Cedar River Seafood of Gainesville

"I really enjoyed the food and the service."

"The food was absolutely amazing. I had the fried catfish, gatortail, shrimp, french fries, coleslaw, and absolutely loved the starter dip that they give you with the crackers. The servers were all very kind and fast and the atmosphere was pretty cool because it felt like a lvintage seafood place Inside, although it is in a modern plaza. The other place that I like is really far across town but I am often not too inspired to drive 20 to 25 minutes to go get it. This place was just six minutes up the road, it will be my go to seafood place from now on."

"It was very enjoyable, and the service was spot on. I didn't have my usual waitress, but the new lady was very knowledgeable of the menu and provided great service at the right time. The owner is very personable, and it's great that he will jump in and help his team. The only negative I have is having to pay extra to pay the bill with my credit card. The food is consistently good here, so my family and I keep coming back. See you Saturday."

"We came in late on a Saturday and this place was not busy, which we loved. I'll try to keep this short though I have many great things to say about this place. The fried seafood was probably the least oily I've had anywhere. We had the trio with fried shrimp, fried grouper and grilled scallops. The scallops were juicy and perfectly cooked, and the seasoning was delicious. I know this sounds dumb, but I'm a scallop snob, and I was very happy with them. It came with some hush puppies, also really tasty! Fries were good, so was the slaw. My husband really loved the fish dip too! The trio and the deviled crab appetizer was the perfect amount of food to share between the two of us. Our server, Toni was very helpful and friendly. The atmosphere is kinda cute, and exactly what you'd expect with sea decorations all around. Very casual and comfortable. We will certainly be back, and are super excited to find a place we can go when we're craving some good fried seafood."
