I am rarely in this area and after finding Salt Shack on Instagram I made a point to come grab a meal. I visited on a Sunday for lunch. I could tell when I arrived this is like PEAK time for the restaurant. The restaurant overlooks the lake and there was so many people enjoying the lake out back and coming up to grab food. The parking lot was full but got lucky with a street spot. There could have been a better system checking in with the hostess because there was a mob of people all gathered around the hostess with no order whatsoever. We finally got sat outside. I wished for a seat inside because it was brutally hot outside with a few outdoor fans but not enough. Our server was fantastic and service was great. I ordered a mojito that was refreshing for the day. I ordered the island chicken tacos. While the tacos tasted good, nothing screamed "island". The chicken wasn't marinated. Just a sauce that was on the side. I enjoyed the yuca fries that I got on the side. My boyfriend got the island chicken sandwich which he liked but agreed with the chicken not being really island-y. We enjoyed the island drum player that was outside and provided a good vibe! read more

If you're ever in the Clermont area, I highly recommend stopping by Salt Shack On The Lake. It has one of the most beautiful lakefront locations around. Watching the sunset over the lake while enjoying a great meal makes for an incredible experience. I've eaten here several times because I wanted to make sure my opinion was based on consistency, and they've impressed me every visit. This time I ordered the chimichurri steak, and it was phenomenal. The steak was incredibly tender, and the chimichurri sauce was packed with flavor. It also came with two sweet, soft plantains that were absolutely delicious and fried yuca. Their fried yuca is a must-try. It's perfectly cooked and topped with an amazing sauce that takes it to another level. I've also enjoyed their raw oysters, which have always been fresh and delicious. If you're a seafood lover, their grilled and blackened fish dishes are outstanding as well. The service deserves just as much praise as the food. The waiters and waitstaff are friendly, attentive, and always on point, making every visit feel welcoming. Whether you're looking for a romantic date night, a family dinner, or just a place to relax with a couple of cocktails by the water, Salt Shack is an excellent choice. Between the incredible food, outstanding service, and spectacular lakefront setting, it's easily one of my favorite restaurants in Clermont. read more

Salt Shack - Chimichurri Streak - Seafood Near Me - Clermont, Florida

We stumbled across this gem of a place while driving to Tampa from Orlando. The atmosphere was very lively and right on the lake. The staff were very friendly and informative. The pina colada was recommended by our server and I must say that was the best pina colada I've ever had. It was creamy, with roasted coconut flakes on top. The food was quick and exceptionally tasty. The mahi dip was perfectly balanced between cream and fish. It was served with green peppers and a spicy sauce on the side which worked well together. The chicken had a creamy coconut sauce which was not too sweet and paired well with the well seasoned and juicy chicken. Highly recommend if you're looking for really great food and drinks with even better views read more

This is a cute spot by the lake that feels very much like a little shack. There was plenty of seating when we came in and the waitresses were very friendly. I started with a piña colada and ordered it without the rum float (I'm not a fan of dark rum). It was not strong at all and was probably the best tasting alcoholic drink I have ever had! It was so creamy and flavorful, and had some toasted coconut on top which was a nice touch. If I was rating this place on the drink alone, it would be 5 stars. However, for my meal I ordered coconut shrimp with yuca fries and it was just alright. The yuca fries were cooked well and came with a tasty dipping sauce. The shrimp had a very heavy coating of batter, and barely any coconut on it. The dipping sauce was good but the coating just made it less enjoyable. Overall it was a good experience but the drink was definitely the star. read more

I visited The Salt Shack with my grandma a few months ago and absolutely loved the atmosphere. The waterfront views are beautiful, and sitting outside on the patio gives such a relaxed, beachy vibe right in downtown Clermont. It's such a fun spot to enjoy on a nice Florida day. I've only tried the shrimp tacos so far, but they were really good, and I usually pair them with a beer while enjoying the view. It is a little on the pricier side, but the atmosphere and location make it worth it for me. Overall, it's a really great place to have in Clermont and definitely somewhere I'd recommend if you're looking for a casual spot with great outdoor seating and scenic views. read more

Great seafood spot with beautiful, relaxing lake views and convenient parking. The service was excellent, and Marissa was such a pleasure, incredibly friendly and attentive throughout our meal. The food was delicious, perfectly cooked, and wonderfully fresh. We started with the fish bites and lobster bisque, then had the avocado salad with grilled shrimp and the fried shrimp basket. Everything was flavorful and prepared just right. We can't wait to return! read more

Salt Shack - Tuna tartare - Seafood Near Me - Clermont, Florida

Yum yum yum. We came here for dinner after I ran a nearby half marathon and I wanted to eat everything! I got one of their fun cocktails and it was refreshing and flavorful! Then, I started with the lobster bisque - it was delicious, but definitely veryyyyyy heavy on the cream - to the point that I couldn't finish it and took it home. Then, even though it's an app, I got the ceviche for my dinner - it was tart, refreshing and the perfect portion side. As a table, we also shared the ahi tuna, which felt very fresh with perfectly ripe avocado. It was just a great meal, a great environment, and a fun spot to hang out at! read more

