Blue Lagoon Saloon

I reviewed this solid Sebring staple 9 years ago and I'm still visiting! Time for an update.Arriving- It's on the northbound side of US Route 27 at a very busy intersection with no light so be careful! The parking lot is adequate during the day but a problem on busy nights.Ambience- This is one of those Dive Bar+ places. It's a step up from your typical dive with much much better food choices. Expect old Florida kitsch and an unbelievable number of TVs. It's a perfect place to watch a game. Split Personality- Day and night experiences are entirely different here. By day the crowd is older, more sedate, and orders more food. Nights can get wild, especially Friday and Saturday! Much younger crowds, let's say under 35, heavy drinking, and a little rowdy at times. You'll definitely think "Dive Bar" at night!Pro Tip- One of the few places in Highlands County that is open 11 am to 2 am every day! The kitchen stays open until 1 am every night. It beats the hell out of fast food!Customer Service- The owners choose to go with pretty ladies showing lots of skin as servers. Fortunately, they also look for competence and I've rarely had a problem. The servers work as a team here so you may be touched by two or three.Food- Huge menu for a small restaurant! There is a ton of fried food and they do it well but there's lots of other choices. Expect to see burgers, seafood. salads and they are well known for their wings! BTW- The Nachos are spot-on and awesome for sharing.I went with their Skipjack sandwich @ $9.50. It normally comes with house-made chips, but I switched to fries for a $3 upcharge.Pro Tip- Although unclear on the menu, their standard fries have Cajun seasoning and a little kick. Now you're informed!My meal was easily five stars. It was super flavorful and moist pulled chipotle chicken, and spicy cheese, on a perfectly toasted pretzel bun. The fries were amazing with a nice outside crunch and piping hot. Check out my close up pic and try not to drool!So, I had a 5-star meal, and my servers were just fine. I'd like to give them 4.5 stars but I'm going for 4. If there is a big game on, go very early or expect parking to be a nightmare. Also, you need to be ready for the atmosphere, especially the day to night personality change. It's a shock to some folks.

This place has gone down hill over the years but I decided to give it a shot today. The place wasn't busy and there were 3 servers working. The one behind the bar, Ashley, brought me a water and then never came back to take my order even though I was sitting at the bar and told her I was ready to order twice. I watched her take 10 minutes to make someone a Bloody Mary - after 20 minutes I just left. Lord only knows what she is doing to keep her job.

Nice little country place. Live music and good food. Servers were extremely nice and attentive!

Hubby & I were in town only for one night. We got here pretty late so there were not too many restaurant choices available. I'm really glad we went here! Service was good. Food was delicious. I thought this would be a dive bar, but the atmosphere is a decent bar with good food. We sat at the bar so our bartender lady kept my vodka clubs filled up! Haha! We ordered gator tails & nachos for appetizers (yah, we're fat kids!). Gator tails were ok, but the nachos were really good. I had blackened grouper w/ veggies & corn on the cob... loved my meal! Hubby had the Smokestack Burger with fries... hubby said it was good. We would definitely come back here again some time.

Good food good people good prices. Ice cold beer. Pitchers for 10 bucks. Manatee bites and swamp sauce. Hot wings and fries loaded nachos etc

It was great. The atmosphere was fun and the staff were super friendly and attentive. The wings were cooked well and had great flavor. Wish were able to stay longer

The service was not great. Server didn't bring silverware, napkins, drink refills. The wings were awesome but I didn't have any napkins or a drink... and the Mac and cheese bites were the best food on the menu!

Love the ambiance. The food is good for this caliper of restaurant.Now, about the service. I found a penny in the parking lot on my way in. I am glad I did, the service was so good, that's what I left.

Door Dash delivered Taco Bell for the waitress and the bartender signed for it. Doesn't say much for this establishment.

The Food an Service is Always Excellent the people are Friendly and the Food no matter what you order is Awesome On my last visit I ordered the Ribeye Steak with a salad and grilled Veggies. The steak was perfect MedRare and it was the best side salad I've ever had was huge and had everything mushrooms onions tomatoes cheese croutons all fresh and delicious.
