    Still five stars! We love this place. Today we stopped in for lunch with our doggy of course so we sat n the beautiful patio. Our server Victoria C was so nice - we enjoyed chatting with her. We started with the steak bites - a meal in itself cooked perfectly med rare. Tom had the Monte Cristo which he loved. I had a half pound of peel and eat shrimp which was a very generous portion. I had my fill and then had eight to take home. I don't know what was in the drawn butter but it was delicious and clung to the shrimp perfectly. More than butter I suspect. Great meal, enhanced by a couple of beers. Tab $70 all-in. Yes we will return.

    Excellent food as always. The food came out fast also. Only issue was that, because they seemed to not be very busy, our server would get distracted doing side work. It happens - he had a great personality and otherwise was a very good server. I never saw a manager and I usually feel it is the manager who needs to keep an eye on the overall operation. I love the view from the restaurant and the relaxed, fun atmosphere.

    Rueben sandwich with fries - a lunch great!

    Once again the food was superb - and service by Mandy was great (prompt and personal) ! The views are great and yes, I need to come for the well known famous sunsets.

    Lake Eustis Waterfront Grille My Sunday Golfers group go to different restaurants every Sunday for lunch after golf. On July 20, we all went to Lake Eustis Waterfront Grille. There were 12 of us and this is the 2nd time we've eaten at this establishment. Both times we were seated in their large room upstairs which overlooked Lake Eustis. A beautiful view. There was also a bar upstairs as well as downstairs and outside in the parking lot. The first time we ate at this establishment, my group though the food was fantastic, service was impeccable, and the overall experience was fantastic. So I decided to give it a try again. I'm the one that normally pick the restaurant. Our server this time was Meagan. Meagan greeted all of us with a smile and was very pleasant. For having to serve our group plus other groups up there, Meagan did not miss a beat. She always checked on us to make sure everyone had a drink and that no one needed anything. She made sure we were happy with our food. No one in my group felt that anything took too long for our orders. Bravo Meagan, because of you, and because of the service you provide, the different food options and the beautiful view of the lake from the restaurant, I will be bringing my group back again. I think I would like to try every dish listed in the menu. Not all at once of course but a great execuse to keep coming back. When I pick a restaurant, service and the food are the two main factors I look at if I'm going to bring my group there. We're all from The Villages and I've selected restaurants as far as Orlando for my group because I also want us to try different ethnic food. I normally go to the restaurant first with my spouse and I observe everything including service, location, ambiance and items in the menu. Normally I've already done my homework using yelp, looking at reviews, checking their website and looking at the menu. I like a menu that has a variety of food options. I want to hear my group say, "there is too much to choose from. I can't decide what pick." That way I know the restaurant has something for everyone. Lake Eustis Waterfront Grille has a variety of food selection and a good cocktail selection. To management, what a wonderful place to go to. The service your servers provide is amazing. This is the third time I have eaten at Lake Eustis Waterfront Grille. I have also been there with my spouse and in-laws. For those that have never eaten at this restaurant, I highly recommend it. You will not regret it. Try the Lavender Lemon Drop Martini or the Crazy Mary.

    Food is fantastic, service is always great, and you can't beat the amazing waterfront view! The tiki bar outside is the best spot. They have Bingo on certain days too which is always fun! Make sure to try a seasonal drink, too!

    Great on-the-water restaurant with a lively crowd, great service, and good food. Special shout-out to the best fried alligator I've eaten in all of central FL.

    Fried shrimp lunch

    one year later. minus a star. food was not served hot. had the shrimp basket. breading on the shrimp was so thin it fell off when picked up to eat. great views and service but it comes down to the food. average at best.

    Monte Cristo with onion rings.

    Hubby and I found this place on the ma-. Its was packed and they have 3 different earring sites. Inside main building, outside on the dock and the tiki bar playing live music on the weekend. They were busy and the waiter was upfront about it and asked us to place the food early if we were on a time crunch. We sat on the patio by the main building you can enjoy the music without it being too loud. Pets were welcome. Very old Florida you can arrive on boat from the st. John river. Food and drinks were good and worth the price.

    Great service. Very friendly young man was our waiter. He suggested items for us and he was right. The fried shrimp baskets were excellent. Sitting next to the water eating and listening to good acoustic rock was perfect.

    Large order of Fried Green Beans, enough to share

    We had a party of 12; service wasn't the fastest, but they had a decent sized crowd on a beautiful sunny day. Our waitress had our party, plus another one of 10 or so and maybe other tables ... so she was quite busy. Food was large portions and priced accordingly. After the large order of Green Beans, I wasn't hungry for my Grouper Sammie, so it came home with me. This was my 3rd time here and Id come back again. ​

    I came here with my mom looking for a restaurant to eat as most diners were closed we found this on the map. The dining area is kept very sanitary and there's a nice ambience. We were greeted when entered and allowed to switch tables. Steven was our server, very friendly, understanding, and quick when it came to his tables. The food however, did not match the same level the atmosphere promised. First off the drinks, my mother ordered a lemonade and found it disgusting. She found it tasted like frozen lemonade the ones you find at stores. Now for the actual food, My mom ordered a strawberry salad with steak bites, hers was fine very pleased however I ordered the penne Alfredo. The menu says PENNE Alfredo. What they did was take the macaroni from the kids Mac and cheese option tossed it in with the chicken and called it a day. It was terrible, by far the worst pasta I've had at any place I've gone to. If you can't afford penne for your establishment abolish it off the menu rather than deceiving your customers. Manager gave a 50% discount for compensation I appreciate the staff entirely for how they treat their customers wish this was better. Extremely disappointed.

    Had a nice first time dining here. Food was pretty good. Temperature was hot. The flavors were pretty decent. Customer service was approachable and always on time with everything. The atmosphere is definitely fun and inviting like to come back and try more fish entrees and especially those swamp fries!

    The food was excellent. Service was really good. The drinks were really weak. A watered down key lime martini is worse than just water.

    Went here with my sister to have lunch to celebrate a five year long battle with cancer that I…read morefinally won! We've been to other restaurants like this and this one was by far the best! 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.

    Hidden gem in Eustis with awesome food and vibes…read more Tiki West Raw Bar & Grill in Eustis, Florida is hands down a hidden gem. It's the kind of place you find once and immediately want to bring friends back because it nails the whole experience--great atmosphere, great service, and food that actually delivers.
