This is hidden gem in a very small town in Fellsmere. We have actually eaten there several times over the years. Tried it again last week and had one of the best meals ever. I had the blackened catfish lunch with black eyed peas and okra, yum. Most of their food is southern style. My husband had the chicken with baked beans and mashed potatoes. Our friends who had never been there tried the frog legs and the BLT. No one was disappointed. The service was good and this historic building did not disappoint.

Home style, country cooking Swamp cabbage is usually available. Frog legs, Gator, Burgers, Pork Chops, Salads, Desserts Historic building and great service. Lots of taxidermy art too. The ambiance is southern lodge style.

They lie to you if they don't know you are a regular. See my pics for my actual review. It is written there.

As we live pretty far away, we only get to go maybe 2 to 3 times a year, but we never disappointed. The atmosphere is great. The food is delicious and the specialty drinks cannot be.

Beautiful historic setting, with mostly street parking. Service was excellent, although the food was for the most part under-seasoned, but plentiful. Definitely worth a visit, especially if you want to try some of Florida's more "unusual" proteins. They do have a full bar, and people at our table raved about the Swamp Water although we didn't personally partake.

Really enjoyed a plate of alligator, frogs legs, and catfish. Very Florida swamp ... er, marsh! I made the visit with my mom over Christmas during the day. I think it would be very amusing to see the place without mom at night. (I love her dearly and liked this place, but .. things might be different.)

We have been dining here often. We drink, spend money, tipped well. More then many there. However, we will never return after tonight. Thursdays are busy, there is music. You need reservations. We made reservations the previous Thursday when there. Told you can’t reserve specific tables. But you can see people get their same tables every week. Asked for the table that we were at. Told sorry you can’t reserve a specific table. So we get there at approximately 5:30. They have our reservation. Several empty tables including the one we had the previous week. We are led to the very back of the dining room. behind a post with no view of the musicians. I ask for the empty table we sat at the week before. There are several other empty tables as well. . Told nope, you can’t have that table. or any of the other empty tables. Soooo…if we have a reservation, but you can’t reserve a specific table, and are placed when you get there, who gets the empty tables. Waitress that tried to seat us in the back said you can’t sit at of the other empty tables, and no you can’t reserve them. We called our friends and told them not to come and we left. Nope ?, don’t like being lied to and treated like that. Nor should you. Plenty of other places to go to.

Ok this is a must stop here and eat place! Full of old Florida charm, relics on the walls, just a cool place. Think it's in the old town hall or a school, but easily found on the main drag in Fellsmere. We started with tasty and very hot fried green tomatoes. I had the Gator and Grits w fries and coleslaw. A nice variation on shrimp and grits... very yummy, nicely spiced with the right amount of "zest!" Janie had fried chicken, mac and cheese, and greens. She loved it. We went on a Saturday afternoon so it wasn't busy, but every time I roll by there are cars here. There's a fun lil gift shop next door that seems to display local artists' work. I think it may be an evening dinner spot as I overheard the hostess taking reservations. Anyway gotta experience this cool spot!

My wife & I stopped in today because we saw a sign on the side of Rt 95 that this restaurant was off the upcoming exit and it wasn't a fast food place. Are we glad that we stopped in.......The service was great, so friendly. Lunch was amazing, I had the fried chicken and my wife had the meatloaf. The servings were so large that we both got a second meal from the take home. Even with a couple drinks and pie for dessert the total bill was under $60. we will certainly be returning the next time we head up 95.
I went to Marsh Landing restaurant for Thanksgiving with my husband and his family with a total of 12 people. Our server was rude and it was a very disappointing experience overall. Our waitress should not have had any other tables while trying to take care of our large-party table because we definitely felt forgotten in the separate back room. We sat down at 5pm and by 5:40pm, our waitress had still not taken our food order. Two of the appetizers we ordered were out of stock, which was disappointing. The salads were literally 2 pieces of lettuce, absolutely embarrassing to call that a "salad". The plates were pretty much thrown on the table in front of us. Our waitress did not come back to check on us after the appetizers were brought out and by then, everyone's drinks were empty. By the time our waitress did come back, we had to stop her to ask for a full round of drink refills. I was charged $1.95 for a tiny side of gravy, on Thanksgiving! Once we finally got our meals and finished, our waitress did not even offer any coffee or dessert. She just threw down the check and at that point, we were more than happy to get out of there. We will absolutely not be coming back to this restaurant after such a rude and disappointing experience.

This is a great spot to eat. Lots of local dishes and located in a very small town with great atmosphere.

The food has been amazing every time we have been there and the service is outstanding! The shrimp and grits is to die for

The service was great. The server was pleasant and patient. The decorations inside looked antique which was nice. The food tasted good.

Decent food. Small sides. Large drinks. Nothing crazy really really simple it's like southern food with no seasoning
