I'm absolutely obsessed with Steamers Clam Bar and Grill! Located in the heart of Cedar Key, this gem serves up mouthwatering dishes that will leave you craving for more. I tried their grilled fish tacos, which were generously portioned and packed with flavor. The prices were super reasonable, especially compared to other restaurants that skimp on portion sizes. And let's not forget the drinks - their Coronarita (Corona beer and Margarita with a twist of lime) was a game-changer! If you're ever in the Cedar Key area, near Big Bend, Florida, make sure to stop by Steamers and indulge in some delicious eats. 5 stars isn't enough - I'd give it 10 stars if I could! And the desert was amazing!

It's great food, the mushroom caps were filled with crab and cheese! The clam chowder was creamy full of flavor and excellent! The key lime cake was good. Would recommend!

Checked out Steamers on a short stay in Cedar Key. I had grouper on top of spinach salad. Waitress/bartender was super nice. Honest about the grouper not being fresh, but it was very good. Super moist unlike some frozen grouper will be dry. Im sure, before the hurricanes,the location was much better. But the service and friendly atmosphere was excellent. Prices too were very reasonable!

Super sweet staff and wonderful food. We're from Gainesville and haven't visited since the hurricane until now and we'll definitely be back especially when it's colder outside. The peanut butter explosion cake is to die for I love that little sucker

I was expecting tourist trap food, that's not what I got. The clam chowder was quite tasty, as was the blackened shrimp and the redfish. I wasn't a huge fan of the smoked fish dip, not smoky enough for my flavor. But it was fine. All in all it was a very good meal!

The cold beer with Cedar Key Clams are next level! The service was superb, visited the restaurant 2x both times the servers were excellent, super knowledgeable of the food items and professional. The atmosphere is great considering their new location. , I've read some reviews complaining that the restaurant is not water front, like it used to be, and I just have to shake my head at the flat out stupidity of some tourists, do they not understand that cedar key was hit by two massive hurricanes back to back and the island is currently a reconstruction zone? They should be thankful that there's a restaurants open, most businesses would have taken the insurance money and left town, thankfully these folks have a strong sense of community, and they're staying and rebuilding and we support them 100% , Cedar Keys Strong!

We have always wanted to try this restaurant in Cedar Key, Florida, but hubby couldn't climb the stairs. That was solved when the hurricanes came through last fall. They are at their new location on 2nd Avenue, no stairs. So now handicap folks can enjoy their delicious food. We started with the potato skins, and they were crispy on the outside and loaded with bacon. We couldn't stuff them in our face fast enough. Hubby got the Parmesan chicken sandwich fried with fries. The sandwich was enormous and delicious. I had the Lobster Mac n Cheese. It is on the appetizer side, but it definitely makes a meal. I could only eat half, and I definitely wanted to eat it all. I could have stuffed me face in it and sucked it down. It was awesome. I wanted to kiss the cook. You also have to try the Key Lime cake, so creamy and heavenly. The waitress was friendly and attentive. They have seating inside and outside, and you can bring your dogs. We definitely will be making a return to try something different on their menu.

The service upon arrival was great! However, Tracy at the front desk is very very rude! When asking her questions, she spoke to my husband like he was a major inconvenience to her. She needs to find a job that she doesn’t have to interact with people.

This place won’t be everyone’s cup of tea - it is old and in need of maintenance. But. It is a cool slice of old Florida. The owners are friendly. They let me check in hours ahead of schedule. The room wasn’t fancy, there was a bit of confusion with the room key and yes, the bathroom was cramped, but it had strong A/C, WiFi, TV, microwave and mini fridge with freezer. The location is stellar - easy walking distance to great restaurants, coffee shops and a market. There’s a breezy second floor porch with a great view of the gulf. If you insist on sterile, cookie cutter chain hotels, stay away. Otherwise it is great value for the money. I would stay here again.

We stay here every couple of months. It's a little run down but at 68 so am I. Rooms are always comfortable and they have PARKING! We can walk to anyplace in town and sit outside the room and enjoy the scenery. We will be there on Independence Day 2024. Joe & Deborah.