Such a beautiful place in Clermont. It is right on the lake and the view is spectacular. I got the steamed shrimp and the lobster bisque. The shrimp were nicely seasoned and the texted was nice and firm not mushy at all. The cocktail sauce was good as well. The lobster bisque had almost shredded lobster and not big chucks. I would have preferred more chunks of lobster for a bisque. Marissa was our server a was so sweet and helpful. She was very attentive and always smiling. She was fantastic! read more

I had a hankering for some seafood and checked my yelp app which suggested this spot - after tooling thru a regular looking neighborhood with my family, we came upon this lakefront eatery & were not disappointed! I had gator bites (better than most I've tried) and the catch of the day. I appreciated that the catch of the day wasn't your typical choice - I actually had to google what a tilefish was! It was delicious and refreshing to try something new. The staff is young and friendly and the food comes out surprisingly quickly. read more

I've been here about 6 times in the last 8 months. I really like the location and atmosphere. My favorite is on the ground level by the water.

Salt Shack - Seafood Near Me - Clermont, Florida

I met a friend for lunch and the place did not disappoint us. We started out at a table on the porch, which gave us a great view of the lake. Our server, Ian, was friendly and once we told him we were not in a rush, he left us to decide on our choices. My friend had the Tuna Tartare, which she raved about, and I had the fish basket(grouper on this day). As the day got progressively humid, we asked to move inside to have dessert. My friend had the Rum Cake and I had homemade Key Lime Pie. Both were excellent. The place was busy for lunch on a Monday, so I have no idea what the dinner crowd is like. If you want something different, give this place a try. They have a bar and from what others have written, the Pina Colada is outstanding! read more

This is the cutest place on the water! We sat inside but still had a great view. Our server was very kind. The food was awesome. We loved everything we got from the calamari to the fish tacos to the coconut shrimp! Definitely would love to come back. We got sat right at 12 with no issues but definitely looked like it got busier right after! A great area to walk around also! read more

Salt Shack - Mahi tacos - Seafood Near Me - Clermont, Florida

Service was poor and prices are out of line. $24 for basic white wine that you can buy bottle in store for $13. 1/2 pound burger on menu that was lucky if it was a quarter pound. read more

Great atmosphere. Reminds me of places at Hilton Head or Key West. Very diverse sea food menu. We actually just found out about this place and went twice in one week. The service was so-so. If your thirsty you better take your own water bottle with you. On both visits it took 15-20 minutes to get a drink. All the meals that we had would good. My only complaint about their grouper sandwich is that it consists of two small pieces instead of one. Therefore you get to experience the falling apart sandwich as you take a bite. Food was hot including the French fries. read more

Salt Shack has great views of Lake Minneola and borderline mediocre food. You come for the ambience and atmosphere pretty much. Service was good for how busy it was. The virgin piña colada was good. The wings are decent. It's a very popular place so expect to wait 30 mins to be seated if you come on the weekend. read more

Salt Shack - Seafood Near Me - Clermont, Florida

What a fun bar in central Florida! There were many people enjoying the beach and coming up off boats. The parking area was very small but there is an overflow lot near by. There was a big line outside of the restaurant, so we were worried there would be a long wait. To our surprise, it was only 15 minutes. They text you when your table is ready. We were able to grab drinks at the bar in the meantime. For lunch, I ordered the grouper tacos and my friend ordered the chicken fingers. Everything was hot and fresh, and tasted great. The service was wonderful as well. Since it was open air in some areas of the restaurant, there were a lot of fans throughout to keep everything cool. These fans kept blowing out paper products which was slightly annoying. read more

Finally made it even if you come early it gets very busy and I can understand why. The views, the location and the options for seafood are decent . Our food came out in a good amount of time even though it was very busy in the afternoon on a weekend. The jerk burger was very good made well done but still yet very juicy with a nice sweet and spicy balance flavor. The fries are sprinkled with old bay which were very good. My friend had the shrimp burger, and she was presently surprised with the taste very meaty full of shrimp flavor. The calamari was a little too thick for our taste. The batter nice and thin and the sauce was a very good but different flavor. I would come back and try their fried fish as well. Customer service was very friendly, nice and attentive. read more

The entire area is so much fun. read more

We came back again. I got the large fried shrimp with fries. Wife got the crab cake sandwich with fries. There are only 8 shrimp for $22.00 with lots of fries. They were light batter and cooked correctly just only I would call them medium and not large. The wife's crab cake was the better price at $18.75 and she ate it all. Said it was very good. Got Keylime pie for dessert and it was made just right. Great taste and creamy like they should be. No one stoped to wait on us until we asked the waitress next to us and she got right on our order. Natalia turn out to be great! In the end the extra wait was worth getting her. Summer time so we sat inside for the AC. Here about 12:30 and packed both inside and on the outside deck. Little noisy inside. Drinks are on the pricey side $10-12 for the size of the glass. Most people seem to order beer or wine. Overall it a nice place to look at the lake and have some good food. read more

Salt Shack is the place to go for a great lunch and dinner. Amazing service, food and atmosphere. A Plus!

