    Fried shrimp lunch.
    Stacy J.

    This place was recommended by a local. It is what you'd describe as a "hole in the wall". It appears to be an old house, turned into a restaurant. The atmosphere was fine. They had lunch specials, but I selected a fried shrimp lunch platter from their regular menu. It was a large portion, which is a bonus! The shrimp were good, not over cooked. The fries were regular (previously frozeseasoned fries. The cheese grits were majorly lacking. It was as if there was NO salt added, and some of the grits were clumped together/hard, and the cheese was only in random places. The cheese grits are not what I was expecting and not something I would recommend. My dining partner (the local) ordered a blueberry cheesecake, which I assume is home made. It was also very bland/simple. I'm not local, so the opportunity to go back is not likely. But I would give it another try, if I didn't have a choice or was pressured by my local friend. (There are NOT a lot of choices as this is a very rural area).

    Random fried shrimp tails with onion rings.

    I haven't had a meal here in a couple of years. I wanted a side to go with some food I had at home, and I had tried a sample of their chocolate cake one that they call chocolate lasagna. So around 6:30 I decided to stop in to see what I could find. I thought I would try their onion rings and a dessert since the menu says to ask about their dessert selection, and no was hoping for that chocolate cake. The young girl taking my order at the window just answered with "we don't have any desserts" so quietly I had to ask her what she said. I only ordered the rings, and she had me wait in the car and brought it out to me when it was ready. The weather wasn't great so I appreciated her bringing them out and had left her a tip for the effort. The flavor of the onion rings wasn't bad, but they weren't very crispy. The turn off was when I saw disembodied fried shrimp tails in with the rings. I would just caution anyone with a seafood allergy to make sure they are careful with their order. I would probably eat here again. It's conveniently located down the road from me.

    Desserts galore...homemade!

    This restaurant is a local favorite and the food is plentiful, original and tasty! Just look at the dessert case; chocolate lasagna, Orleans chocolate, banana pudding cake, strawberry cake and coconut cake...OMG!

    Killer tuna tacos!
    Mary B.

    A local favorite, this small resteraunt is a hidden gem in Wakulla! My family has been eating here for years and Mrs. Two is an amazing cook! My husband had a steak medium and unfortunately it didn't taste as good as it looked. But it's a seafood resteraunt and I was not disappointed with the tuna tacos. There were 2 and they were huge. They had a spicy sauce that was delicious and a little bite. Their portion size is huge so I would suggest sharing a meal. They are also small compared to their demand. There was a line waiting for seats when we left so get there early in the evening. When it warms up they have more seats outside.

    Mozzarella sticks, freezer bag to yesterday's oil...sums up the rest of the meal.

    The Kast Net catches unsuspecting tourists w import seafood from the W-M freezer section, overcooked in yesterday's oil. We left $92 and most of the four entrees since there was no one over 16 years old to complain to...awful.

    Bacon wrapped scallops, fries, slaw and hush puppies.

    This may have to become my "Go To" lunch or dinner spot while working on the south side of Tallahassee. I had bacon wrapped scallops, fries, hush puppies and slaw. All were amazing. The owner was making various desserts for dinner, and they look simply amazing! Next time you're down this way, try it out.

    Forget all the other roadside seafood restaurants around this area... Kast Net is the one you want to go to if you're here! The atmosphere is casual and home-spun, nothing fancy. The specials menu was extensive but we stuck to the regular menu and ordered the fried shrimp basket and shrimp, grouper and catfish basket. Both came with fries and your choice of cole slaw or cheese grits. We were surprised at the portions when they came out- huge for the money! My husband, whose plate was much larger than mine, ended with a doggy bag! The batter was well seasoned and the fry was crisp and light. The cheese grits had a great flavor and consistency and the cole slaw was on the sweet side - just to my liking! SAVE ROOM FOR DESSERT! Their dessert menu is extensive and seems to rotate daily. We ordered a chocolate lasagna cheesecake and a strawberry tall cake to go - both were homemade and SPECTACULAR! The service was great- our sweet waitress filled us in on specials that people enjoyed and chatted with us about what to do if we wanted fish tacos next time (she said call ahead and then we will probably see it on the specials board- how's that for service!). We highly recommend this restaurant to anyone in the area. Both of our meals with dessert and tip were $40- extremely reasonable! We will be back!

    I, unfortunately, did not care for the food here. That's not saying that they aren't good just not for me.

    Kast net tries but adds tons of rice to dishes. If you are a dessert eater they are good at desserts.Otherwise not worth the money or time.
