Extremely welcoming and felt like a place I could hang out everyday. Food was amazing...shrimp cooked perfectly & loved the light batter.

After a long day out on the water fishing, we were starving and stumbled upon Deadman's Bay at the…read moreSteinhatchee Marina -- and what a find it was! We ordered jumbo blue crab claws, bacon cheeseburgers, bone-in wings, and washed it all down with cold beers. To top it off, we finished with a slice of Key Lime pie. Every single dish came out hot, fresh, and cooked to order -- exactly what you want after a full day on the water. But the real highlight of our visit was our waitress Kiley. She was absolutely fantastic -- attentive, friendly, and made sure our drinks were never empty. Great service like hers is hard to find and makes all the difference. If you're in the Steinhatchee area and looking for great food and even better service, don't walk -- run to Deadman's Bay. We'll definitely be back next fishing trip!

We visited Fiddler's Restaurant on a Monday evening and had a good overall experience. There were…read moreplenty of tables available, which made for a relaxed atmosphere. Our waitress was attentive throughout the meal, and the manager/owner (I'm not sure which) personally came by to check on us. I also noticed him visiting other tables, which was a nice touch and showed good customer service. We originally wanted to sit outside because the view and setting are beautiful, but the Steinhatchee gnats were definitely out that evening. Unfortunately, I forgot our gnat spray -- and around here you know that's almost mandatory! We started with the conch fritters, and those were a hit with both of us. Very flavorful and definitely something I'd order again. I ordered the scallops, which were tasty, although they weren't served very hot and the breading was falling off a bit. My husband had the shrimp dinner and enjoyed his meal as well. The salad bar was fresh and nicely stocked, which we appreciated. Overall, we enjoyed our visit and would return, especially for the atmosphere, friendly service, and conch fritters.

We meet at this place for Mother's Day. We each drove half way there. It was a very bad experience…read more We waited for over an hour for our food and then it was disgusting. The "special steak" for Mother's Day was 1/8 inch and horrible. The expensive filet was way over cooked. My daughter sent hers back and they brought one out that was ice cold in the middle - not edible at all. The grouper was also nasty. My husband paid $170 for nothing. Do not go there unless you just want to drink at the bar. Wish we could get our money back!

There was a nice sea breeze and a pier you could walk out on with a few tables there too. There is a food truck that is always on site that serves some tasty beef tacos with a delicious homemade pico as well as several other food options. Drink service at the bar was very slow as several people (I assume locals) came in after me but were served before me. It's great that everyone knows everyone, but we out of towners would like to support you too. We only ended up getting one drink each because of this.

Its a small building, with a wheelchair ramp. 2 pool tables, a couple of games (bowling and something else), and an electronic jukebox. Small bar area with 6 seats, or so.

It is indeed a little bar in a wee little building that was probably some sort of shop prior to its…read moreuse in this capacity. It's not far from the heart of downtown Live Oak and not far from the railroad tracks, either, of which you become quickly aware when a freight train passes by. Despite the small space, they have a pool table inside, a bar (of course) and that pool table doubles as a buffet table when they have potlucks and the like. There is apparently also an outdoor tiki bar area in the yard behind the building but I didn't go back there. Beer is the preferred spirit it seems and the crowd is about 99% locals, mostly middle-aged but some in their early to mid twenties. The theme therefore is country/biker to an extent but they were playing old hard rocks standards when I was there and then . . . something . . . not sure what it was, but some song I remember from the early 2000s that probably was Linkin Park or a band that copied Linkin Park. So aside from the B-list or C-list early 2000s blast from the past, a very cool and low-key bar in a very handy location in Live Oak.
