The service was top-notch as we never had to ask for anything even though they were a little busy and shorthanded. The prices are pretty reasonable and they give you a pretty good amount of food. So I have to say great food, great service and great views. Looking forward to going back again and trying the rest of the menu.

Sheila got the fish and shrimp and fries. Wow and WOW. Cooked to perfection doesn't even come close to describing our food. I almost want to marry the chef. The key lime pie and the chocolate chocolate cake was also delicious. The facility was very nice and welcoming, the restrooms were very clean. The sweet tea was delicious. After having the chef spray our hips with Pam . We slid into our car and drove home. Victoria was an absolute delight. She was friendly, informative and attentive. Thank you Castaways for the best dinner ever.

Very lovely local place next to the Lake Bryant RV resort. The food was good, too. But the customer…read moreservice (waiter, ppl there) were super friendly, nice and beyond the words. I only wish our ppl in South Florida would have the same attitude.... Besides that the place is very clean, looking neat and overall we love their design outside (fence, fountain with a pond, statues, faces, etc - very unique). When we came with family and our kids were bored they gave them some chalks to draw on a ground. And kids were very happy and busy.

The outside tiki atmosphere was nice, but it was impossible to get away from the smokers. I ordered the lemonade which was like a minimally stirred Countrytime powder without any sugar. I couldn't drink it, nasty stuff. The potato salad was ok, and the mushroom Swiss burger was ok. Prices were very reasonable but I will not return.

I moved to Welaka in January and one of the things I absolutely love about this little town is the…read moreOld Florida vibe. The Boat Bar is a perfect example of that. It's right on the St. Johns River, laid-back, casual, and just feels like a place where you can sit back, have a drink, listen to music, and enjoy being outside. No big-city attitude, no trying too hard--just good people, good times, and the river. I love that Welaka still has that old Florida feel, and Boat Bar is definitely part of what makes this little town special. If you're visiting Welaka, go check it out. Sit by the river, have a drink, and enjoy the view. I'm pretty sure this is exactly the kind of Florida life I was looking for when I moved here.

We watched the sunset on the water and had a giant fire pit to sit next to when the sun went down. I do recommend getting the deep fried grouper. It was amazing and the oysters raw were fat and juicy. Unfortunately, they just had their sushi chef pass away so we were not able to experience that.

After seeing their FB post of what looked to be great food-we were excited to try out the…read morerestaurant, especially being they advertised LA oysters-so we jumped in the car to check it out. When we walked in, didn't really know if we just sat ourselves at a table or what so we seated at the BAR and waited. After a bit of time the server told us she would be with us shortly, we waited and after some time she breezed by quickly handed menus to us and said she would return..we said sure ok, no problem...so we waited some more-when she finally returned she asked "what are you having"? I said well "we would like a drink first"-she said "you didn't look at the menus"? No not really..we wanted to order our drink first. And she copped a smart tude right then and there. Said she was working by herself and scoffed that if we were in a hurry and had to be somewhere, well then their place might not be the place for us and walked off. Well, having a drink first does not equate to being in a hurry to eat and we were sitting at the BAR, that would have been a good start to having our meal no??? After she walked away, I responded with Say what????? I told my husband "she really didn't just say that to us right"?? Who would not get upset about that kind of service! My husband then noticed she seemed to purposefully serve others that he guessed were local patrons and even serve a few who arrived after us. He told me to be quiet, which I did.. but she knew I was not happy. So she finally came up and my husband ordered our drinks. We were waiting for our drinks while looking over the menu and witnessing the server continuing to checking people out, talk to the person who walked right in and strode up beside me to order a to go order and walked to the other side of the bar taking other orders/checks etc. ..still no drinks...We sat there but decided whenever we FINALLY got our drinks we would go ahead and place our order right then. Then she came up and told us she would NOT be serving us and to have a good weekend and took the menus-I didn't even know what had just happened! My husband said we were being asked to leave. For what?? He said let's go and we did. I know the restaurant biz personally and how stressful it can be, but that is UNACCEPTABLE. If that hurt your feelings honey, you need another profession. And if your boss allows that behavior they are no better. Deleon Springs is a small town and I assume everyone in there knew we weren't locals, so if that's how you treat people go for it and if a diner out there wants that kind of treatment and dining experience, here's your place! We will NEVER go back. We headed right down the road and had a very nice meal at the DeLand Fish House which was equally busy and were greeted with a big smile and a warm welcome by the servers and hostess. Drinks arrived before our seat got warm and the food was excellent-Deleon Bar and Grill needs a lesson on how to treat patrons, And your server needs an even bigger lesson in customer service! I would give a ZERO if I could! It was that bad of an experience.
