The cocktail sauce was rancid, the shrimp were undercooked, and the service issue at the end made the whole experience worse. My husband ordered the wing special, and the waitress specifically asked if he wanted all drums or flats. He asked if that would still be the same price as the special, and she said yes. When the bill came, we were charged $5 more. My husband questioned it, and the manager came out and said the waitress made a mistake, but we still had to pay full price. That is unacceptable. If your staff gives incorrect pricing, the customer should not be punished for it. Bad food, poor handling of a simple billing issue, and no accountability from management. We will never go back.

The food was all freshly cooked and not overdone at all. We each got the Thursday special which has 1 lb snow crab and 1/2 lb headless shrimp. We both added sausage and a lobster tail to our meals and I added 1/2 lb of blue crab to try. (It is a celebration after all!) Everything was Very flavorful and cooked to perfection! Obviously we both had plenty left for another meal (or two!) The people that work here were very nice and our waitress was very attentive and friendly. This was just the perfect meal for our celebration and am hoping to go back again soon!

WARNING: Be cautious when ordering the raw oysters, here. The server had a "I don't give a F…read moreattitude" when I had my first bite of half-dozen raw oysters. The one oyster I started to bite into was the WORST tasting I've had in a long time. It was gritty and tasted like it had died, before it was caught. I asked the server to let the manager or cook know this, as I was concerned for other customers' safety. She gave this look like it was me who was the problem. No manager bothered to come to our table, to ask me about it, either. She also scoffed at my reaction when she said that the Alaskan King Crabs market price went up to $92 / lb - which I thought was way overpriced for a place like Red Crab. So, I got the snow crab legs, which were excellent, as well as the boiled potatoes. The generous amount of butter had an off-putting flavor, but still went well with the crab legs. The corn on the cob sucked, as it was soggy, from clearly being kept in a warming oven or pot for too long. The cheesecake was small, but really good, although I did have to ask about desserts when the server was ready to give us the check. She was also slow in bringing out the dessert and updating our check, but nicer towards the end of the dinner. This is about the 5th time I've been to Red Crab - and just this location. They need to work on food quality consistency, better training on the servers, and take seriously when a customer nicely complains about raw oysters, that don't taste fresh and clean.

They were tender. They appeared to be fresh and they were not overly breaded. We also had their onion rings which we found to be very delicious as well. You could actually bite into them and not have the onion come pulling out, which was a plus and once again, not heavily breaded, but a good taste to the breading they did use. We also tried their fresh pork rinds, and they were excellent if this is your type of food we've only been to a couple places that actually know how to properly make them and puddle jumpers is one of them. The other place was in North Carolina, which went out of business and then one in South Carolina near Charleston, which was a barbecue joint. Our guest had other items as they come here on a regular basis and I know they all enjoyed their food, but I didn't ask to get information for this posting As for ambience, it was a very nice place. Stand at it set alongside the lake with of course the sea planes out front although we didn't see any land we did see some. All the staff was friendly, and our server was Bianca T who all I can say is she was very good and I stayed on top of our table I honestly can't think of anything negative to say about the place other than the ink pen ran out of ink when it came to signing the bill lol

The hostess was very friendly and led us to a booth on the left side of the restaurant where we were greeted immediately by our server Jaiden she dropped off a few menus and a list of cocktails and beers then stepped away for a few minutes allowing us to make our decision. We ordered a few beers and gator taters for a starter - living in Florida one can appreciate really cold beer and this place has really really cold beer. The gator taters arrive after a few minute and we placed our meal choice. For some reason I thought the gator taters were potato skins so I was a little taken back when this bowl of casserole like potatoes arrived but I must admit they were delicious. We ordered fried chicken sliders and a philly cheese steak with crinkle fries. Both entrees were perfectly executed and like the gator taters absolutely delicious so this was much better than the "bar food" I was expecting - the staff here is very friendly and attentive.The restaurant is very spacious and although ghostly quite during our visit I'm sure on game day this place could get busy and loud.

We parked on a side street and walked into the downtown area, passing Tony's Chowder House along the way. It immediately sounded like the perfect place to warm up before exploring the festival. We checked in for a table and were told the wait would only be a couple of minutes. While we were waiting, one of the servers--who ended up being our server, Bill--offered us a sample of their famous clam chowder. It was hot, peppery, and absolutely delicious. That sample alone confirmed we'd made the right choice. Because of the festival, the menu was limited, but I ordered a bowl of the clam chowder and a grilled shrimp skewer. The chowder was easily one of the best I've ever had, comparable to an incredible bowl I once had at Pike Place Market in Seattle. The shrimp skewer was also very flavorful and perfectly cooked. Bill was friendly and attentive throughout our visit, which made an already great experience even better. I'll definitely be stopping back at Tony's Chowder House the next time I'm in Mount Dora and experiencing their full menu.

She was super busy with other tables and didn't get around to re-fill drinks while we had our lunch.

Driving back to Georgia after a visit to the mouse and wanting to limit our exposure to the I-4…read moretraffic, we drove through the charming town of Mount Dora. There are lots of delightful restaurants there (according to yelpers) but many were located downtown and parking was hard to find so we decided to go to Fifth Avenue Streatery since we had driven by and there was lots of parking. All of which the tables are outside on a charming patio with lots of interesting decor. It was 11:30 so the day was pleasant and sitting outside was fine. Not sure how I would feel about that in August. Our waitress was Haley (guessing at the spelling) and she was bubbly and very attentive. The menu wasn't overwhelming and I always think that's a good sign that most of the food is being prepared fresh and not pulled from a freezer. My mom ordered the fish sandwich with tomato and cucumber salad. After ordering the Italian Haley said they were out of beef until the owner arrived so I went for the day's special which was a seafood basket: two pieces of fried fish, four huge shrimp and clam strips. Clam strips are not my favorite but these were very crisp and tasty. It was served with fries and cold slaw. We both agreed the food was very good. I asked for some cocktail sauce and after a few minutes she came back with saying she had to make some. It was fantastic, very horseradish forward which I loved. I am glad we couldn't locate our first two choices since we got to eat at this funky little place and have the best server in all of Mt. Dora.
