    We came here the first night we were in town. The service was great! Everyone was super friendly. Super cute place! Huge outdoor seating area with a little bar, and a decent sized restaurant inside as well. Loved seeing all of the photos on the walls. My husband and i ordered the seafood boil and it was delicious. Some of the crawdads seemed to be a bit dirty/gunky or weren't cleaned very well, but over all it was a 5/5! Can't get seafood like this back in AZ and the price was great!

    Amazing Low Country Boil - Order This!!

    Went back twice so far since their reopening. The remodel is awesome. Looking forward to going on a weekend when there's music. The food is maybe even better than before. Have tried the shrimp poboy, grilled grouper sandwich, chicken Parmesan (my mother ordered this- delicious and huge portion), fish and chips and fried calimari with yum yum sauce. Everything fresh and delicious. Plenty of staff so service was good. We will be regulars!

    Great food great drinks but me and my parents noticed they raised prices since the burn down.. don't go if you don't have the buck! But if you going with the in-laws and they're paying? must go

    See all

    Excellent selection and prices! Shrimp dip was amazing but I added some chipotle powder to it to kick it up a notch.

    I understand they are closed currently due to a kitchen fire. Does anyone know when they will reopen?

    There has been a restaurant at this location since before I was born. I think the original was…read morebuilt in the '40s. I was told that the restaurant was built over the water so it could take advantage of Franklin County being wet and sell alcohol. Stand in the parking lot in Wakulla County and you better not have any booze on you. Walk into the restaurant out over the water and you could quench your thirst. Is it any wonder that it was a popular drive even from Tallahassee to dine. It's still a wonderful drive for delicious food on the water. Angelo's website tells me it was George's Grill and Bar at the start. It was Faiver's Restaurant when I came here right into the '70s at least. It became Angelo's in 1985 after extensive renovations. All of these versions have been owned by the same family. In 2005 Hurricane Denis damaged the old building. I remember seeing pictures of the missing floor throughout the restaurant. The damage was bad enough that the building had to be torn down. Amazingly, the family was able to rebuild while meeting new building codes for coastal buildings. It's much higher off the water now on a solid concrete foundation. It does mean it's a bit of a climb to the doors but there's an elevator for those of us that find that challenging. Once you get up there you will be rewarded with indoor and outdoor waterfront seating on Ochlockonee Bay. It's one of very few waterfront dining options available near Tallahassee these days. We have dined there a couple of times recently and it's always good food and good service. This last visit I discovered an off menu option for Costa Rican Amberjack. The waitress did me a tremendous favor when she mentioned it when I asked about the Charbroiled Amberjack that is on the menu. Besides the absolutely amazing presentation for the dish (check out my photo), it is equally delicious. One of a few destination dishes that so impressed me that I would drive specifically to get them. Like the Chipotle Pork Chops at Habana Boardwalk, the Spaghetti Bolognese at Mimmo's in Destin, the Ribs at Charlie Verdugo's Rendevous in Memphis and the Firecracker Pork Fusilli at Fuzio Universal Bistro in Modesto. The fish was perfectly grilled and the sauces and rice and black beans were a tasty addition. The wife enjoyed the Popcorn Shrimp appetizer and I gave her my cheese grits side. The shrimp are good sized popcorn shrimp and they are lightly floured rather than buried in batter. We have tried most of their fried seafood options and all were good. I would even recommend the Buffalo Backs appetizer using grouper and snapper backbones although I had it when it was an entree special. You will not find a better dining option on the water in our area.

    The view is great, especially for sunsets. My food was tasty and the service from Meme was…read morespectacular.
