The location has a nice breezy screened in outside dining area. Inside is a small bar and two more dining areas. There is a small stage inside and larger outside on yet another covered dining area. Staff is pleasant. I had a lunch special chicken sandwich. It was on a regular nice bun. The breast was too thick and for the first time I had to cut uo my sandwich. I will not order that again, maybe flattened then grilled more would have been great. The chips were cold and for being they just opened, tasted day old and stahl. Not best food experience this time. Guest said half the lettuce was limp, not fresh either. Great bartender/ Waitress. read more

Great sizzling Ribeye. Great food and great service. Creamy chicken soup is awesome and the bar drinks are good

Abigale is absolutely the best server I have had in a very long time. Sweet, honest and truly all about your experience. The prime rib was great! The crab cakes also were very good. Seemed there has been a gap in alcohol deliveries but we had a good experience nonetheless. Drinks made well, very attentive, food was plenty and tasty. read more

So the food here was amazing. I will say that my Alfredo wasn't the best. But the steak and the bread was wonderful. The Alfredo was on the grainy side. My husband had the burger which he loved. But would have like to see some seasoning on the chips. My daughter got the 8 wing appetizer for her meal with a mix of parmesan and spicy which she devoured. For dessert we got the orange cake and the chocolate. Both were HUGE and so strong I need some milk with those. Overall it was amazing food and they were so nice. The cost those wow keep an eye on that. The service was so much better than the other place. Super nice. And the ambiance was so fun with the license plates and the karaoke. We had a great time and will be back. read more

This was the worst burger I think I've ever had! I asked for it to be cooked mid well, but it came out VERY WELL cooked and dry as can be! While eating the burger, it smelled like the meat was on the verge of going bad and I could only eat half (luckily). You're given the option if chips or paying an extra $3 for fries. I went with the chips which were stale. During the night I had stomach cramps and thought I was going to vomit. This was the first and last time I will eat at this establishment. I'll try Dock 633 right down the road next, can't be any worse. read more

Casual and quaint establishment with very good food at reasonable prices. My grouper sandwich was one of the best I've had. View of the river was peaceful and relaxing. read more

Food was very good! Service was also very good, and although busy for a Friday night, food was delivered quickly

Expensive garbage. Greasy and overcooked. Visited on an early Saturday evening and they were out of baked potatoes, sweet potato fries, and coors lite among other things. Place has that going out of business vibe. Good luck with your dining experience if you choose this place. read more

We went there Friday 1/9/26 the worst food ever it took over 1 hour to get are food and it was a all you can eat fish dinner, there was 4 of us , the fish was real bad mostly breading very little fish read more

Service was good in this lake side bar/grill. We stopped in for lunch with the locals. Coworker had the Ruben special and enjoyed it. I had the "huge" fish sandwich grilled. However, maybe it's the Texan in me or because it wasn't the fried version, but it seemed pretty average to me. There was an outdoor stage so I bet this place is a ton of fun with live music. I just stopped in while in the area for work. read more

What a disappointment! Heard the Prime Rib, crab cakes and loaded potatoes a must! Get there at 6 and guess what! All 3 sold out, no coffee, no Pinot Grigio. Total disappointment and thought about leaving. Stayed...food was good but $14 for a glass of wine? YES, $14 for a glass of MERLOT!!!!Local place, service good, food okay, prices deceptive and no Prime Rib! read more

The service was excellent, prompt, and friendly. The ice tea was delicious. I had a fish basket, which was very good. I wouldn't hesitate to go back when I am in area. Domestic draft happy hour during day. Looks like night specials all you can eat catfish after 4pm daily. But call before to make sure. read more

Mediocre- Patty melt was good but house chips were tough and hard (not fresh). My husband's medium rare burger was well done and tough. His cold slaw was good. Nice view of the lake but food could have been better. Service was ok. Not bad but not great either. read more

Local joint....busy bar... restaurant not so much. Sweet tea was what I had hoped for. Sadly gator bites had no flavor. My wife's french dip had no dip said they were out? So basically a Philly cheese steak without mushrooms and pepper. Pulled Pork Nachos had nice flavor. Service was very good and attentive. read more

Went at dinner time. Sat outside and staff was great to deal with. Got a steak with the chicken tortellini soup. Soup was good. Steak was slightly over cooked. But still tasted good. And the green beans were tasty. Will def go back. read more

