That said, they rotate tables now instead of sections- so you shouldn’t be waiting long if you are worried about old reviews. Comfort: There are fans all over, so it is quite comfortable- even when it is 98 degrees outside. Are there people drinking and having a good time? Yes, that’s what Cedar Key is for. Is smoking allowed in there? Yes, it’s an open deck (Big Deck) layout. Most people and locals tend to smoke at the bar table facing the street as opposed to in the eating area. Food: As Florida goes, sometimes there are staff shortages and people come and go- cooks especially. Well, they are on point now! The grouper and shrimp are delicious, but the wings are phenomenal! The shrim wrap was surprisingly delicious as well- I’m not a wrap guy. Drinks: Seem to be on point as well. Beer was cold, mixed drinks were strong but not overpowering, and shots were large. Entertainment: The band this weekend was great. People dance, have a great time, and it gets crowded. If that isn’t your thing, I recommend staying away. I saw someone complain about them not serving babies- this isn’t a place for infants. I saw people complain about this or that and decided to go elsewhere. Guess what? Every place they mentioned comes there on the weekend when they are closing early. Good food, good vibes, good drinks, and good entertainment. That’s what I saw- all while being able to talk to locals and learn where else to go. This is a must do for Cedar Key. Scarioke on Thursday if that is your thing too.

Obviously using the lowest quality of everything you can possibly use to cook with. I was starving when got there and couldn't force myself to finish my food. It's a real shame. I'll happily remove this bad review if they acknowledge this review in hopes they go back to the quality they used to have.
