Omar MartinezJune 26, 2013This place is fantastic! The atmosphere this place has to offer is like no other I have ever been a part of. Its a fun, energetic and has a "homey" feeling to it. The linger lodge is a destination!
Brennen CollierApril 2, 2015Everything is so good, especially the gator. Buy anything gator, and you'll love it. They also have very friendly staff.
Merab FavoriteNovember 24, 2014Great ambiance and good food. I've been going here since I was a little kid and the Braden River sampler never disappoints....hope u like frog legs!
Meredith PociusMay 28, 2019The scallops were really good and so we're the sweet potato fries and the people are really nice and the place looks very cool to go see in Florida.- Catherine WongMarch 27, 2024Food and ambience are good, wait staff we're fine, hostess was a self-important liar. Read the photo below for details.
Latonia BoudreauJune 23, 2013Very good fish camp food! Grouper is great and when Red Fish is in season you gotta try. Alligator is fresh!
John PayneMarch 8, 2015The beers are cold. They serve a local Bradenton brewery. The staff is great. I have never eaten here but the food looks good.
Neat place with good food. Service goes to hell when they get the least bit busy, though. We've had to get up and leave more than once as a result.
- Love the fried green tomatoes! The mussels are great, too!
Taxidermy bar and RV campground wasn't an option...this is Sarasota's best kept secret. One of the weirdest places in the world!!!
Connor PennNovember 23, 2012Very fresh fish and wacky atmosphere--sit inside if you can! Don't get the fries though, they were just nuked in a microwave
Lisa KellerMay 31, 2011Try the fried green tomatoes and then a blackened grouper sandwich. Best enjoyed mid-kayak trip!
Bill AJune 4, 2011Got the full tour from the manager guy here in 1997, had some alligator too....great fun, great place. :)
Richard ZeinnerApril 19, 2012Gator basket's interesting. Little bite of chewy meat. Venom sauce leaves much to be desired. Pepped it up with tabasco.

"Sea star could be the best breakfast resturant in Lakewood. Come early or prepare to wait in line. Don't worry it's worth it."