Terrible food. Table needed to be wiped down. I had fried mushrooms and fried shrimp. Both were super greasy. The waitress was bland and didn't welcome us to the restaurant. I had to find her behind the bar to get more napkins. My wife had the hamburger with fries for $19.00 and the bun was hard as the table. Stay clear of this place. Bad service and bad food. Also it took forever to get the food once ordered. My wife initially wanted fried wings but was told they were out of wings (on a Friday night?) the place was half full which should have told me to scramble out of there but we were hungry. As a local resident of Lake Placid I'll make sure I'll tell my friends to stay clear if this place. I think it's more of a drinking place than a restaurant. read more

My favorite in the area. Love the vibe, but especially love the seared tuna (meal) and the steak bites (appetizer, add grilled mushrooms and onions if you like). Or ask any of the locals at the bar...as with all the places around these lakes, I wish someone would take better advantage of lake views, but at least here we have a screened in porch that looks over Lake Henry (Lake June is across the street)...service also excellent, always well staffed....heading back there today! read more

If you want the most amazing burgers and steaks look no further than this hometown bar/eatery! Tucked away on Lake June Road they use only fresh beef from Hartzel's Meat Market (a third generation Lake Placid treasure) and about as good as it gets. The service may not be the best sometimes but the smiling faces, ice cold beer and local southern charm more than make up for it! Feel like seafood? Try their amazing Ahi Tuna, Mahi, or shrimp and for a little local flavor, the gator bites are a must! Cooked to perfection, fried up juicy and tender, they never disappoint! Need something easy on the wallet but tasty and satisfying, they have weekday Specials with something for everyone. On the weekend they usually have live entertainment and they pour the drinks strong and have a nice variety of ice cold beer. If you want fancy, and like to walk around with your nose in the air, this is not the place for you, but if you're looking for good BBQ, great food and excellent company, you all come down and see what you've been missing! read more

Ordered the pulled pork $ cheese with overcooked Nachos. Or maybe the oil was so dirty they were just discolored. Taste was very bland. My spouse ordered the Maryland style crab cake. Was not even close to what was expected. Then to top it off they charge a fee to use a credit card. Will not return to this one. read more

We come every yr for over 5 yrs. Last 3 yrs we've only come once (stay across the street). Hamburgers are over cooked and tasteless, salads over dressed, only well liked food was the fish. As ALWAYS poor service with enough staff so that it should be excellent ( would someone train their servers and take their phones away while working?), can't understand how anyone gives them anything over a 3 star. Just read their food inspection report from Oct. -11 violations of basic maintenance and they passed. read more

Service was not great, bottled beer was not real cold. Most of the food was ok, except the Ribeye. They have on the menu Sizzling Ribeye but it came out so spicy I couldn't eat it. The waitress said oh, it's probably the blackened seasoning and she offered to have it recooked without the seasoning, but the time it had already took to get our food, I chose not. Who makes all their steaks blackened without putting that on the menu?!?! Other members of our party had clam strips, hamburger and chicken parmesan and all said it was ok. I don't think we will be back. read more

Favorite crab cakes in county. That's about all I have had there. Always served hot by experienced help. Fun place inside or out

Moved to LP in Dec, been to Jaxsons about 5 times. I have great luck with the food but dang the service is just not great. I have sat inside, outside (both back and front). I have waited for the initial contact with a server, the first drink, to order, to receive food and the check, amounts of time that are not typically, or even acceptable for a small bar/restaurant. I will say I continue to try to go back because the food is solid, so far. My very favorite thing has been the fried mushrooms and the French dip, the wings are good but lacking any good sauce with consistency. This place is 1 mile from my house, I will continue to give them a chance. read more

I want to complement Jaxon's owners, Chef's and Staff in Lake Placid, Fl for their outstanding service and delicious food. My husband and I order take out once a week from Jaxon's and are never disappointed! our usual takeout order is the fried fish basket, steak bites , and a side order baked potato. The Server who bags our take out orders every week takes extra steps by putting the butter, sour cream and the lemon wedges all together in a separate container to prevent the butter from melting all over our food and keeping the sour cream and lemon's cool. Every take out order our food is made with perfection! The fish and French fries have never been greasy, like some of Jaxon's competitors take out fish and fries have been. so much that we couldn't eat the fish due to it saturated in grease.. Yuck! Thank you Jaxon's owners, Chef's and staff members, thank you all! read more

One of the better spots for atmosphere and food. Small outdoor patio with a view of Lake June. Service was great, our server Kelsie was a little ball of energy with a great attitude and very attentive. Draft beers are $1:00 during Happy Hour and food prices are reasonable. My Fried Fish Sandwich was cooked perfectly and was a huge piece of what I believe was pollock. My wife had the Prime Rib special and it was cooked perfectly. It had a rub on the outside with a Garlic Crust which gave it a great flavor. We will certainly be back. And if you go hopefully Kelsie is your server!!! read more

Good service but food was horrible. The worst experience I've had in a restaurant ever!!! The bathrooms smell like dead rats and they clearly try to hide it. The new owners should have never taken over read more

I've tried this locale a few times and have not been very successful dining here. Maybe it's my cologne. The service for whatever reason seems to be slow, and my order never seems to come out right. The food was a little dry and cool, not hot. Depending on the time of day, it can be loud, I think because of the way the rooms are constructed. The pricing was average. A place where locals seem to hang out. read more

Great service even on-a busy night .excellent fish.service was good people are friendly. I like the music.

