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.

Only 4 years old, this spacious, waterfront eatery is THE place to dine...in Eustis of all places! Open for lunch and dinner with seating barside, tableside, and out by the dock (first and second floor). My simple shrimp basket was delicious - I particularly enjoyed the cocktail sauce and the coleslaw. My fries were nice and hot - just how I like my food. And although my food took a few minutes to come out (there was a 9-top order ahead of mine), my lovely server gave me the head's up as soon as I sat down. I appreciated that - tell me what to expect, especially since this was my first visit. My peach and blood orange mojito hit the absolute spot on this hot Summer Sunday! And when I visited the ladies room I was pleased to find it was SPOTLESS. I'm definitely coming back for the steak tips, fried green beans, fried pickles, and salmon. If you're looking for chill summer vibes digging on good food and tasty drinks in a wonderful setting, then Lake Eustis Waterfront Grille is for you...for me...for all of us.

This location was suggested as they have an enclosed patio to avoid bugs, and it worked out great! The staff were remarkable and even brought an iced water for the dog without even asking! Appreciate that extra touch. What We Ordered: ~ Dockside Scallops (Appetizer): cooked beautifully, and paired with a sauce that complimented the scallops. Loved the citrus for acidity, while having the sweet chili for some spice. I can see this being delicious with rice and a vegetable for an entree, which they also offer. ~ The Big Cheese Burger (sub Cheddar versus American Cheese): Very delicious and a great price point for $15! Definitely left us satisfied as we cut in half to share the scallops as well. ~ Jumper Juice: only $5 all day, every day? Why not try! Though, I'm a vodka fan so this was not my liquor of choice. Still a very refreshing drink that I'm sure many would enjoy. ~ Coke: A classic for a burger, and tasted great on a hot, humid Florida day. Definitely a place I'd return when visiting in the area, and I can see trying the scallop entree or even getting a burger again. Great food, friendly service, and spacious location.

The waitress was terrific but when it came to the food, we both agreed we would not go back. Fish and Chips were ordered and it was mentioned that they tasted Frozen Long John from a box and the 2 fish pieces were small. We paid $1 extra for onion rings which looked good but needed seasoning aka salt. My patty melt was ok and I ordered it with fries which didn't come out with my meal. When the fries came they were fresh which I was happy about that but I needed to salt them for flavor. Went to use the ladies room before leaving and a 1 stall caused a traffic jam on a Saturday afternoon. Can't imagine what it would be like on a busy night. It was busy in there so if you are in the area, try it just don't order fish and chips.

The hostess was very friendly and led us to a booth on the left side of the restaurant where we were greeted immediately by our server Jaiden she dropped off a few menus and a list of cocktails and beers then stepped away for a few minutes allowing us to make our decision. We ordered a few beers and gator taters for a starter - living in Florida one can appreciate really cold beer and this place has really really cold beer. The gator taters arrive after a few minute and we placed our meal choice. For some reason I thought the gator taters were potato skins so I was a little taken back when this bowl of casserole like potatoes arrived but I must admit they were delicious. We ordered fried chicken sliders and a philly cheese steak with crinkle fries. Both entrees were perfectly executed and like the gator taters absolutely delicious so this was much better than the "bar food" I was expecting - the staff here is very friendly and attentive.The restaurant is very spacious and although ghostly quite during our visit I'm sure on game day this place could get busy and loud.

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.

We sat inside but by a window so we had a good view of the lake. We waited about 40 minutes for our lunch. My partner's food was hot but mine was cold.
