This is a little "out of the way" place on the St John's River in Deland. It doesn't look like much from the outside, but the food is incredible and reasonably priced. The white fish sandwich is the best value in all of central FL...More
Great food and down home service on the St. John's River. They make your food to order so it's not fast. Sit back, relax, have a beer and enjoy the view.
We docked here for lunch this past weekend. They were out of the one thing I wanted for lunch (fried shrimp) so I had to settle for something else. The gator tail and the popcorn scallops were either over cooked or cooked in old fryer...More
Shady Oak is a little "hole-in-the-wall" restaurant right on St. John's River. It is a great little place and has porch seating overlooking the river. Gator tail is one of their specialties and it was quite good. I had the clams and they were good,...More

What a delight to come and visit the rebuild after the fire that nearly destroyed this landmark. We came while boating last week and we love the new interior. The food was delicious and we loved watching the sunset on the deck over the St....More
The patio is more like a covered porch, which is accessible either by boat or entering through the restaurant. When I went for lunch, I noticed a couple left their dog in the boat.