If you have a pet, you will appreciate this place. If not, there are some better options. The location was perfect, but the room has not been updated in a long time. I would not put my feet in the tub. The office smelled like smoke. No breakfast, and no ice machine. For $100 a night, I expected more. Despite the smoky office, the Manager was friendly.

This motel is not "quaint" it is run down and totally unacceptable. There is trash all around the outside, torn and dirty carpets. I had booked for 2 nights. The room was seedy and smelly. Equipped with an old noisy window AC. Could not possibly consider staying there (and I am a seasoned traveler). Being a busy Friday, there were no other rooms in Cedar Key. I had to drive an hour north to Steinhatchee. Please beware. The pictures do not reflect the disrepair and trashy dump it has become. And it is not worthy of the current ratings. Do not book this motel you will be disappointed.

TBH, I'm old school Florida. So when I post a 4, it's because I'd stay there again in a crunch. Though someone mentioned they wouldn't stand in the tub. Accurate assessment. But if you're an outdoors person and value location over luxury then you'll be fine. Great for folks with pets. Leave your resort mentality at home. Cheers 🍻.

This hotel has all the basics covered, with a super walkable location! While the hotel is dated, the rooms are super clean. All of my linens were super soft and smelled good. Room had a tv, small fridge, and microwave. Super friendly and helpful staff.

Amazing coffee & delicious breakfast! The owner is working hard and has made a great little shop! Highly recommend you make a point of stopping in!

cute little coffee shop tucked on a corner, the door to get in and out is corky [* not handicap friendly entrance) small adorable seating inside and out on sidewalk. coffee & fruit cooler hit the spot small food menu few treats look forward to retuning

1842 Daily Grind & Mercantile is a gem! Delicious food (Quiche is gluten free & SO GOOD!), great coffee, and the friendliest staff. It's the perfect spot in Cedar Key, and we can't wait to be back.

My daughter just had a great experience at the cutest little coffee shop. She said the couple of workers there were so friendly and helpful. She is still raving about the banana muffin and iced coffee. I was pleased with the avocado toast. It turned out to be a platter actually, with eggs and fruit… so delicious and perfect this morning. We sent dad to work with a yummy sausage and egg bagel. It’s been a rough few years with these storms, but little gems like this help bring back the sweet sense of community we’ve always loved about Cedar Key. No doubt, we’ll be return visitors.

Everyone in town told me to come here. The day before i went I met the owner Ben and was telling him about this coffee shop everyone recommended before I found out it was his shop. Great coffee and great food. You definitely have to check it out.

Love this place! The coffee is delicious, the snacks are super tasty, and everything feels made with care. Plus, the staff is so kind and friendly — they always make you feel welcome. Definitely a spot you’ll want to come back to again and again. Highly recommend!

We have coffee at the Daily Grind every morning that we're in Cedar Key. The folks are so friendly and helpful, and the coffee is first-rate. They also have excellent breakfast sandwiches. We like to sit at the window and watch the birds pick up whatever the cat left behind at his little house.

Great chowder soup! Nice staff. We tried a couple of the sandwiches and they were good but if you are there you have to eat the chowder soup for sure.

The clam chowder was delicious. There is limited seating but we had no problems getting one. The restaurant also sells their concentrated canned clam chowder for 7.50 a can.

I had a platter of unlimited clams and some fresh shrimp dishes. It was one of the best foods I ever had in Cedar Key. The clam chowder there is the best that I have ever tasted. Definitely worth visiting again. Our hostess was very warm and welcoming, she made sure that everything was good for us and we are happy.

The clam chowder really IS 5 ⭐️s. We drove 3 hours from Kissimmee to Cedar Key and had to stop in. Service was quick on a Thursday at 2:00pm, our waitress was friendly and attentive. My man got the chili dog with cheese and also gave it 5 ⭐️s too. Hush puppies were delicious and so were the fried shrimp. Bummer that it closes at 3pm because I would’ve been back for more super come dinner time!

