Just ok, more hype and location than the meal and drinks that are served. The atmosphere is great and if that's what you're looking for it is all it is read more

A group of neighborhood friends went to Puddle Jumpers (for the 2nd time) Everything went VERY WELL... They were very busy as there was a antique boat and car show within the area which caused a little congestion. Our rating : * GREAT VIEW (suggest the 2nd floor if you have a larger group gathering) Food - excellent Server - Alexis was wonderful Just a great overall pleasant place to eat !!! read more

Food is always awesome and the drinks are poured perfectly. The service is outstanding they take pride in service.

Great location. Fun to watch the planes come in. Service was very good. Sit outside and enjoy the view.

Ok food - nothing spectacular. Waited 20 minutes for drink refills and our food was incorrect. Not going back.

I really liked this place. I had the Steakhouse burger and fries and my wife had the fish and chips. My wife ate all of her food which is a major sign of how good it was. I did too which is not unusual but I also enjoyed immensely. It was truly a steak burger - very good quality meat and cooked perfectly. It was a $12.00 burger but I didn't mind paying a little more when I found out how good it was. The fries were seasoned to perfection. I would definitely come back. You can sit outside but I enjoyed the AC inside and the view of the lake and seaplanes. The waiter was very friendly and efficient and we were served quickly. 2nd time - my wife and I ate outside. Great service, tables well spaced and great food. And we were under a large tent which blocked the harsh sunlight but allowed lots of breeze and a great view of the lake. read more

This interesting place has pretty good food, good service and a great environment. I really liked the fish and chips and would recommend them for a try. I think what makes this place unique is the planes taking off and landing on the water. Gives kind of an interesting thing to check out while your eating. Overall I would say it's fairly priced and good service. Good job guys ! read more

Busy place so waited 30 minutes to be seated, but the meals (coconut shrimp order and hamburger order) were both very good. If you sit outside don't sit by the very noisy bar! The outstanding feature of this restaurant was the wait staff. Excellent, very busy wait staff and a special shout out to Brandi who kept a great attitude while flying around taking care of everything! Nice view on the water. read more

We had a wonderful lunch here. The weather was dreary but our service and food was awesome! Sandra was a top notch server. One of the best we have had in Florida. She was cheerful and attentive! My husband and I both had tacos. They were delicious. He ordered the mahi ones but got 1 mahi and 1 shrimp which was an option. She then brought him another mahi. We will definitely be back and totally recommend Puddle Jumpers! read more

Great view of lake. Very friendly waitstaff. My favorite is Mahi Bites.... They are spectacular. Worth the 45 minute drive. Had a party of six all meals were excellent. read more

Really enjoyed ourselves. The staff was very friendly and the food was great. Although, I do not recommend the cheesecake, very poor quality frozen item that begins to ooze and melt. We were there during a boat race in the lake nearby. The staff was really great with our dog. Our only complaint is that when busy, local uptight snobs feel it's ok to push their way through, bypassing the host stand and snagging tables outside where they like. This prolonging the other guest's time. During very busy operations like the time we visited, we could see how difficult it is for staff to manage these local jerks that bring a bad name to the rest of us. read more

Food was good. Service was slow when I was with a large group (12) on two occasions. Once My granddaughter didn't get what she ordered, and another time they forgot her completely. The setting is wonderful...lakefront outside dining and occasionally you see a plane land on the lake as there is a docking area for planes (thus the name) Lots of palm trees. read more

On lake Harris waterfront indoor outdoor seating . Good food great service, lots on menu to choose from

Food was delicious service was just okay. We never seen our server after she dropped off our drinks. We did have a bother girl who was clearly busy with her own tables stop and check on us and the go get our check. This is why I rated it 4 stars not 5 read more

Puddle Jumpers - Great ambience outside! - New American Near Me - Tavares, Florida

Perfect is the best way to describe our visit. Amy was our server. Great drinks very interesting men. We had Mahi for appointment. Then the Gosh Jam It Burger and Spicy Asian Shrimp Bowl we were not disappointed at all. Great service , location , prices and interesting menu options. Can not wait to go back. read more

My hubby and I had a pretty good experience here. We had pretty good service. We just noticed a lot of tension between the servers and staff. No need for managers to yell at servers. The manager's should do their job too. The restaurant business is a team effort. And servers should have better attitudes if they want better tips. Our server was great though. This tall blonde with a pony tail who is also the bartender I believe. read more

Waited for over the estimated 30 minutes to be seated and wait another length amount of time without even a 5th chair for our party of five or someone getting us a drink order. We had a toddler with us that was very patient but this place has horrible service. The hostesses took forever to even greet us at the door. I've worked in the restaurant service industry. A hello goes a long way. Will not recommend. Will not be back. read more

I'm a local and PJ is one of my favorite. The Mahi is always delicious and their burgers are fantastic.

Good food and great service! All of our dishes we got and tasted great. Nathan was great!

