    I am not a seafood fan, so coming to a place like this, which specializes in seafood, could have been challenging for me. Our server was friendly and helpful. Monday's are margarita day so that was my drink of choice. The menu has lots of seafood, but also other items. I settled on the chicken Parmesan pasta. Food arrived timely and it was nice and hot. Italian is my go to food and I'm not picky about sauce, but this sauce was not for me. Not sure what the spice was, but I didn't care for it. It wasn't as bad on the pasta but the chicken was overloaded with it. Not my favorite meal and not my last either. I like the atmosphere and would choose something else next time.

    Pretty good place for seafood. First night I got blackened shrimp tacos - those were pretty good and light. Second night I got seafood pasta. Both were 3-4 star dishes. The staff was super helpful - the restaurant is in a very small town, so I think the staff knew my hosts by name. The restaurant was packed - it looks like it always is.

    Combo Meal with fried grouper

    Disappointed for a few reasons. First, the portion of the combo plate (blackened grouper) was small and not filling. Not sure if they recognized us as out of towners and skimmed our meal. Second, their initial bill overcharged us by over $30. Upon our review, we spotted it and called the waitress over. Her reaction was a little strange.... she did not act surprised.... instead she immediately said she knew what happened. Just an odd experience which made us feel like they were hoping we wouldn't notice the upcharge. They removed the extra charges. Clams were pretty good. Blackened grouper decent (but very small portion for the price in our opinion). Mediocre experience, doubtful we would return.

    We were visiting Cedar Key and we're looking a nice place for dinner. I had never been to Cedar Key before and I loved that you can basically walk anywhere! We stumbled upon Steamers, and decided to give it a try. We have our 80lb pitbull with us, so we needed somewhere with outdoor seating. Upon sitting, the waitress immediately showed up with a pitcher of ice water for the dog! Huge props in my book. In fact, all the servers stopped by to say hello to him, even bringing milk bones. We decided to start with a crab cake, and my husband had a blackened mahi sandwich and fries, and I had the clam bowl. (25 steamers in an amazing broth. The crab cake was large and prepared and cooked perfectly. It was served with a flavorful remoulade sauce. My clam bowl was served with two hot yeasty rolls. The broth was so good I may have eaten a few spoonfuls as a soup. And the clams were perfect. My husband loved his sandwich. He was it was perfectly seasoned, and was very tasty. The dog, of course, enjoyed it all! We would definitely come back to this restaurant. Check it out if you are in the area!

    Spent a night on Cedar Key and had many locals recommend Steamers. Are on the porch with heaters to help out a chilly night. Cynthia was pleasant and helpful throughout the meal. Enjoyed the Build your Own combo with fried oysters and Grouper.. Our other entree was the highly recommended Seafood Pasta. Both dishes were well prepared and portioned. Fish was flavorful, and the pasta dish was filled with seafood, drizzled with a Balsamic for a nice touch. Meal was priced well, and large portion's. Service was Cynthia was above average. Seating was available inside and outside, Happy Hour on drinks until 5p!

    Shrimp grits special, sweet potato waffle fries, chicken wings.

    Tonight I had a shrimp & grits special, he had chicken wings with medium heat garlic sauce & sweet potato waffle fries. Kendall Jackson Cab & Chardonnay. Oh my!!! Best shrimp & grits ever! So flavorful. Our waitress was very personable, local and charming. This was our 4th meal here in the last week. The redfish, grouper, crab.... Everything was just delicious. In a cute downtown district with a lot of heart.

    We went to Steamers Clam Bar and Grill for dinner on 12/11/25. I had a combo deal of blackened Redfish and scallops with a loaded baked potato and mixed vegetables. My wife had little neck clams from right off Cedar Key. All the food was well seasoned and tasted excellent. Our server, Catie O. was wonderful. She made sure we had everything that we needed. We enjoyed the art work decorating the walls too. I had wanted to come here since before the fire on Dock Street that destroyed the original location as a friend of mine had recommended them. We were not disappointed.

