The only reason I'm putting a low star on service is so mgmt will recognize we had an extremely poor experience with the young lady who was our first server. She took our appetizer order and brought drinks and never came back. 45 mins later (while we sat with our 82 yr old mother waiting and watching the same young lady fumble other customers and take orders from larger tables who came in after us) a very nice young man named Jason came and took our meal order and got us another round of beverages. The young lady came back and wanted to argue and said she had sent another server to us when I asked why she never came back. I corrected her- we pulled Jason over ourselves- and she continued to excuse herself. She argued with the table behind us who were also tired of being ignored and a veteran Marine who requested no tomatoes and promptly the the ones he received in the lake. Pauly also helped with our drinks . Both young men were very on top of their game while trying to assist customers while the young lady continued to do the ball and made no attempts to mitigate her bad service. Jason and Pauly get 5 stars! The young lady needs more training with an emphasis on customer interaction. We were there 3 hrs for lunch that should have been one hour at the most and a little consideration from hey versus her blaming everyone in the building would have gone a long way. All in all it would have been a straight up 5 stars all around and we will be back but we will not be served by her.

Food is horrible. There is no water front dining but canal water next to the highway. If I can leave (0) zero star I will.

A Hidden Gem by the Lake!Fish Camp Lake Eustis is a delightful restaurant with a lovely lakeside setting. Their steakburger and French fries are outstanding — the 1/2 lb burger I received (pictured in my review) was juicy and cooked to perfection, served on a buttery toasted bun, and the fries were crispy and perfectly seasoned. The prices here are very reasonable considering everything is brought in fresh, and the portions are generous.The staff here has always been friendly and attentive, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. The atmosphere is fairly casual and relaxed, perfect for a laid-back meal with friends or family with fantastic views of the lake. As a local favorite, finding parking, seating, and getting your food can take some time during peak hours, which should be expected anywhere, but I can assure you it’s well worth the wait.Many of the negative reviews I’ve read here seem to be left by pretentious people who think the world revolves around them. Listen, if you’re polite, friendly, and respectful to staff your servers will notice and appreciate your kindness. I visited for lunch during a weekday. My hostess/server seated me promptly, provided me a menu upon seating, brought me a beverage right away, and got my order in very quickly. She stopped back several times to check in on my experience and to see if I needed anything, was able to provide me with a guest WiFi password, and even brought me a small to-go cup for my Coca-Cola. Kindness begets kindness, people. Remember that.All in all, Fish Camp Lake Eustis is a hidden gem in Tavares that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for delicious food, beautiful views, and friendly service.Parking: Limited number of spots in the restaurant parking lot, but people park on the lawn on a property across the street. It can get busy here so finding parking can be difficult.

The food was really good. I like the swamp soup. My wife can't eat flour, and the shrimp and grits is gluten free. I had the fried shrimp.

Good food - a bit salty for me - great service, flexibility with what we asked for - and service with a smile. Loved it

Fish tacos were overcooked and very mediocre. Service was very good and the location by the river made for nice ambiance.
