The service was great ,very sweet server and hostess. The food was wildly subpar. Our group unanimously agreed the best thing we had were hush puppies and side salads. Homemade ranch was a huge plus. We all thought grouper tasted like catfish. No cheese, seasoning, butter in the grits (shrimp and grits.)Shrimp were served with tails, had to dig them out of the grits to pick the tails off. That was weird and awkward. She crab soup pretty awful as well: 4 pcs of crab and some milk.

do not order the fried catfish! it’s way too expensive to be a special and has absolutely no seasoning. it looked fabulous but when i dove in and took a bite it tasted like fried cardboard with plain fish in the middle. love the staff and the atmosphere here but yall need to do better with the seasoning.

This is one of our favorite places for a date night! The food is impeccable, and the service makes you feel like they want you there. I always get the Parmesan crusted grouper, and my husband loves their fried shrimp. You have to try their peanut butter pie for dessert. I highly recommend this restaurant! You won't be disappointed!

This was my family's third visit in three years to Daphne's and by far the least satisfying. We were a group of six, so we were seated in a small "private" room (although not by request). The problem with this room is that it's entirely internal (no windows) and is used for two groups at a time with only bifold doors (that don't close all the way) between each party. With another large group in the same room, it was very difficult to enjoy our dinner without hearing their conversation the entire evening.Our food was decent (except my steak), but not up to the standards we expected. My NY strip steak was ordered medium rare, but was served medium well. The server agreed that it was overcooked, so she returned it and brought another. The replacement was rare, not medium rare. At this point, I was already 15 minutes behind the rest of my party and did not want to wait for a properly cooked steak, so I began to eat it. Flavorless is the best I can say about it. So much gristle that only about half of the steak was edible. The twice baked potato was good, but the "biscuits" with my dinner were awful - hard as rocks, cold, and crumbled into dry little pieces when cut. Frankly, my dinner was a waste of $46. Our server was great, but that's about the only positive thing I can say about this visit.Incidentally, we were surprised by the number of empty tables in the main dining room on a Saturday night, given that in prior years the restaurant was packed. If we come back next year it will be with the hope of significant improvement.

We were staying at Shear Lake Resort and this place was recommended. I can’t say enough about it. I had the grilled grouper with cheese grits and hush puppies. My husband had the deviled crab. Everything was delicious. The presentation was top notch. The hostess and our waiter Noah was so nice and accommodating. We were traveling through and decided to go halfway to this area and we are so pleased to have found this hidden gem.Quaint homey atmosphere..Loved it and will be back.

Daphne is a fabulous place to enjoy excellent food in a quaint, cozy setting. The catfish and hushpuppies are the best anywhere. I enthusiastically recommend Daphne Lodge.

We dined at Daphne's for my husband's birthday. As soon as you walk in, you're warmly greeted and shown to your table. The comfort of the fireplace and antiques surround you. Our waitress Candy was a joy. She was pleasant, curtious, friendly and, had a sense of humor. The food was beyond outstanding. We did splurge on a bottle of wine and it was well worth it. The cost is a bit over average and again, worth every penny.
