Aunt Kate's

Cute place! We almost missed it. It's down at the very end of road in the middle of nowhere. It's big though! Lots of seating; inside and out. Lots of parking. It's right on the water. There's a pier and a boat ramp, too. Our server was super nice. She was attentive without being overly so. She was great! We didn't want to sit outside, so we were sat next to a big window with a nice view. The food was good. Here's what we had:Pulled pork with black rice and beans. The pork was ok... but it was covered in sauce. The menu said it was smoked in house. We tend to like smoked pulled pork that doesn't need a bunch of sauce on it. So it was just fine. The beans and rice were really good! Fish tacos. These were amazing! Some of the best fish tacos I've ever had! So mild but seasoned well. It comes with a chipotle ranch type sauce along with typical fish taco toppings. They were so darn good! Kids cheese quesadilla. It was a good little quesadilla! Simple but tasty! It came with a ton of fries. By the way, the fries were great, too! We were happy with our visit. There's only like two restaurants out that way; we're glad we chose this one.

We ate staying at North Beach campground so we decided to walk from our site to this restaurant. We have been here before and enjoyed the food. We ordered fried green tomatoes for any appetizer and along with our drinks a carphania and a margarita. Both great. They also brought out a bread basket with sweet cornbread spice bread and other breads. Our meals came out , hunny ordered the dish tacos with collards and hush puppies. I ordered the special which was dill chicken salad on Texas toast with fries. Everything was wonderful and since we have been here before very consistent we are very pleased. We highly recommend and will definitely be back again.

We had a pretty good at Aunt Kate's! We originally went for the fresh oysters but they didn't have any so that was a bummer. We ended up taking advantage of the happy hour but the drinks were not all that good. We also ordered fried green tomato's to start and they were fairly good. We got wings, the Cobb salad, crab cakes and the seafood platter. Everything was just okay, nothing amazing but good. The service was strange, our server was a bit passive agreement with us and we couldn't really tell what he was trying to do. But we sat outside and it was a lovely view. Lot of tables were left uncleaned though so the birds were all over the place eating the leftover food. Overall, we had a decent time.

We have been wanting to stop in and check this place out while in the area, it's definitely a five star location, what a beautiful restaurant sitting on the river bank. We arrived late morning on Saturday and it was packed with customers, they had some kind of themed event going on but we decided to enter from the porch and immediately found an empty bar inside so we grabbed a few stools after being greeted by the bartender. She dropped off a few menus and we ordered drinks - after reading a few reviews from my fellow Yelpers we decided to stick with a cocktail and an appetizer- I asked for a recommendation and she volunteered that the gator is popular but its frozen from a box but the coconut fried shrimp are fresh and hand breaded in house and served with an orange sauce.The margarita was really good and packs a punch even without a floater, the draft beer was cold but served in a plastic cup so drink up, in my opinion this place needs a giant outdoor tiki bar (I may have never left). I definitely made a great choice picking the coconut fried shrimp which I rarely choose, this was an amazing appetizer and a very generous portion of large butterflied shrimp served hot from the kitchen with a citrus orange sauce which was delicious. The service at the bar was really good, the bar tender engaged us in some positive conversation during our entire stay. After leaving the restaurant we checked out the fishing piers and did a little people watching before leaving - it's definitely got some of that "Old Florida Charm" going for it which we love...

Food was very good, fresh ingredients and plentiful. I has shellfish Fra Diavolo and it was VERY good. Atmosphere was beautiful outside and service was great

Well this place is off our list. The worst dining experience ever. We had a server who looked and acted like he wanted to fight every customer in the place. Super angry with an attitude- He asked us if we wanted water and I said no, but we would like two unsweetened iced teas and his response was "don't you like water", and he made a nasty face. I asked him about the Minorkan chowder and he said it's red. We asked him for regular sugar and another face was made. Ordered our food, which was never served. There was another couole sitting across from us and I saw our server toss their bill on the table and heard him say "you got your bill - have a nice day". The man and his wife appeared upset. That was the last time I saw our server. Finally after about a half hour/40 minutes later Kendall, another server came over and asked us if everything was okay. We told her about our server and she told us he's always like that". She apologized and she did her best to get our soup and dinners. She got us ice for our iced teas and brought bread to the table, which we didn't know was part of their process. She was very pleasant. The food was pretty good, but I wouldn't say it was delicious or special. Kendall told us she mentioned our experience to the owner, but that person never came out to discuss or apologize for the service or dining experience. When we arrived and again when leaving there was no presence or indication that an owner or manager was there. There were a few teenagers at the front desk when we left and no one thanked us for coming in or visiting the establishment. They didn't even acknowledge us or look up. This was our first time here and we will never go back. How the owners allow this guy to be a face of their business is just incredible. We actually thought we were being "punked" or he was trying to be funny. Dining is out at this place!! Oh, the guy singing and playing the guitar was the only thing that kept us there the first half hour!

Just gorgeous atmosphere and local vibes. We came here on a family vacation, and lucky for us made the stop to this establishment. The food was good, everyone enjoyed their meal. We sat outside and the view was lovely. Super down to earth and we felt right at home! Don't miss this, it became one of our most memorable meals of our family trip.

I had Aunt Kate's on my mind, so on my way home from my stay in Vilano Beach for three days, I came by here for a delicious shrimp lunch. The highlight of my visit was ANDREW! I am so glad he waited on me. He did a great job in making me feel comfortable and I never wanted for any. He brought anything I needed, before I had to ask him. He is a true asset to this Restaurant. The ambiance and sitting outside on the water is always a plus. I love the music they play. Sometimes they have a Musician performing here on the outside deck. The food always rocks the house here. I've never had a bad meal here. If you're ever in the area or make a special trip here, you won't be disappointed.

Food was very good.Service was excellent.Beautiful location with outdoor seating on the river.

We ordered the muscles appetizer which were very good, but could use some fresh herbs instead of what seemed to be dried seasonings. there were almost 1/2 dozen that were served to us that were unopened and inedible. We also ordered the blackened scallops with a rice and beans side and grilled mahi with a side of pickled beets. The scallops were cooked very nicely, but could've benefited from more blackening seasoning. The rice and beans were good, but benefited from the house made hot sauce. The mahi was cooked a bit over, making it a bit tough and dry. The beets were delicious and a generous portion was served.Service was terrific and Samantha was friendly and attentive. We purchased a bottle of the amazing housemade hot sauce to bring home.
