We had high hopes since we love the dip you can buy at the seafood market next door, but our meal was a huge disappointment. We had the grouper chowder which was mostly potatoes and incredibly bland. We got steamed clams which were so bad we had to send them back. I ordered the seafood platter. The hush puppies and fried shrimp were good but everything else was bland. Also the bathroom was really dirty. We won't be coming back here. We wanted to love it! The prices are pretty great! The food is just inedible. Update: ok so the food also made me sick within an hour of eating it. Definitely never eating here again. read more

The all-u-can eat fried shrimp get this place 5 stars on their own. These are the best shrimp I've ever had in my life. They are large and fresh and served nuclear hot. The breading is very light and crunchy without a hint of being greasy. The fish was also very good. The sides of coleslaw and french fries were adequate. The service was fast and friendly. Some people might be turned off by the building and the decor. It's very rustic and somewhat worn down and old looking. There is a market right next door that sells fresh seafood and I believe the owner of the place even charters fishing boats. Overall the place gets 5 stars for the best shrimp I've ever had and gets 3 or 4 stars for everything else. read more

The seafood is fresh and good clams shrimp and oysters and the rest of the meal is terrible slaw no flavor beans right out of the can hush puppies dry store bought batter the clam chowder has no cream just a watery broth of potato bacon and a scares clam in the clam capital of Florida really read more

Just had the most wonderful lunch of shrimp, sea bass, and crab cake! Taking a couple pounds of fresh fish home to grill up later tonight! Great value and super nice quality. The family members who were present were super hospitable. Differently will return. read more

I went into the market and ordered take out from the restaurant. ***I think the way to go here is to eat in and take advantage of their ALL YOU CAN EAT seafood which comes with sides and soup for 14$. I'll definitely go back to try that, I could eat those boiled shrimp until I drop.*** Restaurant: Boiled Shrimp - shrimp were sweet and CLEAN!! Crab Fritters - just salty crab cake balls Hush puppies - classic and delicious Fried oysters - small portion for dinner but CLEAN Deviled crab cakes - good but heavy batter Key Lime Pie - super creamy & eggy graham crust Gumbo - nice and packed full of seafood Clam Chowder - more milky than creamy more potato than clam Everything came with tartar and cocktail sauce, baked beans and coleslaw. All classic, nothing special. Market: Red Snapper filets that are absolutely beautiful Stone crab claws Smoked mullet dip The only thing I would say you NEED to have from either of these places is the Smoked Mullet Dip. If you're into salty, smoky, deliciousness, it's fabulous. The crab claws were so sweet and delicious. We ate them as-is, no need to dress up that delicate meat. read more

I wish I could take away stars for customer service and proper way to handle a customer situation we were the next customers on their wait list I had stood waiting for almost an hour when they called my husbands name now like an idiot he just said Mike when he put down the name another customer who had barely waited walked right in and sat down and we said something but they did not ask the gentleman to get up he was not the Mike who was next and trust me we and a lot of people had waited along time I spoke up but several other people were saying hey wait that ain't fair then they offer us a shitty table inside the door I didn't want that one the place was packed that table was awful and they were just like duh acting stupid I would not recommend this place read more

Our server forgot about us. Didn't refill our drinks. Fried oyster was good, sides were disappointing. My boyfriend got the all you can eat dinner, and he said it was overcooked and he couldn't finish the plate. Disappointing that this was the highest rated place in Cedar Key... read more

The food is so fresh!! Man this is some great seafood. The restaurant is kinda boring, but the food more than makes up for it. Good, good food. read more

Robinson's Seafood - Simple place, but the food, oh man the food, fresh is the word! Great seafood! - Seafood Near Me - Cedar Key, Florida

We seem to get to Cedar Key every year on our trips to Florida. The town itself is very quaint, and inviting, especially down by the boat launch. Robinsons is not near there. It is however on the way, as there is only one road in and out of town. Located just on the edge of Rosewood about 6 miles east of Cedar key, it's located in a fairly modern building with a fresh seafood shop attached. Not a picturesque location, but definitely a destination. First of all the food is Fresh, Very Very Fresh. The restaurant is not fancy, but it's clean and the servers are friendly, prompt and conversational. Casual is the name. The menu is not huge, but if you are into seafood, it's hard to find something that is not wonderful. They have a daily all you can eat special, that usually has three choices. You can do 1 2 or 3 of the items available. Their Chowders are very good. Indeed I would be happy with just a meal of any of them. Last trip was the Grouper chowder. This time was I had the three available all you can eat specials. Sea Bass, Popcorn shrimp and Crab Cakes. The bass was fresh and flaky the Shrimp were also freshly made in their own batter, the crab cakes however were, Meh. Honestly I've had better, but I've also had worse. I usually hesitate to order them, as they often are mostly filler, and expensive, and I've disappointed probably too many times. However it was worth a try. As it was I had a second helping of the shrimp and sea bass. I was happy. My wife had a shrimp cocktail and it was fresh and delicious. It was the day after Valentines day and we sprung for the Chocolate Raspberry cake for desert. A huge piece to die for. So if you find yourself near the key, and are looking for good seafood, very reasonable, I say give it a try, it's a gem. read more