Stopped here for lunch while we were staying Cedar Key bc of all the rave reviews!! It did not disappoint. Staff was super friendly. Claim Chowder was amazing (I am pretty snobby when it comes to Clam Chowder being from New England). Food was delicious. Highly recommend stopping here for lunch and then heading across the street to the little Coffee Cafe for chocolate covered Key Lime pie on a stick for dessert.

We were in Cedar Key just for one day. So we had 3 restaurants in mind that we wanted to visit, each for their specific signature items. Here was their famous clam chowder. Many times when a restaurant has such a high reputation you find yourself disappointed. However their clam chowder lives to its expectations! It is truly the best we have eaten, and we have eaten plenty of clam chowders. It is creamy and rich yet not heavy. It is thick and chunky complimented with the fresh flavors of the herbs they add, which besides flavor it also adds texture and color. We enjoyed this clam chowder so much that we purchased several cans to enjoy back at home and to give to family and friends. As a side note, service was friendly but very slow. We had to wait quite a bit for everything, however it was worth the wait!!!!

The best service I have ever received. The servers were amazing, friendly and attentive. Excellent food with great prices. They are well known for there clam chowder. It was well worth the 3 hour drive. We will return.

I’ve been here a couple of times and love the atmosphere! It’s all very open-air and frequently has live music or karaoke. Very good vibes and good service. The food is where Big Deck is lacking a little. The grouper sandwich is pretty good, but the grouper finger basket was noticeably frozen fish and very bland, not what we expected for $16. One can infer most of their menu is frozen since they have a big freezer out back. If we come back, it will be for the music and to have a drink, but not to have a meal.

Lunch with my brother and SIL. Had a great time with good food. So happy to see the area is slowly recovering for the hurricane last year. Quaint little town to visit. Please go out and have a meal here or near the area.

This was one of our favorite restaurants in Cedar Keys. The food was good, the atmosphere is beachy and fun, and the prices are fair. They offer live music on certain nights. The servers were nice and the food came out quick every time. I recommend the steamed clams and bbq chicken sandwich, the fries are good too. Be cautious of the "flying teeth" bugs.

Finally made the trip up to Cedar Key after the hurricane last year. What a breath of fresh air to see The Big Deck back open as well as many other places there. As always, the food was delicious and the service 5 stars. Get in your car and make the trip and REMEMBER SUPPORT LOCAL !!!!

Visiting Cedar Key for the weekend & had lunch & drinks while supporting a musician from St Augustine. This is in the downtown area by the water & a nice place to enjoy the outdoor scenery & people watch. Food was fresh & tasty with great service. Was busy on a Sunday afternoon but our group of 6 got seated.

One of my absolutely favorite places to eat in Florida. This is old Florida to me, a claming town, this restaurant sits on the sound side. Very relaxed atmosphere. Not air-conditioned, but covered deck with huge fans. It was 98 degrees and we were very comfortable under the roof and fans. Highly recommend the steamed clams first. Butter and garlic and fresh opened clams. And the grilled Grouper sandwich is the best I have had in Florida, and I have lived all over the state of Florida. All around great place to experience old school Florida and feel true tropical vibes.

Very reasonably priced drinks at this cool little outdoor bar. We enjoyed listening to live music at night. We also walked across the street to the sister bar, Liam and Madie’s. They have a huge selection of alcohol and really cool place to sit inside with air-conditioning. They have lots of games and unique decorations. Also, very reasonably priced drinks that are well-made. They also have a sweet cat that likes to hang out.

29 North. Wow. Everything was amazing. Fish dip. Clams. Blackened grouper. Crab cakes. Key Lime Cake! All delightful. Our server, Elizabeth, was fantastic. And the views are spectacular. Even saw some dolphins. Highly recommend!

I've been on a mission to find a crab cake that really satisfied me, and after trying numerous ones in different states, I finally found the one. These were the best crab cakes I've ever had. They were flavorful, moist, with chucks of delicious grab. The coleslaw and house-made chips were delicious also. And to top it all off, I saw dolphins out in the water swimming! Service was a little slow, otherwise, 10/10 and I'm definitely going back if I'm ever in the area.

Amazing experience. Great environment, beautiful and tasty food, and wonderful service from Brittany. Really could not have had a better evening. Shrimp and grits were excellent as was the keylime cake.

