Absolutely loved this place! We originally were supposed to meet up at another restaurant close by but fortunately it was closed that day so we went to Plan B. Opened Yelp, read the reviews and said let's meet here. Parking has about 15 spots next to the restaurant than a larger lot very close. You enter through what looks like a side door and a small hostess stand with a very friendly young lady took us to our table. The gentleman who was our waiter was very nice however my only complaint would be he could have been more attentive. We started with the Ahi and Fish bites. Both were excellent and a hit with the table. I ordered the grouper sandwich, lightly blackened and it was PERFECT! Everyone else enjoyed their meal, they all got the fish tacos. The location is right on the lake, with great views, tables outside as well as the AC inside. Some alarm did go off a couple times but overall a wonderful experience and would happily visit again! read more

Super cute spot right on the water. They have an inside part, a deck spot and picnic tables in the sand. If you have a boat you can dock it right at the restaurant. There is a free parking lot right next door to the restaurant and it had plenty of spots. Food was good, not great but good. We did really enjoy the fried oysters! Those were great. Drinks were good as well. I'd definitely come back for a nice chill spot with an incredible view read more

A friend of ours suggested this place. As we were following directions at one point I thought this was some where we had been before. This place is more towards the park area and WOW what a great time. Even though they were packed we still were able to get a wonderful water view seat outside. They even had seating right on the waters edge. The atmosphere here is super chill and laid back. Parking is a little tight so go next door to the Public Parking area and just walk over. Jordan was our server and she was fantastic. My sweetheart and I shared the Fish Bites and fires. Our app was the Spicy Jalapeno Mahi Dip. Our order came Our quick which was nice and everything was delicious. Everything was just fantastic. Boats were coming and going. There was a couple people were on Jet Skiing also. They had seating on the other side that was beach style with Adirondack chairs facing the water so you could just have a drink, chill and watch the sun set. In other words, yes we will be making a point to come back here as often as possible. We had such a great time here. Side note: Jordan asked that we include the following. She is single amd looking fpr someone 30 plus. She is a teacher, has her motorcycle endorsement and even has her own motorcycle. Also she has and likes tattoos. read more

This is a nice spot for fresh seafood with a beautiful lakefront view. It seems like the outdoor seating is in high demand because of this. When we arrived, we had the option of waiting 20 min for outdoor seating or no wait for indoors. We were hungry, so we went with the latter. The service was excellent and quick. Our waitress was attentive, but not overbearing. She also anticipated some of our dietary restrictions and noted that there was pork in one of the sauces, which we wouldn't have expected. She had great suggestions for alternatives and ensured we were accommodated. Now, on to the food. We had virgin piña coladas to drink -- delicious. We ordered the calamari as one of our appetizers. It tasted fresh and light. We also had the ceviche (first time). It was very tasty. I ordered the crab cake sandwich for my entree. It's not something I'd normally get but I was feeling adventurous. I enjoyed it more after requesting some extra citrus mustard (so good!) to pair with it. I got yuca fries as the side and those were the best I've had at a restaurant. My husband had the fire grilled fish of the day (pompano) and loved it. While the food was great, I think we would've enjoyed the ambiance outside a lot more. It was a bit loud and crowded for my liking indoors. So, I give this place 4.5 stars overall and look forward to visiting again. read more

Salt Shack - Calamari and ceviche - Seafood Near Me - Clermont, Florida

Saw this place being advertised on Insta and had to check it out. This place is right off the Clermont side of Lake Minneola and has a substantial beach footprint with a dock for folks to visit via boat, wave runner, or paddle board/canoe. It also has a separate parking lot and is closer to Clermont city parking, so big plus for ease of getting here. Let's talk food! I sat at the bar on a a Thursday afternoon for lunch and the bartender was very friendly and attentive. The view was also perfect to enjoy the waterfront. I ordered the Ceviche to start. On this day, they had shrimp but they also use various white fish as available. This dish was fresh and absolutely delicious. Squeeze of lime brought the flavor and it's served which these soft yet crunchy chips that are made IN HOUSE! Love that and perfect way to get you ready for your meal. For lunch, I tried the Fish Tacos. Now, you can get these with Mahi, Grouper, or Shrimp. I went with Mahi. Blackened perfectly bringing a little heat that goes well with the slaw, avocado, and the cilantro lime crèma. Even the fries were warm and well seasoned. I also went with a rum runner for a good day drink and to my surprise it was fresh made vs batch. So good and perfect for a lake front lunch. All in all, a great way to spend a Thursday afternoon by the water. I can't wait to go back! read more

