We're attending Daytona Bike Week again this year, and we'd like to take a day trip via the back roads to Lake Okeechobee. I am looking for sea food restaurant recommendations at the lake. A Yelp search has me looking at Lightsay's Restaurant, but like all on line reviews, many positive reviews with a few negative ones. I'm hoping some of you resident South Florida folks could offer some suggestions? What we want is a local joint, nothing fancy. But the food and service have to be good, with fair prices. Chain restaurants need not apply!

Thanks!

 

Roland Martins' "Tiki Hut".

 

Lightseys is an oddball place, food is ok, service is hit or miss. Roland Martins Tiki Hut like HammerheadPat suggests is good.

I live 25 minutes from Lightsey's. I have eaten at that restaurant since the 70s. Take my information how ever you want, but this is the way I see it.

If I want to eat seafood, I go to Lightsey's. There have been many more good experiences there than bad. The food is fresh and tasty. Their prices are high, but I do not mind paying more for fresh seafood. The Tiki bar in Clewiston has a tasty fish sandwich, but if I want shrimp, oysters, or any other shell fish, I go to Lightsey's.

 

Thanks all for the suggestions. Our gang are all big oyster and fresh fish lovers, so it sounds like Lindsay's is the place to go. Can't wait, been a very long winter up here in PA!

 

They shuck the oysters in full view of the customers so you know they are fresh. You also need to ask for some of their pumpkin bread. Delicious stuff. Again, They are pricey, but to me worth it.