Excellent restaurant, nice view of the bay. We got to see many species of birds right from our table. The fish was ok, nothing special. It was Blackened Grouper with a big pile of white rice and some green beans. The green beans were really pretty good. They made an attempt at a Mojito, but it wasn't very good. If I were to give it a rating from 1-10 with 10 being Steamers, it would be a 5. But, the presentation was great.

Great atmosphere and food! Service was warm, friendly, and professional! Amazing little local feeling restaurant with wonderful views of the Gulf. The fried shrimp was cooked just right and seasoned well. The bar scene downstairs gives you a great laid-back experience with seating along the water and pool tables. While the casual dining upstairs is a little bit more upscale. Nothing that you're going to have to dress up for, though, if you don't want to. The Dutch apple pie and key lime cake are good ways to wrap up your time here. Highly recommend!

Absolutely amazing meal!! I had the chicken tacos, which were remarkably luscious and a party of delicate flavors that delighted my senses! The best tacos of any kind I've ever had! The coconut corn chowder was a treat for sure! My husband was in love with his shrimp and grits! They looked like a piece of food art and taste absolutely perfect. He says he's never ordering shrimp and grits anywhere else because it would just be a disappointment. They were that good. I'm so glad we decided to try this restaurant for lunch. We almost walked out because the bottom floor was a bar (although nice, but we had our toddler in tow) and were unaware that the restaurant portion was located on the second floor. So when you enter through the front doors, go directly to the stairs on the left. There is also an elevator available if needed. The restaurant is very clean and beautiful. Very calming and elegant yet coastal casual. The views are amazing, and the whole experience was so satisfying! Even the beautifully chosen porcelainware was perfect. The Chef graciously came out to check on each table's satisfaction with their meal. We've already made plans to come back with family A.S.A.P. Can't wait! I bet the sunset dinners are spectacular.

We had a phenomenal experience here! Right down from the view to the chips. My wife and I both had the grouper sandwich. She had blackened and I and fried. It was one of the best fish sandwiches I’ve ever had! The picture doesn’t do it justice because I started eating it before taking it! The freshly made chips are warm and crispy and the drinks were delicious. I had the Florida mule and my wife the basil martini. An added bonus was seeing dolphins with the spectacular view!

Very nice for day out in the water and sand 🌞 to relax Small beautiful town working on it after the past of the Hurricane 🌀 But they will raise 🙏🏼 must try there CLAM CHOWDER Yummy too9/10

Beautiful setting. The bathrooms were clean and the view was beautiful. The only real problem was fish heads on the beach from people cleaning fish.

recently renovated after the hurricane. Nice playground next to shallow beach. my kids loved it!

Playground for kids. Dog friendly place. Clean restrooms

Great little park in Cedar Key. The park has restrooms, a pavilion, beach with swimming area, and a playground for the kids. Very relaxing escape. Worth checking out if visiting Cedar Key and you want to dip your feet in the gulf…be sure to bring aqua shoes.

One of our favorite places to get away. Cedar Key is quaint and beautiful. All the locals are welcoming and the area is affordable. This lil park is particularly cute. A swing set for the kids and a small beach with plenty of shade. Give this spot a try, you'll love it here.

It's beautiful, with whitish beach sand, and warm water. It seems to be a good environment for families & has a nice playground.

Not good at all! The clams were pitiful no flavor not to mention the stuffed mushrooms were sour. Totally undercooked...this is a big time pass! Never to return! Be aware that the original Steamers on the water burnt down due to a kitchen fire followed up by a hurricane that made it unworkable. It now sits at the center of the Cedar Keys in a small building with limited parking.

Excellent sit-down with the family for a great filling breakfast. I had the shrimp omelette with hash browns. It was tasty, but would have preferred crab over broken up sausage patties. My husband had the meat lovers omelette and had no complaints. My son had the chocolate chip pancake with bacon. He was very happy with it. Spent about $50 incuding coffee, a diet coke, and a 20% tip.

