Waited for a very long time at the main dining entrance without acknowledgment. When we were being walked to our table, there was food everywhere on the floor. Once seated it took a very long while to be greeted and served, even though the waitress was nice. We ordered fried pickles and crab cakes as an appetizer, which were okay in taste. My s/o ordered the prime rib special and said it tasted horrible. I ordered the panhandle chicken which tasted really eggy. There were unfortunately tons of flies inside, And while eating you could be overwhelmed by the smell of cleaning chemicals because the buser was spraying the chemicals directly onto the tables and you chose see it misting in the air instead of on the towel then wiping the table.

Bad gumbo , I have been going to Wakulla Springs Lodge Restaurant for years and have really enjoyed the gumbo. They have changed the gumbo recipe and the gumbo has gone from very good to below mediocre, No flavor, rice with a few shrimp, a piece of small sausage and flavored water, yuck

We had 4:30 reservation (Friday). We were the only customer's and waited at the entrance of dining room for quite a few minutes. The first employee walked by, without acknowledging us, leaving us to wonder if the facility was open for business. Finally, upon being seated, we were handed dirty menu's splattered with remnants of food from a previous meal. After wiping clean the knife/fork, we began swatting flies attracted, probably, by the food on the floor. We ordered an appetizer, crab-cake, and, after finishing it, were happy we hadn't ordered the crab-cake entre. The entre's were fillet mignon and shrimp which were very good! We will definitely be back to Wakulla Springs for the Wakulla Springs BUT NOT FOR DINNER.

The boat ride was wonderful. The park ranger who piloted our tour obviously loves the river and cares for the abundant plant and animal life there. Very informative and interesting. We saw lots of wildlife including birds, alligators, and manatees.

Imagine yourself back in time when the restaurant was in its prime. You are truly transported back to a bygone era. The Friday night shrimp special is delicious.

I ate here 10 years ago and the atmosphere is quite different now with an alleged reconstruction that appears passive not active. Having said that the quality of the food especially the beekeeper salad was noteworthy ,delicious ,beautiful presentation and flavorful. The gumbo on the other hand had an entire plum tomato which appeared to be canned, this is just absolutely should have been chopped up or at the very least quartered...