Horrible Horrible experience .Me and my husband went there for lunch and I ordered a shrimp burger sandwich and after consuming half the burger I noticed that the other half of burger was cold and undercooked so I immediately informed the waitress and she bought a so called manager over by the name of Jessie and she proceeded to inform me that the shrimp burger was cooked and she showed it to chef and he said it was cooked as well .But when she first approached the table she said I was unsatisfied with the remains of my food I did eat half the burger but the other half was completely uncooked and tasted raw .When I eventually received the check the item was still on check and I asked to talk to her again and she said she wouldn't take it off check since I ate half so I asked her to recook the burger and give me half and she refused.i was treated so horribly in this establishment read more

I asked for a Tito's and soda tall and they changed me 4 dollars extra per drink. I said I didn't ask for an extra pour. The manager told me I should have know and told them it was to strong. She said i was paying for it and I didn't have a choice. It was going to be $28.50 for two singles drinks. It took a second manager to fix the problem and then they couldn't take off the over charging from the drink had to take it off the food. I really think there is something very shady going on here. Been here twice and will never go back again. This place is ripping people off. And laughing their way all the way to the bank.. read more

Went here for date night with the hubby a few weeks ago. What a transformation compared to the old business that was here a couple of years ago! The inside is completely transformed. Very spacious large dining area inside with lots of seating. They also offer patio seating and large picnic tables outside in the sandy area. Very beachy laid back vibes with the sand, shells, lake view, boats and Adirondack chairs. It was a busy Friday night but we were checked in within 30 minutes of arriving. Long enough to take in the awesome views. We sat in the Adirondack chairs under the large oak tree, waiting for the text letting us know when our table was ready. Our order was taken promptly and brought out quickly. We enjoyed the stacked ahi appetizer, which was served with perfectly crisp taro chips. The layers were seaweed, avocado and ahi tuna, topped with sesame seeds. It was absolutely delicious. My husband ordered the fish and chips. They were very good but not a great value. It is mostly French fries with several chunks of fried fish bites. The fish he had was very tasty though, he just wished it had more. I ordered the chimmichuri steak. The steak was tender and cooked medium well. They have an odd pork based sauce served with the fried yuca that I did not care for. The best sauce they had was the garlic lime aoili, which I ordered on the side. We will definitely return for the great views, service and food. read more

Can't complain! Closest thing to the beach without going! Free parking, small beach, lots of seating inside and out! They play Caribbean style music and drink prices were fair. The wine seems a little pricey compared to the liquor, until you see it's and 8 ounce pour :) food was good. Mai tai was made correctly and nothing was too sugary or filled with juice. They have oysters as well! Great food options. Tacos look great! Awesome place to throw a party and it looks like the bike trial connects :) read more

We chose Salt Shack to celebrate our friend's birthday, but unfortunately the experience was very disappointing. Our appetizers arrived within about 10-15 minutes, which was a great start. After we finished those, however, it took roughly 20 minutes before we saw our server again to place our entrée order. Once we ordered, we waited another 55 minutes for our food. When our entrées finally arrived, they were cold, as though they had been sitting in the kitchen before being brought to our table. We let our server know, but only one of the meals was replaced with a hot version. We were also given a to-go box with one extra taco and a side of fries. By the end of the meal, our server apologized for what she called a "bad birthday dinner," which we appreciated, but by then it was already 9:30 p.m. and we were ready to leave. Since we were celebrating a birthday, it was especially disappointing that there wasn't even an offer of a small dessert or any gesture to help make up for the experience. Overall, the long wait, cold food, and lack of service recovery made for a very disappointing birthday dinner. We left wishing we had chosen somewhere else to celebrate. read more

After a hot day of golf we stopped here for drinks and food. Great atmosphere! Tables outside, inside and convenience to park boat by sandy beach. Live music, tables under canvas canopy. Dog friendly. Great for families. Our waiter was Daniel and he was attentive, friendly, gladly took our group photo and was quick to make recommendations or bring anything we needed extra promptly! Make sure to ask for Daniel next time you visit! The ceviche was amazing!!! We all agreed that we would come back again. Ample parking both on street and in public parking lot on Memorial Day weekend! Only negative was we were told we would get a text when our table was ready however if you're over on the bar side the cell reception was poor so we didn't get the text nor did anyone come around asking our name. Otherwise plenty of staff on hand and all very accommodating! read more

Today I decided to treat myself to go out for lunch. Had this Restaurant in my plans for a while. Surprisingly it is extremely big but very busy. Being that was only one person I decided to choose the bar. The staff was extremely friendly at the bar. I think it'd only took maybe about 30 seconds and I had a drink in front of me. Even though I knew exactly what I was gonna have I even had a menu. I ordered the tuna Tata. It only took about 10 or so minutes and my lunch was in front of me. Very nice presentation. And even though this is an appetizer, it is ample for a main dish. Like I said, the presentation was fabulous, but the taste was spectacular. I would highly recommend this dish to anybody that likes tuna. read more
