The Write-Up

The full story

An Old Florida fish camp on Lake Jesup, where the menu leans all the way into the setting: Florida style gator bites, fried gator tail, catfish nuggets and a gator burger. Airboats run off the dock, a lakeside bar pours, and guests call it a real Florida experience. Regulars say the kitchen can be uneven these days, so come for the lake, the gators and the theater of the place first.

What People Are Saying

The word from guests

Real words from people who have been, gathered from public reviews.

“This place was so much fun and the food was great! Our server Courtney was so attentive and sweet we couldn’t have asked for a better experience.”
Diana Rochester, via Google
“The wings were great and meaty, Jaelyn advised medium over hot for the flavor which was excellent.”
Spiggle, via Yelp
“I have to go here everytime im in the Orlando area! What a Florida experience!”
Lori Peterson, via Google

Our honest take

Regulars are honest that the kitchen is not as consistent as it was: recent reviews describe food and service slipping from the standard that built this place. The setting has not slipped at all. Go for Lake Jesup, the gators, and the Old Florida theater of it, and keep dinner expectations easy.