This is like a Diners Drive In And Dives place for sure. It's got a KILLER View, you can bring your boat, your dog, your kids or whatever you want. Food is good and drinks are GREAT. There Pina Colada is 100% LEGIT. Service was good and no complaints here. We did have one thing off the menu that wasn't so good, but the manager and server took care of this right away with no worries. Def a go to for a cool date night, or if you just want to have some "Vibe" with your food and a killer view. The place DOES GET BUSY so be ready for a wait on peak times. read more

Salt Shack - 100% LEGIT DRINK - Seafood Near Me - Clermont, Florida

I've come to this restaurant over the years and always come by when I'm in this area. Very tasty food and very beautiful views of the lake. I sat outside on the lake and enjoyed the breeze. The drinks were also really good. The service was great , very kind and attentive staff. Felt like I was on the beach instead of a lake, was really nice. read more

This was my first time sending food back ever. Ordered a chicken sandwich and the chicken was rock hard and chewy. The person I was with took a bite as well and we both couldn't even swallow it, it was tough and disgusting. Sent it back and switched for an impossible burger which I thought would come with at least lettuce / tomato as a normal burger would but it was just a plain patty and bun. Nothing on it. Language barrier with the waitress didn't help. The atmosphere was nice (though watching kids play and spit red lake water out of their mouths was concerning) and the music wasn't too loud, but the prices were not worth it by a mile. Go anywhere else. read more

The bartenders are phenomenal. Always have a great time with them. Menu is really good and delicious. Love the casual waterside vibe. read more

This restaurant is right on the water in Clermont which gives a beach feel. We were here for work and unfortunately the weather was super cold while we were here. This was recommended by locals that live here and it didn't disappoint. I had the Mahi Mahi tacos and we shared a bottle of wine. Service was great and even though we are inside we still had great views during the rainy weather. read more

Salt Shack - Crab cakes - 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

We loved this restaurant! Beautiful wrap around potion with the most gorgeous view of Lake Minneola. It has a flair for the Caribbean that I have not had anywhere. We started with their Pima Colada with toasted coconut and an option of light rum or dark rum! We are big fans of calamari and we were not disappointed!! The catch of the day with Caribbean vegetables was the best I have ever tasted! My husband tried the crab cake sandwich which he said was moist and had a lot of crab instead of filler! Our waitress Chelsea was prompt and so nice, always checked on us! This is a relatively new location and has only been opened this year! If you have not been, get there! read more

A little confusing to find the host stand depending where you enter. We wound up having to go on the other side of the restaurant to be seated. It took a little while to be greeted at the table as well so I was getting a little worried, but when our server did come over, everything was fast from there. I ordered the Mahi Mahi tacos with yucca fries. The Mahi was dry, but the tacos were delicious. I didn't care much for the fries, but the tuna tartare app was amazing as well. My husband enjoyed his burger which was cooked to the correct temp. I would come back and suggest this place in downtown Clermont. The location on the water is obviously fantastic. read more

Wow, the vibe is everything. Feels like you're on vacation from the moment you walk in. Wife and I came for lunch on a Tuesday and it took all the will power I possess to not order a drink with a salted rim and a little something something. But I digress. We ordered fried oysters, a fish basket, Mahi Tacos and a house salad. Everything was super hot, fresh and well seasoned. Our server took great care of us, she was attentive and friendly. Highly recommend and will definitely be back! read more

Great service and great food. We originally sat outside but it started to rain so we sat inside. Server was excellent and so patient and kind. Food was delicious. Everything came out piping hot. Calamari was really good! I got the fried shrimp. Their tartar sauce was good and tangy. The kids meals were very generous portions. Their bathrooms are clean! I would definitely come back and try to eat outside. read more

Food was good. Service was good. Ambience was good. But watch your checks people. I was stupid and didn't check but then thought twice about it on the way home. My meal totaled around $71 before tip. But the total when the waiter brought me the little handheld machine (I hate those things by the way) was $93 and change. Then I added a tip on top of that for a total of $109 and change. So I ended up tipping $38 on a $71 meal. Yes I was in a rush and stupid. The only explanation I have is that they automatically add a tip. But they don't tell you this or at least my waiter didn't. And if you automatically add a tip then why prompt for another tip?? Maybe it should ask the question do you want to add an extra tip? Anyway, it's on me, but I think it's still sketchy business. Not sure if we'll be back or not. Feeling a little duped right now. read more

