Very unexpected real find in a totally out of the way place. Not cheap but worth it.  The grouper was grilled perfectly and the pecan pie was the best I... Read Full Review... ever had

  Black waters was always one of our favorite restaurants until last night. 9/7/21. I made a reservation online and called to also check. Everything went downhill from there. I ordered... Read Full Review... a white sangria and our server bought a red one So we waited while she went and made another drink. No oysters. So we opted for the baked Brie. It was good. Asked for bread never received it, asked for my side of tomatoes with mozzarella to be served early that didn't happen either my husbands steak which he ordered medium rare came out medium to well.  When I heard the server at the next saying they had salmon I asked if I could change from the black grouper with the maple bourbon sauce and I was told no problem. Until they delivered grouper and tried to tell me that it was salmon and blamed it on the lighting. I did get the salmon and it was good but it took a while and since I didn't feel like eating alone we did box it up.  We were there to celebrate a special occasion and unfortunately Todd our favorite waiter was not working Tuesday. Anyway we wanted to let you know the the staff did not have their game face on last night. Too bad. A special evening was not so special

  We stopped by here randomly on our drive back home. We are all happy that we did. My husband had the grouper sandwich and raved about it. Everyone feel in... Read Full Review... love with the mac and cheese. The whole staff were extremely friendly.

  A friend of mine and I took a nice leisurely drive from Gville to Yankeetown to try Blackwater Grill.  There were steep stairs to get on the porch so I... Read Full Review... used my scooter to navigate the ramp to get on the porch.  I parked my scooter and we were greeted nicely and because we were the early birds we got a nice table by the water. The view was great!  We ordered unsweetened tea and it was strong!  Had to change drinks.  I ordered the 14oz ribeye med rare, baked potato and house salad.  My friend ordered the porch chop, Mac and cheese and coleslaw.   My steak came out rare and my first few bites were yummy but basically raw with a good char.  So our waitress took it right to the chef and got it now to medium doness but it was ok.  Good flavor and tenderness.  The potato was ok...nothing to write home about.  The house salad was fresh and the dressing ok.  No bread was brought to the table which was fine for us.
My bill was $33. W tip $40.

My friends dinner was good.  Porch chop was nice size and golden and juicy.  Turned out a bit dry but an apricot BBQ sauce helped with that.  She loved the Mac and cheese and the sweet slaw.  Hers was $25 w tip.  

It was a nice slow n. Florida experience.  Only an hour from home.  I'm sure we will return.

  It was well worth the drive from Gainesville. The food was top notch. Grouper melted in your mouth. The crab cakes were all crab with very little filling. The salads...

  What a wonderful surprise! Wanting to get out of Ocala for the evening we traveled west to see the sunset over the Gulf. Afterwards, we were looking for a place... Read Full Review... for dinner and the first place to pop up was this gem.
They have outdoor seating on the porch, but a large room inside that also included seating at the bar.
The focus of the restaurant is seafoods and  red meats. They are both done incredibly well.
I had the filet with mashed potatoes and bourbon carrots. My wife had the shrimp skewers with mashed potatoes and green beans. I will not give you a verbose description, just know that we loved them both!
Not to end there, we had seen other tables get deserts delivered at the end of their meals. A fruit cobbler that was huge, but we opted for the mousse that was big enough for four!
All in all it was a delicious meal by the river and we most certainly will return!

  This place is amazing! It's a nice house on the river. The food is excellent! Very fresh and high quality. The service is unusual-very attentive and friendly! We ate here... Read Full Review... for the first time and sat on the deck overlooking the river. Great choice! It was not hot and the atmosphere was inviting. The cobbler is baked in your own dish and the pecan pie was fresh and hot and about a quarter of the pie! Both with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Meals are a little pricey but it is well worth it. We eat a lot of steaks at different places and the ribeyes are now on the top of our list!

  We accidentally found this amazing place! It is in a beautiful location on the Withlacoochie River, all windows- bright- beautifully decorated-just a classy place. We got there right as the... Read Full Review... doors opened and there was a crowd waiting to go in. The hostess sat us quickly, our server was attentive and friendly- she was helpful - an excellent server. I had the grouper sandwich- OMG so delicious! My husband had the "Most Wanted" burger, he loved it! I wish I had room for the key lime pie but I didn't - maybe next time!
