    This is my fried shrimp plate. It was so delicious!
    Pat S.

    We had lunch here yesterday. The place was busy but we were greeted and seated right away. The restaurant wasn't big but had plenty of tables and a few booths. They also had a counter with 5 or 6 stools. The staff was friendly and efficient. Our food came out quickly and was piping hot. I had 9 fried shrimp with cheese grits and a salad. The salad was crisp and cold, the cheese grits were creamy and cheesy and the shrimp were huge, golden and fried perfectly. My husband had the fried shrimp po boy with onion rings. He said that his sandwich was delicious, with the huge, golden brown shrimp, tartar sauce, lettuce and tomato. The onion rings tasted homemade and were also delicious. We highly recommend Castaways.

    Don't miss it! There isn't a sign.

    Have been three times and have not been disappointed. Food is really good - try and save room for dessert. Coconut cream cake is delicious. Service on a busy day will be a bit slow, but friendly. Price is fair for the amount of food. Atmosphere is quaint and bit old-fashioned, but not dirty. And the food is so good, who cares how they decorate. This is a local joint and it works. Eat here. You won't be sorry.

    BEST RESTAURANT IN BONIFAY! They have THE BEST grouper, flounder, and shrimp! It's so fresh - straight out of the gulf and half the price of any place in PCB! The service is quick and friendly with everything sprinkled with sugar. Everything looks so clean - and the vibe on the inside is old school fishing. Love the old pictures from the years ago.

    Shrimp and grits

    The food is AMAZING! And the service is very good. The only thing i didn't like is how bland the grits were.

    Side salad

    Stayed here in this town and wanted a local spot to eat at. Hidden behind a gas station is this place. Food was very good and prices were great as well. I had 9 fried shrimp salad and baked beans. Great food great spot. I travel all over the south and Florida. This is a go to spot when I am around this area now

    Visiting NW Fl in January. Always looking for great seafood off the beaten path. Is this the place? Most reviews seem to be positive. I love fried shrimp & oysters

    This good place to be near I-10 at middle of nowhere. Please check the opening day. They are not open all week. Some day off

    Had a great time with the family at Bayou Bills last night. Wife and daughter had seafood boils…read morewith crab legs and shrimp and really enjoyed them. I had the crab cakes and shrimp which were also really good. Our server was great and the atmosphere is a throwback to the old Florida restaurants I enjoyed with my grandparents when I was a kid.

    The food is decent, though not somewhere I would consider for a special occasion. We have dined…read morethere several times when visiting town and have generally found it to be an average restaurant. On our most recent visit, after a six-hour drive, we decided to order takeout. When we received the bill, it seemed higher than expected. Upon asking for clarification, we were told there was an 8% "packaging fee," which exceeded the local tax. This charge was not itemized as a packaging fee on the receipt--only listed as "8%"--and there was no explanation provided. Since it had been a long day and our order was already prepared, we chose to proceed with the purchase. What concerned us most was that this fee was neither disclosed on the website nor mentioned when we placed our order. We only became aware of it after questioning the total. Greater transparency would have been appreciated. If such charges were clearly communicated in advance, customers could make informed decisions. While we understand that restaurants operate with tight margins, unexpected fees leave a negative impression and ultimately influenced our decision not to return. We have enjoyed the food in the past, but at this price point, we would likely explore other options that we feel offer better overall value.