Loved that we found this place in Clermont! Very relaxing views of the lake and you can even sit on the beach tables upon request. There is an inside bar, plenty of open seating, and outside seating as well. The prices were extremely fair for the quality served. We started off with the lobster bisque. It's served in a blue mug and is very light but creamy. What makes it unique is how stringy/chunky the meat inside is. We also had the fritters which had a thin crust but were super soft & chewy inside. These were alright but not the best I've ever had. For my entree I ordered the Shrimp burger, wow- absolutely loved it! And instead of being basic and getting fries I ordered the fried yuca! It had this sofrito on top that was delicious and the sauce served with the burger was great too! We will be returning again very soon I can't wait to order more delicious seafood! read more

I often visit the Clermont area, and Salt Shack is a recent addition to the local dining scene. I waited a few months after its opening to try it out. Although it was busy, I quickly got a lakefront table. The wait staff greeted me promptly and took my drink and appetizer orders. I was impressed by how quickly everything arrived. The service was excellent, and the food and drinks were even better. I started with conch fritters, jerk wings, and a Salt Shack Mai Tai, and for my entrée, I chose the blackened grouper tacos. Every bite was delicious, and the overall experience was exceptional. It was a nice breezy afternoon, perfect for enjoying a meal by the lake. I highly recommend checking out the Salt Shack if you're in the area, I'll definitely be back. Fresh Group Fish Tacos w/Yuca Fries Freshly blackened served on flour tortillas with shredded cheese, avocado, jicama slaw, cilantro, and tomato mango salsa. Drizzled with Chili Horseradish.

Amazing food, quick service, and the ambiance was amazing right on the water! Loved the variety of outdoor seating options including Adirondack chairs, tables, and picnic benches down by the water.

We came for lunch on a Friday. It was hopping! Salt Shack has fresh fish and delicious burgers. The kitchen juices the citrus for bar drinks fresh every day.

Will be back! read more

I am extremely disappointed with the level of customer service at this restaurant. Over the course of two days, I called at least 15 times and not once did anyone answer the phone. I left two voicemails and never received a callback. I also sent two emails, both of which were completely ignored. After getting nowhere, we had to physically go into the restaurant just to speak with a manager. Instead of taking accountability, we were given a weak excuse as to why calls and messages were going unanswered. To make matters worse, the manager then provided us with yet another email address to contact with our questions--unsurprisingly, we never received a response there either. It's incredibly frustrating and unprofessional to have to go to such lengths just to get basic communication. If a business cannot manage something as simple as answering calls or responding to customers, it raises serious concerns about how the rest of the operation is run. I would not recommend this place based on the lack of responsiveness and poor customer service alone. read more

If you want a restaurant with a view and not in Orlando or another big city, this is your place. Salt Shack is right on the lake (like people can sit on the beach and order drinks). I did see a boat come and they did get down to order. Do you want fast service? Well, you will get here (based on my experience). I came with my whole family (15 people) between two tables. Our server was fast and attentive (when he wasn't annoyed by us). He was kind for the most part minus anytime we had an issue. Then he was visibly annoyed and would sigh loudly. The issue in question was regarding the calamari. Stay away from the calamari. It was not fresh or even hot despite it coming out within minutes of placing the order. On top of that it was so overcooked that I felt like I was eating crisped and crumbly breading and leather. We returned it and received AFTER our main course (no biggie but stark contrast from when we first got it and the second time). It was hot but I have a suspicion they took our original order and put it in the microwave. No hint of it being fired though within the last hour (or last 6 hours). And the calamari under closed inspection was yellow? Two of my aunts ordered the calamari alongside my mom and I. After the second time, we just sent it back, unable to save the badly overcooked and crumbled calamari with lemon juice or their homemade ranch which was delicious. It was just bad sorry to say. While the calamari was a bust, the shrimp under the shellfish part of the menu that came steamed or cold and peel (steamed obviously) was very good. My mom and I split a pound of shrimp which ended up more than enough for us. I would go back for the shrimp however, there is a Cajun place closer to me that produces same results that I could just visit instead. Is it worth a drive? Yes. The views are pretty and having a meal while overlooking the lake is nice. Unless I really want the view again, I would skip it on a second return (maybe if I want something close and it has to have a view of water then yes I will visit again). My dad ordered the chimichurri steak who said it was good just not memorable. My cousin found her steak to me very oily so her food was greasy. My aunts who shared a grouper taco dish and the shrimp basket which only comes with 6 shrimps for the same price as a pound of shrimp steamed was. Both of the dishes were good and well-liked by my aunts who also commented on the size of the fish was a meaty price. It's a bit pricey at times ($26 dollars for 6 grilled shrimps or $22 for 6 piece fried shrimp basket) while some stuff was affordable and a good deal (19.95 for a pound of shrimp). Service: 4/5 (he was fast and really helpful, -1 for the visible annoyed look and annoyed sighs at us for returning food) Food: 3/5 (this was iffy. The shrimp steamed was 5/5 but the calamari seriously was so bad -5/5) Ambiance: 5/5 (the views were nice. It's not super loud either) Overall experience: 3/5 (seriously the calamari really ruined a lot of the experience. I enjoyed my main dish but did not find it something that I needed to go back to try again). read more

