We found this scenic restaurant on our way back after stopping at the springs. It's boat-friendly, dog-friendly, wheelchair-accessible, and very kid-friendly. We visited during lunch and had a bit of a wait before the food came out, but watching the river made the time pass so quickly--we even saw dolphins jumping, which was such a memorable surprise. The staff were very kind and welcoming as well. read more

Love this restaurant. Great service with an excellent view. My son loved it. We saw an alligator and two manatees!! Perfect spot to eat after a day at the springs or on the river. read more

Had an incredible experience at the Suwannee Bell last night! We sat upstairs in the enclosed restaurant area, they also have an open sided bar downstairs overlooking the Suwannee River. We had the steamed clams as an appetizer, I had the blackened chicken Alfredo for dinner and I can say it was some of the best Alfredo I have ever had. My parents got the blackened grouper and they both loved it! While we were sitting having dinner we got to watch over 20 sturgeon jumping out of the river it was the coolest to see. All the food was good, drinks were great, server was lovely, all around great experience! read more

My husband and I recently moved to the area and have quickly come to love Suwannee Belle Landing--we've already been maybe 6 timesThe setting is absolutely incredible. We love sitting outside; the Suwannee River views are gorgeous and make for a perfect, relaxing meal every time.On top of the beautiful setting, the food is excellent! Everything we've tried has been delicious and fresh. What really sets this place apart is the service. On every single visit, the staff has been attentive, informative, and genuinely friendly. It's rare to find such consistent, quality service, and it makes all the difference for both of us. Highly recommend stopping by--it's a truly wonderful dining experience all around! read more

Suwannee Belle Landing - Suwannee River View. Tranquil view while dining - Seafood Near Me - Old Town, Florida

Was pretty good in that easy going no frills fish campy kind of Florida way. Nice way to spend a lazy Sunday. So you can do rustic on the bottom floor or kick it up a notch topside. I thought the food was good. Somebody here can definitely work a fryer. Fried chicken special was good and came with cake!!! Was a beautiful view. Our server was very attentive, friendly, and nice. Definitely looking forward to returning someday soon. read more

The food, service & atmosphere are fantastic ! Cheyenne was excellent even though we moved tables her service was amazing

Lovely spot that felt rustic but clean. We arrived on a Saturday around noon and was able to park our class C RV in the parking lot. We were seated immediately. Great views of the river. Friendly and attentive staff. My husband and I both ordered the fish Reuben. Nice sized piece of grouper that was cooked perfectly. He ordered the fries and I ordered the zucchini. We did not order a mixed drink but the menu was on the table and the average cost was around $6. I would definitely visit again and highly recommend. read more

The Suwannee Bell is Awesome, the food is amazing and the staff treats you very well. The view of the beautiful Suwannee River makes for an awesome atmosphere and Ambiance. The fried shrimp is great, as well as their specialty items. This is a home county restaurant and it's a good compliment to our other places to eat, because of the variety in the menu. read more

Visited this restaurant several times and for the most part it's good. The food is generally good, one thing I didn't like is you can't get the shrimp,fish and scallops cooked differently like I like. You can only order all fried or all blackened, grilled ect. This is a problem for me because I like my fish blackened, shrimp fried, scallops broiled. The amount of money they charge here you should be able to get what you want. The service is not very good either. It took the waitress 20 minutes to come back to see if we needed refills. I sat there waiting for another beer as I can clearly see her standing by the kitchen playing on her phone. I can go to THE LIGHTHOUSE and they have no problem cooking my food the way I ask. The view of the river is nice but I'll choose another restaurant over this one. read more

I had lunch at Belle Landing with my Wife . We were sitting at the bar . We ordered a chicken sandwich and a burger with fries. Both dishes came out quickly and hot . The food was delicious and the portions are big . Our Bartender Cheyenne was very friendly and attentive. She helped us with the menu giving us recommendations and answered many questions we had about the river and surrounding area . The restaurant is located next to the river. It's a beautiful view as you enjoy good food and beverages . read more

Service was not great, messed up meal, which was supposed to be their signature meal. Grouper was delicious I would have liked to have it how I ordered. Server did not understand that the dish was not prepared properly.......shrimp was very good as well, but once one person in your party doesn't get what they ordered the email is ruined for everyone. Don't order the cheese cake it is dense and weird but the key lime pie is amazing read more

It's always a welcoming environment! Great staff, food and drinks. The food is fresh, the views are spectacular!