We absolutely LOVE this place! Alexa was such an amazing waitress, and the grandma was great company! We came to Cedar Key to look at a few properties and were worried when we were on the way there that we wouldn't find anywhere to grab lunch. Not only were we wrong but, we ended up finding one of our favorite places to date! The sweet tea was to die for. The sampler was out of this world good. The French dip was among the best we have ever had and the red fish sandwich was ABSOLUTELY FIRE! 🔥 KUDOS to ownership/management. This place is absolutely amazing. 💯

We enjoyed a delicious brunch here. My boys loved the 2nd street classic and country fried steak, but the real winner was my Lox and Bagel!

Great, to see them back Open. Pictured is seafood salad w/ gator bites, all hand made. Grilled grouper sandwich. Well worth the drive to cedar key

Quiet and easy-going we have a service dog and they were wonderful to work with

What a nice restaurant, not fancy, just nice clean and quiet, which is perfect to me. The fish and chips was delicious. As were the dishes my wife and daughter had, I don't remember what they had but they cleared their plates.

We enjoyed our pizzas and cheese sticks! They were fast and friendly as well! We’ll definitely eat there again while visiting the Island.

The food at this restaurant is like none other that we have ever experienced. The owner even explained to us how they recovered from hurricane Helene. I will attach a photo to show how high the water level got in this beautiful 116 year old building. The place was extra clean and the food was great, best pizza ever. My wife had the spinach salad, the rest of us shared a large house pizza. Definitely worth the stop and definitely a place to come back to in the future. I realized that the option for a photo was not available. I’m 5’9” and the water level was at my shoulders.

Tiny place! Not lots of room to place an order. I recommend ordering ahead. Food was delicious. I got the chicken pasta. The place was warm, due to the kitchen being so close. I would return if I’m back in the area. They were busy!

Nice pizza But even better people The people who were working on the 4th of July were so nice and sweet made us feel so good that we even forgot about the pizza lol Highly recommend this place!!!

Love Cedar Key Pizza! Great pizza and wings. Lots of toppings to choose from. They also have salads and other yummy appetizers. I just love that even though we only visit once a year, they have your number and name saved, so they always greet you by name when you call and make your order. Nice personal touch!!!

We tried the Tropical Storm and CK House Specialty pizzas—both were loaded with flavor and cooked to perfection. The service was fast and friendly, and everything came out hot and fresh. Highly recommend!

Outstanding! Was not expecting such a great pizza. Staff was super friendly too. We will definitely return.

Had a great dinner and Sharknado drinks. Food came fast. Love the names of the menu items! My husband really liked his That What Sea Said, my burger was really good also. Nice staff. Beautiful view. We sat outside

The Tipsy Cow Bar & Grill was a 10/10 experience! The food was awesome—the Groovy Fries and A Little Tipsy Sliders are a must-try. Everything came out hot, fresh, and full of flavor. The cocktails were just as good as their names—Shark Bite and Stifler’s Mom were both fun and surprisingly delicious. Service was excellent—our waitress was friendly, fast, and made us feel right at home. Add in the tropical views and laid-back vibe, and this place easily earns five stars. We’ll definitely be back!

Flew into from Orlando to Cedar Key Airport to grab lunch and decided on The Tipsy Cow. At first I was underwhelmed. The bartender, while polite, seemed like she couldn't be bothered to say hello when we walked in. We stood there for several minutes when she finally asked us how many in our party. We were seated shortly after. Everything got better from there. Our server, Barbara, was super nice, and welcoming. The food was fantastic! Would absolutely recommend The Tipsy Cow!

Disappointed as the Signiture item of Cedar Key clams was not available as I was told they ran out . The bottle of beer I picked off the menu was warm. Amazing that this place allows smoking still where people are eating food . All I kept hearing was people say “ someone is smoking” this is 2025 and we all know the smoke can affect everyone along with having to deal with the smell while trying to enjoy the great view!

We visited on a Wednesday night during the slower season. It has a beautiful waterfront view of the Gulf. All of the food we ordered was delicious, drinks and food came out in fair time granted not super busy. By far we most enjoyed the friendly and attentive service of our waitress, Barb!

We came here and got the coconut shrimp and fries. It was pretty tasty. Service was great and it has great views of the gulf. We ate outside. Its a very casual place and we felt right at home.