Absolutely beautiful location but pack your patience. The wait was 45 minutes but we were able to go to the bar and get two delicious drinks to walk around the area. It is so beautiful. Lots of chairs by the lake to sit and wait. Once we were calling to our tables, we were sat on the outside picnic table area. Weather was great and so we had a great view. There's much playing on speakers in the background. We ordered Smoke fish dip that took about 25 minutes to arrive. While we waited for it we ordered our main entrees which ended up taking 40 mins to come after our appetizer. The was a very busy Saturday. Weather was so Beautiful and so I'm sure that affected everyone wanting to enjoy the day. Food was flavorful and drinks were delicious. We would go back maybe during a slower time. read more

1-Star Review (only because zero isn't an option) This was one of the most disappointing dining experiences I've had in a long time. We were seated promptly, but after that, we were completely ignored. We waited around 20 minutes without anyone coming to our table--not even to offer water or acknowledge us. During that same time, another family was seated nearby and was taken care of immediately--greeted, drinks served, and checked on right away. After waiting that long, I finally flagged down a waiter. His response was that he wasn't assigned to our table, even though we were seated directly between two tables he was actively serving. That explanation didn't make sense and only added to the frustration. To make matters worse, we were the only Hispanic family in the restaurant, and also the only ones being completely ignored. I don't want to assume intent, but the difference in how we were treated was hard to ignore and left us feeling uncomfortable and unwelcome. Eventually, a manager came over and apologized, but by that point the experience was already ruined. My wife, my 5-year-old son, and I had been sitting there hungry and overlooked for far too long, so we decided to leave. At best, this was extremely poor service and lack of basic coordination. At worst, it raises serious concerns about how customers are treated. Either way, we won't be returning. read more

Visiting family and on vacation from Las Cruces, New Mexico. We stopped by for a bite and were pleasantly surprised by our delicious food.

Our waiter was very polite and attentive. Highly recommend if you're in town. Great job guys! read more

I was excited to try Salt Shack, they were pretty busy but only waited about 20mins for a table inside. It's indoor/outdoor, so there are flies but it wasn't much of a bother when we sat after 5mins. I went with the catch of the day which was Wahoo or Snapper, I chose pan seared snapper, it was okay though. Could've definitely used a lot more seasoning. The rice and peas were good, they had some sort of coconut cream sauce. I sampled my tables app of fried oysters (no picture, sorry) - the batter is flavorful but the oysters are very small. Someone at the table also had the lobster bisque soup & gave it a 10/10. I would go again to try some other dishes. read more

When we arrived hungry and asking for a table for two, we were told ten minutes and sat for fifteen. Once we got seated the waitress took a while to even ask for what we wanted. The interior was also way too loud and there were people smoking inside the place. Once we placed our order of a shrimp basket and a grouper sandwich, we waited for a little and finally they brought out just the shrimp basket. I ate my shrimp basket and 25 minutes later I was done and ready to go. However the person I went with still hadn't received their meal and the waitress kept bringing refills with no explanation and acting like nothing was wrong. So we asked for the manager and after five minutes she finally saw us and gave us the grouper sandwich, and after asking us what she can do to make it right she gave us her employees discount which saved $10 for us. Which may seem like a lot until you realize this meal was still overpriced at $50 for both of us. And the food was just standard. Not exceptional, not awful, just standard. Would not recommend for most, I'd say go somewhere else and get something better and cheaper. read more
