My wife and I came for dinner. New staff is delightful! Friendly. Always smiling. Ends up we knew our waitress from elsewhere. All we very helpful and considerate. Being hearing disabled, we don't always run into that in other restaurants. WE met the owner and she was very nice. Enjoyed talking to her. I had the wing basket and my wife had the shrimp basket. Both were very good. Definitely go back.

While spending some time in Eustis this weekend with a friend of mine, we stumbled across The Oyster Troff. It was a quaint bright little bar with ample seating at 2 bars and more seating in the back at tables. We certainly didn't expect to get the great food that we got. I'm hesitant ordering raw oysters but gave it a shot. While we waited for our oysters, we enjoyed cold beer and funny conversation from other patrons who were mostly locals. The oyster shucker (who was funny and amazingly accurate at shucking) came out and shucked the dozen oysters that we ordered right in front of us and dropped the shells right on the bar in front of us. They were HUGE and amusingly sweet and delicious! Our bartender was super friendly and never left us without a cold beer in front of us. We also decided to take a shot an appetizer that were Crab Cluster for $9. I assumed it would be a tiny cluster but when the cluster came out we were floored how large it was. It tasted amazing and for the price, it was more than worth it! It was fabulous. ( note, I lived in Alaska and have encountered some amazing crabs but these were right ay the top of the list!!) We were super happy with every thing The Oyster Troff had to offer including service, value and quality! Kuddos to you Oyster Troff!! Amazing job!We enjoyed it so much, we went back for repeats on Sunday! Duplicate! Same great food and same great service! Thanks again The Oyster Troff! You should give lessons on how to do things the right way!!! 5 stars and a big hellllll yeahhh to you!!

I've been here before and this time two friends who had never been decided to join me. First the place was to open at 4PM and didn't until about 10 min after 4. The owner opened and was somewhat grumpy and didn't acknowledge he was late. Then they forgot our waters and seemed to dote on their "regulars" and we had to ask for everything we needed, including refills on our wines. We did get the spinach dip with our wine and it came only warm and was just OK.It was a bad first impression for my friends.

Three of us stopped in Friday night for dinner, after learning that there was no wait for a table at 8:00 pm. This was our first experience with Crazy Gator, and we ended up here because the wait was lengthy at another area establishment.Because my 3-year old granddaughter accompanied us, I was slightly uncomfortable upon entering a large, rather crowded and rather rowdy bar area with a few dining tables, before discovering that the back of the building contains the dining room overlooking a lake. The hostess advised us to sit anywhere, and we opted for a booth.There is no cocktail list, but Crazy Gator has a full bar. My son was disappointed to learn that only one IPA beer was available - Goose Island. He ordered it and was surprised when it was delivered in a beer mug about the size of a teacup. The appetizer menu contained gator tail. I hadn't touched gator tail in 15 years, since partaking in a greasy, fatty serving of gator tail hors d'oeuvres at a St Augustine restaurant. But my son convinced me to try Cajun Gator ($10.99), deep fried and served with honey mustard sauce. It was actually very tasty - reminded me of light white chicken meat.My entree was Cantina Chicken, a marinated grilled chicken breast topped with a secret sauce, cheddar cheese, and crunchy tortilla chip strips. It was served with yellow rice and "lime corn" - just delicious. And very reasonably priced at $12.99.My son ordered Surf and Turf dinner @ $18.99, including a top sirloin steak and fried shrimp. He said the steak was incredible and the shrimp were perfect. My daughter-in-law ordered chicken tenders and fries for herself and the little one, which they both enjoyed. The only less than stellar part of the dining experience was our server. She was cold, abrupt, didn't crack a smile, and didn't seem knowledgeable. We inquired as to whether the restaurant serves real butter for the potatoes (we won't eat margarine), and she had no idea. She seemed reluctant to ask the kitchen, but she came back with two plastic containers of yellow-ish spread and said she thought they were real butter. She didn't know if the bar carried citrus vodka either, but did offer to find out. You can choose indoor or outdoor dining adjacent to the lake, but it was so dark that we could barely see the lake. We sat inside.I wouldn't hesitate to return to Crazy Gator next time I'm in the area. Hopefully we'd get a different server.
