You get an enormous piece of haddock and lots of fries. No mushy peas for those from the UK. My girlfriend got the blackend redfish which came with cole slaw and a crab cake. I ended up getting the crab cake. You get your choice of sides. Fish and chips excellent. In fact I couldn't finish it because it was so big. The crab cake was a bit on the salty side. My girlfriend's redfish was also a bit salty. The slaw was excellent. I will say in fairness that the redfish and crab cake wasn't salty the next day and tasted fine. I'd try it again if I were in Cedar Key and you should too.

Had a choice of eating in the bar , the dining room or outside. We chose the dining room and glad we did. Overall all our service was very good. The server was friendly ( and very busy handling a lot of tables). I had an 8oz filet which was very good. I ordered it medium ( light pink center) and it cane out true Pittsburgh rare ( charred outside but rare inside- see pics) I was actually ok with it .... I order medium for my wife to have a couple bites even though I prefer more med rare. So this was def rare inside but I loved it ( I cut her a small end piece that was cooked a little more ) The steak comes with a salad, a vegetable and potato ( a lot of restaurants everything is alacarte - so for $40 for a prime 8oz filet with those sides included .... Not bad. Wife had shrimp and grit cake which is a large appetizer ( she had as her meal). Also had stuffed mushrooms to start that were very good. I think the town of Cedar Key will prob be one and done for us. Wanted to see it , it's quaint , old Florida ... but prob wouldn't come back. ( but only because we just wanted to check it off of a long list of Florida towns to visit) Pro tip: they don't take American Express , odd for a linen table cloth type of place .... So , it's ok to leave home without it

The fries were outstanding. Our Server was very attentive making sure everything was our satisfaction. She also informed us of upcoming event events, and we're sure to return.

I don't know about all of that, having lived on the water in the Keys and St. Augustine, was pretty windy for bugs ...but whatever. The rest of our experience was unremarkable in a good way; I guess. Fish dips, okay. Low country boil was okay. Chicken sammy comes with melty cheese which isn't on the menu and the one of us who actually ordered it is terribly lactose intolerant; so, at least she liked the fries. Overall, okay.

We made the trip from Dunnellon to Treasure Camp on Wednesday 3-25-2026. The building is not a lot…read moreto look at, but the food more than makes up for it. As you sit in the Restaurant or in the outdoor seating area, you have a great view of the beautiful historic Suwannee River. The Service is quite good and friendly. I had a cup of the Crab Bisque before my meal arrived. The owner makes it fresh daily. The waitress said they often run out of it. I ordered the Palm Salad , unfortunately it was already gone. For my Neal I had the Fried Grouper with Fried Okra and a Sweet Potato. The food was served nice and hot , cooked to perfection and was delicious. My wife had the Fried Grouper Sandwich. With Cole Slaw. She enjoyed it very much. . On their Website they guarantee that you will not leave hungry. That was true. We had enough leftover food to bring home enough for another meal. For Desert we decided to share the Brownie Sunday. In many restaurants desserts are served up in skimpy portions, not at Treasure Camp. The portion was so large that we both ate plenty of it and brought home enough to finish off another meal. If you enjoy a rich decadent gooey brownie with a generous portion of vanilla bean ice cream, this will be the dessert for you. They also had Key Lime Pie, sizzling Apple Pie and Vanilla Bean Ice Cream. Treasure Camp Restaurant is well off the beaten path, but the food makes the drive worthwhile. If you have a boat you can also arrive that way. There are some cabins, but we did not look at them . A boat ramp is adjacent to the Restaurant and Store. After your meal you can stroll along their dock. This Restaurant has a Chiefland address, but is well outside the town. We drive from Dunnellon about an hour away, we were told that they have frequent diners who come from Crystal River and Homosassa Springs which is even further. Most people would not make this trip unless the food made it all worthwhile. We would definitely make the drive back here again!

We started with Boudin Balls which are my favorite but no one else had had before but all enjoyed. My wife had the bourbon chicken sandwich that she felt was meh/10 but she loved the jambalaya side and wished she'd gotten a whole dinner of that. I had the shrimp po boy. Wanted the traditional dressed version so swapped mayo for the mustard. Shrimp was excellently fried. Agree with my wife the jambalaya was great but the red beans were not very tender and when I asked for sugar for the beans (it's a real thing) they brought out three varieties of fake sugar and no real ones. Think we got pecan pie and bread pudding for dessert and both were good. Would definitely come back.

Cindy our server greeted us immediately after being seated, we were seated in the back of the restaurant which allowed me to look at what the locals were eating, yeah almost every table had oysters either raw on the shell or chargrilled which were all sized large. There are lots of options here no matter your preference We both got crispy fried catfish and I added fried shrimp I opted for a side I've never seen on any menu anywhere "Swamp Cabbage" (sautéed heart of palm with bacon) I covered it with a healthy dose of Trappy's Pepper Vinegar, it's definitely an acquired taste I'm sure but delicious, we also ordered fries which came with a generous portion of thumb size hushpuppies served with guava jam. We also ordered an order of Lacy's Rockin Oysters for an appetizer, they arrived about half way through our dinner service but well worth the wait for sure, a few dozens of these would make a wonder meal by itself - everything was delicious and the prices are a very good value - a shout out again to our server Cindy she was exceptional. If you're in the area and want some fresh seafood and the freshest oysters this is definitely the place to come. The area is still recovering from the last hurricane which devastated the area but it seems all is well here...

It was extremely hot the waitresses shirts were obviously sweated through. I don't blame them just management and I know that it's a small island not many choices to go eat.

There wasn't a hostess there when we showed up and then three servers took turns to say hold on for the hostess and then had no accountability when they said, 'I don't know where she is..'. Finally somebody said they were full up and tried to scare us with a 30 - 45 min wait when there were obvious tables open. We tried to understand what was going on and asked the next up server if they just didn't have the servers which made them a little friendlier. Then all of sudden a huge group left so the next server had no choice to seat us. Meanwhile, several other customers showed up behind us which put more pressure on the service. The next up server left to go clean an available outside table, and then 10 seconds later another server came up and tried to steer us away again saying no seats are open. We told this new server the next server got us to straighten out their lack of communication, and they readmitted they didn't know where the hostess was. We ended getting seated and waited another 15 to have our drink order put in. She seemed busy so we ended up putting in everything in at the same time. I had the clams and a pretzel, my wife had the shrimp rice bowl. Everything did come out fresh and super salty and not very good. Drinks were strong and mid, I won't go there again.

In fact, we haven't stopped talking about them since. We wished we would have got a quart of each to take home!!! The red clam chowder has potatoes/onions very hearty with their fresh local clams it's just fabulous. The crab bisque is cream based & has tons of fresh crab in it. Both of them are just divine. like i said we still are talking about these two soups. We can't wait to return for the quarts to go!!! Very cool dockside dining under the stars. Highly recommend.

We were definitely interested in some good, local seafood, and they delivered. We chose 2 orders of the small seafood bisque ($6) and 2 orders of the steamed clams ($9.59/dozen). My girlfriend tried one of the local blond beers ($6 - forgot the name). The seafood bisque was crab, shrimp and lobster in a creamy base. It was DELICIOUS! A little bit on the small size even for a small portion though. The steamed clams were in wine, butter, garlic and parsley served with garlic bread. They were TENDER and TASTY! The garlic bread was great for soaking up the clam broth. Service was friendly and efficient. Bathrooms were clean and odorless. PAY CASH and avoid the non-Cash fee ($1.42 in my case, just noticed that on the CC receipt!) Total was $42.13 before tip.
