Wonderful place to relax. River boat tour,live music, draft beers. Gator bites, smoke chicken wings, sweet potatoes, and tacos were delicious. We loved the river brew draft beer. The band’s music was awesome too. We couldn’t take the tour because tickets were all sold out even for a couple of days ahead, so my suggestion is to plan your tour in advance before going. That’s on my checklist because we’ll definitely visit again.

Unique restaurant my family has enjoyed visiting for many years. Great food, service and atmosphere that takes you back to the old Florida. They are about to start a major renovation but shall be back in service within a year or two.

The catfish dinner was delicious same with the coleslaw.
I had to try the spicy whiskey bbq, which made a great for a dip for the homemade chips.
We were able to sit out on the patio and listen to the live music.
Loved the laid back riverside atmosphere!
Great atmosphere and good music!!
7 in our party with quick service.

This place is closing at the end of the month, but it’s worth the stop if you haven’t been. They currently have bbq which was so good. Service could have been a whole lot better. Some friendly faces but not overly nice. Gator bites were pricey for the small portion, still good. Brisket was delish. And so was the collard greens!
They had live music, the bbq food was great, and it’s an old Florida vibe. Go before they close!

Great place with plenty of character off the beaten path. Good food, live music, plenty of outside seating. Pulled pork & chicken tacos, homemade chips, chicken strips, fried okra, sweet potato fries, pork sandwiches were all great. There are several parking areas, so keep driving around if its busy and you’ll find a spot. Bring cash for a tip for the band when they pass the hat around.
First timers: Don’t worry; keep driving and you’ll get there.

Such a cool place, hope they don’t destroy the „old Florida charm“ with the planned renovation.
Food was delicious, generous portions. Service was also great.

What a peaceful, yet vibing and busy place to get a meal, take in Florida’s beautiful weather and listen some music… all at the same time. I gave this place 3 stars, but wanted to give 5, however the potato salad on my platter was inedible ( not cooked and covered in dressing) and I had to throw it out. My two meats bbq which consisted of pulled chicken and pork were smoky and delicious, with a side of potato chips and the perfect ice tea. It’s kinda weird though, you order on one side, then you get a pager to get the food, which you wave up in the air when it starts to buzz so the server knows where you’re sitting, then you have to take your food and go to another side of the building to get your bbq sauce and forks and napkins… that part was annoying. Also trash can are to the side of the building, so you have to walk a little to throw your stuff away. Your bill consists of a gratuity. I thought it was pricey… my bill was $29…. I could have gotten better food elsewhere…. But I guess I was paying for the view and music. Then, as usual I couldn’t eat all of my food, so had to join the line to get a to-go box…. Parking is horrible, I guess you park where you want. It’s a little walk to the restaurant. I will go back for the view and music, not the food!

Had a great meal at the Snook. Got the ribs, brisket and Kielbasa. The ribs were the star, very tender. The kielbasa and brisket were good as well. Potato salad was on point. Great views and good service made this a fun visit.

What a pleasant place to have a bite to eat. 1st the people working are so nice and friendly. I felt very welcome. It has an old Florida feel. It sits along the river where people kayak, canoe and boat tours take place.
The food was delicious. I had pulled pork, pulled chicken, collards and coleslaw which was all good. My partner had Salmon with baked beans and asparagus. she said everything was great.

Happened to be in the area so dropped in on a Friday lunch. Couple of gentlemen playing accordion and banjo very nice. Had some basic menu options and it was good. The bottle of wine was larger than life so that went home with us. Fun vibe would come here again. Especially fun if you have visitors and they want to do a river cruise or kayak