This place has absolutely no curb appeal because the curb and parking lot are at the back of the restaurant! This makes perfect sense when you discover that the front is a beautiful patio facing a lake! So, when you drive up and say meh, ignore yourself and wander on in. Atmosphere- Some folks say dive bar because it's dark. I would say pub. There is a bar of course and lots of dark wood. There are large doors opening to the patio and the lake, Customer service- Two folks welcomed me as soon as I stepped through he door. I sat at the bar and my bartender was just fine throughout my stay. I had my first drink within seconds. Food- There is a large, one-page menu with everything from fried bar food to seafood and steaks. I went for the 10 OZ Prime Rib @ $16.00. It came with a side salad, sauteed vegetables and my choice of one other side. From a substantial list I went with black beans over yellow rice. My side salad was a delightful surprise. It was "built" rather than just thrown together. Check out my picture. There are not many casual pubs where you find this attention to detail and it was delicious. I noticed on the menu that several items were offered blackened but not prime rib. I inquired if they could do it and was told "absolutely!" I love blackened prime rib, and this was tender and delicious. The reviews here are inconsistent but my experience was four stars. Take my advice and take the chance. Trust me, I know these things! read more

I've been coming here for many years and tonight I felt like a second class citizen. Sat at a table for 15 minutes in a empty room, no waitress came the 2 parties came in and were waited on immediatly, we got up and walked out the door, as I left I let the waitress know how I feel. This sucks and I may or may not come back. read more

Surprising little find in the middle of nowhere! About halfway across Florida. Great fish, burgers, onion rings, key lime pie... great service and nice screened deck overlooking the lake. We'll go back- didn't try the gator:) read more

First place I had the pleasure dining in Lake Placid. This won't be a lengthy review, but I will tell you, I've never had friendlier service. They just make you feel like you're home. I've tried the French Dip and the Cesar Grilled Chicken Wrap, both very good! The fried pickles and alligator are awesome as well! Trust me, this is a great place to dine!!! read more

We love supporting family owned restaurants. We came to Lake Placid to check out the festival and googled a place to eat.Jaxsons came up. So we decided to check it out. Staff was friendly. Location was nice. Service was slow. It's a seat yourself. Ok we can deal with that. We sat and waiting a few minutes. Our server took our drink orders. Came back a few mins later with the drinks. About 10 mins later came back to take our food order. About 30 mins later the appetizer came out. We waited 10 mins for silverware to eat the appetizer. And had to get up to ask a different server for the utensils. Now the appetizer is Cold!! Not a good start.. By now people around us who sat after us had their food. Now it's been a hour and we are still waiting for our food. Finally the food comes out and it's not hot. It is all cold. We got the burger with fries, which was ok.. The shrimp dinner (the green beans were ice cold and tasted weird) my daughter didn't eat them. And the chicken club. Which is not a club sandwich. The Bread was only toasted on 1 side came with no condiment on it (Mayo, mustard, any dressing) The chips that came with it were cold, the chicken was cold and so hard to Chew that my husband forced it down his throat. We honestly don't recommend this place unless you are a local. Prices are a little high too for what you are getting. read more

burger not cooked as I had asked for, water is disgusting ( sewer ?) green beans out of can and mushy

Great burgers, it's a local dive bar. Not impressed with the place but was recommended by locals. Glad I went because the town of Lake Placid is worth the the trip. read more

We were visiting from out of town. We decided to sit in the covered, screen enclosed dining area out back. Nice breeze. Nice view of the lake. Tables and chairs were nice and comfy. Ceiling fans going. Great atmosphere. Not long after we placed our order, the elderly couple also sitting in the outdoor dining area began to smoke cigarettes, and smoked through our entire meal. There is a designating smoking and dining area in front of the restaurant with chairs, sofas, dining tables, TVs, you name it! I asked the server if it was typical for people to also smoke in the outdoor dining room where we were, and she said it's not typical, but it is allowed. Since when is it OK to smoke in a restaurant? I'm a smoker, but I don't smoke where people are eating. You just don't do that any more. The food, drinks, and service were ok. read more
