1 month agoMy husband and I stopped at Salt Creek while in the area. Immediately we were greeted with friendly smiling faces. A Server came over and asked us right away if we would like to see menus and what we would like to drink. Our Server was very knowledgeable about all the different foods on the menu. Based on her recommendations, I had the fish Reuben and my husband had the Philly cheesesteak. We didn’t have to wait very long for our food. Both our meals were delicious. The fries were outstanding. Our Server was very attentive making sure everything was our satisfaction. She also informed us of upcoming event events, and we’re sure to return. The restaurant was very clean and the ambience was very inviting.

1 month agoFirst time eating here and last it just wasnt what our waitress told us the triple tail fish was awful it wasnt fresh it was rubbery not flakey. shrimp was just ok. The appetizer the bang bang shrimp was the only thing good the potatoes was not fresh the cheese grits didn't taste like cheese grits. The scallops were small tiny and frozen. The crab was raw the view was the only good thing about this place. It just wasn't good at all and to top it off 1 spent 160.00 on awful food. I dont recommend if you want fresh seafood dont come to this place. We waisted food and money because it wasnt any good!

1 year agoFirst time visiting and it won’t be our last! We stopped in for lunch on a Saturday while working down the road. We asked Becky what we should order, and she said “everything!”, and she wasn’t wrong.
I had the Fisherman’s Platter blackened, which came with two shrimp skewers, a crab cake, bay scallops, and a grouper filet. When the plate arrived, I couldn’t believe the generous portion, easily the best value you’ll find in Florida at $29. It also came with two hush puppies and two sides. I chose the okra and cheese grits, both excellent.
My husband ordered the fried grouper sandwich and loved it. It was lightly fried, not over-battered, and full of flavor.
The views were incredible, right on Salt Creek. There’s an outdoor patio and tiki bar we’ll definitely have to try next time. Becky made us feel like family and truly made our visit special.
Our only regret? That it took us this long to visit!

2 years agoThis is a very nice restaurant in Suwannee Florida. The service was great and the view was beautiful. I had the grilled grouper and it was so good. Everyone in our party was very happy with the food. It’s worth the drive to Salt Creek.
