    Menu lunch 11-4
    Mechelle C.

    Located off the main road, this place was recommended. We were seated quickly and drinks were brought immediately. Another 15 minutes passed before our order was taken. All the waitresses were friendly and polite. The carpet and interior could be updated, but they were cleaning tables off. As long as it's clean . I ordered the whole catfish with okra and baby limas, unsweetened tea, Came with hush puppies. Music was playing different songs in the dining room and kitchen. It was unnerving. But when the food came-----delicious!!! Limas seasoned perfectly. Okra fried crispy. The best hush puppies in town, made with sour cream. It's sweet as cake. Speaking of cake, we ended with the key lime pie. Graham cracker and butter crust holds together nicely and the pie itself is very smooth and slightly tangy. Yes, we'll be back!

    This was my first visit to Cedar River Seafood. I was recommended by a bus tour group as we stopped in for lunch, so I had not read the Yelp reviews until afterwards. I wanted to collect my own impression based on the food and the service. Since we were a large group, I did not expect to have the service we had, but I was pleased overall. The servers were fast and efficient. Next, the food which is the most important element of Cedar River. The fish was crispy, but not too hard and it was fresh. The portion was plenty and the prices were fair too. I learned that there are at least three Florida locations: Fernandina, Callahan, and this one. I was surprised to see the low ratings, but it really was tasty food here. I would recommend giving it a try for yourself. There were lots of cars in the parking lot, so I am not sure the air of mediocrity hangs over the restaurant. Again, I enjoyed my food and the experience.

    Doesn't look like much but the staff is very friendly and the fried flounder was actually pretty tasty. I would like to see more attempt to clean, table was sticky and I could see dust all around the restaurant. Overall not a bad place to get a fast meal

    Fried to perfection- okra and catfish

    Great value for fresh seafood. A gem to find among the rows of fast food joints.

    I love seafood and this little neighborhood seafood market has it. The store is clean and it…read moredoesn't smell undesirable like stale fish. The store clerk was kind and very pleasant to the customers. Everything looked fresh and the miscellaneous items were stacked nicely as well. There was a lady outside in the parking lot asking patrons for money who eventual came inside and asked the store clerk if she could use the restroom; the store clerk was polite and said yes. I overheard this exchange but I felt it was worth mentioning and three stars at the very least. When I asked if they used butter or margarine on their fantastic looking crab trays and the clerk said margarine. I appreciated her honesty but everyone knows how extremely unhealthy margarine is; margarine is not five star quality. The overall experience and interaction was five stars but the margarine is a negative one for sure and needs to be reconsidered.

    Word of mouth, if it's good, restaurants can thrive from it. And that's what happened in this case…read morewhen an acquaintance mentioned the Blue Water Bay and how good the shrimp dinners are. Our brunch experience definitely confirmed that, with a tasty twist on Cajun cooking. My husband tried the Earlton Hash. A tasty combination of shrimp, andouille sausage, a creamy hollandaise sauce and done wonderful tiny potatoes all topped with a fried egg. This dish made for a memorable brunch. He topped it off with a bottle of beer to connect the two eating periods. I opted for the French Toast. It was tender and moist. It came with very crispy bacon. The dining room is nicely furnished with stained glass sea life. They also showcase artwork for sale. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable. However, the kitchen is a bit slow in service. Side note-the restrooms, while functional, could use work. And for those looking for liquid refreshments there is an attached bar, with seating behind a full wall .

We were a bit disappointed there was nothing in the brisket pan or in the ribs pan until we were about to leave. We were full by that time but would really have liked to try both items. We were there nearly an hour. The service was top notch. Our waitress was very attentive. The restaurant was clean and nicely decorated. We will be back. Back staff needs to be a bit more attentive to the items on the Buffet line.
