple of years, I think she might have a good grip on Korean flavors. My angry bird was indeed angry! The spiciness level seemed like it was 7 or 8 out of 10. It was so spicy to me (and I love spicy food) that it had me sweating, with beads of sweat flowing down from my gleaming head. The spice level took away from the flavors. We really wanted to like this place but our experience made us think this might be a "one and done" thing for us. Lunch for 2 came out to just over $43 with tip.
