    Salad of cukes lettuce tomatoes and dill vinaigrette
    Joanne D.

    We came at 4:30 but was let in to get a drink at the bar. The bartender is sweet and knowledgeable. Come 5:00 we were seated come 5:25 we weren't even looked at. We nabbed Abby who was great and was our waitress for the duration. Immediately she brought us bread, drinks, took our order did this while caring for at least 3 other tables. Ambiance is okay. A little noisy in the dining room but comfortable. The food came ! Yay! The prime rib was a special tonight! Lean and beautiful. Saving leftovers for a great stew this week . All in all it wasn't terrible. Just aggravating when your hungry

    The restaurant is really nice and comfy. They have booths and tables and a bar. Their menu includes German cuisine and American dishes. We were sat right away and chose a booth. Abby was a wonderful server! She discussed the salad and soup along with various dishes since this was our first time. We ordered the mushroom crab appetizer which was good. DH ordered the Jager schnitzel in pork and it came with potatoes (he chose German potatoes) and cabbage. I ordered the 16 oz prime rib which came with potatoes. We got the soup and I added the salad. The soup was amazing and the salad which was only tomatoes, cabbage and cucumber. Each one was marinated in different marinades and it was good. The prime rib was tasty and tender. DH was so very happy with all his food!!! The German potatoes were fantastic! We even ordered dessert to take home. He ordered peanut butter pie and I ordered cheesecake. Delicious! We'll definitely be back!!

    Our friend begged us to come here for months, and I'm so glad we finally made it! What a hidden gem to those of us not from DeLand. The salad and potatoes alone are worth it, but everything was excellent!

    Stopped in for a quick bite during lunch. It's an older establishment with a decidedly 'central Florida' feel. Ordered an 'American' dip a.k.a. French dip and a Haddock sandwich. Apparently it was American Monday due to it being President's Day. The haddock was great, as was the coleslaw and sweet potato fries. However the beef on the dip sandwich tasted like the sliced roast beef you'd get from a deli. It was SUPER salty and had that lunchmeat flavor. I choked it down but it was not good. Should've had the burger. The folks there are friendly and the prices are in line with other lunch places. We'll be coming back for dinner soon to try the prime rib and their German offerings. They have Warsteiner beer on tap which I'm excited to try next trip as I don't often see it at bars.

    If you want the best prime rib or German food this is the place to go. Miss Emy is the owner and she will go out of her way to make sure you feel right at home. She checks in throughout your meal to make sure everything is perfect. She is an immigrant from Germany and serves up great food. This is not a fancy place, just good down home cooking. They start you off with two big loves of fresh baked bread which is delicious. Then you get soup or salad. We chose the salad which consisted of shredded cabbage, tomatoes, cucumbers and cheese in a creamy sauce. The salad was very fresh and more like a cucumber salad. The main course was a giant slice of prime rib that was roasted to perfection. It is enough for at least two meals. We all took lots of food home with us. We will be going back as it was so good and we want to try some of the German food.

    All the salads

    This was my first time at Emmy's ! Everything was amazing, steaks perfectly cooked. Potatoes were perfectly seasoned and the slaw is my favorite salad. Came here with the bestie for birthday dinner, we sat at the bar where the bartender was the star of the show, drinks were very generously poured. Everyone was enjoying themselves . He mentioned that they will not be carrying the filet much longer due to the price which is find sad. Meat is expensive. When i go out for a good steak , I expect to pay the prices. The ambiance is old style country diner which I love. It's like going to grandma's house for dinner.

    I have been coming to Emmy's for a few years and it has always been exceptional; both the service and the food. Last night was the first time I went back following Emmy's passing, which saddened everyone who was fortunate enough to know her. I was a little worried about the food quality and service slipping without Emmy, but I have to say, our steaks were exceptional and the service was outstanding. In fact, everything was great; the steaks, the cabbage/cucumber salad, the beef barley soup and the other appetizers. Although I'll miss getting a hug from Emmy when I visit, she would be proud to know that the crew at Emmy's is continuing her legacy of making people happy by warmly welcoming their patrons and continuing to serve the best steaks in the state at reasonable prices.

Nestled…read moreright along the river, this no-frills spot has been serving up Southern comfort since 1954, and let me tell you--it's worth the visit. Now, don't let the rustic, timeworn ambiance fool you. It's all part of the charm! The warm hospitality, wallet-friendly prices, and downright delicious food make this a must-stop for locals and travelers alike. We indulged in a feast of true Florida flavors, starting with crispy Fried Green Tomatoes, perfectly seasoned Gator Bites, tender Frog Legs, and flavorful Conch Fritters. Each bite had us nodding in approval, but the real star of the meal? The Gator Burger--a juicy half-pound blend of gator and pork, topped with lettuce, tomato, and their signature spicy cream sauce. Served with golden Hush Puppies, it was absolute perfection. For seafood lovers, the Fried Ponga (whitefish) was light, flaky, and cooked just right. And just when we thought we couldn't eat another bite, we made room for dessert--the Apple Blossom, a warm, sweet treat that wrapped up the meal beautifully. Shady Oak Restaurant truly captures the heart of Florida dining--simple, delicious, and served with a smile. Their slogan says, "What happens at the river, stays at the river," but I'll be telling everyone about this place! Open seven days a week, so no excuses--go treat yourself!

At dinner time the restaurant had a great moody vibe. Hospitality was top notch. We had a reservation and were sat right away at a table near the kitchen.

He was the kindest guy and constantly made sure we had everything we needed. He made our night with his fun energy. The food was phenomenal. The restaurant provides elevated boiled peanuts on the table to snack. The flavor was great. I ordered the jumbo lump crab cakes that comes with 2 decent size crab cakes packed with crab meat. As sides, I ordered the caesar brussels and potatoes. The sides were great and the potatoes were a combination of different potatoes which I liked. My mom had the chicken and dumplings and she had rave reviews to give. This is a great spot for a date night, a place to make a dinner feel more elevated, or to celebrate something.

The ambiance was inviting, stylish, and felt like the perfect setting for a weekend experience with friends. The food overall was good. The shrimp and grits were definitely the highlight for me full of flavor and well done. The steak, however, wasn't my favorite and didn't quite hit the mark. The fruit bowl was exactly that fruit in a bowl nothing special but fresh. The banana pudding was delicious and a sweet way to end the meal. The service was a bit inconsistent, which I believe was due to the waitress being very busy. There were a few moments where we waited longer than expected for menus, straws, or even water. While noticeable, it didn't completely take away from the experience and felt more like a staffing issue than a lack of care. Overall, I would absolutely return for brunch with friends.

For appetizers, we tried the coconut shrimp, Table tots, spinach dip, and charcuterie. Everything was fantastic except the shrimp, which were a bit overcooked. The rest of the starters were flavorful and well prepared. Most of our group ordered the NY strip since they were out of the filet, while others chose the meatloaf, mushroom pasta, and a few other dishes. Portions were generous and the food was tasty. While the strip wasn't the best I've had, it was cooked perfectly. Dessert was a bit hit or miss. We tried all the pies -- most were decent and nicely presented, though nothing stood out. The salted caramel cheesecake had a grainy texture rather than being smooth. Service was friendly, but a little rushed. Courses came out too quickly, making it hard to enjoy each one before the next arrived. The table became crowded with plates, and the pace felt chaotic at times. The server was kind and seemed possibly overwhelmed. Overall, a good meal with solid food, but pacing and a few execution details could use some attention.
