Only wood burning pizza restaurant in Citrus County.

After recommendations to go there, we finally did and will definitely return when in the area. The 16" pizza was delish as well as the salad. There was enough for 2 meals. The staff was awesome. The server convinced us to try the homemade cannoli and glad we did. Look forward to next visit!

Our friend was celbrating her birthday so we wanted to get her a cupcake. They had a wide assortment of cupcakes, pies & cobbler. The most surprising part was that they have lovely homemade soups, sandwiches, salads and rice bowls. I had a huge mexican rice bowl, my friends had a salad & a sandwich. I couldn't decide on the dessert so I had key lime pie, berry cobbler to go for later and a chocolate cherry cupcake for the hubby when I arrived home. What a wonderful experience!

Everyone I talked to loves their donuts. I purchased them for my family who traveled out of state and my finicky family member. They all loved the donuts.
I love their lunch menus....especially the BLT..
I visited them solo and ordered for my family.
I heard about them via word of mouth... 2/12 years ago.

Our first visit and we were very happy with our experience. The fried chicken and shrimp dinners were both delicious. The choice of sides is amazing and unique - really enjoyed the cauliflower casserole - the potato salad was also very good. And to end the meal, we took home a piece of apple caramel walnut pie which was yummy. And last but not least, our server was fun and very efficient. We will definitely return.

After doing a river float trip, my family searched for a place locally that would be interesting. It was tough with a vegetarian with our group. We tried the Onion Rings, Gator bites, and fried just about everything else. The crowd is interesting and I am sure this is a local hangout, so good for people watching. I had the blackened fish which was good. If you are used to eating fried foods them order away. If not then go easy, it hit my wife and I that night hard. Just too much oil compared to the food we enjoy. It was worth the change of pace and way off the road. We were not drinking but most everyone else was and it looks like that's what the place is known for. If this review was helpful, please give me a helpful vote or email me for more info. Watch out for the parking situation it can be tough to get a spot.

7. Swampy's Bar & Grille
Overall Ratings
4 based on 534 reviews
Welcome to Swampy’s Bar & Grille in Dunnellon, Florida! Looking over the beautiful Rainbow River from our restaurant deck, you can enjoy and understand the inspiration which created Swampy’s. It is the raw beauty of the Florida river swamp with a few extra conveniences added – Swampy’s great food and drink. If you arrive early enough, you may observe the family of otters that swim, eat, and live right here at Swampy’s river bank. As early afternoon arrives, you view local residents and tourists lazily floating down the river in tubes, kayaks, canoes, and a few boats. As the day ends, and the sun sets, you may again observe the family of otters venture out to enjoy their river dinner, as you enjoy yours.

What a picturesque location for a restaurant. It is located along side the Rainbow River which is spring fed. The water is crystal with a backdrop of Florida Mangroves. While eating you can watch people in tubes and kayaks go by and the occasional scuba diver. Seating is all outside, so no AC here. The main area and bar are under an open concept restaurant and if you want to catch sum Florida Sun there is plenty of seating outside.
We sat at the bar and the staff was very friendly and took our orders fast. I have the Gumbo as an appetizer and the fresh Mahi Sandwich for Lunch. Both excellent and moderately priced.
Wish we could of stayed longer. It appeared that you can rent kayaks right next to the restaurant if you cared to do so. Definitely plan to return.

Fresh Seafood Market serving Dunnellon for 10 years.
Reviewed By terrifurniss - Dunnellon, Florida
the place could definitely use a face lift. the food was blah, although one of our party liked the seafood chowder. they need to do a better job on their entrees, unless all you eat is fried food.Considering the restaurant has been closed since June 2016, Im thinking you are confusing our closed restaurant with another. Also, when we were open for business we didn't serve fried food. We didn't even own a fryer.

Went for dinner after a wonderful 2 hour cruise with Captain Mike’s Lazy River Cruise.
Service was slow and sloppy and the food while in big quantities, left one member of my party with a nighttime parting with the entire meal from the smoked fish spread to the Fab Four plate.
It was a very long wait to settle our bill as well. Not a fan of all the outside smokers whose smoke from cigars and cigarettes was pungent both in and out of the restaurant.

second time here and still very good. i had a delicious shrimp wrap that was tasty and fresh. i asked for the onions to be grilled...no problem. good sized beverages...the lemons are sliced rather small for putting in iced tea, but our server gladly gave us more when we asked. the beans and rice were very good...much better taste than appearance. rice not dry and had good flavor...not overpowering like i've had at other establishments. guests with me had the monte cristo and raved about it.
