Waterfront dining:
Crumps Landing. Great location on water, good food, good service and live music. Children’s playground, corn hole game. Make a reservation. 11210 West Halls River Road. 352-765-4942. https://www.facebook.com/crumpslanding/
Marguerita Grill: Always noted for the large drink…they have large menu and have early bird specials. If the seafood selection includes trigger fish: TRY IT! I like it and I am a picky fish eater! 10200 W Halls River Rd, 352.628.1336. https://www.facebook.com/margueritagrillUSA/
The Freezer is a favorite of locals: prices are cheap–menu is limited: cole slaw, chips and salsa, hotdogs… but great peel and eat shrimp and seasonal catches: Alaskan king crab legs, blue crabs and stone crabs. Try the steak (thin) night on Wednesday. Don’t dress up to dine here; this is a warehouse with a boat dock with boaters and locals coming in and out. 5590 South Boulevard, 352-628-2452.

Florida Cracker Kitchen/ Monkey Bar. Although we did not eat, people raved about the thin crust/flatbread pizzas. The Florida Cracker Kitchen Riverside Resort is a separate building with a large menu. I have included menus for both places. Always nice to watch the boats go by, and we timed to see the monkeys being fed on Monkey Island. Can’t believe how cleaned up the area has become, 20 years ago, it was just kind of a dumpy resort area. 352-628-2474; 5297 Cherokee Way;