Went to Puddle Jumpers on St. Patrick's Day. I had organized a group of 14 from my Bocce league to get together to celebrate our season and St. Paddy's Day. We had reservations for noon but we we're running late because the water was VERY choppy ( we took a pontoon boat from Leesburg). We called about 45 minutes before our reservation and told Puddle Jumpers we'd be about an hour late. They were very kind on the phone and wished us well and that we'd have seats when we got there. When we arrived it was packed; yet they greyus with a smile and accommodated us immediately. Our waitress, Alexis was very sweet and patient with our large group. The food was excellent (although I was disappointed that there wasn't any corned beef and cabbage). I'd recommend Puddle Jumpers; ask for the chili and the fish tacos! Thank You to the manager and Alexis dog s wonderful time. read more

We stopped in for a appetizer and drink, tried the deep fried mozzarella, Absolutely delicious! Bloody mary was great too. Service was good! Probably will return soon read more

The food is good and the service is great! Right by the water. Beautiful view! I had the fish and chips with the kettle chips. Wow! Tasty! Our server was Lindsey and she was awesome! read more

Fantasy views over the lake and so much fun to watch the sea planes landing, good food and great service.

First time at Puddle Jumpers and was extremely disappointed. Our host didn't listen to what she asked me. She never greeted us either. I said four people and we would like to be seated inside. She grab 3 menus and tried to seat us outside. Our server is the reason why I gave it a two stars. Because I could see she genuinely cared. The kitchen on the other hand is horrible. I asked for no cheese on my sliders and when it came out it had cheese. Instead of making me some new sliders they scraped the cheese off the sliders turned it upside down and had the runner bring it back to me. By the way do not drink their water it taste horrible. We will not be back. read more

My husband, bff, and I came here last weekend. We ordered burgers and cinnamon pretzels. The cinnamon pretzels I was skeptic of at first just because I'm not the sort of person that loves savory and sweet at once but they were pretty good. I got the burger with queso on it and it was so good. We'll be back again to try more of the menu. read more

We come here almost every Tuesday after 5pm for dinner - they have a 99 cent BURGER night - it comes with lettuce tomato onion pickle and a bun for 99 cents! You can add cheese or other toppings for a small cost. Tonight my burger was cooked wrong BUT the manager came right over to me to apologize and told me it would be out in just a few minutes and it literally came out cooked perfect maybe 1 minute later - the manager was so friendly and professional! My husband had the Mahi mahi tacos on Saturday night and LOVED them! My son always gets the fish and chips kids meal. Also - you MUST try the sweet potato tots! And last - the view on the lake is beautiful! read more

This place is the best. They're great supporters of the community and make great drinks! And the bartender is amazing!

Well guys and girls I'm sorry we didn't fly out sea plane into this place for a late night dinner, but maybe next time we can. I ordered the fish and chips which the cod was very tasty alongside the house chips that was just off the chain. read more

We were just here T this restaurant and a group of unruly children and I say that very loosely and their parents came in drinking and being obnoxious and loud disrupting the whole restaurant when we said something to the management we were asked to leave the establishment allowing this group of wild Indians and their unruly parents to run over the management of the restaurant this is uncalled for I will be messaging the owner of this establishment as soon as I can it's a real shame that parents allow their children to act the way they did tonight everybody who is eating their dinner before they even showed up had a terrible time I think the owner needs to sit down with their staff and talk about what happened and I hope one of the parents reads this message and understand how shameful they allow their children's to act. I would like the owner to contact me as soon as possible read more

Waited 20 minutes just to be seated, everyone completely walked by us! When we were finally seated we ordered our drinks which took another 20 minutes. Then we ordered our food which took another 35 minutes. Overall they took forever when they weren't even crowded and just plain rude. Plus the food was mediocre as best and not worth the price! I will never be going here again!!! Lastly people never wore their masks correctly and completely disregarded those trying to be careful! I wish I could give them zero stars!!!! read more

This was a pleasant unexpected gem. Those Mahi bites were great. I'd definitely eat there again.

We came for dinner but it same like not busy at all. The staffs were friendly, took order quickly as soon as we sat down. The food were ok. I like the local beers and margaritas read more

Totally awesome place. Food is totally great. Service is always perfect. The view of the lake is beautiful. A place you should visit.

I ate here because I didn't have any other choice.... I'm sorry to see business open and running without any concerns about the situation that we are living at the moment ... no mask at all this is a shame read more

I wish I had seen the review about masks before going inside. I should have left after we were seated when I noticed the lack of masks on staff. I am super disappointed and will not return again. read more

Amazing customer service!!! I loved the mahi bites basket and outdoor seating with a view of the lake. read more

Good food, great view. Went with family, great food! Great atmosphere! Service was impeccable!

We love this setting here in Tavares. "Sea Plane City "Love the docking so Chain of Lakes boaters can visit via boat too. The menu is fine with typical restaurant findings. Standard side Salad was excellent! Fresh crisp greens and veggies variety of toppings. Onion ring tower was nicely presented on an wire plane rack. Shrimp my spouse had was -not deveined . Not a fan of that . Overall nice place for lunch. Live music is varied and good . Outdoor seating is shaded. read more