While I have never eaten in the restaurant. I stop at the market every time I pass to buy their smoked fish. It is wonderful and makes a great dip. read more

Was pretty good. We had the grouper hoagie and the shrimp hoagie for lunch. Both were decent. My friend had fries for a side and I had the chowder. Chowder was clam and corn and was quite good and in a fair sized bowl. Nothing wow about the lunch but it was filling. Better deal would be $4 more for the all you can eat but hard to do at lunch for me. read more

My wife Judy & I ate there yesterday, Larry Mitchell, we enjoyed the food more than another seafood restaurant that we have eaten at in a while!!! The gumbo was the best I have ever tasted, bar none!!! I would recommend that You go and try their food, even if You have to drive 100 miles!!! Thanks for our experience and to our awesome waitress Dakota and to the cook, Eve.....PS: deserts are awesome as well, if You can save room after those ""BIG""" meals!!! God Bless You ALL!!!! read more

All you can eat fresh shrimp, hush puppies, soup, crab cakes, mullet!! Awesome!!! 3rd time here and always good!

What a great meal we had. The fried oysters were perfection. You could tell they were fresh. The shrimp were very tasty too. Service was excellent. No alcohol but you can byob. Will go back often. read more

In the past couple weeks I have bought green scrimp here two times along with their in-house cocktail sauce and both were fresh and tasty. We decided to try their all you can eat seafood feast and we were not huge fans. The chowder is a tomato based fish chowder which we don't enjoy nearly as much as the white chowder and it was not very hot when serviced. I enjoyed the fried shrimp, the hush puppies and the Cole slaw but the crab cake was soso and the mullet was OK except I had to (fish) out a number of bones which completely took my wife out of the game. So, I will buy items in their seafood market to prepare at home but we probably won't go back for dinner read more

Ok sooo i didn't plan on yet another great dinner/review but the grouper dip was excellent so I said im going full hoagie. Wow so i ordered the grouper hoagie and just loved it ,loved it lol. Fish was great. Nicely fried , greens were all very fresh and crisp. Definitely got this on my faves list. read more

Absolutely great food.... so worth the two hour drive. We enjoyed the smoked mullet dip. The all you can eat is super reasonable at 13.95. Great fresh fried mullet, oysters, and shrimp. read more

Robinson's Seafood - Awesome mullet, oysters and smoked mullet dip. So good! - Seafood Near Me - Cedar Key, Florida

We had a delicious dinner-my husband had the grouper and I ordered the crab cakes. For appetizers- the oysters were local, plump and sweet. Service was efficient and very fast. Our waitress was fun and helpful. I could eat here every night! read more

Found this on a yelp review looking for fresh seafood- boy, did we get rewarded! Worth the 8 mile drive out of Cedar Key without a doubt. We were the only people in the restaurant who weren't local. The owner was our server and we felt like we were eating in her house. Excellent, homemade food and fresh seafood. And the prices?! Ridiculously inexpensive. Dinner was a true treat tonight. read more

Great seafood restaurant! Has a great small family owned restaurant feel. Food was great, service was great! Can't beat the prices either. read more

Seems popular with locals but honestly the meal I had here was probably one of the worst seafood meals ever eaten. The smoked mullet dip was good, and the broiled grouper was reportedly good, but my fried mullet dinner should never have hit the plate. It was burned and dry and had an unbelievable number of bones in it. How embarrassing. They say their building was "designed and built" by the original owner as if it had some sort of charm. It's a block building with no distinguishing characteristics whatsoever, and if it weren't for the booths you would swear you were eating in your garage. A local hangout with a hit and miss menu. I recommend you miss it altogether and grill some hotdogs. read more

Everything here was DELICIOUS!! Except for the crab cakes. I hope one day those are a little better. We had grouper chowder, fried sea bass, fried oysters, fried shrimp and the best darn hush puppies!! read more

Wednesday all you can eat is rip off... Takes about 30 minutes to get 2nd serving since 1st serving is small. Like everyone else, no workers. read more

I ordered all you could eat seafood which tonight consisted of mullet (which had bones so I didn't order), sea bass and shrimp....all of which was fried and was normal in taste, nothing super different (I'd probably suggest a little Cajun seasoning). I also had coconut cake....let me just say if a dessert does not taste better than what I make, it's not that great. I make REALLY good coconut cake and this was not REALLY good...just average....well, maybe not even that. The limas over rice was ok but needed more salt. My date ordered a seafood platter which consisted of a homemade crab cake, shrimp, oysters, & mullet. He said the shrimp were good (if he could have a re-do on the order, that's all he would get haha). The mullet was "ok" and the crab cake was a little over cooked. He also go a fish chowder that was really good but be warned it's tomato based not cream based...& we added a little salt and hot sauce (nom). The prices were great (most seafood dinners including all you can eat were approximately $13.95. Hush puppies came with our meal as well as baked beans (his) and coleslaw (both), all of which were normal tasting. Candy, our waitress gets 5 stars though b/c she was a lot of fun and very attentive!!! read more

Great place and good prices. We had crab cakes, oysters and mullet. The mullet was fried with the skin on the way it should be. They all were fresh hot and tasty. A great place for kids as well. Kids meal was only $5.95 and the all you can eat was only $11.95 I will eat here again. read more

I as well just go for the market. Unbelievable prices. Nothing like buying seafood that just came off the boat.

