    Suicide Oppossum Saloon (SOS) was 10 minutes from Ichetucknee Springs. My friend and I wanted to…read moregrab lunch before driving back to Jacksonville. And we didn't want to eat fast food or at a chain restaurant. There was no one else in the large dining room so we decided to sit at the bar. You can't see the bar from the dining room as you must walk through a door. The bar was nice with pads along the edge and hooks underneath to hang your purse. The bartender was friendly and attentive. I ordered fried fish which came with hushpuppies and fries. My lunch was deliscious! The fish was fresh and there was the perfect amount of breading (not too much). The straw fries were hot and yummy. I only ate half and took the rest home for dinner. There was a huge outdoor patio in the back. And both the dining room and patio had stages for live music. This spot had dive vibes but was super clean (even the bathroom). I tasted my friends burger and it was fabulous! I wanted both my meal and my friends meal lol! I highly recommend you stop in and try SOS!

    Such nice people. Food was fine. French fries like MacD had it 15 years ago just better. I had the…read morecatfish, kids had the fried chicken, wife had the fish sandwich. It was all good. I would recommend trying the place. Nothing fancy, definitely dive vibe which we really like. If you camping around here not many choices but this is a good one after some tubing.

    Oh my goodness I recommend this to anybody that loves seafood. Service was OK. It was a full house…read more Ambience was beautiful. 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.

    I have never had such horrible service. The long wait was ridiculous enough, it was the attitude…read moreand excuses. I ordered a beer and rib tips. My husband ordered a mixed drink, dip and a chicken sandwich. I was brought my rib tips and my husband got his mixed drink and dip. I waited an additional 15 minutes (done with ribs) and walked across the bar and found the waitress and asked for my beer. The waitress stuck her finger up and said "wait a minute." I walked away and the table paid the bill, and then ordered a round of shots. The shots came and still no beer or our food. I went back to the waitress across the bar and asked again for my beer. She asked you had what again. It then took another 10 minutes and she finally brought the beer. At that time, we asked for our food and she said what did you order. We told her and said it's already been paid for. Now my husband and I are still sitting here at nine pm, all our friends have left and we're still waiting on our food alone instead of with the people we were coming to dinner with. We now will not be able to see our other friends before they leave. An hour and a half to get a beer is unacceptable. Apparently, the group got into trouble with the waitress for going up to the bar and order and get their drinks. I will NEVER get our group to come here again. We now have wasted our night and are very disappointed