    Can you bring your dog ? Do they have any kind of outdoor seating where you can bring your dog?

    Dogs on leashes are welcome at the outdoor seats. Last night 2 separate couples and their well behaved dogs were near our outdoor table. No problem.

    Does this place serve local seafood? Or is it all Alaskan crap? Alaskan halibut? Alaskan crab legs? Etc etc

    All of the clams are local from Cedar Key because Cedar Key is one of the largest producers of clams in the United States. The clams in any of the dishes there are local. I highly recommend the Clam Bowl made with Cedar Key clams and the Clam… Read more

Had a choice of eating in the bar , the dining room or outside. We chose the dining room and glad we did. Overall all our service was very good. The server was friendly ( and very busy handling a lot of tables). I had an 8oz filet which was very good. I ordered it medium ( light pink center) and it cane out true Pittsburgh rare ( charred outside but rare inside- see pics) I was actually ok with it .... I order medium for my wife to have a couple bites even though I prefer more med rare. So this was def rare inside but I loved it ( I cut her a small end piece that was cooked a little more ) The steak comes with a salad, a vegetable and potato ( a lot of restaurants everything is alacarte - so for $40 for a prime 8oz filet with those sides included .... Not bad. Wife had shrimp and grit cake which is a large appetizer ( she had as her meal). Also had stuffed mushrooms to start that were very good. I think the town of Cedar Key will prob be one and done for us. Wanted to see it , it's quaint , old Florida ... but prob wouldn't come back. ( but only because we just wanted to check it off of a long list of Florida towns to visit) Pro tip: they don't take American Express , odd for a linen table cloth type of place .... So , it's ok to leave home without it

The outside was pretty full and we thought about sitting out there, but the idea of the bugs getting me later pushed us back inside. by the time we left at 6:40, there were only 3 other tables occupied in the dining room. We had a good dinner, although in reading some of the other reviews, we might have had the same server who seemed to be very slow and big gaps in between visiting our table - she seemed to disappear. I had the Calypso pasta with scallops, which was great. We had the stuffed mushrooms to start, which were yummy, but only 3. and my husband had a snapper fish of the day dish. He also enjoyed the pecan pie. And I enjoyed his ice cream. I was not a fan of any of the cocktails, so just had a glass of wine. My husband had the almond joy/mounds martini, whatever it was called, and he liked it a lot.

Young employees work there but they were very polite and personable. We ordered our dinners. 2 ordered the veal, 1 ordered the steak skewers and three of us ordered the Lamb special. The presentation looked great. We all ordered the lamb medium rare. Upon picking up my knife and trying to cut threw the lamb I realized that it was going to be an issue. It was really tough. 2 others that ordered had the same problem. We called for the server and mentioned it to them. He took one dinner, brought it out back and in comes the "owner" "chef" who appeared to be a young women. When I told her that all three lambs ordered were tough, she stood there and stared at me. After a minute or two she said, I can't understand how that can happen. I told her that I couldn't either but found it hard to cut and eat. She immediately said "Well, we can't give you anything else". I said fine, then just take it back. The others agreed to do the same. When she took the other plates on the way, she called me a bitch, somewhat under her breath but loud enough for us to hear. The father then comes in, (owner) I told him what she said and he defends his daughter saying " She never talks that way". In either case, he defended his daughter and the meal and never once appologized or said he understood or anything. After a bit of an argument, he finally said he would take it off the bill. My husband and I have never ever had to fight for money back for a meal that could't be eaten. They were rude, non-compasionate, argumentive. The other 3 people had a wonderful meal as the beef and the veal were very tender and delicious. It's too bad as we thought we finally found a great place for an elegant diner. To bad , the attiude that we experienced, means we will never go back. Beware that if you complain you will have a fight on your hands. Finding restaurants in this area is so different from other areas where they try to please. Needless to say my husbands Birthday dinner ended up a disaster.
