We made the trip from Dunnellon to Treasure Camp on Wednesday 3-25-2026. The building is not a lot…read moreto look at, but the food more than makes up for it. As you sit in the Restaurant or in the outdoor seating area, you have a great view of the beautiful historic Suwannee River. The Service is quite good and friendly. I had a cup of the Crab Bisque before my meal arrived. The owner makes it fresh daily. The waitress said they often run out of it. I ordered the Palm Salad , unfortunately it was already gone. For my Neal I had the Fried Grouper with Fried Okra and a Sweet Potato. The food was served nice and hot , cooked to perfection and was delicious. My wife had the Fried Grouper Sandwich. With Cole Slaw. She enjoyed it very much. . On their Website they guarantee that you will not leave hungry. That was true. We had enough leftover food to bring home enough for another meal. For Desert we decided to share the Brownie Sunday. In many restaurants desserts are served up in skimpy portions, not at Treasure Camp. The portion was so large that we both ate plenty of it and brought home enough to finish off another meal. If you enjoy a rich decadent gooey brownie with a generous portion of vanilla bean ice cream, this will be the dessert for you. They also had Key Lime Pie, sizzling Apple Pie and Vanilla Bean Ice Cream. Treasure Camp Restaurant is well off the beaten path, but the food makes the drive worthwhile. If you have a boat you can also arrive that way. There are some cabins, but we did not look at them . A boat ramp is adjacent to the Restaurant and Store. After your meal you can stroll along their dock. This Restaurant has a Chiefland address, but is well outside the town. We drive from Dunnellon about an hour away, we were told that they have frequent diners who come from Crystal River and Homosassa Springs which is even further. Most people would not make this trip unless the food made it all worthwhile. We would definitely make the drive back here again!

Dawn and I both had the small seafood basket and a split an awesome desert of Tres Leche ! Everything was delicious and great. Price is comparable to today's seafood pricing. We will be back! Everyone there is awesome! Stay for the sunset on the point !!!

I have seen other reviews with negative comments however after reading their review, I can state that this establishment does not offer shrimp scampi, nor does it offer salad with a grilled shrimp. It's truly nice for people to come on and leave reviews about establishments however, leave a negative review for something that is false is not very appealing.

Once for breakfast and once for lunch or dinner. I've never had the seafood night, but it's been recommended multiple times in conversation and here in other reviews.

You know that show bar takeover or restaurant takeover - well.....I thought the cast and film crew…read morewas about to show up anytime. Upon entering, dirty tables everywhere and it was so hard to find a clean table to sit at. Dirty floors, dirty windows, buffet with people hovering over it while standing in line to pay their bill. It's ok to have an older restaurant but they must keep it clean! My husband never uses a straw, but he did today - scared the cup may be dirty...we know some folks that come here so we stayed because we just needed to see if it got better and why they come...it's a hard no! Long wait, extremely salty food, sad presentation of the food appearance. I had images of the kitchen in my head after seeing the front of the house. We've never been to Cross City - assuming it's a fishing town - which is cool but other than that, not much here. The pros - waitress was nice and seemed to like her job. I liked all the patriotic decorations. Well we were really hoping to like this establishment, but not for us, oh well, we came, we tasted, we saw, and now we move on.

The Cypress Inn is a Dixie County Iconic Restaurant. It's at the North edge of Hwy. 19 City Limits…read more Today I had two pork-chops off the Buffet table and a Salad They had a large selection on the buffet, but I try to limit myself to a single protein and salad during lunch. Most of the food is fried, so I try very hard to be moderate with the fried food. The waitresses are always friendly and attentive, and their restaurant is clean as you would expect during lunch hour. This is one of three primary local restaurants and you will learn quickly where the cowboys, hunters, loggers, fishermen and other regulars sit to talk. Everyone is cordial and we all get along well for the most part. The Cypress inn is Dixie and Cross City 100% and I love it here. Some may call it an acquired taste, while I simply call it home.

By chance we were able too slid in before the crowd and was definitely not disappointed. Only got a photo of the fried oysters and I must say they were on point well done. The place was hopping and so was our server who did a fabulous job from the moment we sat down to the time we walked out, super great and there was no wanting of anything from her, no matter how swamped they got. Great service under immense lunch rush. Also had a dozen fresh on the half shell that were absolutely the best I have had in a long time (sorry ate too fast for a photo). Only ding was the potato salad side. Was completely tasteless and probably the absolute worst I have ever seen. Can't wait to come back for the Grouper. A friend had it and was great.

We visited Fiddler's Restaurant on a Monday evening and had a good overall experience. There were…read moreplenty of tables available, which made for a relaxed atmosphere. Our waitress was attentive throughout the meal, and the manager/owner (I'm not sure which) personally came by to check on us. I also noticed him visiting other tables, which was a nice touch and showed good customer service. We originally wanted to sit outside because the view and setting are beautiful, but the Steinhatchee gnats were definitely out that evening. Unfortunately, I forgot our gnat spray -- and around here you know that's almost mandatory! We started with the conch fritters, and those were a hit with both of us. Very flavorful and definitely something I'd order again. I ordered the scallops, which were tasty, although they weren't served very hot and the breading was falling off a bit. My husband had the shrimp dinner and enjoyed his meal as well. The salad bar was fresh and nicely stocked, which we appreciated. Overall, we enjoyed our visit and would return, especially for the atmosphere, friendly service, and conch fritters.

After a long day out on the water fishing, we were starving and stumbled upon Deadman's Bay at the…read moreSteinhatchee Marina -- and what a find it was! We ordered jumbo blue crab claws, bacon cheeseburgers, bone-in wings, and washed it all down with cold beers. To top it off, we finished with a slice of Key Lime pie. Every single dish came out hot, fresh, and cooked to order -- exactly what you want after a full day on the water. But the real highlight of our visit was our waitress Kiley. She was absolutely fantastic -- attentive, friendly, and made sure our drinks were never empty. Great service like hers is hard to find and makes all the difference. If you're in the Steinhatchee area and looking for great food and even better service, don't walk -- run to Deadman's Bay. We'll definitely be back next fishing trip!
