What we found was a quaint place that was really busy The entertainment of the evening was a gentleman who was a one man band, and almost everyone there was a part of the fam club. He was pretty good. We had fast and friendly service, and placed our orders for thr grouper platter, Fried and the Filet mignon, Medium. We got sides of salad, fries and beans and rice, Nawlins style. The food was delicious! My steak was perfect and rhe grouper was delicate and tender. Its a little hard to get into and out of at peak traffic times. We'll be back

Not sure how to write this review without sounding critical but I wasn't thrilled with this place…read more I ordered the catfish dinner with slaw and it wasn't like any I've had before. The catfish was thick chunks of fish with no breading or flavor. The Cole slaw was a creole slaw made from raw Brussels sprouts, shredded carrots and kale. I couldn't eat either. The server was nice to take half the price off the bill. Not one of my favorite places.

Oh wow! We were looking for something different and decided to give Southern Palate a try based on…read morethe other Yelp reviews, and I'm so glad we did! This place is definitely a hidden gem. It's a small spot with only four tables and three seats at a little bar, but don't let the size fool you--the food is delicious! You get an entrée with your choice of mashed potatoes or rice, plus two sides. I had the fried pork chops with mashed potatoes, okra and tomatoes, and a vegetable medley. Everything was delicious and did not disappoint! My husband had the fried chicken with rice, mac & cheese, and corn, and he said it was excellent. And the sweet tea? Five stars! If you're in the Dunnellon area and looking for some good, down-home food, I highly recommend giving Southern Palate a try. Definitely worth checking out!

She came over frequently and our drinks and food all came out fast! My only complaint is the prices; I get that it's on the water and it's beautiful, but we were sitting at a table outside with ants covering everything and paying $7 for a virgin pina colada's and $4 for a soda. I digress... we started with the gator dip and loved it! Kiddo enjoyed the Philly with fries. Hubby liked the gator wrap and I enjoyed the fish tacos with Mac n cheese. Portions were big, atmosphere was great. Courtney was great. A solid stop if you're in the area and willing to spend some money.

The river is so crystal clear, and there's something really peaceful about sitting outside and watching the water go by.

I wasn't overly impressed with the Bloody Mary this time, but everything else was wonderful. We enjoyed a peaceful day on the river, sitting out on the patio, enjoying the scenery, and even visiting with the resident kitty. ‍ Definitely a great place to relax, enjoy some good food, and soak up a little bit of Old Florida charm!

The fried catfish was breaded with cornmeal, perfectly crispy, also well seasoned and very moist and tender inside. The tartar sauce was homemade and very good but they also have a good peppered vinegar. Between us all we had an opportunity to try a lot of sides. Hush puppies which one of our hush puppy lovers said was the best she ever had (I'm not a fan of these overall so I can't really say). The potato salad was very good, creamy, with just a hint of onion and relish. Baked potatoes and sweet potatoes were enjoyed by all. Loved the crispy okra and green beans. Collard greens were also good. Of course, we couldn't leave without trying the pies. Caramel apple walnut was a little too nutty for me but it was still good. They key lime was my personal fave -- the crust was a good crumbly graham cracker that was definitely home made. We also had a lemon meringue and the chocolate coconut cream pie, which was essentially a half and half with chocolate cream and the bottom and coconut cream on the top. Both had beautiful, moist meringues with nicely toasted tops. On top of good food, we had a great waitress who was super attentive and very patient and friendly. Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area and looking for some nostalgic, good southern comfort food.

At the cash register was a big sign that states: "Cash only". There is an ATM machine right by the cashier. Hence, the 4 stars. We ordered our food : beef empanadas, masitas, fish sandwich, Cuban sandwich, steak sandwich and ropa viejo. For drinks, we had iced teas and sodas. They came in huge, heavy glasses - like a tankard! I would say that the portions were large in general. Everyone loved their food. I enjoyed the ropa Viejo -it was very flavorful. The beef was tender and tasted very good. Our servers were friendly and efficient. They refilled our glasses constantly Will definitely come back here if we are back in the area. Just have to remember to bring cash!!

Started with the gator bite that was meaty and not gamey, one of the best tasting gators I've had in Florida. We then tried the frog legs and fish tacos, both were portioned generously with lots of meat. The live music added a nice touch to the vibe of a dockside experience on a Saturday night. Don't expect anything fancy, you may be sharing your meal with a few harmless spiders on the ceiling but they are there to catch the bugs. Wait staff were super friendly and quick to serve. If you are traveling through or in town for rainbow river excursions, I recommend the spot!

The decor and atmosphere just felt dated and drank. The atmosphere was extremely hot and humid. By all means, if that is what they were going for then they did succeed. But it all comes down to food. It was just okay. Nothing exceptional or even good. I felt it was just okay. The menu truly made no sense. It's supposed to be a pub feel but there is burgers, spaghetti, fajitas and then Indian food. It is all over the place. The Chicken Tikka was not flavored at all like authentic Indian food. The naan came out cold and flavorless. Think thicker flour tortilla . Service wasn't bad. Our waitress Liz was polite and continued to check on us.
