Walked in when I was having quick lunch with a friend who was working in the area, I had heard good…read morethings and wanted to try it out, however time was limited. I was sat very quickly, and the place seemed quite popular which was a good sign. Ordered some fried green tomatoes and catfish bites as they were the special of the day. While the fried green tomatoes were very good and crispy, as were my fries, the fish was definitely "questionable". It had a slightly off flavor and smell, I normally would have spoken up, but once again I was in a time crunch. My dining companion really liked his food at least, and the server was fast and attentive. So it wasn't a total loss. Addendum; I did not suffer any "gastrointestinal distress" so while the fish definitely wasn't outright bad, it was probably right on the edge of it.

The colors, chill vibe, cool staff, toms of specials, this is an easy all the time spot to go to. I had trouble choosing what I wanted because everything sounded great and seeing the plates coming out of the kitchen I wanted all of it. Everything fried was good, the shrimp were fresh and the best of everything next to the calamari. The lobster roll was so chock full of lobster. Sometimes you have to look for it among the filling, but here it was flat out lobster, fresh, cooked to perfection, absolutely worth it. The lobster bisque was one of the top I've had. It was super filling, it could be a bit thinner considering it was a little on the thick side. It did have lobster pieces inside, and again, one of my top anywhere. Will give this another go one day!

Our first time here as we live 60 miles away…read more Puddle jumpers has a very nice menu to choose from and in today's case we had the fried mahi finger bites, which were very good. They were tender. They appeared to be fresh and they were not overly breaded. We also had their onion rings which we found to be very delicious as well. You could actually bite into them and not have the onion come pulling out, which was a plus and once again, not heavily breaded, but a good taste to the breading they did use. We also tried their fresh pork rinds, and they were excellent if this is your type of food we've only been to a couple places that actually know how to properly make them and puddle jumpers is one of them. The other place was in North Carolina, which went out of business and then one in South Carolina near Charleston, which was a barbecue joint. Our guest had other items as they come here on a regular basis and I know they all enjoyed their food, but I didn't ask to get information for this posting As for ambience, it was a very nice place. Stand at it set alongside the lake with of course the sea planes out front although we didn't see any land we did see some. All the staff was friendly, and our server was Bianca T who all I can say is she was very good and I stayed on top of our table I honestly can't think of anything negative to say about the place other than the ink pen ran out of ink when it came to signing the bill lol

The food was all freshly cooked and not overdone at all. We each got the Thursday special which has 1 lb snow crab and 1/2 lb headless shrimp. We both added sausage and a lobster tail to our meals and I added 1/2 lb of blue crab to try. (It is a celebration after all!) Everything was Very flavorful and cooked to perfection! Obviously we both had plenty left for another meal (or two!) The people that work here were very nice and our waitress was very attentive and friendly. This was just the perfect meal for our celebration and am hoping to go back again soon!

WARNING: Be cautious when ordering the raw oysters, here. The server had a "I don't give a F…read moreattitude" when I had my first bite of half-dozen raw oysters. The one oyster I started to bite into was the WORST tasting I've had in a long time. It was gritty and tasted like it had died, before it was caught. I asked the server to let the manager or cook know this, as I was concerned for other customers' safety. She gave this look like it was me who was the problem. No manager bothered to come to our table, to ask me about it, either. She also scoffed at my reaction when she said that the Alaskan King Crabs market price went up to $92 / lb - which I thought was way overpriced for a place like Red Crab. So, I got the snow crab legs, which were excellent, as well as the boiled potatoes. The generous amount of butter had an off-putting flavor, but still went well with the crab legs. The corn on the cob sucked, as it was soggy, from clearly being kept in a warming oven or pot for too long. The cheesecake was small, but really good, although I did have to ask about desserts when the server was ready to give us the check. She was also slow in bringing out the dessert and updating our check, but nicer towards the end of the dinner. This is about the 5th time I've been to Red Crab - and just this location. They need to work on food quality consistency, better training on the servers, and take seriously when a customer nicely complains about raw oysters, that don't taste fresh and clean.

We parked on a side street and walked into the downtown area, passing Tony's Chowder House along the way. It immediately sounded like the perfect place to warm up before exploring the festival. We checked in for a table and were told the wait would only be a couple of minutes. While we were waiting, one of the servers--who ended up being our server, Bill--offered us a sample of their famous clam chowder. It was hot, peppery, and absolutely delicious. That sample alone confirmed we'd made the right choice. Because of the festival, the menu was limited, but I ordered a bowl of the clam chowder and a grilled shrimp skewer. The chowder was easily one of the best I've ever had, comparable to an incredible bowl I once had at Pike Place Market in Seattle. The shrimp skewer was also very flavorful and perfectly cooked. Bill was friendly and attentive throughout our visit, which made an already great experience even better. I'll definitely be stopping back at Tony's Chowder House the next time I'm in Mount Dora and experiencing their full menu.
