Restaurants near Panther Swamp National Wildlife Refuge

We ordered the fried artichoke app, Redfish and filet with creole sauce. The redfish was excellent with a nice sauce and tons of crabmeat. The steak was perfectly prepared and fantastic as well. We also split a wonderful wedge salad and awesome french fries.

I highly recommend the crab cakes and the fried oysters! Amazing! You won’t be sorry! Steaks were perfectly seasoned and prepared, the mashed potatoes were really good too. I wasn’t a huge fan of the sautéed mushrooms- they could have used a few more minutes of cooking and a little more seasoning, but they were not terrible. My son ordered the Ahi tuna and he really liked it. Nice wine list.

We try to go once a week for the martinis but now we’re hooked on the food as well😋 The smash burgers, fried green tomatoes, grilled shrimp and the redfish are some of my favs!

I'm not a fan of how the tables are arranged. It feels like a cafeteria and somewhat impersonal. The sitting area in the bar is great. The food was very good except for the house salad. I assume they had a new employee doing salads that night. Steaks, Crab Claws, Tuna Tower were great. However, the stuffed Shrimp was very odd. To much stuffing and there was a loud herb/spice in the dressing mix that left an after taste.

This is by far the BEST overall dining experience we’ve had when dining with Inn associated restaurants. Beautiful music at the perfect volume, candlelight, helpful and knowledgeable wait staff and food that exceeded all expectations. Stand outs were the seafood gumbo and special Mahi Mahi. I can’t wait to return.