We have dined there before - hence the return. Good food, excellent service. Calming quiet view of the river. We will definitely return and bring friends to share the experience. read more

Fantastic ambiance and very good food. Very good service. But the River makes the place.

Ambiance was priceless. Was at the campground with family down the road and they accommodated our large party with ease. read more

Suwannee Belle Landing - View from their dock - Seafood Near Me - Old Town, Florida

Steamed clams, fresh out of the gulf, were outstanding and a great deal. The service was quick and accurate and provided with a smile. Friend had deep-fried oysters and raved about them. Busy on the weekend weekday lunch much more civilized read more

Very crowded on a Friday night, so they must be doing something right. However, that much said, I was rather disappointed. Due to how busy they were, I suppose, it took a very long time for my food to come out although the waitress was attentive and friendly. When my fried shrimp basket finally appeared, the serving of shrimp was fine but the coleslaw included was barely a garnish, the sweet tater fries numbered few, and only one small, overcooked, hush puppy! The shrimp supposedly are local and tasted pretty good, but again, the serving size in contrast to what you get up the road at the Lighthouse was just paltry and unimpressive. I also had the "small" serving of their famous key lime pie: this came as three tiny pie tartlets, which in size was fine for the price and expected as the "small" serving, but the amount of crust overpowered the key lime flavor. A larger single tart would have made more sense. If you order other dishes or come for the cocktails and a by-the-river drinking environment, maybe it's more fun and better food, but overall I was a little disappointed. read more

This place is located on the Suwannee river. The view is beautiful. They have outside seating downstairs and indoors upstairs. Our server was friendly and helpful. I had the blackened grouper that was delicious. It was seasoned perfectly and cooked right . The sidewinder fries were crispy outside and tender inside. The coleslaw was good too. My wife got the buffalo shrimp. They were big shrimp battered and tender. Sauce was just right. Her onion rings were crispy and delicious also. This restaurant is down a dirt road and is old Florida. What a gem. Wish I lived closer to hang out at night for drinks. read more

Well the atmosphere is awesome, love being by the river? This is for you!! We got sat down right away, and ordered drinks and appetizers(forgot to take photos of appetizers..lol . Our waitress was awesome, and our food was amazing, music playing in the background wasn't too loud, and this place is worth the little bit of extra drive off the beaten path to get to, It does get busier some peak times so pay close attention to the day and time of the week. Boaters pull right up to a floating dock , and walk right up, pretty cool. read more

We ordered the Oscar Grouper, expecting to have a really nice dish for my birthday. It sounded elegant- asparagus, grouper, lump crab, oscar sauce...if you look up Grouper Oscar on the net, you can see a few elegant recipes...https://www.delphfishing.com/grouper-oscar-florida-style/ https://www.fb101.com/recipe-grouper-oscar-recipe-from-resorts-new-menu/ This is not what we got. We got a grouper filet with a sauce, but nothing spectacular. We ordered a salad, which came after our meal arrived, and after we asked for the salad when it didn't arrive (before or at the time of the meal). The crab... was it even there? I couldn't remember if there was any crab on the plate or not, so if it was there, it was not very noticeable. The meal was $27.00, more expensive than other entrees on the menu. They didn't have key lime pie which we were wanting, but only cheesecake for dessert. We were not impressed, and it was not the quality we were expecting... either food wise or service wise. read more

Thank you for another great meal. Tried the wings for the first time.....they are great. Anything shrimp or gator is a real treat. Beautiful day on the river and the place was packed. Hmmmm...never have to wait for a table in Gainesville. Great food, great service and a beautiful setting. And we have friends who now drive from Gainesville to enjoy a wonderful meal. 10 minute wait for a table was just fine! I really appreciate that their disability parking spaces are on concrete with no transition of surface. Very safe access to restaurant and the person who seated us already had a route mapped out to our table. read more

Pulled up on the water today after fishing for lunch and beer, great service at the bar by Bri, Food not so much for the wings, were pre cooked and dry, was 10 for $10 and only 9 there, read more

I had dinner here last night and overheard an older female worker make an extremely inappropriate sexual comment to my waitress about her body which caused her to cry. This behavior was unprofessional and unacceptable, especially from someone in a leadership role. I hope management takes this seriously. read more

Off the beaten path -the atmosphere is riverfront. Nice! Has a "dive bar" feel with typical pub fare. We sat at the bar and service was attentive. Only complaint I had was the bartender was super busy while other staff seemed to just stand around. Seemed a bit unfair but we were certainly taken care of. We were there for lunch and it wasn't crazy busy -but guessing the weekend evenings are quite crowded. Ya, I'll be back! read more

