Lighthouse Restaurant - Fanning Springs (FL)

5 /5 Amy Boatright: Very cool funky old Florida feel inside. A little bit of being in a ship theme. Outside doesnt look like anything special outside. So many great dinners and restaurants are like that especially in these type areas. But believe me always good and homemade. This restaurant has Alot of great southern seafood( mostly fried to perfection ) I had the Deviled crab stuffed shrimp ,with cheese grits and since I didnt order the salad I got a loaded baked potato to take home. My husband ordered the fried shrimp which there was plenty ( maybe not the bigger sizes you normally think) a decent portion with the best fried Okra and he did get the salad bar.Which had regular salad bar stuff.Potato salad ,macaroni salad pea salad all sorts of southern things. Of course pudding. As far as I could see every table was loaded down with tons of choices .Which this must be a huge draw to this restaurant. Of course also because of the amazing family friendly staff.Our waitress Niyonna was very sweet. Youd feel like a regular by 2nd stop. They would Rember you. So very many reasons on menu and on other notes worth going to. Make this your stop in a stretch of road that doesnt have much. Its worth it !Yes there is wine on Sunday and it was nice and cold.

5 /5 Christian VZ: In town camping and went to grab some dinner. Accidentally stumbled into the nicest place. Lots of nautical decorations (imagine eating on the deck of the USS Constitution), food was great (ordered the "Dinghy" fish, shrimp, crab cake and crab fingers, considered "lighter fare"), but the service... they were genuine, patient and friendly. Ina waited on me, but I saw this with other staff, to: "Sir", "Hon", "Darlin", all professional and sincere. Some may not like that, but I thought I stepped in a time machine & was back at my Grammas table. I spent $20 & couldnt finish! Definitely coming back!

5 /5 Christina Davis: Nikki was our server and provided top notch service. Everything from the onion rings to the steak and crab legs was DELICIOUS and perfectly cooked. The decor is amazing. Love this place! 5 stars! Will definitely be back again

5 /5 Carol Coppinger: Its kinda like going back in time when personal touch was a special part to making a restaurant special. The salad bar is filled with all varieties of salads and items to make the salad that makes you smile. Whether its a booth or a big party they can handle it. The decoration fits the name. My Fish sandwich was cooked perfectly and very fresh and not just a manufactured battered square....it was a real fresh piece of white fish.

4 /5 Barton Cooper: Food was really good and came out quick and hot. A pretty nice salad bar. The inside has the old Florida feel. Our server was very friendly and made sure we had everything we needed.