This place was really good and reasonably priced. We had the all - you - can eat fried shrimp and sea bass. It came with hush puppies, slaw, and chowder. We had issues with the glasses not being clean and the interior is far from classy. The staff was very kind and hard working. I would deff go back. Best fried shrimp I've had in years. The food was very hot and fresh. The waitress even mentioned that they had picked the tomatoes fresh from the garden that morning. read more

If you are in Cedar Key, this is a must stop. Locally owned, serving local seafood, everything is home made. $14 all you can eat specials daily; we were there for all u can eat fried shrimp, fried sea bass and crad cakes. Served with the best hush puppies ever, home made Cole slaw, and fantastic homemade clam chowder (with local clams of course). Research restaurants before dumping a bunch of money in Cedar Key, there are only a couple of good ones, and this is one of them. read more

they have an all u can eat special but it is all fried. i ordered grouper which they said they caught in their own boat, but then i over heard the waitress with another customer saying grouper season didnt start yet. i dunno. the grouper was cooked just right, i had to ask for 'not fried', but the sides were weak and small portions. service was low end..... next time i will eat in town read more

All You Can Eat was fantastic! Sea Bass, Crab Cakes and Fried Shrimp with pups and coleslaw for $13.95 - I was skeptical but pleasantly surprised. The fried shrimp breading was light and crispy, my favorite. Husband liked the crab cakes the best. Staff was friendly and very attentive. We will definitely go back if we visit Cedar Key again. read more

Not what we expected! The oil was old tasty. The grouper hoagie was not tasty because the cooking oil tasted fishy. I had clam strips and they were fair. If I return to the area, I will eat often water in Cedar Key. This place has a seafood market also and the seafood smelled very fishy as well. Disappointment. read more

These people not only stopped their everyday lives to feed some of us wounded veterans with Operation Outdoor Freedom but they served some amazing food and have an outstanding atmosphere. I don't just suggest you stop by here but I insist on it. read more

Went to eat here on 4/9 and sat outside. Very busy with the art festival in town - but since we were staying right down the road at the Cedar Key RV Resort we thought we'd give it a try. Very disappointed in the cold peel and eat shrimp appetizer. The shrimp were mussy and the hush puppies we had were tasteless...not spices at all. Would not recommend this place if you are in the area head down to town. read more

The shrimp is fresh, tender, and delicious. All you can eat for $12.95 when we were there. Incredibly good.

Amazing! I had the best peel and eat shrimp here they were huge and very fresh, did I mention well priced! This place is in the middle of nowhere it was quite the detour but sooooo worth it. The oyster hoogie was the best I've had. The fried shrimp and mullet dip with the most delicious hush puppies! This place is a real find if you are in the area do yourself a favor and stop! The have the cedar neck clams and soft shell crab when in season. They don't serve alcohol but they said you can bring your own. They have outside seating, dog friendly out there. Service was friendly and prompt. read more

Eat here once. Had seafood platter. So-so!. Restaurant has a pungent greasy smell. Companion had clam chowder. A few clams. Broth laced flavor. Pass this one by. read more

Had dinner at this restaurant tonight and the food was excellent. I had fish chowder first which was delicious. My entree was broiled shrimp served with baked beans and cole slaw and a buttery dipping sauce. My husband had fried mullet. The portions were large and his diner was all you can eat. With the amount of fish they served, he did not ask for seconds. Our server was warm and friendly and very good at her job. She was attentive and we lacked nothing. The atmosphere is homey and there is a fish store right next door if you want to cook at home. I would recommend this restaurant as the food is good and the price is very reasonable. read more

We went here when we were camping at Cedar Key. It was close and reviews were ok. We had the 13.95 all you can eat fish and shrimp. It came with chowder and hush puppies and slaw. Everything was fried. It was good but not the best shrimp I have had. Chowder was good. Wait staff was very nice. Small place. They also have a seafood store to buy fresh seafood. We went to get oysters on Tuesday but they are closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. read more

We stopped for fresh seafood to take home on our way back from Cedar Key where we had lunch. Bought a whole red snapper which they filleted for us and rock crab legs. The shrimp looked beautiful. Can't wait! read more

Went for dinner last night. Ordered raw oysters, then the clam chowder and for an entree, the shrimp hoagie. All of it showed up at our table within 5 mins. Tried to send the hoagie back for them to keep warm while we enjoyed our appetizers but was told the would just heat it in the microwave. They have a lot to learn about serving items with time in between but I must say, the food was fantastic!! So if you're in a hurry, go to Robinsons! Leisure dinner...not so much. Also, unlike a question that was asked on here, they do not serve alcohol ! read more
