I had the salad bar, when do you ever see a salad bar anymore?? The chicken salad was so good and the items were all fresh and full of color. The eggs over easy were cooked just right, the hash was filling and the cheese grits were comforting. I wish we had a farm house near our residence because I would be there every weekend! This is an wonderful southern American establishment and I hope it never changes and stays open forever!

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 made our way to the front counter and got on the list. Figured we would be in for a long wait, but our total time from putting our name on the list to being seated was under 10 minutes. It was a buffet style restaurant so the waitress got our drink order and invited us to help ourself to the buffet. The food was overall very good for everything I tried. They had 5 buffet bars set up 1 salad bar, one meats/mains, 1 veggie, 1 split veggie & warm desserts and a cold desert bar. The standout foods I tried were the fried chicken, fried catfish, and fried shrimp. I tried the catfish without many expectations since it was a buffet and not a huge catfish fan, it was one of the cleanest tasting catfish I have ever put in my mouth. The fried chicken was delicious as well. We weee totally impressed with the building, speed of service and the great food. My wife who hates most buffets even looked at me and said she would come back to this buffet anytime.

The Dixie Grill is located in the historic downtown area of Live Oak, Florida. We arrived at 1:15…read morep.m. on a Sunday. I believe they close at 2 p.m. We found parking, but the restaurant was full and was on a 10 minute wait for a table. I suppose that's the mark of a good, well-loved restaurant...that people are waiting to stand in line for a table! The wait was brief. On Sundays The Dixie Grill appears to host quite an after church crowd. This was our second such visit in the past 6 months. On our previous visit, my dining companion ordered The Fletch, which is NOT on the menu. A previous Yelper had reviewed the restaurant and mentioned it. My dining companion was intrigued and had to try it. You have to ask for it. It's a mac and cheese waffle, topped with a fried chicken breast, topped with flash-fried spinach and served with brown butter strawberry buffalo sauce. The plate presentation is eye catching with all the colorful components! It sounds weird, but for my dining companion who seeks out chicken and waffle entrees, this was enough to entice him. It was interesting, tasty and filling, but when a server passed by with a plate of fried chicken destined for another table, he looked longingly as that plate passed his gaze. We knew he would be ordering the fried chicken plate on this trip. We were seated and our server promptly greeted us and took our order. We had reviewed the menu in advance and knew what we were ordering. The fried chicken platter is $12.00 (white) and comes with two sides. In this case, my companion chose green beans and mashed potatoes. The plate also came with a roll or bread item of choice. The meal is filling and there was enough to take home half for lunch the next day. I ordered the chicken tender dinner for $13.00, which also came with two sides and a bread item. I chose mac and cheese and cole slaw. The mac and cheese was good. I don't care for the overly creamy cheese that loses the cheese flavor. This mac and cheese appeared to be the baked casserole type and I liked it! There were four chicken tenders served with honey mustard on the side. Both the fried chicken and chicken tenders are prepared with a batter that stays ON the chicken pieces when fried. Whatever it is, it's totally delicious. The green beans were steamed and served with pieces of diced bacon. Again, wonderful. My companion ordered a roll, which was soft and served with butter on the side. I ordered the hush puppies, served as a duo and fried, but still soft on the inside. If you haven't overeaten, I recommend you save room for dessert. The coconut cream pie is delightful and ample enough for two to share. The menu options are decidedly southern and a hearty meal for anyone with an appetite. The service staff are friendly, cordial and accommodating. We do like visiting Live Oak on Sundays and many of their local restaurants are closed on Sundays. The Dixie Grill is open on Sundays and this is a fantastic option for a breakfast, brunch or lunch!

The staff will learn your name very quickly and often already be prepared to put your order in with the kitchen. I probably eat here five times a week, and it's not because the food is exceptional, or as I've already mentioned it is as basic as it comes. But the people there are just plain fabulous, and they will give a free grilled cheese sandwich to anyone who is hungry, even more than one. They even put up with me and my perfectionistic attitudes about martinis. And that has to count for something right?

We were passing through the area, on the hunt for breakfast, and were warmly greeted by the staff and patrons. It was a Tuesday around 11am and the place wasn't busy so we sat right down and were served immediately. Cute country vibes all around! My husband got the scramble with sausage and grits and ate as much as his elastic belt would allow. I got the Big Grumpy Breakfast with toast and bacon and it was all cooked perfectly. My husband went to the bathroom and left me alone /unsupervised when there was pie & cheesecake available at the register - Silly man. I got a slice of cheesecake and it did not disappoint. It was perfectly chilled, not overly sweet and had a great consistency. The only thing I'm grumpy about after leaving this place is the fact that we don't live closer. Eat here, leave happy!

To our surprise, the non-assuming quiche plate my partner got, and the burger bowl I got, were both delish!! The quiche was simple, but cooked to perfection. It comes with a bowl of side salad with a delicious maple balsamic dressing, a blueberry muffin, and a slice of tomato and lettuce on the plate. The quiche has a nice, homemade crust that's surprising light and just pure goodness. The burger bowl was a deconstructed burger without the bun. I got it with grilled chicken, and it was, of course, cooked to perfection. Juicy and flavorful, which is hard to achieve for most places. The salad was fresh, and the homemade Grumpy's sauce was delicious as well. The waitress was sweet. Service was on point. Price is good. Place is nicely decorated and clean. Both this place and the town of Madison has exceeded our expectations. We will for sure come back when we're around next year.
