Lightsey’s Seafood Restaurant & Fish Co.

The restaurant Let me tell you 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 😲😲🫨 We were all shook!! We ordered the 30 day aged 1 pound ribeye and then two of us ordered the shrimp dinner one grilled and one blackened. I've had a few amazing steaks in my life, and somehow this small town at a seafood restaurant of all places served the very best Ribeye I have ever graced my mouth with....and this wasn't even a steakhouse. The steak was simply Devine 🤤🤤💦🤌🏼🤌🏼 The shrimp were the perfect size, clean (no 💩 trail on the back) succulent, tender, and tasted like they plucked them things right out the ocean this morning. I've never had shrimp that damn good. The collards, green tomatos, and handcut french fries, just fantastic! The only thing everyone at our table didn't like was the coleslaw, it had a very sweet unusual taste to it

My boyfriend and I went here tonight for Valentine’s Day. I’ve been dying to try Lightsey’s for the 3 years I’ve lived in Okeechobee, but as a fast food employee this has always been a bit out of my budget. Well, we decided to splurge after not going out to eat as a couple all year. To say I was disappointed after waiting 3 years to try this place is an understatement. First of all I got the Gator appetizer. We ordered the Cajun style. It came out plain. After bringing this to the waitress attention she scooped up our plate took it to the back and brought it back out with seasoning carelessly dumped ALL OVER the gator and brought the same plate back out with the now soggy $20 10 piece gator bite. I’m pretty sure it was supposed to go on before it was fried. Next I got the okeechobee sampl

I loved the food, we had the 1.5 pound of snowcrab and one pound of shrimp. It was plenty of food! Their coleslaw is really really good. The ambience is nice, well decorated, and the service was good. I would definitely come back to this place if I ever go back to okechobee.

Visited her December 10th. This place appeared to be good from the reviews. Seated quickly and asked about gluten free options. The server was clueless and said no one has never asked about that and she knows nothing about it. After much back and forth got the smoked trout dip with vegetables, a house salad and wanted the catfish finger fillets, However after waiting 15 minutes I am them told they cant make them gluten free. So I got a bunless bacon and gouda cheeseburger cooked medium with a twice baked potato loaded with coleslaw. The smoked trout was decent. The salad tasted old and had a very bitter taste with some laughable size tomatoes on it. The burger was raw in the center The twice baked potato was raw and hard as a rock and the coleslaw was plain nasty. Showed the server the b

It's an unusual place definitely worth checking out. The menu alone is a conversation piece offering alligator, cooler, and frog legs. The buffet has mostly everything on the menu. The cost per person can go well over $50. The food was okay. The pumpkin bread was a little to oily and the peach cobbler was dry.