We took our two dogs and had dinner overlooking the water. Our server, Barbara, was attentive, kind, and entertaining. We ordered the beef nachos for an appetizer and they were delicious! I ordered the blackened grouper sandwich, my husband got the shrimp po boy, and my son got a cheeseburger. We all thoroughly enjoyed our meals and we will definitely eat here again! Barbara went above and beyond by moving our table closer to a fan so our medium sized dog could feel the breeze from under the table. She was also super nice to our chihuahua despite her diva attitude (the dog, not the server). Overall the atmosphere is beautiful as we watched dolphins play in the gulf white we dined. Great food, service, and atmosphere!

The burgers here are absolutely phenomenal. There are tons to choose from or you can create your own. My husband got the Hot Halloween burger, which had scorpion, Carolina reaper, and ghost peppers in it. He said it was awesome (as he sweated bullets and cried). We also enjoyed the house made onion rings and some deep fried oreos for dessert. The outside dining area looked lovely with plenty of shade. We ate inside since a storm was coming. Knocked one star off because the place smelled like a bathroom air freshener and they advertise having a ton of beer, but they didn't carry an amber or even a beer list. All in all, would definitely recommend!

One of the best places to grab a burger in Florida. Great view of the Gulf. The establishment is clean and the staff is awesome and very friendly. If you go, try the Halloween burger, if you dare..

We went for lunch today. The waitresse was really great and helpful. But the beer taps were down so they only had canned/bottled beer. Because of this their selection was pretty limited. Also, I expected more than 4 or 5 burger choices. And, they were out of coconut for shrimp. BUT, I had the fried shrimp and the garlic fries and they were both quite yummy. And the atmosphere, location and view are all great.

I had the Gravedigger Burger, well done, but I opted for no onions and added American Cheese and Bacon to it. I had Fries for my side. This Burger was out of this world DELICIOUS!! The burger itself was so tender and juicy (yes, I said it was well done). The bacon was crispy, the lettuce and tomato fresh and crunchy, the bun was toasted to perfection. This is easily the best tasting burger that I have had in the last 10 years. The fries were good also. The prices were very fair, the staff was very friendly and accommodating. We will definitely be back and will totally recommend this restaurant.

We stopped for a visit on a Saturday evening around 6:30 p.m. The location wasn't overly busy and there were a total of about six tables with people sitting at them. Pretty good beer selection with their 26 taps. Food menu was adequate with a good selection of burgers. There is a small section on the menu that advises you that the best way to eat a burger is medium-rare, however, despite ordering mine that way, it came out on the medium well to well done side. We also ordered clams which came out very gritty. We asked for butter and got butter alternative. Not the best thing to have with your clams. Still overall not terrible. The coconut breaded cod was very tasty and was good. There was a live band (solo act) playing in the corner and he was very talented which helped us pass the time. That was a good thing since from when we sat down until we got our meals was well over an hour. And of course our clam appetizer came out with our meals rather than first as we had requested. I was hoping to order an additional beer or two so I asked the server to bring back the beer menu. She brought it to the table, looked at my near empty glass and wasn't seen again until the end of our meal. Hospitality Industry Hint: if someone asks for the menu its probably because they want to order more. The views from the upper deck are awesome if you like looking out over the Gulf. But since just about every restaurant on the street has the same views, this place didn't make it to our list of places we would go back to.

Amazing burgers and beautiful view! My husband and I sat outside right next to the water and saw dolphins and manatees while we were enjoying or our meals. We also got the groovy fries to go with our burgers and the were to die for! They didn't have beer on tap do to renovations, but their food definitely made up for it. We will be back for sure!

Service and food was disappointing. Very rarely did our waitress come and check on us and our small group of 4 had to ask multiple times for refills of water or coke. The restaurant was not busy, but we waited an hour for our food. Our burgers were nothing to shake a stick at. The veggie burger was burnt, sent back, and the same veggie burger was sent back. Husband asked for a plain burger and it came out fully dressed. Overall, it was not a good experience. Appreciate the discounted food, but really hoped for something better.