Great atmosphere. There staff is knowledgeable and attentive, right on the river. The seafood is good and so is the ranch

Me, hubby & 6 of our friends came here by jet ski in Dec. everyone loved their food. Hubby & I ordered gator tail, which was good. I had the grilled grouper w/ crab cakes & veggies. I really liked the grouper & veggies. Crab cake was just ok & I wish I had asked for the cheese sauce on the side. Hubby had chicken parm sandwich, which he liked. Service was good, food was good. We would all definitely go back here for another lunch stop via jet ski if we're ever in the area again. read more

If you like dining waterfront, this is your spot. Good service and good food where the locals go hang out. Jukebox available. Plenty of tables. Right next to Fanning Springs. Go check them out! read more

What a spot. Come for the views n tranquility alone. It is a restaurant made of wood and on stilts situated right on the suwannee rivers edge. Could not be a prettier setting. The food was pretty good too. I had the mixed trio of tacos - gator, shrimp and fish - all were very tasty. I ordered the fries - which came a little late - but I was a happy girl. The portions are also generous. My husband ordered a steak which although was not the best quality it was cooked very nicely and he really enjoyed it. Wine is served in plastic cups - I hate that. Service was friendly and helpful. Plenty of parking, and AGAIN THE VIEWS!!!!!! read more

The hubs and I have been relishing our empty-nest syndrome by taking weekend jaunts around our great state. We're also house hunting, so that takes us off many a beaten path. The Suwannee Belle Landing restaurant is perched right along the Suwannee River off Highway 19 in Fanning Springs. The lower level is a bit louder and more open air. It has more of a waterfront vibe. We chose to sit in the enclosed upstairs dining room because it's hot as the Devil's armpits in Florida in August. Also, the huis hard of hearing and I don't like to repeat myself. The upstairs dining room was quiet and cool with a beautiful view of the river's comings and goings. Service was a bit slow to arrive, but when she finally took our order, things arrived quickly. Upon other recommendations, I ordered the raspberry margarita. Um, I would say if you enjoy a good, fresh, margarita, don't do it. It tasted definitely of a mixer. Since I'm known for squeezing all day for a good 'Rita, I should have known better. I ordered the fish reuben. It was delicious. The fish was crispy, the coleslaw was sweet and tart. I was in fish reuben heaven. The house made chips were so crunchy and were awesome with their tarter sauce. Don't judge me. My hubs got the fresh clams pasta. There were more clams than pasta! He loved it. Overall, we'd definitely go back. The view alone is worth it. Just remember, riverfront isn't fancy. It's a total vibe. read more

What an amazing experience we had at Suwannee Belle Landing. We love dining near the water any where we visit. We were staying at Fanning Springs state park and this restaurant was an amazing choice and very close to our cabin. I would highly recommend trying the fish dip, pretzel and cheese and the gater tail appetizers. read more

Long wait but food was great and I really enjoyed the atmosphere. Great for those who have a boat.

We've been here a few times. We love the atmosphere and the food. We always sit downstairs with the outdoor bar and the Suwannee River next to us. We've never had a bad visit. Service was friendly and quick. I'm a little disappointed that they have now added a $3 up charge to share food. I'd understand I'f we hadn't ordered 2 appetizers and drinks. Either way, we love this place. The fried pickles were great. My favorite on the platter was most definitely the fried grouper and their fries!! read more

Ordered Wings "extra crispy" and they weren't even cooked all the way through, couldn't even eat but a few small ones. I told the waitress and said I would pay for them but she needs to tell your kitchen help they messed up big time, I did pay for them but you all destroyed me wanting wings, blood in them not cooked all the way through. read more

Service was trash, waited for 20 minutes for drinks, then waited another 15 for the so-called waitress to come back and check on us. Beers were empty we ordered another round and she brought back the wrong beers. Still waiting for food. Ordered calamari asked for tartar waited 20 minutes for tar tar sauce. Calamari was cold. Watched a waitress take chips off a customer's plate to eat as she was delivering. Never again. read more

There's several reasons for choosing Suwannee Belle Landing. The food is excellent and sitting outside while dining is really fun. In the spring and summer months, it's not uncommon to see a giant sturgeon fish jump out of the water or even a manatee pass by. Manatees can be seen any time of year. The food comes on disposable plates and baskets. This is to reduce waste water from dish washing, entering the Suwannee. There's always plenty of staff for fast and friendly service. I always look forward to eating at Suwannee Belle. read more
