Can I simply sit on my camp chair and soak up old Florida?? What a great day out.Drinks, service, and food were delicious, albeit pricey. The seafood platter was ok. Everyone else loved the steak sandwich

I was excited to come based on the glowing reviews. But although the service was very friendly, I thought the food was only so-so. I appreciate that the fries have skins on, but they were kind of dry. The fried shrimp--well the shrimp itself was fresh, but the coating was so strongly infused with black pepper that I had to pull it all off. The alligator had the same coating, and was really chewy, but then alligator usually is, in my limited experience. The view is ok, but certainly nothing to rave about. I'd give them 3-1/2 stars if that was an option.

Was starting to make this a regular stop. Heading back home on weekends after fishing with my Brother. Here and Jolly Gators. Staff decided to add to their Tip, not much but enough to notice. Thought I was wrong but compared to receipt and YEP! They added to their tip. Good way to build return business.

Found this place by pure luck! Location is quaint, open nature and local. All my favorite places in one. Service was polite and welcoming. Food was good.

I had been to Loughman more than a handful of times in the past and was particularly excited to hear of someone reopening a restaurant in this location (albeit with a very similar name). We frequently boat this portion of the river and had come by boat in the past.. although we have yet to come by boat now, it's still welcomed! It still relatively new as of the time this review is written so it appears they're working out their menu or at least it's been slightly different both times we've come here (very very similar though). I'm not sure if they offer any happy hour specials or will be offering any in the future (crossing my fingers they do). It also appears they're working on a "weekend only" schedule for right now as well (Friday-Sunday). Our first visit my husband got the gator po boy and I got the slider trio. The sliders are fun because you don't have to commit to all three sliders being the same thing. I had opted for two shrimp po boy sliders and the smash burger slider. We were really impressed with their fried gator tail which wasn't in any capacity chewy and the seasoning reminds me of a zatarains Cajun seasoning. For the fried shrimp on the sliders it had a similar seasoning, if not the same, and was also really excellent fried shrimp - lightly breaded. I enjoyed the smash burger slider even though burgers aren't necessarily my go-to, it was just enough to hit my craving (although somehow an excellent value for its size!). Our second trip here I decided to try the lobster roll slider, Nashville hot chicken slider, and smash burger slider. My husband got the gator po boy slider, fried shrimp po boy slider and a Nashville hot chicken slider. I was particularly impressed with the Nashville hot chicken slider - so much flavor! It wasn't Hattie Bs, but still very very excellent. The spice wasn't overwhelming at all. I hope it's on the menu next time (it wasn't the first time we came). I enjoyed the lobster roll too, though admittedly I can't compare it to others. Our friend with us ordered the fried pick 2 combo and he got shrimp and gator, and boy was it a generous portion of both! He couldn't finish it! For the service, we have yet to try the inside seating so that is a caveat of my review, but we have had excellent, tentative and friendly service at the outside bar. Phil and Jodie have taken excellent care ensuring our drinks are cold and just overall great conversation. 5-stars to our servers outside!! I'm really looking forward to the future for the newly opened Loughman Lake Restaurant! I do hope they fix that road coming in though (tip: it's a dirt road and gets a little rough at some spots).

A friend and I stopped in for lunch. Both ordered fish tacos. I ordered it with blackened grouper, while my friend ordered hers as grilled grouper. Both our sides were the grilled corn . Absolutely the whole mask was delicious. The staff is so wonderful, welcoming and great. Beautiful view. Several people arrived on airboat. This is a not miss and must go to restaurant.

We have been going to Loughman Lakeside for many years and now under new ownership the restaurant and bar are even better than before, The food and drinks are great and the service is incredible. The view from the new bar is by far the best around. We also enjoyed listening to the live music during our latest visit, We believe the live music creates an even more enjoyable atmosphere. This has become our favorite place to relax and enjoy a great meal and with a great view.

I've been in Florida for 3 years. This is far and away the best seafood I've had. Truly fresh, cooked to order. Great prices!
