I'm always looking for a fun destination bar/restaurant to drive to on a nice day. What's your favorite?

Actually, I’ve been to all the one’s mentioned. Looking for something new to me. They all were fine. Thinking of trying Eaton’s Beach next, maybe today.

Thanks for the suggestion. I spent 10 years at Bay Pointe. Miss the Marina Restaurant. I know there are condos there now.

We tried the Freezer once. The food was good, but the flies were very annoying. And we sat inside.

If you are craving steamed shrimp, it’s the place to go. Other than that it’s not a place I would return to.

Been there a few times...
Decent burgers, but the rest of the food? Meh... Too much "fried everything"...

I like Eaton Beach. They have a restaurant/bar and fun beach/water activities. Nice outing and very close to TV.

May want to check out Gator Joe's last couple of food inspection reports, I won't be that desperate for a water view..

Eaton’s Beach Bar and Grill < http://eatonsbeach.com/>
Only 10 minutes from Spanish Springs. Lots farther from “down south”, of course. Great Louisiana food.

We really like Rusty Bellies in Tarpon Springs, FL. Fun place with good food and libations. We lived in Land o' Lakes, FL for a few years and enjoyed going to Tarpon Springs for Greek food (Hellas is great and the Greek beer, Mythos, is my favorite libation there), shopping, and participating in the Wine Walks they hold quite often. Be sure to visit "SpiceMan" shop for great spices, rubs, sauces, etc.

I enjoyed Ski Beach in Leesburg (sister to Eaton Beach) recently and if driving a little bit further is not an issue, Grills Tiki Bar - there is one in Orlando but the best one is in Cape Canaveral, right close to Jetty Park (day trip)

Eaton's Beach is one of our favorites. I like the wash day special half and half. Big Bass Grill in Lake Panosofkee and Cove Pub Restaurant near Inverness are also on our favorites list. Cove Pub has Airboat rides also.

We often venture out a bit farther than many do. Three places we like in addition to many of those mentioned above are:
Corky Bell's Seafood, East Palatka
Enzo's On The Lake, Longwood
Seagrass Waterfront Restaurant, Homosassa
