Sunset Grille

We ate at 1130 am. Great fish and chips. No baked potatoes for the mahi mahi. That was good also. Not busy at lunch.

I’m not sure about some of these reviews from several years ago but our recent visit was most enjoyable. Saw the place as we were driving through town and decided to give it a try. It’s a funky local place and totally unlike any of the many chains that line Highway 27. We had the Ahi tuna and Mahi Mahi entrees and both were superb. Service was friendly and knowledgable and the prices were unbelievably reasonable. Sure the place looks a little worn from the outside but it’s right on the water so not unexpected. The important point is that it was clean. We will make it a point to stop by whenever we’re in the area.

You absolutely cannot find a better seafood dish in town! Super fresh Mahi. Perfectly cooked Grouper. Sit on the deck if the weather is nice and enjoy the amazing view of Lake Jackson. Serves lunch and dinner, and an awesome early bird menu all day on Sunday. A must try!

Too windy to eat outside but the view from inside is great. Early bird special served all day on Sunday! The lobster nuggets were yummy! All our food tasted fresh and good! Service, great!!! Let’s come back!

Good seafood and good service, though the outside looks a bit aged. Of course, if the weather is cooperating, you’ll want to sit outside on the deck and enjoy the sunset (which is actually behind you but it makes the lake look lovely).
Not much of a beer selection, but I was able to find something worth drinking with my seafood platter. Some clams, some shrimp, some scallops and a huge piece of flounder in a lemony batter and sauce, with a big pile of tasty yellow rice and some over-​steamed veggies.
Once the mosquitoes showed up, I left.
It was a good meal and I enjoyed the time. You will too.

service was very nice. love the outside seating. we did not go into the restaurant at all. the lobster bites and dip were so good first time we had anything like that. my mom ordered some blackened fish it was delicious. I got the fish n chips it was good but they fried it a little to long seemed kind of burnt. over all though the place was good and we would go back.

Been here 3 times since 2011 when here at Sebring raceway. The food is good, service is good. It’s not super high end but well worth a visit! It’s what you would expect for a small non-coastal“old Florida” town.

OMG The ½ Rack of lamb and T Bone steak specials were so so good and the price was very reasonable. All that and a lovely lake view too

Terrible. It’s off season but we left after beers and Inedible appetizers. The owner was rude and when I went back in claims she didn’t say or do anything wrong. Frankly, not worth the rubber your tires waste when you stop in the lot

The waitress yelled at us. We came in with kids off a boat and she was very slow, and not happy we were just having drinks. We will think twice before coming back.

For what it is, this place was good.
First of all, you have to understand that this is really in the middle of central FL, which is the middle of nowhere. It looks like an RV on the side of the road (lakeside) and definitely qualifies as «hole in the wall» or «shanty».
We ordered the konch chowder (red key west style), lobster bisque, garlic mussels & clams, lobster reuben, and fish francese.
The soups were great — the bisque was creamy and flavorful and the chowder was nice and chunky. The mussels and clams were drowning in garlic and cream sauce, which was tasty but not healthy — and our server brought out rolls to sop up the sauce after we finished with the clams. The fish francese was also swimming in a butter sauce, but the flavor was good. The lobster reuben, while it sounded good, was ultimately not a good use of lobster — I’d have the lobster on the side and keep the sauerkraut and cheese sandwich as-​is.
Overall: a bit heavy with the creams and butters, but good. In a town where the «fancy» place is the Outback Steakhouse, this is a great little dive and we’ll probably be back.
Bonus: Since the local population is mostly retirees, it makes for some interesting people watching. As we ate lunch, we saw some elderly friends fly in on their sea plane, land in the water just off the dock of the restaurant, fumble with anchors and docking, and then carry all the shoes/​purses of their women as they all trudged up the shore to have lunch on the patio.

It smelled so much like «kids» «diaper» stench that we both had a beer and left. Sucks too because there patio looks real fun.
